A thought I can't seem to shake lately is what if Lebron sacrifices pay for a legit run at Golden State? If so, we're the best and most likely fit. We all know Lebron is destined for billionairedom, if not already, is it that far fetched that he would say, hey I'll sign for the mid level to form a super contender rival in the East. Imagine we revisit Anthony Davis (I know, I know...), Lebron would be looking at a lineup of IT-Hayward-Lebron-AD-Horford, with a decent bench, that lineup smashes the W's. There could even be a sign and trade scenario if he prefers more dough and we ship out Horford and a pick.
Pipe dream? Likely. But with the current NBA landscape, crazy moves are being made. It makes more sense to me than going to LA and pairing with PG13 to get crushed by the Warriors for his final years. If he wants to add rings to his legacy, going West ain't gonna help.
