KD is not quite the diva ,  he wants a team , he likes having a real coach and does not mind being coached .

Befon is to selfish and has to being everything ....46 minutes a game ...he must have the game play with tye ball in his hands all the time. ..one man team with some employees to help him.

Lebron has few options because what  he made himself into.

OP wanted KD to go someplace else from Boston?

No, I wanted to KD to go to Boston. But remember that was pre-Kyrie and Gordon. But my point is that I want LeBron to go to an up and coming team, like Boston. Not a team that is already a surefire contender like Boston today, or Houston.

Indiana is the spot! George or LeBron would fit in easy.

LeBron playing with Lance would be hilarious.

Also, yeah LeBron on that pacers team would be fun if they could keep dipo, bogs, thad, Lance, Turner, and sabonis.

Seems to me Philadelphia fits perfectly in the semi-contender, almost there category.  Why are New Orleans, Portland, Utah, Washington, Minnesota and San Antonio less of contenders than Philadelphia?

This is a great point, and shows the bias in indeed's post.

But with that being said, screw Philly, that's why we don't want LeBron to go there.

Heck ya we're biased against them!  I say it with pride.

Yeah, pretty much.  The case the OP is describing fits the sixers to a 't'.

Something about LeBron as a Laker just looks and feels right. Maybe its because I despise them both so much?

I actually see Philadelphia as a sure fire contender with or without LeBron next season, it’s why I omitted them.

A contender for what...making it to the ECF?  They certainly are not a contender to challenge for the title (which is what you're asking of Lebron).

Personally, I don't want LeBron to go to the Sixers because I think it would mess up Ben Simmons's development and make them a lot less fun to watch.

I think Paul George should go there, though.

I think they're a contender to get out of the East next season. I'm expecting pretty dramatic improvement from Simmons, Embiid, Fultz, plus adding another piece with their pick/trade, etc.

I think Dipo would regress noticeably if LeBron joined Indy.  Same way that Dipo did when playing with Westbrook and that Love did when joining Lebron.

Could not disagree more. Philly will likely lose a couple of the veterans they heavily relied upon, and neither of their two stars can really shoot. Regular season team

Is that what you want lebron to demonstrate though...take a team to the finals?  I mean, he's only done that like, eight times in a row.  Or do you want him to take a team to truly challenge GS?

And I disagree that Philly will be surefire contender, and certainly not to win it all.  Perhaps that additional piece would do it.  Hey, I have an idea.  How about if that additional piece is, say, Lebron?!?

The only veteran they really relied on was Redick.  He'll almost certainly return if they don't sign Lebron or PG13.  Belinelli and Ilyasova were trade deadline pickups so they weren't heavily relied on.  Both of them and Amir are not hard to replace.

I think this take is wrong. Westbrook and LeBron are very different teammates. They do have some odd similarities (most noticeably, they force teams to play a certain way to maximize their talents), but in terms of play style they're wildly different.
