Chris Broussard just said on FS1, that Philly would be willing to do a Ben Simmons for LeBron trade.
Doubt it. I'd do that trade in a heartbeat though.
It's actually a fair trade, and LBJ can go back to the East and win a title before he retires
Klutch for Klutch... I'm cool with it if Ben remains the low key chill dude he's seemed to be... we'd lose the trade for a few years, but since Lonzo's camp has been rumored to be unhappy... maybe it works.

I'd consider it too.
But that Lonzo/Simmons backcourt? Lonzo would be gone in that case.

Yeah, LBJ is a monster but I'd be fine with Simmons.
But Lonzo would be the odd man out. BI/Simmons/FA would be how they would run it. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I like Lonzo, but if his family is unhappy... I'd gladly take Ben.
If only Ben could learn to shoot a little, then we'd really win that trade.

Not that I think it happens (LBJ is a massive cash cow for the Lakers) but imagine something like:
Simmons
BI
KL
You could keep Lonzo around but he won't be happy with his role. And we'd be selling at such a low point too. However, 76ers would have to match salaries and that's tough (unless they dump everyone Harris/JJ/Butler). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

You could trade Lonzo for a shooter... go for Kawhi to be the star.
I'm still down for LBJ and believe he will come back as a top 5 player next season.
Even for someone like LBJ, this season was an embarrasment. And he usually comes back hard when he gets motivated. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

How about Lebron (@37.4m) for Simmons (@8.1m) + Tobias (@22.2m) + Zhaire Smith (@3m, keep or trade him for a pick depending on who we want/get with our own pick)?
Simmons / ?? / Caruso or Bonga
Ingram / ?? / Hart or Smith
Kawhi / Bullock
Tobias / Kuzma
?? / McGee / Wagner
One of those ?? gets filled by who we trade Lonzo for.
I will be pulling a lot of the quotes from this thread when some of you jump back on the bandwagon.
Look for LeBron to be right in the mix for MVP next season and for the Lakers to be mercifully back in the playoffs. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny
The Lakers need a fresh start... LeBron is not it. He's a cancer and a coward.
I have a suspicion that Kobe and Phil are advising Jeannie and this doesn't bode well for LeBron. The Lakers don't have to worry about any sort of backlash from trading LeBron either. Everyone in sports knows that LeBron is a plague. As long as the Lakers do not dump him, no harm is done at all. If the Lakers dump him, but still end up with Durant/Leonard and Kyrie; all is still well.
LeBron ruined his ability to be taken seriously by Jeannie. He and Klutch are not greater than the Laker Brand. _________________ “There are no limits.

Lebron on the Lakers gives the Lakers the best chance to win now.
Lebron is not as dominant as before, but if the Lakers assemble a team around him it will work.
The problem is not give up the young core just to win now. Take it as it happens.
The Lakers have a chance to get a second star this off season. Do that right.
And gain some more inside defense and shooters.
Making the playoffs and a winning record is a lot better than 7 years of tanking and being close to last place. Will take incremental improvements.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo recently said that he declined the invitation to be in "Space Jam 2," days after reports circulated that LeBron James is struggling to recruit NBA players to star in the film
I get it on Giannis's end. Besides the fact it would interfere with his offseason training, why would he want to join a film where he's supporting (ergo, the assumption is that LeBron is superior) when he's the better player now.
When Jordan did Space Jam he was the best player in the world. That would not be factual if Giannis or even KD (he may still do it because he's cool with LeBron) were in supporting roles for LeBron. Obviously, this assumes that the plot is similar to the original Space Jam, but you get the picture.

SMH......Lebrons a coward now?
I really picture you in the corner of your parents basement with a tin foil hat on typing out that fresh pile.
This is seriously the worst post ive seen here over the last month and I dont even like Lebron.
