Who is this guy? He only has like 500 followers. IG, you know better than to cite to random sources. |
LS, he is quoting Stephen A Smith on the radio, I will send you the link and you can listen to it

1) Chris Paul is telling people that Lebron doesn't want to come to Houston
2) Chris Paul is saying that Lebron just wants to be in LA
3) People in LA aren't sure Paul George is going to come to LA
4) Paul George is sentimental, may stay in OKC. Has a good relationship with Westbrook.
5) The money is also making PG13 want to stay in OKC
6) Stephen A Smith is not hearing that Lebron joining LA is dependent on PG13
Chris Paul is telling folks LeBron ain't trying to come to Houston. He wants to be in LA. These are things I'm getting through the grapevine. Chris Paul is saying LeBron wants to be in LA.
Thanks CF.  |

Of course all that PG13 stuff could change once he gets to talk to Maginka (7/1). |

Would you like to win at least 4 more championships before you retire? That would put you ahead of Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Magic, Kareem, and MJ. It would cement your legacy as the greatest of all time.
Here is how you can do it. We can have a lineup, starting in 2019, of
Ball-Ingram
George-Hart
Kawhi-Kuzma
LeBron-Randle
Lopez-M. Robinson
That lineup would be one of the strongest and deepest in NBA history. The only two players over 28 would be you and Lopez. The lineup could thus stay together the rest of your career with the Lakers, as PG and Kawhi play through their primes, and Bill, Ingram, Hart, Kuzma, and Randle play into their primes. You would have a great chance of winning 4+ championships before you retire.
There is one way to make it happen: Agree to a salary of $25 million, and convince, PG and Kawhi (starting in 2019) to do the same. The money that each of you will be giving up will be a drop in the bucket in relationship to the fortune and fame that you will achieve by being the NBA's greatest dynasty since the Bill Russell era.
Of course we may be able to acquire Kawhi earlier--and we will do our best to do so. However, there is no better way to pressure San Antonio to trade Kawhi to us this year than by convincing them and the league that, if they don't, we will sign him outright next year. The 25/25/25 plan can allow that to happen.
So, its your call. If you want the max, you have earned it, and we will pay it to you. But if you want the best possible path to 4 more championships and GOAT status, help us sign you, PG, and Kawhi, while retaining all our promising youth! |
Great idea, but you’ll have to show or at least explain a little more math.
How much is Randle making in this 25/25/25 Plan? |
I don't know, maybe 14 million? I think the cap will go up to at least $108 next year. Not sure if that is enough or not. We can always go to the 24/24/24 plan  . |

Where'd Deng go? Looks like we still have our #25 pick to draft M. Robinson.
If LeBron wins 4 more titles, that means GS doesn't win another title? Also, Kawhi doesn't come until 2019. Did we win a title in 2018-2019 before Kawhi comes?
How much do we pay Kuzma, Ingram, Hart and Ball once their contracts are up? |
Deng gets traded a year from now with a first and a second. We start winning in 2019 when LeBron is 34 years to start the season. He plays 6-7 years so he can break Kareem's scoring record and play with his son. In the meantime, we win 4 titles in those 6-7 years.
As for Kuzma, Ingram, Hart, and Ball, we pay an incredible about to keep them all, but hopefully the cap will rise and we will be bringing in lots of money. |

I'm still not buying it. A bromance with Westbrook isn't going to be enough to keep him there in the end.

Well if Paul George doesn't want to come, why wouldn't Chris Paul just come on down?
Then it would be a no-brainer to trade Lonzo for Kawhi...
I'm liking a Lebron, CP3, Kawhi lineup. |

I would do that but it's being reported the Spurs don't want Lonzo.

LOVE IT. THIS would be big picture thinking. There is nothing in the rules stating a player can take LESS money. However, you set yourself up for more money in the future as you become the best basketball player EVER. I would imagine this is priceless. 10 mil a year to become the best that's ever played the game while you make it up in the back end anyway? I mean, it's a no brainer. Can someone have Warren Buffet relay this message to his buddy Lebron. |

If CP3 isn't hurt by then and KL doesn't have a setback. CP3 would most likely be injured by the WCF probably sooner.

I think both PG/LBJ will troll people until 7/1 making it appear like it's such a difficult decision to leave OKC/Clev. of all places.

Cool, so how do we get the word out to Kawhi before 2019? Or do we just assume Kawhi is down w/ this plan?
So if Kawhi doesn't sign in 2019 then no titles for LeBron? Do we have a backup plan if Kawhi doesn't want to take $25 mil to sign w/ us?
Also, is it a guarantee that a team is willing to take Deng next yr for a 1st and a 2nd? Are we assuming this too? Is there a backup plan in case no one is willing to take Deng? |
