Here is a scenario that I think can play out...

LeBron to the Charlotte Hornets...

NBA/basketball reasons it works:
1. No superstars on Charlotte, so it doesn't look like he is cherry-picking
2. Young athletic defensive team
3. Solid Center so that helps him
4. Stays in the East (which is WAY easier than the West)

Legacy reasons...
1. Teaming up with Jordan (the owner) allows that hatchet to be buried
2. Jordan would then be in his corner
3. Not going to join other superstars makes it appear he is not taking the easy way out
4. Picking a small area/market team makes it appear he is valuing Basketball more than his brand...this makes him a media darling (a la Durant)

What are do you guys/gals think of this idea?

He might as well go to the D-League and win 12 rings there solidifying his place as the GOAT (in the D-League).


In all seriousness, I think he's staying put.

You're implying all of this with one of the mentally-weakest superstars of the past decade. He's in second-to-last place (in front of Dwight) and you're asking him to take a matured and respectable path? I see him going back to Cleveland before he goes to Charlotte.

Any teams accepting new fans?

It's looking like the Sixers may draft Joel Embiid because it looks like Cleveland & Milwaukee don't want to take a chance on him. I am very worried that the Sixers are gonna draft him. But I also heard that because of this they might draft the PG from Australia, Dante Exum. I'm sure he's great, but we just drafted a PG last year that won rookie of the year. Unless he can play SG, because we don't need a PG.

man, exum plus carter williams would be one of the best young backcourts

exum is very versatile, so it would be pretty awesome

wait to see what u get first, i mean jordan was drafted 3rd so.......
it will be an exciting draft, and no one knows what will happen , trades etc

I just don't like the idea of having 2 PG's. Even if one can transition to the SG position, it doesn't usually work out. You end up with 2 guys trying to run the offense.

i think exum is really a shooting guard, could even play the three
he is raw at 18 so u won't know what you have for two years
he will get bigger obviously and his game will change over that time

so at the end of the day unfinished product and who knows.

embiid would be a good pick
7 foot with movement and skills
he will take some time as well

there is so much up in the air, a lot of the top 4 picks are unfinished products, all with high potential
parker looks the most polished and ready of the top 4, like a paul pierce type,

Fuck the Sixers, I'm done.

ok dude sixes got Embiid

amazing pick but massive roll of the dice on that broken navicular bone with 2 screws in it

if bone heals he is a steal, probably the best steal

if it doesn't .......tears and another tank for u.

to all the boston fans, personally i would burn down the garden after that pick

i mean u really gonna trade rhondo, its insane
boston just acting like a mental patient who wants to hurt themselves, its hard to watch

There's no if about it. It's going to be another 10-15 win season. Embiid will be on the bench all year (like they did with Noel) to get him him 100% healthy. They act like the only way to rebuild a team is slowly over years with just draft picks. Well...that's one way to lose fans.

My Heat go out and get the PG in Napier whom Lebron "loves" interesting. That's pretty much a good bye to Mario and possibly Norris Cole. Gotta love the undersized PG'd

Also FCK bill simmons and his sandy ass
