If Lebron does leave, what team makes the most sense?

  • 77Legend
    I think Chicago. Add a better center (Defense, Rebounds, Scrappy), move Joakim to the PF and get a good 3-point shooting guard, I think it would be nice.

    Chicago.

    Rose is the perfect PG for LeBron imo. Noah is the perfect PF. They would need to sign Joe Johnson as well at SG and then find a serviceable C.

    I think Chicago can sign 2 FA, but I could be wrong.

    Well considering JJ isn't going to get anywhere near what he could have got now, I think any of the teams could sign him and a max deal player. I know some people don't think his performance in the last series against Orlando won't hurt him, but it will. And it will hurt him pretty good in terms of money

    I think it will be the Clippers or Nets.

    I can't see Lebron going to Chicago and having to live in the lime light of Jordan's career. Additionally, Noah and Lebron don't get along and neither do Rose & Lebron

    if the nets get the 1st pick (and assuming it's wall) that's the team that makes sense for LBJ. Lopez, Harris, Wall, that's a fun team I'm telling you now.

    It really is.

    Wall, LeBron and Lopez--that's a three headed monster for years to come. I doubt they'd keep Harris if they got LeBron, but maybe he could move to the 2, probably a more natural spot anyways.

    I say Knicks. Because not only would they have enough space to sign someone like Chris Bosh as well, but there is rumors about getting Tony Parker as well.

    He and Joe Johnson in Atlanta would be special.

    Could that happen financially? Because you're going to have to pay LeBron the max--maybe not the max, long term contract, but the most money. I'd imagine the Hawks would offer Johnson a max and I don't think they have that much money to spend. No way you sign Johnson to a smaller deal with the hope that LeBron will then sign there.

    I think Johnson is gone, and he needs to be. Time for him to move on and see if he can get further than the 2nd round with a different team. What the Hawks have is nice, they just aren't set up to win in the playoffs. Horford is a good player, but they don't have near enough beef to get it done underneath. And Josh Smith is the biggest pansy in the league, he doesn't just take a few plays off a game. He takes half the game off. If that boy would just commit himself to being great he would be great, but I'm not sure he has it in him at this point.

    I dont think Lebron would fit right with a true PG.. Somebody like Rose or Deron Williams, yes because they are scorers. But not somebody who actually facilitates the ball like CP or Parker. Especially considering the fact Lebron takes the ball down the court a lot of the time and runs the offense through him a lot of the time.

    You've never seen him play with a true PG, so it's kind of unknown. The offense would still run through him, but he'd play off the ball A LOT more with CP3 and may very well be much more effective.

    We have a PG who is a scorer right now, not a true PG. We've seen major evidence of that in the postseason's that Mo has been a part of.

    Sign and trade involving Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest to the Lakers.

    Only if they include Morrison.

    There are a lot of teams that would be really good. The Bulls, Clippers, Heat, and Nets make sense from a competitive standpoint. The Knicks could also make sense depending on who else they brought over.

    What happen to all of those who were saying no way is he ever going to leave?
