Lebron a blazer?

Not only am I uninterested in getting Lebron (we are going to have a fantastic team, just let it develop), I am not a fan of the trade you proposed. What makes our team so strong now is its depth, and you’re effectively eliminating it with one trade. That just doesn’t sit well with me. In my opinion,let Lebron languish on the Knicks, nets or some other terrible Eastern Conference team while the Blazers dominate the West.

(1) He opts out of his contract, becomes an unrestricted free agent, and signs with Portland.

(2) Greg Oden—and that’s only if he is the beast we all expect him to be and has no more injury or health issues.

Everything the pundits have written about LeBron leaving the Cavs has him going either to the Knicks or Nets. There’s been no mention of the Blazers in those discussions.

Assuming GO does stay healthy, I wouldn’t trade him for LeBron. He’s much funnier.

Lebron, though, would probably love playing along side Roy and GO

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Getting LBJ without giving up Roy or Oden? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

ha.

ha.

ha.

he talks about himself in the third person. He’s about marketing and dollars. I personally who we take that self involved pimple of a man and smash him like the gigantic zit he is.

No. No. A million times… no.

don’t want him.

Revolves around being the MAN in Brooklyn and livin it up with Jay-Z. It’s all about being king for him. Mark my words, when that stadium gets built Lebron will be opening it.

the way it is, using the players that KP has chosen for many very good reasons. Adding Lebron would completely destroy the whole thing.

He has the potential to be the best basketball player in the history of the NBA. I mean it’s crazy to think of what he’s already accomplished at the age of 23!

If we could get him and still keep Roy and Oden, I would do it. I don’t think hew wants to play here though, so it’s a moot point.

As to how Lebron would play with a stacked team? I mean lets face it, the Cleveland Lebrons don’t really have anyone who could take away from his do everything game.

I’m not saying he isn’t as great as he is but how good would he really play alongside a Roy, or LMA or Oden? The guy plays best when he has to be the one doing it all, which he wouldn’t be for 99% of the games on a team like ours.

I love watching him play and would be pretty happy to see him in a Blazer uniform (as long as we didn’t give up someone important) but I really don’t think we’d see the same Lebron here as we do in Cleveland.

Finally someone brings up a trade for a player I want.

that KP was targeting an impact free-agent around the time LeBron’s contract expires, I’ve had a persistent feeling - delusion, if you prefer - that LeBron is the guy. If KP were to pull that off, he’d have exec of the year sewn up for the next decade.

Speaking of exec of the year, when is KP going to win it?

No, it isn’t gonna happen :)

James had little interest in directly addressing his free-agent options in 2010, but he didn’t blink when asked about it in a different way: “LeBron, what are your favorite cities?”

“My favorite cities are New York; Washington, D.C.; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, Calif., and Akron, Ohio,” he said.

A week later, when asked to name his favorite city he said: "New York." Favorite borough? "Brooklyn," James said. "Brooklyn is definitely a great place here in New York City, and some of my best friends are from Brooklyn, so I stick up for them."

If winning a title is the most important thing for him, why would he want to go to New York, knowing that the Knicks won’t have that many pieces around him (so he would basically have the same situation as in Cleveland, only in his favorite city). New Jersey might be in a better position by 2010, but not hugely better. He will still have to carry the team on his broad shoulders a lot of times. And probably he likes it that way.

Lebron is the best player in the nba.

If Lebron doesn’t go to the Nets or Knicks, he’s staying in Cleveland.

that would be really weird, because I’d be a city. Rimshot!

But seriously, the Cavs will know by the 2010 trading deadline whether LeBron is staying or going. If he is going, they won’t feel inclined to let him walk for nothing, nor to agree to trade him to a team like the Knicks or Nets that will have few if any players they will want in return.

Also, if LeBron wants to leave the Cavs, he won’t want them to trade him to a team that must gut itself to get him, aka The Kobe Dilemma. He wants his new team to have at least one star he can play with.

I can think of one team that in February, 2010 will have so many young, cheap, and talented players that both the Cavs and LeBron would be pleased with the result of a trade. The Blazers could trade, for example, LMA, Roy, and Outlaw to the Cavs for LeBron. That would provide them with an instant core and make them contenders in the Eastern Conference. LeBron would go to a team that features Oden, Rudy, and Bayless, and the Blazers would be a powerhouse in the West.

This deal doesn’t get done if the Cavs are greedy, or if KP thinks the LeBron Blazers would not be better than the LMA & Roy Blazers, or if LeBron cares more about being in New York than he does about winning a title.

............................... Because he’s going to NYC otherwise.

You’d have to take the leap of faith that dishing out fabulous prizes for a rent-a-player was worth it, in terms of being able to possibly resign the man.

He’s not gonna want to be a Blazer, but the time to deal for someone is NOW.
