Y'ALL WE HAVE MADE IT

 

Sure.

I just don't see it. And it's even more laughable that'd he go to the West when the road to the championship is 10x harder than the East - where he has had a cakewalk to the finals for 7 straight years. AND the Lakers are obviously rebuilding, so with him turning 34 during the 18-19 season, I don't see him going to a team that needs a year or two to figure it out. It's not like him going to MIA when he was 25 or returning to Cleveland when he was 30 (not to mention - he had other proven all-stars on those teams with him).

Plus, will he really want to burn bridges with Cleveland a second time? When he's already treated like a literal king here? I get that he 'fulfilled his promise' to deliver championship, but he'd without a doubt receive a ton of backlash again if he were to leave.

 

Bookmarked for next year.

 

Keep in mind, IF the Cavs lose in the Finals AND LeBron bolts, I doubt anyone anywhere ever hears from me ever again.

 

Same here.

 

Freakin Kendrick Perkins.

 

Anybody used a Smart DNS service for League Pass? Strongly considering it because I don't have cable and the Nuggets games are on a network that doesn't have any other apps to stream. Just wondering if it will actually work before I pay for League Pass lol

 

I think Lebron probably leaves but idk why everyone is so set on him going to the Lakers because that seems very dumb unless another star goes

 

LeBron to the Spurs. I only say this bc he loves Coach Pop.

 

Lebron to the Clips

 

Rockets begin their championship run tomorrow

pretty neat

 

Depending on what you're using to watch, I've been able to get around LP restrictions with a simple VPN. So, that should work ... I've never tried a DNS option via like a router or something so I can watch on my Apple TV. But I have used a VPN on my iPad and watched local games a few times. (And I used Sling TV to watch to watch ESPN games last year with a free trial that worked well.)

 

Wait what does he get if he's right and LeBron stays?

 

He gets to keep watching Lebron on his team

 

One of the best players of all time on his team ... haha.

 

I'd be using my Apple TV. I just googled using a VPN to avoid League Pass restrictions and found a Simple DNS might be a better option for me since i'm only trying to get Nuggets games. I was looking at this one How to Setup Apple TV

 

That should work in theory!

 

Here's another thing to consider about LeBrons free agency. In 2010 and 2014, teams were willing to move mountains to get him. Rightfully so. In 2018 will teams be willing to do the same for a 34-year old LeBron in his 16th year? Might be nice for a year or two but after that? It could be a gamble.

 

Nah you still do it for Lebron

 

Honestly, I don't see that many great options for LeBron outside of Cleveland right now, but there's a lot on each side. Outside of here, it's just where some of the big FA names will go. Within Cleveland, I think they have a solid team around him, but it's just dependent on how they look and options for that Nets 1st. Ultimately, this could even be above 2014 with a solid PG (IT), solid post (Love + TT) and a high profile prospect to join and learn under LeBron.

We'll see. I hate pondering it now because nothing really matters until June.

 

Another thing is, in 2010 when LBJ left, he couldn't get free agents to join him in Cleveland. Now he can.

 

I had a feeling the Bulls would’ve picked him up.

 

Lebron and Wade going back to Miami

 

All of them. Haha.

 

Just trying to soften the blow IF he leaves...
