Lebron Landing Place
527 sats \ 22 comments \ @Undisciplined 30 Jun Stacker_Sports
Supposedly LeBron is on the trade block. He would only plausibly go to a contender. I’ve identified four trade candidates, based on fit and trade pieces.
Where will LeBron be playing next season?
Lakers15.4%
Cavs30.8%
T-Wolves 15.4%
Nuggets 7.7%
Mavs23.1%
Other 7.7%

LeBron will be playing in LA. If he wanted to move, he could have not taken the money and renegotiate the contract or go test the market. The fact that he took he money shows he wants the money more than an extra ring.
Lakers could try to trade him, but no sane team is going to take a $52.6M 1 year contract with a 40 year old guy that could announce his retirement any moment. Think of the amount of assets the team needs to give up in order to take this 1 year contract. Also, LeBron has a no trade clause, which means he also gets to dictate which players the destination team he wants remaining for him to play with. I think a trade like that would be just too difficult to conduct.
LeBron will play out his contract, and maybe he will sign a short term deal with the Cavs as a free agent so he can retire as a Cav. The salary that got freed from his departure will be used to build an awesome team around Luka, with whom Luka will finally win his first championship and bring yet another chip to the Lakers.

Perhaps no sane team would do, but the Mavs are on the list and they already have two of LeBron’s Robins.

True, and I would definitely categorize the Mavs as an insane team, because no sane team would trade away Luka.

He’s probably going to a team with a GM.

We have a GM. We just don’t have a President that tells the GM what to do.

Why would you need one when your owner does that? Seems redundant.

Trading for old Lebron seems like something a meddlesome owner might like to do.

How does this tie back in to him accepting the player option?

He couldn’t be traded before opting in.

The two teams will have swapped most of the key pieces of their rosters.

I think it’ll be Mavs for an AD and Kyrie reunion

They can get him for Klay, Gafford, and Washington, at least from a salary standpoint.
It makes a ton of sense.
AD LeBron Flagg Someone Kyrie
