Report/Rumor: LeBron interested in sign-and-trade with L.A. Clippers

Here we go. Hours after learning that LeBron James would enter free agency again, Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski has reported that his camp would be intrigued by a sign-and-trade to the Los Angeles Clippers because of the presence of Chris Paul

But seriously, Lebron is like that dude in 2K just cheesing :oldlol:

[Kidbasketball20]

Would be very stupid of him to go to the West.




Very very very stupid.

[MavsSuperFan]

So stacked

[Rubio2Gasol]

Would Blake be involved?

If so, I don't think it's worth it for the Clippers. Lebron and Paul is not a very good combination. Aside from the potentially deadly combination of choking and disappearance, they're both simply too ball dominant to play with each other.

Why? no one takes winning conference titles seriously, further people even hold losing in the finals against players.

Eg. Jordan is great because he is undefeated in the finals.

You go to the best team possible regardless of conference.

so much flopping, ball stopping, and lazy defense paired with both getting winded on the biggest stage lol

They obviously will keep CP3

95% sure they would keep Griffin

DeAndre would 1000% be gone, as well as JJ Reddick, to clear up the cap space.

[Fork]

Lebron and Paul are both chokers, and two negatives make a positive


Dynasty!

[senelcoolidge]

How would he co-exist with CP3? Lebron likes to hold the ball all the time. Lebron would have to play off the ball. He would probably stunt Blake and DJ's growth too.
Also going out West would make it more competitive and hard for Lebron. We know he likes the easy way. So I see him staying East.

Rubbin it off in many ways. :roll:

Seriously though, What kind of big man presence would LA have left. Blake is too soft to play bigger, and Jordan is too unskilled to not have a good 4 next to him. Congrats man if they pull this off, but I wonder how they compete in a stacked west with a weak front court.

Jordan would have to leave the roster if LeBron came, Jordan's salary is too much for LBJ/Griffin/CP3 to be on the roster. Also, as stated before, most likely JJ Reddick would be gone too.

And Griffin soft? This is still a thought in people's mind?

[Levity]

any idea how much salary cap theyd have left over if they signed lebron to an appropriate contract, but give up DJ and reddick in the process? the reason i ask, is because theyd obviously need to go after a FA C. it doesnt have to be a star caliber C by any means. so maybe okafor for a cheap contract is a possibility.

damn... imagine that team.... (lebron would need to dedicate half his game to playing off the ball, of course. but he certainly can be a beast in that aspect)

[el gringos]

Great idea- worried about a declining star with wade and he wants to play w Paul? If he was smart and wanted to play for the clippers he would look at griffin as piece #1.

True, but the thing is, your best player at the moment is essentally an off the ball version of Lebron, and to be frank, I like him more. He has more desire to dominate.

[Meticode]

Free agency cannot end quick enough this summer. :hammerhead:

[beastee]

I just mean too soft to play Center minutes. Look what it has done to Bosh. that 3 would be deadly though if they can stay healthy.

They'd have 17-18 million to sign LeBron. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Blake plays center when they go with a smaller line up and he does fine for the most part.

I hope the Lakers get Embiid because that will not work at all with teams with scoring centers.

Fortunately for his stans, Wade is all but finished

[Inactive]

I don't like the fit.

If it was just a case of sharing the ball with Paul, they'd be fine. But how is he going to share the ball with Paul, and Blake? If you play Blake at pf, the spacing would suck. If you play Blake at c, the defense would suck. Any team with either Lebron, or Blake is going to great in transition, having both doesn't help that much. It seems like it would be an even worse than Lebron and Wade.

If they trade Blake in the deal, then maybe it could work, depending on what they get back.

[KyleKong]

DeAndre in the East would put up Shaq numbers.

[Real Men Wear Green]

They obviously will keep CP3

95% sure they would keep Griffin

DeAndre would 1000% be gone, as well as JJ Reddick, to clear up the cap space.
If the Heat can't get Griffin or Paul they shouldn't facilitate his departure. LeBron James for DeAndre Jordan would be the most lopsided deal in NBA history.

[Darius]

While Lebron would make any team better it's not the ideal fit.

CP3/Blake & LBJ are all playmakers that are better with the ball in hand

[Derka]

In Woj We Trust...but even he admits its just a rumor.

I still won't really believe any of the rumors and MULTIPLE SAUCES that will be fighting each other for attention these next few days until I see what Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh do.

Then let them. Heat would be wanting to rebuild in a few years anyway, might as well lose James for luxury tax relief. With Wade's knee problems he can't carry a champion contender anymore, they'd have a playoff team that couldn't win the EC until Wade retired and/or him and Bosh beome free agents.

Doc Rivers made Rondo Pierce Allen and KG work, with intelligent stars like James Blake and Paul they would figure it out. The offense and overall athleticism would be awesome. But it's not going to happen because Riley is not going to be an active participant in his own rape.

Bruh I've laughed a solid 5 minutes at this :oldlol:

[JT123]

If the sign and trade involved Blake Griffin then this wouldn't be worth it. Playing for the Clippers would only be a good move if both Blake and CP3 could be his teammates.

[Kukoc]

That would just cement his legacy as a ring ridder and ring chaser.

But I honestly dont think it will happen.

He will sign with Miami or Cleveland

[BoutPractice]

Not going to happen.

Most likely scenarios imo:
- Miami either fixes its roster or adds a new star like Melo, LeBron stays
- LeBron forms a Big 3 in Cleveland, for instance LeBron, Kyrie and Love

[russwest0]

so if lebrons first option are the clippers and his second is miami, then why in the world would miami agree to sign and trade him?

True, but who knows.

If LeBron wants to go to L.A., Doc Rivers will moves mountains to make it happen.

that's not how the NBA works though, if lebron flat out tells the other teams he will not sign with them then they won't offer shit.

Lebron couldn't go to LA without the help of the Heat. No way the Heat actually facilitate this trade.

[Levity]

Im sure there are other teams out there that would offer better than jordan/reddick. Remeber when melo was traded to ny?! Yea...it'll have to be something like that

didnt melo have 1 year left on his contract prior to the trade? lebron opted out, so hes a free agent. the only reason for a S/T is so he can get max money from the clippers since they are either over the cap/bordering it. at least, i think thats correct.

[DonDadda59]

Why would he leave a team that made 4 straight finals appearances, that plays in the joke Eastern Conference for a squad that barely squeaked by the first round in the West?

With the Spurs looming, they wouldn't even make it out of the conference.

And a lineup of

Jordan
Bosh
Beasley?
Wade
Chalmers

Bench: Cole, Reddick, etc

Is good enough to come out of the East if everyone is relatively healthy.

Agreed. Bosh slides to the PF spot and takes on a new role, Beasley gets to create more, they become better defensively and on the glass, Reddick becomes a better version of Ray Allen.

That team can absolutely get out of the East if healthy.

[Chrono90]

Lebron will have to adjust his role if he plays with Chris Paul. Unless Paul doesn't want to play PG anymore and become a role player.

Yeah, I don't see that working out smoothly for the Clippers in this scenario. Paul is the primary ballhandler/playmaker. LeBron is terrible off the ball- he usually just stands in the corner waiting for the ball to get back to him. It could get to the point of Kobe/Nash where Bron tries to turn CP3 into yet another glorified spot up shooter. Hope Blake works on his 3 point shot too.

Wade is never healthy. The Heat are resting him almost 30 games a year and he still can't give consistent performance come playoff time. This is two straight Finals he's been a nonfactor.

If the postseason is any indicator Spoelstra thinks Beasley is useless.

What the Heat would be is a team with a rich man's Bargnani (Bosh), good interior Dand an SG that on any given night gives you 16-26, with the number staying closer to the low end as the season progresses. Indiana, Washington and Chicago (with or without Melo) would handle them in a series.

I called them the AARP all stars, get it right. And I don't see Paul and Griffin being happy with being turned into spot up 3 point shooters. I don't think those pieces fit well together and defensively, they'd be just plain awful... especially without DeAndre.

How the hell does jumping ship to various pre-stacked teams help establish him as being the so called "best basketball player in the world"?

He is by default with Durant's lackluster performance in the playoffs, but this just screams "I want it the easy way!" like a true beta. Magic, Bird, Jordan, Kobe, and Duncan never did stuff ike this, and even though they may have come close at times they will be remembered more fondly for being winners AND lifers on the same team (Jordan's Wizards years don't really count). I mean, even DIRK never did this when he was choking against the Heat and the Warriors and staying on the Mavs eventually paid off for him!

Leaving to make another big three with Paul and Blake after ONE loss would really look bad for LeBron. Did Stockton and Malone join the Bulls after losing to them? Did Barkley? Did Reggie join Shaq's Lakers after losing to them in the Finals? Or Iverson? Did MJ sign with the Bad Boy Pistons after losing to them every year?

No! This is why people make the joke that if LBJ was in Space Jam, he would have joined the Monstars instead of rallying the Looney Tunes to a win.

If LeBron jumps ship again it will solidify him as GOAT. He would basically be showing us, that he can get along in different teams, with different systems. He doesnt mind leaving the weaker East to play in the West, he is always up for new challenges by joining different teams and trying to win championships. IMO this is easily GOAT material, taking the hard way each time just to win.

Clippers need to look towards acquiring a small forward that is a 3&D type. Swapping Blake for Bron isn't going to thrust us into the next level. Plus, CP and Bron both need the ball to be effective.

Jordan/Anderson

Looks like a serious threat to make the finals out east

L.A. states they will not be putting Griffin on the trade block.

Well, yeah. That much was a given.

Even if LeBron is LeBron, there was no feasible way I saw Rivers/Sacks giving up Blake to acquire him.

Jordan, Bullock, Willie (Not Guaranteed), Reddick and #28 is what may have to be given up, and I'm fine with that, though I think Reggie is oozing with potential to be a perfect 3&D guy.

A heat team comprised of

Chalmers/Cole
Wade/Reddick
Melo/Dudley?
Bosh/free agent
Jordan/Anderson

The East is so trash minus Miami it's not even funny :oldlol:

Jordan 100% for sure a goner.

Also Reddick because Pat Riley would demand a pure shooter to replace Wade's minutes.

Throw in a couple of draft picks over the next few years, could see that happening.

Riley might prefer the cap from Jamal's non-guaranteed over JJ, which is just as fine by me.

This Lebron guy has no shame. Leaving the team when things gets rough. Cooking for another asterisks.

I would hate to lose Crawford, he is our only real scoring threat off the bench. Maybe if Granger continues to get more healthy he can be moved up to 6th man minutes, but that is probably unlikely.

That's not fair, Jordan couldn't fit Scottie Pippen's massively larger trouser snake in his mouth.

[COnDEMnED]

I would believe this rumor if Lebron hadn't made such a big stink about Donald Sterling. He is still fighting to keep his team, therefore, Lebron isn't coming to the Clippers. It's nice to dream though.

[Angel Face]

That's not fair, Jordan couldn't fit Scottie Pippen's massively larger trouser snake in his mouth.

As if Pippen was already a star coming in to the league. The dude was riding the bench in his rookie years.

[ArbitraryWater]

If we can pull this off without giving up BG, I might have to hop on the Bran bandwagon.

:roll:

:bowdown:

bro the transformation is almost done :pimp:

Soon, the Clips will reign

So Kobe isn't considered a star who helped Shaq?

lebron is a loser and lack of heart & afraid challenge :oldlol:

[Angel Face]

Kobe's riding the bench in his early years in the NBA, he was voted all-star because of the hype that surrounds him. He wasn't a legit superstar until 2001.

Not sure if I believe this at all.

Heat, Cavs, hell in the Rockets, sure.

No way in fvcking hell LeBron would ever want to be on the same team as Paul and KG

Why would Lebron want to go to the Nets :biggums:

And he definitely doesn't want to be in the same team as KG and Paul

[TheMarkMadsen]

He's going to stay with the heat.

[KyleKong]

Or the Knicks, especially with Melo and Tyson leaving :oldlol:

I think his interests, in order are;

- Miami - depending on what Riley does this off season

- Cavs - only because it's LeBron, who knows what goes on in his head

- Clippers - could jump to the #1 choice depending on the Sterling law suits

- Rockets - James and Howard are pretty close friends and the Rockets have the most to offer right now, talent wise, at least, if they can clear the cap space

[KyleKong]

He's going to stay with the heat.

Sure is the favorite, even if Riley doesn't make any huge moves to 're-tool' as he said.

[Mass Debator]

If this happens, there needs to be a 3 team trade with Melo going to Miami.

The new rule of thumb is that all 2008-2014 USA Olympic players must have at least one fellow Olympian teammate.

Kevin Love to Houston with Dwight Howard. Chris Bosh to L.A. with Kobe.

[Fork]

It's either Miami, Houston, or LAC

You can never really rule out the Cavs, just because it's LeBron were talking about.

this.

Max contract my butthole.

LeBron just come to LAC already you fvck

[Droid101]

Riley would never do that. He'd let bran walk first.

[EllEffEll]

Could they sign him to a Max and then trade him?

If so, that would be great for LeBron. Get a Max and go to a different team that couldn't give him as much as a FA. Of course he'd like that (IF he wanted to truly go to the Clippers as they would be constituted after such a trade).

I'm thinking this is LBJ negotiating with Riley through the press. It looks like LBJ is ready to be paid.

[NumberSix]

LeBron is literally not even taking phone calls from teams. I don't see exactly where these reports are coming from.
