Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
[QUOTE=Showtime]Like who? There's not that many post threats these days. Who are the PF's that Lebron can't handle?[/QUOTE]
I'd love to see Garnett back him down and score every time in the ECF or Gasol/Duncan in the Finals.
This wouldn't work, they'd put Villanueva at the PF and unless he really sucks, they'd try LeBron.
You want LeBron to guard elite PFs AND run around the court on the offensive side and create plays for everyone?

i'd like to see that.
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
[QUOTE=D-Rose]LeBron would not be able to guard a skilled PF that is 7 ft or close like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Dirk, etc.[/QUOTE]
He can guard Dirk. He already proved it.
And he wouldn't need to guard Duncan, Shaq and Z will do that. He can guard Bonner or Kurt Thomas, or even Sheed if they sign him.
But Pau and KG would be problematic, but at least it's a better option than having CV guarding those guys ...
If we can get a solid wing player, maybe with a sign-and-trade for Varejao, I wouldn't mind LeBron playing the 4.
It worked with Orlando and Rashard Lewis.
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
FINALLY!!
all this time i asked why doesn't lebron play as a PF when he has the talent and body
all hail the greatest PF in history!!:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
The only reason that I could see Bron playing PF is if we got Ron Artest with the MLE.
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
Kleiza would be a nice fit
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
We'll see, it should be interesting how it would work on the court.
Doubt the Cavs do it though.

He's the same size as Prime Karl Malone, and LeBron is a better athlete than the Mailman.

LeBron is 6'8 250.

Don't believe everything that's listed on NBA.com. Do you still believe that Dwight Howard is a legit 6'11"?
Howard is only an inch taller than LeBron.

He said he was 6'9. Nobody knows how much he weighs though. For some reason he's keeping it secret.

The Best Center in the NBA meets the Future Best PF in the League.

Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
Honestly I think this is just a trick, they are trying to get Varejao for a lower price by signaling that they don't really need him. Oldest trick in the book.
Lebron may play some PF at time, he did this year as well, but he won't be a fulltime starter at PF, not going to happen.
Fun to think that he started his career at PG though.

[QUOTE=Mikaiel]He said he was 6'9. Nobody knows how much he weighs though. For some reason he's keeping it secret.[/QUOTE]
He said he's like 260.
And for those Dwight-LeBron pics, in the first pic Dwight is clearly standing behind LeBron. Why not look at the team USA group pic where they are standing from tallest to shortest? Clearly Dwight is taller.

Even if LeBron plays the PF I don't see him playing offense that much more differently than he does now.
