B: LeBron absolutely loves both Luka and Kyrie. He compliments a lot of players, but he has been far more effusive in his praise of Luka since the moment Luka came into the NBA than any other player. The love is totally mutual, of course, because LeBron was Luka?s idol growing up. These three guys would be beyond thrilled to play together. C: If you have a chance to bring in a top 15 player (which LeBron still is, don?t kid yourself), especially at a low cost, which is what this hypothetical is all about ? you fucking do it. It is absolute malpractice not too. Culture smulture. Don?t forget, bringing in Kyrie was supposed to destroy our culture, and look where we are now.
Again, it?s a moot point because I do not see him signing anywhere at a severe discount. But this idea that LeBron is some selfish, disruptive player that could never accept being anything other than the first option? There?s simply no evidence for that whatsoever. Kobe was like that, but not LeBron. If anything, he has at times been TOO unselfish- namely 2011.

I'm not sure how severe a discount he'd be willing to play for... certainly he's not coming for minimum. But if we get Bronny couldn't we move some dudes around and bring in LBJ? (THJ or even Green?) I think he'd be willing to take some discount to play with his son. Would some team pick Bronny just to have leverage? We don't pick until the end of 2nd and hell i'd take a swing for Lebron at the cost of that pick.
I'd play Lebron at the 4 next to Lively. Gimme PJ too, to go with Luka and Kyrie.
Maybe he doesn't play in every end of game situation. Maybe he doesn't start. How awesome would it be to always have two of Luka, Kyrie, LBJ out there?
