Would Lebron/Wade/Bosh agree to split NYK cap space 3 ways? 

Post#1 » by Mezotarkus » Sat May 15, 2010 10:56 am

This seems to me to be the most sensible move for the three of them. They all get to be on the big stage. They get to establish a potential dynasty. Each have seen that a supporting cast of near All Stars is not enough to get a ring. They could each sign 3+1 year deals starting at roughly $12m per. They leave some money on the table but they each have plenty and the sponsorship deals will make up for the difference. I am not even a Knicks fan and I would love to see this happen.

Who are "they" and how do they know it won't happen?

If you are not a knicks fan, why would you love to see this happen? They would most likely be a dynasty and whatever team you like will probably lose to them, so you would like this? lol. In reality, this would probably never happen, it's hard enough to ask one player to sign to a team they wouldn't make the most money, you are asking 3 players to do that. Even with sponsorship, most players would rather take the guranteed money from another team and become the alpha male on their own team. Bosh and lebron is a possible scenerio, if Bosh is convinced by lebron to come with him, but all 3 of them? No way

"They" as in the players themselves. Someone asked this to Lebron about this about a year ago and he laughed it off saying "no-ones ever going to do that". There was a link to an article but I'll be damned if I'm going looking for it.

Excuse my sharpness, but understand we get these propositions every couple of days. It's never going to happen. There's also a 101 cap space thread stickied at the top of the forum.

Too many egos to go around for one team. I think 2 of them teaming up in a little more realistic.

I hate it when people get greedy. We have none right now. We'd be lucky to get one. Two would be perfect. But now you want 3?!?!?! And you want each of them to take pay cuts to make it happen???? Good job!

In the NBA the egos demand that they all make the most possible. It's about $$$ first. The only people that take pay cuts are has beens who would only get more money from a losing team.

You could get 3 max players but not at a reduced salary.

Sign Lebron at Max
Sign Bosh at Max (S&T using TPE)
S&T for Joe Johnson (using Chandler and possibly Walker)

"They" are, not only the players, but ANY PERSON that has ever watched/read about sports. This guy by the name LeBron has been stating how he wants to be a billionaire athlete. I don't know if you've heard of him, or watched this sport called basketball, but he's been saying this for YEARS now.

Not that I think this idea has a snow balls chance in Hell, putting those three on one team would go a long way to getting LeBron that goal, I mean we are talking about a billion dollars here, a few million less a year is not going to male or break that, what will is a string of championship. LeBron is a global brand right now but he isn't the biggest, I think that title belongs to Kobe since he has 2 rings and looks primed for a third. NY is the biggest local market but it's not the biggest in the world, that would most likely be China. That is where LeBron gets a chance to be a billionaire, not from his salary.

None of those guys are going to take a pay cut. One thing about the rich, they always want to be richer.
