What if we traded LeBron to the Suns 

Post#1 » by loveshaq786 » Sat Dec 4, 2021 5:21 pm

I think if there was any trade that we can with LeBron, that would work with us getting an amazing amount of value, while he is happy with the trade

LeBron, melo and CP3 have always wanted to play together

I think LeBron, melo, bazemore, and deandre for ayton and booker can work! They get ticket sales and CP3 land LeBron has a better chance than cp3 and booker.

I would look into Westbrook for Simmons... Than look into Simmons, THT for Tatum ... Which will allow jaylen to blossom. If that doesn't work, try to get heild and Barnes for westy and Anthony Davis for Tatum.

We can still compete and get a young squad with Booker and Tatum!!!

Lebron might want to play with CP3 but I dont think the Suns are willing to trade their promising future for those old guys.

You do realize the type of bad PR that will come about with that trade right? LeBron is staying for the remainder of his contract and he'll go where ever Bronny gets drafted.

Lakers are not stupid to trade LBJ right after he won the franchise a ring and put them back on the map.

Morey isn't going to trade for Westbrook again and Celtics will never do a trade with us.

Lock this up...

That's not how it would go. CP3 will talk to the management about potentially trading for LeBron and how it would more than likely guarantee their championship ring and Ensure the highest ticket sales and jersey sales they have ever seen. And instantly make the team more valuable, especially with the team owner in some hot water. In case of a sale this would ensure the most money for him. CP3 gets to play with melo and LeBron, while playing with another familiar center in DeAndre while already having McGee there.

Lakers publicly say that this is something that came up that LeBron wanted. A chance to play with his best friends before retiring. That's not bad PR at all if it goes down that way, that the sun's initiated the talks.

Weren't the Suns just on a 18 game win streak? Why would they break up the roster? They are tied with the Warriors with the best record in the league... Nobody is going to give up significant assets for anybody on this Lakers roster... You're basically looking at this with only the Lakers benefitting. That's not how the league works, not how the salary cap works. Not sure if you've been a Laker fan for a while, but you should already know teams won't help the Lakers succeed...

We are not trading Lebron unless he wants to get traded/ unless we are committed to a full rebuild in which we are willing to trade AD as well. It's just simply not happening for so many reasons, and would be a terrible move to consider for both basketball and non-basketball also for so many reasons.
