LeBron should walk to Phoenix this summer for the vet minimum

Basketball wise it makes sense…wouldn’t have to carry a first or second scoring load, he could operate as the PG that they desperately need, gets to team up with KD, plus it’s not far from LA

Down the hallway to the Clips.

Or Suns, Nuggs, Thunder or TWolves.

Why not just join Denver if he wants to ring chase?

LeBron said his goal is to retire in LA.

He's done chasing titles. That does nothing for him. He's either the GOAT or the runner up. It's really that simple.

Those who keep talking championship just showing you how much they still view LeBron as an elite player.

LeBron is 40 he should be around some younger fresher legs to hide his age. Let the man retire in peace with a young exciting team.

AD is the worst fit for a 40 yr old LeBron.


Call Charlotte get you LaMelo and that top 3 pick. Let LeBron play with some young gunnas!

Just what Phoenix needs. Another player who won’t defend and need the ball in his hands.

I was thinking about best fit. I’m not sure how he’d mesh in a Denver offense that’s centered around Joker and his decision making. Phoenix is a team that’s in desperate need of LeBron in that regard. A guy who can just run the offense, make plays for others, control the tempo of games.

He's way too comfortable in LA. The Lakers need to find a way to bring in a 3rd star but regardless Lebron isn't walking anywhere to take a vet min. He's got too many business ventures based out of LA, not to mention he's angling to get in on the ownership of the future Vegas team.

He will retire a Laker. It's where he wants to be. He already believes he is the GOAT, so I don't expect him to ring chase.

Outside of being able to live in Los Angeles I’m not sure how attractive the Lakers currently are to stars around the league. Not sure too many guys would be intrigued by teaming up with AD and 40 year old Bron
