Right lebron is better than Butler and Butler is on a multi year max he's better than durant and steph and better than fox lavine all players on or near max contracts he is a lot better than harden who will earn around 40 something mil a year.. To go join gsw on a mid level we they aren't even contenders is ridiculous maybe if they had gotten giannis

Best chance for Lebron to win and stay close to family and play with his sons is take $20 million salary and becomes 6th man but finishes the game.

Getting back in the limelight/press and crafting a good narrative/image IS important to LeBron.

Not only from an Ego POV, which is clearly in play here....but from a Financial POV as well. He needs to sell a documentary on himself soon. He's going to want to continue to leverage his fame/legacy after he's done to maintain this money making machine he's constructed over his career.

Right now, nobody cares about LeBron. He is not relevant in the overall NBA conversation.

Put him on a contender. Have him drop 30/8/8 in a big deep playoff game, at his age, and it gets him back to where he needs to be.

Especially if he's on the Warriors. Him, Steph, Draymond, Jimmy, Kerr..........might not get you a championship but he'll live in the headlines and people will eat it up

If LeBron wants to stay in the West, the best option is Denver. If he wants to go to the east, the best option will likely be wherever Giannis lands. The warriors make absolutely no sense, along with the Lakers or Cavs.

It's not because that is what they think he is worth. It's because that is all they have to offer. Lebron doesn't need the money, so it really comes down to where he wants to spend the next 82+ games of his career.

Lebron should explore signing with the Spurs, his veteran leadership will help them. He will fit right in, to me, this is his best chance to win another ring.

Those who don't like him will say negatives things about this.
Those who love him will welcome the chance to see him go out on top.

LeBron has not been better than Curry KD for the last 5 years average and close with Butler and Harden, using any advanced stat like EPM BPM on-off differential etc, despite a way better team than Curry's team of 1st 2nd year players and D leaguers. Marketing is hella drug. LeBron is only better than Fox and oh boy Lavine.

He absolutely should join the spurs.. they need his play making they need his veteran leadership and they need a big body at the 4.. He fills a lot of what they need if they could get LeBron on foxs deal for 2 years and get off fox that would work great for the spurs..

Lebron played KD this year and KD was on the favourite yes it was one game but we saw what happened to KD he crumbled under pressure where as Lebron didnt made the necessary passes Lebron everyday of his life has been better than KD.. As for Steph please Steph couldnt even get out of the playin when Steph and Lebron played in the playin Lebron hit a 3 in stephs face and sent him to the next playin game which Steph also lost which has helped gsw get some higher picks but hasn't really helped them much.. Lebron is better than Steph always has been and is even now.. LeBron lead the lakers past the rockets as heavy underdog switching from 3rd option to 1st option and this does not show in the stats with Lebron playing different roles.. He is still better Butler Steph and KD.. Steph doesn't even make the playoffs most of the time and Lebron last season was 6th in mvp voting acting like Steph was better is ridiculous..

And I am like sure he could consider it if they were contenders but they arent steph and butlet and dray aint good enough to be contenders if they had gotten giannis maybe

I think Giannis would have to be in exchange for Draymond. Two PF/C that don't space the floor is less than ideal. I agree that GSW wouldn't contend, but KP/Lebron/Butler/Podz/Steph is a nasty starting 5 with Draymond coming off the bench.
