Lebron James - What would take to get him?

Alienware · Post #1 » by **Alienware** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 7:49 pm

I know it's never going to happen (not in the foreseeable future at least), but just out of curiosity, who would the Lakers have to give to Miami to have Lebron James talents coming to Hollywood?

My guess is that something along the lines of Pau Gasol + Bynum + Goudelock/Ebanks/Miller + 3 1st round picks for James and some bad contracts would do the job.

Lebron is untradeable. As in, no one would EVER trade him away. Except for maybe Kevin Durant. But that's it

I don't want Lebron in the Lakers. Never. I would rather have Durant.

This, but even if he demanded trade, other teams would have so much more to offer.

The Facebook and Twitter era, where every little thought ends up somewhere on the internet thus eliminating the need to read minds.

I would trade both Pau and Bynum for Lebron. I would love to have Lebron as the next face for the Lakers after Kobe.

Kobe + Bynum + Gasol plus picks and cap relief.

1- riley would not trade lebron for the entire lakers roster right now. he would not even entertain trading him for durant AND westbrook.
2- i could totally see lebron going to LA in two years as a free agent if miami 3peats and kobe retires.

I'd rather die than see LeBron play for the Lakers.

Why so many Lakers fans don't want to see the best basketball player in the world with our jersey?

It's not that LA fans dont want to see LBJ in the Purple and Gold.....It's that we cant believe we are even responding to your post!

You would be better off starting a post about Dwight Howard or Obama on the kiss cam last night!

the best basketball player in the world? HELL NO!!!
Been a purple and gold fan ever since and if that sad day will arrive, then thats the end of me being a fan of the Lakers! I hate queen James, took the easy way out! he only got 1/2 ring coz it was a shortened no training camp, wnba season.

Well, as a hypothetical question this can only go so far because:
A: He's not on the Market
B: Nobody can have any idea what it would take to get him unless he was

LeBron is that rare class of player that would basically have to force his way to LA for us to get him, and since he's in his prime now, and that window if fairly short, it doesn't seem like he'll be a Laker in his prime unless something extremely unforeseen happened...

Which brings us back to "Know body knows." So I think that's as far as this can go...
