why not? Lebron in 2014? 

Post#1 » by Jay81 » Tue Jun 4, 2013 4:04 am

Why not Lebron in 2014?

1) We will have the cap space
2) Could have a great established nucleus of Porter, Wall and Beal who are still very very young
3) He is going to want to leave crumbling Miami most likely with Wade looking closer to retirement

Our only competition is Cleveland. With Mike Brown still the coach there, would Lebron really want to go back. I am not sold that Lebron wants to go back to Cleveland which leaves Washington as an exciting destination for him. 3 young studs and maybe a cheaper Okafor and a healthy Nene. That team could be a dynasty with lebron still playing at a high level.

Make Phil Jackson the GM or Coach/GM..bring Lebron it. I think it works and he would enjoy it

What's a more attractive situation than Washington assuming our big 3 continue to improve. Porter and beal would be perfect fit with lebron with their unselfishness.,name me a better option for lebron. Maybe Cleveland

:evil: :evil: :evil:

LBJ is easily the best player in the league but I just can't root for him to succeed...Which kind of makes me want us to get him, so he can never win again, cause we'd find a way to **** him up. :lol:

The synergy between LeBJ and The Janchise would be off the charts. Throw in Garret Temple, and Walla Walla washington, Terd's got his next big 3 all lined up.

2014?

Isn't that the same year advertisements start appearing on team jerseys?
If thats the case well then I seriously doubt he would want to come here and play.
Wizards jerseys will surely turn into the laughing stock of the league.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

I'd rather our Wizards never win a game for the next 50 years then add that piece of **** to our team.

I never understood why we didn't make a run at LeBron a few years back when we had the cap room. Well, I know why (Leonsis & Grunfeld assumed they didn't have a shot). They were probably right, but we were one of the team's with cap room, I thought it would have been good at the time to send a message to the league that the Wizards were serious about competing.

Jay, take comfort in the fact that they booed the ideas of Capernicus and Galileo, too.
