Kyrie/IT trade - Is Lebron more likely to leave?

[MelosSoreWrist]

Why would LeBron leave the east where he only has one real threat to deal with and go to to the west and be no better than the thunder and rockets? Cleveland can use the pick and package that with Love or TT for another centerpiece. Unless LeBron is simply tired of making finals appearances and wants to get washed in the second round instead going to LA would be stupid. Ingram will never be as good as Kevin Love and doubt Lonzo will ever be Kyrie or have a season like what IT just had.

Lakers will have 2 max slots. PG is better than Kyrie or Love and is a great matchup against the Warriors. Stylistically Lonzo fits well with LeBron and PG, better than Kyrie would. Depending on Ingrams development by the end of his third season, you got a lineup that can potentially match Warriors on both ends. It'd be nice if LBJ and George left room for a quality vet though.

Pretty awesome for a random to come in here and say Ingram will never be as good as K Love.

Speaking in such definitives is laughable... In two or three years IF Ingram steps up and becomes the player Laker fans are hoping will this clown be back in here admitting he was wrong? Doubtful!

Ingram has K Love's talent. The only thing remaining to be seen is if he can get his body ready for the everyday NBA grind. Personally I'd be disappointed if Ingram doesn't develop into a player who's better than K Love's current iteration in Cleveland.

if the deal is off, is bron more likely to go to the lakers as the trade falling through would nix his chance of staying?

If this deal falls through, CLE would have to either re-engage with BOS for another trade, or with another team.
If BOS, I'd think the price for Kyrie would go up, and BOS would now need to add Brown into the package .
If it is with another team, I'd expect CLE to get fleeced because teams now know that CLE is even more desperate than before to trade Kyrie after this fiasco.
