From Bovada: What team will LeBron James play for Game 1 of the 2018-2019 Season? Pistons @ 10/1

Just for **** and giggles, but they have us 5th (tied with 76ers) in their odds-making. Seems a bit outta nowhere. I guess because we have the ability to trade Drummond and Cleveland is set-up with a hole at center. Also have cheap SF's and throw in contracts in Galloway and Leuer.

Am I crazy to say it wouldn't be worth the trade price? I mean James will turn 34 next season, and not to mention is very likely going to look for his last big pay day with a four year super max offer.

Of course he'd make us immensely better, but I don't want him. There's just some things not worth the price, even if they're awesome. And I'm not talking about money.

I don't like LeBron so I'd pass would be much to difficult to root for us.

[Pugz]

dude is a lifetime talent. hes probably the best ever. but his ego is too much for me, and he does deserve to have an ego - i just dont want that show here.

and i dont want to gut our roster for that.

besides, itll NEVER happen. crazy to be fifth tho

My top three guesses:
1. The Lakers
2. The team that plays at the Staples Center and wears purple and gold uniforms
3. The team Magic Johnson is president of

4. The team that now has the cap space to sign Lebron because the Cavs traded two expiring contracts to them

No chance in he'll LeBron ends up here. None. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

[MrBigShot]

I can't see him going to the Lakers unless Paul George also signs there. He'd be wasting his time.

And yeah, he's not signing here.

[bstein14]

The only way he signs in Detroit is if Gilbert lets him know he'd sell him 51% of the team after his playing days are over at a value of before LeBron signs... Talking 100+ million discount on buying the team.

Lakers, with George and they’ll end up trading Deng & Lonzo in a s&t for Boogie.

Bron
George
Ingram
Kuzma
Boogie

They’ll attack Golden State with ridiculous size and length that can switch everything.

This.

There's no basis for this type of thought.

I can't help but chuckle at the Pistons fans who say they wouldn't want him though.

[buzzkilloton]

0 chance he comes here. We've got no cap space left. That's a fools bet.

[ImHeisenberg]

I'd put our odds at "impossible to 1"

Literally zero incentive for him to play for Detroit. That must have been put there as a joke.

[Laimbeer]

You need to add at least one zero to that 10.

What's the worst thing LeBron has done in his life?

I'm not calling him a criminal or even a bad person. I just don't want the media circus that comes with him, the angst, the passive aggressive complaining, the sublimation of the entire rest of the franchise. I have a learned distaste for him and the team he is on, and it would jarring to have to root for him. Why is that hard to believe?

And the Lakers now just happen to have the cap space to sign two max players.
