F James / 1st rd pick
F Porter / Oubre
C Mahinmi / FA
G Beal / FA
G Wall / Satoransky

Sign a couple of ring chasers and Golden State has a legitimate challenger.
Make it two first round picks if you have to to get LeBron

CCJ -- I know one of the guys who invented Siri. Old friend for @ 20 years, & a great guy. Yet, I had no idea where the name "Siri" came from. In fact... I kinda doubt your rendition. I think it may have come from SRI, where the core technologies were first developed (with funding from DARPA).

You can tell LeBron that if he signs w/ us for the vet minimum, along with Cousins, I'll introduce him to some of these tech guys.

That introduction should put us over the top.

The crazy thing is that if LeBron became a Wizard the team wins 60 games.

I think he's going to stay with Cleveland. He is going to love playing with Nance and Clarkson.

The Cavaliers will probably draft Trae Young or Jaren Jackson.

Is LeBron signing for the MLE impossible(I won't call it likely)? I think the LeBron brand might be more important than his NBA salary. Be willing to play for a season or two at the MLE would mean he can basically pick his contender.

If the Cavs gel this year(and make the finals) I think there is a decent chance he stays(at least for a couple years). If he leaves he is looking to win a championship on a 3rd team. I don't see Toronto being that appealing(might as well stay in Cleveland). Boston would be an easier path, but I don't know how much being one of many Boston stars to win a championship helps his brand. I think the Clippers might have been a similar story before they committed to the rebuild. Houston might be the situation closest to Miami in that he, Harden and Paul would be a similar "in prime" big-3.

If LeBron leaves and wants Max money, I think he looks at the LA Lakers and Sixers. I think in that scenario he is looking for young stars and hoping to pass the torch and win a few championships over a 5 year window.

Return to Washington Wizards
