The Lakers would probably be a top 4 team in the West if they placed just as much effort against every opponent as they do against contenders.

The Jazz are really getting smoked by Maxey. They have to beat the Sixers at home.

If I'm Cleveland I'm moving either Mobley or Allen for a legit 3/4 wing before the deadline.

Embiid is the Chris Paul of the centers.

Don't worry about them they'll fall to 6th or even lower eventually

If Lebron forces his way to NY…

Mitch, Fournier, Grimes, Archi and NYK 2024 1st, WAS Protected 1st ought to get it done. The question is would it be better to keep Mitch and Grimes and send Randle instead?

I really don't want Lebron anywhere near the Knicks. The guy spurned us twice and he wants to jump on our bandwagon now that we are relevant? Let him rot the rest of his career with his buddies over there in LA!

I dunno man… if he helps bring a title or two to NY, I can forgive the past. Also, our franchise was a joke in the past… let’s be real. I don’t blame anyone for staying away from Dolan and Isiah etc

So what you slot him in at SG with Randle, OG, and Brunson? I mean, Dolan would intervene to give up absolutely anything and everything to make it happen, but other than that IDK if there's a fit here.

Also, F that guy.

I would send Randle and Fournier for him. No picks. Or at most the WAS protected 1st. This way we slot him in at SF next to OG at PF. We surround Lebron with multiple 40% 3pt shooters (OG, Brunson, DDV, Grimes, and McBride) and plenty of rim runners and hustle guys who can D it up.

Lebron wants one more as badly as anyone. This would be his best shot. It would be an incredible story and I wouldn’t be that sad to see Randle go to a decent team that would embrace him (Lakers).

Lebron could run the bench squad for 10-15 mins a game while Brunson still closes games.

I think breaking up Garland and Mitchell is more important. They'd be a decent destination for Kuzma.

I do not think he'd bring a title to NY. He is only going to decline from here on out. Plus, he'd clash with Rose and Thibs since he likes to be both the coach and GM wherever he's at. Thibs also likes to play guys everyday, Lebron is a load management player who has to be rested every two or three days.

And despite what reporters have mentioned in the past about Lebron not coming here because of Dolan, I do not think he rejected the Knicks because of our front office. He just wanted the easiest path to a title. If playing under Dolan was so bad Amar'e and Melo would have never came to NY.
