LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

.... and we have all agreed that much/pretty much most of that time, granted probably not all of it, early on one or the other of Luka or AR was out, so when the one who wasn't out went to the bench with JJ's best attempts at the rotations, he had to take over on ball duties up top.

 

I think from a production point of view, Lebron is at an all NBA level in the playoffs. I keep him around as long as he wants. Even in 3 years, he’ll be an elite Horford.

It’s just the price point. 20-25m is nothing for this kind of player and if he retires we haven’t lost a meaningful salary slot like abeer and others are worried about. (Because the MLE will fill most of it)

 

I've never been a LBJ fan

But he has earned my respect for the hard work he has put in to stay in playing shape

What he's doing at this age is amazing

Now about taking that discount so we can build another championship team around him....

 

Lebron's probably 75% of what he was, when we first got him. That's still amazing at 41 years old, but if he plays over 30 minutes in the playoffs, he's going to be gassed, and running on fumes in the 4th quarter.

 

I feel pretty confident if Luka was playing, LeBron can play 30+ minutes of great basketball.

 

I’m no LeBron fan either, but the dude has been mostly amazing this post season while not having Luka around.
