You guys are killing it with the Lebron trade talk. I love it. My 2cents.
A Lebron trade would never happen. The only way it happens, if Lebron wants it. Remember this is a player's league. And he's the top dog. If we wants to get traded he will, and it will be to whatever team he wants.
The return will ONLY be players he doesn't care to play with. So Lively being one of the outgoing is a negative. This would truly be salary matching and draft picks. Lebron is basically his own GM. He would be sitting in Pelinka's office on speaker phone with Nico and Cuban ironing out the trade details. That's how powerful he is.
With that said, if he wants a trade. i believe Dallas would be in the top 2 or 3 teams he'd want to go to. He only asks to be traded if he sees a championship. Lebron on this team is an instant championship team. I think the trade would be Hardaway, GWill, Holmes, Hardy for Lebron and either Hayes or Reddish. With our picks involved also.
In my opinion, Golden State is probably the leader in this field. They have larger contracts they can send out (Wiggins, Paul, Draymond). But i bet he'd want to play with CP3 and Draymond. I wonder if this would be a Klay(expiring) + a few assets for Lebron. Klay + Moody is a perfect match for Lebron.
They could still move Wiggins/Kuminga in separate trades to add more.
The argument is which team would be better with Lebron?
Luka, Lebron, Kyrie, Lively, etc.
or
Steph, Lebron, Draymond, CP3, etc.
