I hate the Lakers, but Lebron + Kawhi + PG13 would (hopefully) be an entertaining watch.
Well fuck I was hoping George would opt in.

I'd watch it too, but still not enough to take down GS.

Was discussing this earlier with a coworker and I agree.

I think it would be, depending on who Lakers gave up in the Kawhi trade. Their bench would be better than GSW. Kawhi and PG are 2 of the best defenders in the league. Maybe LeBron can be solid again if motivated on that side.
Didn’t PG have to opt out to get money? I thought this was a known thing like with the nuggets declining the option on their guy.

Yeah, according to the article I saw, there's still a decent chance he could re-sign with OKC.

Agree.
Screaming Stephen has reported that Bron has been texting with KD about joining him in LA.

Lolnba
And it kinda sounds like it’s the Celtics and the Lakers who remain in on the Kawhi trade talks. I would assume Ainge is just trying to drive up the price.
And I assume Bron’s “opt-in, opt-out” decision will come out soon.

I know that if I was texting other NBA players about my potential destination, I'd make sure a publicity whore desperate for headlines was in the loop!!!!

If he opts in I’d be shocked. And then you’d know he’s gone.

It really seems like it though
Stephen A was the first (or one of the first) to report Bosh and LeBron joining Wade in 2010.
I think for him Philly is the best bet. That team has the swagger and mental toughness, with his leadership to compete for an nba title. LA seems like it’s gonna be a complete disaster

After thinking about this more, I don't doubt that LBJ did reach out to Durant and, frankly, it's a beta bitch move on Lebron's part, if true. LBJ's camp is denying it (no doubt) but I think it was most likely Durant's camp leaking that info. With the way Screamin' A worded it, the source was more likely to be from Durant's group...
Stephen A. Smith on ESPN:
LeBron James reached out to Kevin Durant via text, from what I’m told, about coming to Los Angeles. I don’t know what Kevin Durant’s response to him was. That is not the information that I got. But I will tell you what I did hear is that behind the scenes, Kevin Durant was like, “Why would I do that? You know what, as far as I’m concerned, LeBron James is a big-time player, what have you. But the way I look at it, I should be perceived as the best in the world. I’m the reigning two-time champion. I’m the reigning two-time NBA Finals MVP. Why would I think about doing something like that?”
