Lebron joined a playoff team with Bosh. If Lebron could have he would have signed Durant. Celtics as a super team is a bit of a stretch .KG and Allen were not top ten players anymore and had each been in the league for 12 and 13 season respectively. They were pretty much starting their declines in their careers.
I could care less about Celtics but KG did win DPOY & was 3rd in MVP voting his first season w/ Boston. He was still elite.
Lebron will likely play as long as he has to to try and get at least 3 more titles. It's sad because most players know when to hang them up but he will just keep getting better players to play with which will allow him to play longer and pad his stats more. His longevity playing Basketball out of high school is what will make him great and not his prime years leading the best team to championships.
At this point I dont think he cares as much to get another 3. Yea he could catch Mike but there'd still be the notion that he lost a bunch of finals along the way whereas MJ went 6-0, never once having to go 7 games.
Say he wins another 3 towards the end, it really wont look that impressive nor will it move the needle much.
I think LeBron is pushing to play with Bronny Jr. Whoever drafts him, assuming that happens, he'll then sign with.
Obviously, he'd like to continue to compete along the way and get more titles because who wouldn't, but I think that's the end game. And it would be really ****ing cool if it happens.
Yea, the thinking was the 4 year contract would bring him to when Bronny finishes high school, at that point he may go straight into the NBA (one & done will be abolished by then) or do 1 year in NCAA if he's not ready, in either case I think Bron will do only 1 year deals.
Should Bronny spend a year in college, I can see LeBron staying w/ LA for another year or playing in the closest city to whatever school JR attends.
