What would it take for the Pelicans to land Lebron?

If the Stephen A Smith rumors are true, and if Jennie Buss is being told to trade Lebron, what would it take for the Pelicans to land Lebron?

That was simple.:P

I would assume the Lakers would not be very inclined to trade with us after the trade deadline stuff.

Nor am I super inclined to want to give up picks and Jrue for Lebron.

There is ZERO chance RICH PAUL does that. ZERO !

Wouldn't want LBJ here, we don't need a player that thinks and acts like they have more say so then coach and/or GM.

Not interested. He's the best player in the world 90% of the time, probably the best player of all time, has a beyond genius basketball IQ and a huge skillset.

He's also 34, on a huge contract, plays best with a certain set of players around him, brings a huge amount of negative drama right now, and would cost us Jrue Holiday who I do not want to lose whatsoever. Not interested.

It would take hell freezing over and pigs flying

Yeah, because Jordan was absolutely kicking ****** with his early teams and never had any drama whatsoever. He didn't punch any of his teammates in the face or randomly retire to go play baseball or have a crippling gambling addiction or prevent IT from making the Dream Team.

Come on.

I would not deal our lottery pick for Lebron.

I mean, I hope you're trolling. Cause if you actually thought Wilt had an argument for the GOAT spot then...

One of my best friends argued with me for years because he said David Robinson was the GOAT. He finally gave that up after Jordan's 2nd 3 peat...

Edited to add: What's crazy is that Lebron was one of, if not my favorite player for years. Then he started all of the drama and now I just can't stand him. No denying his talent though. He is one of a kind.

David Robinson COULD have been the GOAT. Just didn't happen. He had the body, the brain, the talent. Just didn't play out that way. A lot of luck goes into being great.

What would it take? The largest mass lobotomy ever performed....perhaps millions operated on within 24 hours.
