Lebron James: The PeliKING?

Maybe Lebron was the guy who left that note to sign him and misspelled Kobe's name while comparing himself to him!

Maybe he was the guy telling Monty to not forget about him in 2 off seasons.

This

I talked to a player on the heat, don't ask me who because I can't tell you, but he told me Lebron really wants to win another championship

Funny thread. That's all that needs saying.

I wouldn't doubt that he's one of those players meant to have 5+ championships.

With the talent and depth on our team, he could get that high championship count

I think Lebron would solve our center woes. He would sloe the opposition down tremendously with his defense.

Not with this team I think this is their last run, that's a pretty old team now.

Wishful thinking = taken to new level.

Even if Lebron wanted to play for a small market team, which he absolutely doesn't, Stern would have kittens over this scenario.

That happened in Feb 2010.

My dream next 9 mths.

Pelican & Eric Gordon have a fast start and team willing to trade for him. We trade him for a SM or C (Varejao, Deng or Grander) & a late 1st rd pick.
We make playoffs as 6 seed then upset the Clippers in 1st round
draft next select Mitch McGray
have about 35 mil in cap space sign LBJ

2014-15 Lineup

PG) Jrue Holiday/ Pierre Jackson
SG) Austin Rivers/ Tyreke Evans
SF) LeBron James/ Anthony Morrow/ Darius Miller
PF) Ryan Anderson/ Al-Farouq Aminu /Mitch McGray
C) Anthony Davis/ Jeff Withey

He wants to come see The Mardi Gras bruh

He won't want to come here with this kind of attitude.

If only if only

Good to see that as long as I've been away, these threads still pop up.

Iverson/Carmelo for Lynch/West/Claxton?

make it happen!!!!

Good to be back!

While LeBron stroll in New Orleans
He ought to go see the Mardi Gras
If he go to New Orleans
He ought to go see the Mardi Gras
When he see the Mardi Gras
Somebody'll tell you what's Carnival for

Get Lebron a ticket in his hand
If he wanna go through New Orleans
Get his ticket in his hand
If he wanna go through New Orleans
He know when he get to New Orleans
Somebody'll show him the Zulu King

LeBron will see the Zulu King
Down on St. Claude and Dumaire
He know, he'll see the Zulu King
Down on St. Claude and Dumaire
An if he stay right there
I'm sure he'll see the Zulu Queen.

We joke about Lebron, but is Durant in '16 possible?

Imagine being able to entice him with Jrue, Tyreke, and Davis. Those three should be making about 37 mil by then. Could bring in KD. Or could move Reke, re-sign Ryno and give KD the max.

Honestly, if he is tired of coming up short and we can offer him a chance to play with Jrue, Ryno, and the best big in the league PLUS one of his Team USA coaches, how could he say no?!?!

One of these days in the near future with AD & Jrue we will be a place where FA's want to play.

I don't think it's going to happen, but what will be interesting to watch is the Thunder frantically throwing has been and one dimensional players at him in '15 and '16 to show them they're committed to winning.

Just got the idea because Jalen Rose is predicting Durant will leave in '16 to play with Howard and Harden in Houston. Personally, I think Howard is on he downside by then, while AD will be hitting his prime. If it is between the two, I think playing with Davis would give Durant a better chance at a title. Plus, Davis doesn't demand touches. Would be perfect teammate for Durant.

For us to even be a remote opportunity. I think we'd have to make it to the WCF without him. I think that would get his attention.

I would say that is possible. Honestly, I would be kinda disappointed if we didnt get there in the next 3 years.

Do you really think we can clear the cap space to sign him outright MM?

The math is there. Tyreke and Jrue will be making 21.2 at that point. AD's extension would kick in around 15 if he signs the 5 year max extension. That is 36. Personally, I would move Tyreke and spend that money on Ryno and Smith if I was gonna get Durant.

But yeah, cap should be around 64-66 by then. We would have the room. That isn't the problem. It would be getting him to go from one of the smallest markets to another one of the smallest markets when he will be signing the last big contract while he is still in his prime.

Can we put this conversation on hold for a couple of years? Because I'm already getting too excited! :hihi:

Yeah. I'd rather dream of Wednesday anyway than 2016. So excited about this young team

Let's be realistic. In today's league, why would LBJ come to NOLA? I'm high on our current team, but I'm not sold. We're a small market team and unproven.

Relative bump with regards to the other Lebron Thread.

LeBron is already building his roots in this city... hopefully for his eventual return to NO to play with AD:

You mean Shaq didn't go to the Lakers to win? How about Garnett? There's plenty of players that have. Before LBJ did it.

Garnett never changed teams in free agency he was always trade

Shaq went to LA for the glamour. When he got there, there was like Cedric Ceballos, Vlade (who was traded that year for Kobe), and Nick Van Excel as their key players. Pales in comparison imo.

So you really think winning had nothing to do with Shaq's move?

You don't think Garnett went in and demanded a trade? Both times he was moved?

If it did, it was a bad decision. Not in hindsight, obviously, but that team was not a winner.

In a recent interview after the Heat surged back over the Pelicans 108 to 95, Lebron James had kind words for the future of the Pelicans. Jim Eichenhofer tweeted (and quickly deleted) the following:



Edit: Here's the screenshot:

http://i39.tinypic.com/2zrgv9s.jpg

Could it be that he sees the promise with this team... and one of our 2 glaring holes... the SF position!

Let's not forget...

Per an interview earlier in the year, LeBron hinted at not wanting to play in cold weather:



On top of that, both Lebron James and Erik Spoelstra had glowing reviews for our budding star earlier in the year.



This isn't even the first time that Lebron and New Orleans have been mentioned in a professional basketball union.

During 2008 All-Star Weekend, Lebron even won a trophy in New Orleans: All-Star Game MVP. He has champion ties to New Orleans already.

What is all this pointing to? We all know. Lebron wants to be here. You know it. I know it. Anthony Davis knows it. Lebron James knows it. He was at the Hornets-Heat game in New Orleans last season. He saw how many fans want him here. Hell, even Erik Spoelstra knows it (hence the pressure of winning another championship last year... he needs a reason to compel Lebron to stay... a reason he won't have).

Don't sloe down the momentum, because things are about to pick up. The future is bright here, New Orleans. The King will come.

I could definitely see them winning the championship for New Orleans. I hope it happens.

I do without a doubt, but Shaq made the finals already. So he was already 'winning'. He wanted his cake and wanted to eat it too. So he wanted to win with the marketability. When you're that good you don't have to choose. You can have both.

This is embarrassing

Not hating him hating his game, also I was right.

Were you right? I mustve missed the article where Monty came out and said that... So many trade articles and threads about Pierre Jackson

I've never been a fan of the idea of LeBron coming here for three reasons:
1) sadly, he's too old, by the time Davis hits his prime, LeBron will be like 34-35 years old, and probably just a role player.
2) He will be taking away shots from Davis and Pierre the next couple of years, disrupting their development.
3) He'll want a big contract, and we could use that many to give Aminu the extension he rightfully deserves. That kid is just 22 years old!! He has the potential to be one of the of the best SFs in the league, and he's already the best rebounder.

But I've got to say, this thread has given me a lot to think about. Maybe bringing LeBron isn't such a bad idea after all, we could use all the mark

You forgot to mention how Aminu has elite athleticism and is an extreme defender

That's very true, if he could just improve his mid range shooting, long range shooting, passing, court vision and concentration, he'd easily we an all star. The kid has all the tools.
