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.
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:

"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

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
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.
