Maybe I'm in dream land...

I was watching ESPN this morning and one of the commentators said that with the Iverson trade, they could see LeBron James going north to Detriot @ the end of the 2010 season. Now why I see that would benifit the Pistons, I don't see the benifit for James. The Pistons just lost (to me at least) a much better guard @ feeding the ball to other players and I think the would be a disservice to James...

I like LeBron James and I know he isn't the best shooter in the world, but I find myself thinking where he would land to benifit has chances @ a world title. I've heard NJ because of the link to Jay Z, but I doubt it because he'd be in the same situation as Cleveland (with the title weight all on his shoulders) but be in a more critical market.

Let me throw out an idea birthed completely out of my overactive imagination! Maybe we can pick him up! Why not? He is good friends with Chris Paul. CP3 is one of the best at running the court and feeding the ball to playmakers. We have plenty of cap room from what I understand. While James Posey certainly is a key cog in our gears, I think we could still use some fire power. I think with Peja, DWest, Tyson Chandeller, CP3, and Posey, LeBron James would take us over the top.

Let me know what you guys think... I know this is just fantasy, but I like to visit that land every once and a while.

Hah, what's being a fan without being able to dream, right?

For starters, I think it’d be next to impossible to land him in 2010. We’d need Peja Stojakovic and Tyson Chandler to exercise Early Termination Options and both leave. That’s the only way we even have remotely enough money to make a run at LeBron. I highly doubt Peja exercises his ETO at age 32, it seems like it’d be a bad move for him.

The other option is that LeBron decides to use his ‘10-’11 player option (which is pretty much guaranteed not to happen). We already have 67 million dollars committed for ‘10-’11. So basically we’d need Peja and Tyson to walk in the summer of ’10, and then get LeBron. Either scenario requires that Peja and Tyson both leave. Is a lineup with CP and LeBron in their primes worth those 2 guys leaving? Probably. But I think it requires too many hoops to jump through.

It’d be amazing though… I’m sure LBJ would love to play next to CP3 more than any other point (or even player) in the L.

Unfortunate

that the Hornets won’t be in the running for major FA’s in 2010 due to salary cap reasons. Hopefully, it won’t be necessary as we still get a ring with this group. :)

I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!
