Deng's stretched cap hit is off the books, 5 million more to throw into a Russ extension

Ideal offseason:
Bron requests a trade
Trade AD to Chicago for Zo and Lavine
Trade Russ byke to OKC
Hire Quinn Snyder

We gotta figure out a way to get like 3 Alex Caruso’s and 2 Buddy Hields

You know they’re gonna run it back with maybe a mildly better roster next year

I’m rolling with AD and Bron for the time being.
Do what you can to fix the role players around them and let the chips fall where they may

With our FO, People think if we get rid of AD and Bron, things somehow get better. I don’t get it.

Somehow committing to a rebuild with no assets or picks makes sense to people. That ship sailed

Why though? They both can't stay healthy.

Not a rebuild but trading ad for another star. One that will age better. Once ad loses a step. He will be useles. A 19 percent three point shooter, 33 percent mid range shooter and main offensive moves are outmaneuvering slower guys. What if he becomes slow. He’s another ankle roll away from it too

Well we can only get back assets by trading what teams would actually want and that's AD primarily and Bron should he ask out

They just assume there is very high trade value for Lebron (who we’ll never trade unless he demands it) and the same player our own fanbase calls Always Disabled.

Even if I was cool with a trade, both guys coming off injury filled seasons aren’t going to have the same trade value they would have of healthy. Bron can be a FA next summer and AD the summer after that so you would basically have to trade them to a team of their choice because no one’s going to give up much for guys who can walk in a year or two.
But I’m not cool with a trade, unless you think they won’t extend/re-sign. Even though this season was a struggle, we also saw Lebron and 3 or 4 players who weren’t even in the league at the beginning of the year basically compete at times with some of the best teams in the league. So upgrade the surrounding pieces and take your chances.
I can look around the league at most other contending teams and see the potential for injuries…Nets w/ KD, and Kyrie…Clips w/ Kawhi and PG… Warriors w/ Dray and Klay … so I don’t see any reason to panic and blow it all up.

Coming into the Bron era I was skeptical and if they got 1 I'd be happy. I know everyone else wants to discount it but I'll take it, especially the same year we lost Kobe.

That Laker team was pretty dominant from the get go. It’s not like they came outta know where with a Cinderella run to win it all.
All the noise trying to discrete the bubble title = hater talk

If ANY other team won it it'd be a celebration about winning against the odds and situation

I don't think that's true at all. Bron old but he is still a money maker. AD definitely would have a robust market.
