LeBron to LA?
Why not Clippers?
1. Swap PF's Gallinari for Kawhai net -$4m, maybe throw in Gilgeous-Alexander PG
2. Jordan opted out -$22m, now have Gortat +$12m net -$10m
3. Coaches son is gone
4. Rivers is respected coach
5. Clippers already have Beverley - an excellent defender, Williams - a good outside shooter.
6. May have to pay luxury tax for 1 year, if they can't unload any of there expiring contracts, but have super rich and motivated owner.
Would end up with 3 of top scorers, LBJ 28 PPG, KL 26 PPG and LW 22 PPG and the 3 best defensive players in the league and no ego issues.
Numbers look good for Clippers vs GSW with this line up.
Top 6 players average 107 PPG for Clippers vs 95 PPG for GSW.
Would seem to have everything LeBron is looking for ie. LA, good coaching, a team that can play defense, and reliable scoring support.
Probably more attractive than playing for Lonzo and the Lakers.
