That's better than having a volume shooter iso guy like Harden? Lonzo Ball isn't a good shooter either. Simmons is a really smart player and a good teammate. Worst case scenario, you can trade him or Fultz for a king's ransom. But I don't see why it would come to that. Lebron's played with really bad shooters before and apart from Simmons, the Sixers have several excellent outside shooters including Embiid. [Reply]
Bill Simmons once wrote about the “42 Club.” It pointed out how truly elite players averaged a total of pts, rebs and assists greater than 42 in the playoffs. Well, LeBron averaged 34, 9 & 9 this year - he just created the 52 Club. Hope he has a better supporting cast next year.
LeBron James suffered a significant right hand injury after Game 1 when he punched a black board in the locker room, sources told me & @mcten. He had 2 MRIs & has been wearing a soft cast. LeBron not using injury as an excuse but kept quiet to prevent Warriors from knowing.
Starting to think the Spurs make the most sense. Defensive minded PG to attempt to counter Steph, Kawhi to play D on Durant, LeBron would be able to have the ball in his hands at all times and he loves Pop. [Reply]

They won't accommodate the shitty system he wants to run to pad those stats. The Spurs are all about team basketball. [Reply]

LeBron has to decide at this point in his career if titles are more important than statistics. They should be. [Reply]

He will want both and there are teams put there that will give him what he wants and still a chance for a title. The Spurs won't sale out though. [Reply]
