EDIT: Couldn't find the BR article but this one pretty much sums up what I read back then https://nba.nbcsports.com/2017/09/13/lebron-james-and-wife-visit-private-school-near-los-angeles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize how much real estate the dude owns. He has made north of $16 million selling off three properties in the last couple of years. He still has one home in Calabasas still... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've need seen a star player that wanted to leave San Antonio until last yr with Aldridge, now this. I'm starting to think Pop will either retire in a few weeks or announce this upcoming season is his last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 If there was any team that could take Ainge to the cleaners, it would be the Spurs...I dont think LA has what SA wants...Philly is another team that will make things interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 “Trading Ingram, Kuzma, Josh Hart, the no. 25 pick, and Luol Deng’s salary for Leonard, as NBA salary cap expert Albert Nahmad suggested, would still leave the Lakers with enough open salary cap space to sign LeBron James and Paul George to max contracts.” https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/6/15/17469674/kawhi-leonard-spurs-trades-next-moves That is the move to give Lebron a team to really challenge Golden State.

I wouldn't give up more than that. Knowing Ainge he probably told them Brown for Kawhi straight up when they were in talks before in which the Spurs never replied back to Ainge. Ainge wont give up the future for a one yr rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
