The Warriors have more picks available for a trade, so that'd be LeBron going to them.
Who do the Warriors send for him? Klay and one of the young guys like Kuminga? Chris Paul a young guy or two and a ton of picks?
It seems like it'd be way too expensive to actually pull off - killing the Warriors' depth.
Not related, but there is a good chance Bron will play 7 or more seasons as a Laker player, which exceeds his 1st stint as a Cavs. Just mind-blowing.
Steph is so good. But leflop is a bum
It’s honestly unreal how good lebron and steph are at this age. Especially since both are way past what your physical prime should be
I love watching these guys play basketball for real is so great for the sport. It’s gonna seeing either of em’ retire.
Makes the Olympics next year more exciting.
Bro the LeBron Curry PnR gonna break everyone
If the thunder weren’t blowing out teams rn chet would be here
Curry actually has no help wtf
Klay's always been a slow starter, so it's hard to gauge, but this could be the end of his time as a starter level player.
I think the Warriors will keep starting him anyway, but it might be worthwhile to give the young guys some of his minutes.

Two 🐐
Again, how can people say LeBron is the goat when he isn’t even the best in this era?
And make no mistake, this is the Steph era
What I'm taking away is that I hope Klay and AD get it together.
I don't want the best players to be dragging the corpses of their "co stars" around the league.
Klay only needs a significant amount of good games for him to be traded for Zach LaVine.
I did some heavy squats a couple days ago and my back is still cooked. I'm 26. How on earth can an almost 40yo man with that mileage play like this almost every single night?
People just take it for granted that we’re getting the equivalent of Larry Bird and Magic staying healthy throughout the 90s, plus Dr. J still be healthy and nearly prime level in that era too. That’s what getting Curry and Durant still looking like they’re in their prime plus Lebron after two full decades still getting MVP conversations is like. It’s insane and I don’t newer fans really have a baseline to compare it to, to recognize how lucky it is we still get to see these guys playing at such a high level.
League'll be better when Bron gone.
If 20+ ppg is the cherry picked criteria, here's the next 5 after Steph and LeBron:
-
Steph
-
LeBron
-
Hali
-
Giannis
-
KD
-
Jokic
-
Booker
Should add KP would be 2nd over LeBron but he's "only" averaging 19.5 ppg lol
If Bron could hit his free throws he’d be first by a bit, it’s kinda crazy
Crazy how KD and Steph had to team up to beat Bron with a healthy squad.
Shit, I don't even know what's more impressive, so I'm just gonna say these muhfuggas are balling!!!
Imagine telling people in 2016 that this is the case in 2023
Steph legitimately looks like he's going to make every single 3 he shoots. The greatest shooter of all-time is somehow scarier now at 35 years of age.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't he on pace to obliterate his own 3 point record?
Just insane production from these old farts.
Damn, it's almost like this LeBron guy is good at basketball.
I'm convinced Lebron got secret surgery in the offseason. He hasn't looked this explosive in years
i wanna see these guys team up before either of them retire.

At his current pace he’ll break his old record as long as he plays 74 games. He’s actually had a few seasons where he hit the same or more threes per game as he did when he put up 402. But he played 79 games that season. He hasn’t played 70 games in a season since he was 28. So tbh I doubt he’ll break it.

Honestly, Bron could play until 45 on a good team. His passing / vision is unbelievable and he can always cut / push smaller defenders.
Lakers need to get their fucking shit together and get this man another ring. He’s 39 yall. Thirty fucking nine. He shouldn’t and doesn’t need to carry a franchise anymore.
It’s time for the grandpa trio to unite and get their last rings in order to stave off the Giannis/Jokic/Celtics runs for a little longer
GOAT
So a 35 and 38 year old are dominating the league still. Ouch.
2 greatest players of the 2010s still doing their thing.
They're both really good players, both their teams are kinda mid right now, and they both want rings. Hmm, I wonder where this is leading?
Jokic is the new boss .
No do it for players averaging over 30 ppg

We are going to miss these dudes when they are gone.

Bron doing it with consistently great defense is what I love about it
Well, yeah, they’re top 10 players all time. Both will be first ballot hall of famers, retired numbers, and statues. Defining a decade+ of the NBA and will be talked about for decades to come. They’re pillars of NBA history and the sport of basketball.
