GET UP | The 76ers are the best basketball option for LeBron to pave a path to the Finals – Wind
on get up and we’re going to play game of what if and it was inspired by espn.com’s Chris Herring who proposed a bunch of huge Blockbuster offseason moves that we could see so let’s dive in Allan what if the Lakers signed Paul George I don’t love the fit I think he’s a playmaker I’d love to see Paul George in that kind of situation so you already have LeBron James going to dominate the ball Lakers really don’t need a wing like this they need a a lead scoring guard they need somebody that can put pressure on another team’s defense with his ability to get in the paint and score they need like oh Kyrie Irving oh interesting Jay well what do you think of this Paul George Lakers I see more Donovan Mitchell uh the Lakers more so than Paul George but also like you know what do you do with the depth on your bench like that’s that’s a critical thing for getting a guy like Paul George you got a lot of your salary cap bought into LeBron James ad and then PG but that depth is something they’ve struggled with throughout the course of the season the one thing about Paul Jo he wouldn’t have to sell his house or anything like that right was so stay in Los Angeles what if here was another one that was proposed the Lakers trade for Atlanta’s Trey young wow I actually like that trade better pa George yeah I like that trade better you who like defense this one has nothing to do with defense this is just the opportunity to take the ball out of Bron hands somebody else can run the offense what we seen in the playoffs against Denver where they were able to take the ball in the hands let DLo run the point and run Brown on that Baseline they gave him a little bit more spacing it’s a it’s a big move nobody ever wants to take the ball out of his hands but if you bring Trey young there I think Bri would be willing to move over let somebody else handle a little bit Allen what do you think I I hate it for the again defense mainly because they had issues with defending guards they had issues with their perimeter defense it’s not going to get better with him high volume shooter as well how much is you know if I’m ad I don’t love that either but couldn’t he help carry them through some of those stretches in the year where they need offense and not rely on all of it coming from LeBron and AD that would be the only way but I mean candidly I like Donovan Mitchell way better Jay will what if and this is again this is something Chris har proposed what if the Sixers actually signed LeBron James that ain’t never happened again we just darl Mor is going to go big game hunting he’s going to go for it he’s going to try I think darl Mor is going to go for your guy and ud’s guy down in 305 and Jimmy Butler to try to bring him back that’s what I think Daryl Moore is going to do the fact that LeBron James going to the lake to the 76ers would never happen I never see that happening I I I think LeBron is set in the Lakers uniform that I think that’s where he will retire so so Wendy today is a big day I’ve been saying it all morning long for the first family of the NBA if you will the James family LeBron is a part of that and his son is an equal part of that what what is going on out there today what do the people need to know yeah well let’s start from the with senior uh Lebron James Senor he has one month from today to decide on his contract opt out uh June e uh towards going to the NBA there actually is I believe an update on this that I saw right before we walked in the door Wendy and you’ve been busy all morning long as have I but W posted a story saying um that LeBron that bronnie James excuse me is staying in the draft again no surprise there this was basically a foregone conclusion but Rich Paul told wge um that he is indeed staying in the draft so that that element goes into all of this again you know LeBron well you played with him and I know he’s someone that you that you have a very close relationship with I don’t expect him to leave Los Angeles either I will just say as a fan of the sport as one who would like to see him get one more shot in in the biggest stage not that he needs it for his um not that he needs it for any reason for his legacy or anything just because it would be fun to see a 40-year-old LeBron James with another shot at it it feels to me like going east if he has the opportunity and going to Philadelphia where you’ve got some really good players are just figuring out out how it works it doesn’t make no sense to me that’s all I’m saying well first I’m GNA say this JW they got a better chance of getting Bron than they do getting Jimmy you got a better you got a better chance of get Bron you do it again Jimmy put that out there real quick tell me is that let Jimmy get away hell to the no hell to the no he can’t get out of the 305 how you going to do that it sound go through me I’m standing at the County Line transport not the airport it did sound like your guy Pat Riley was uh was was not thrilled Jimmy we speak our mind in Miami if you guys don’t know that by now we believe in out of our communication we don’t believe in Walking Away with our heads down and mumbling under our breath we going to say what we feel and we going to move on to the next situation so that’s how we do I expect that from and everybody what was thaty what say Wendy well there is a contract situation um you know Jimmy Butler is eligible to sign a contract extension this summer he does have two years left on his contract he has shown an interest before in wanting to extend when he has the opportunity and Pat Riley basically said that’s not what the heat are interested in so the ball potentially could be in Jimmy Butler’s court if he if the heat don’t offer a contract extension he’s got two years and 100 $1 million left I don’t think it’s outrageous outrageous that the heat would not offer the extension but if they don’t does Jimmy react and we know that in the past when he hasn’t gotten a contract he’s liked specifically in Minnesota he has asked for a trade so I think the reason that Jimmy is being attached to anywhere would be the the uncertainty if that extension doesn’t happen doesn’t happen as as you’re a theoretical player represent representation here I would advise you not to speak on this man no yeah I I ain’t going to speak on this at all I’m just going to say Wendy greeny they didn’t even ask you to say nothing why you we didn’t ask for that information grey you didn’t ask him for that you’re exactly right ask is looking at the rundown it says Lake here right now this not a part of the show UD UD is aggravated there is nothing more dangerous in the NBA than Daryl myy and ity trigger finger and cap space I’m tell you this I’m GNA tell you this Canon Bron and excuse me can Braun and MB coexist you tell me that’s the question I don’t think I don’t think so I don’t think so because braon is very tedious he’s a habit person right now Joel embiid is still working on his habits as great as he is as a player he is still working on his habits and braon don’t got time for that was a great way King ain’t playing that it’s great way of saying he ain’t playing that I’m just telling you so no question in your mind he ain’t no where hell he going there and Jimmy ain’t either okay let’s move on so we have settled those two issues let’s move on the tables are turn in
