the Celtics should get their players back next year and they will be pretty tough to beat in the East with James going West.

If everything falls into place they will be a strong 2nd choice. It could make the NBA fun again. I'm excited.

If LeBron goes to the West the NBA playoffs will be much more enjoyable. The two teams that have a chance for him are Houston and LA and either will be contender. (Assuming LA gets George and Kawhi)

In the East you will have the Celtics reigning supreme again with the up and coming Sixers.

I don't see any way the Lakers get LeBron, Kawhi, and PG. Also, they all kind of play the same position.

Doesn't it depend on how much PG wants to make?

They have room for two max deals I think.

Who is really going to take the chance with an injury plagued Kawhi Leonard?

That biggest reason I said it is because I doubt the Spurs would trade Leonard to the Lakers, not about PG. PG to the Lakers is not a lock in any case.

That's true.

To keep him out of the West.

?

As some have said here, very doubtful that KL ends up in L.A. - Spurs don't want to help a division rival -- and it's even more doubtful therefore that Lebron shows up w/o KL there. But PG to L.A. -- maybe. My guesses for where these three FAs end up.

KL
1. Philadelphia
2. San Antonio

LBJ
1. Cleveland
2. Houston

PG
1.OKC
2. L.A.

Sixers have a ton of cap room, so could accomodate either KL or LBJ. But LBJ only has a good chance to beat GSW at HOU. Will everyone take a cut to fit LBJ under the cap there -- sounds like yes -- only question is whether he's tired of moving around at this age. Spurs still begging Kawhi to stay -- will it work? PG sounds happy at OKC -- 70-30 he remains there. Hopefully they can dump Melo.

Will the Cavaliers now be joining the Continental League?
