Rich Paul created a whiteboard outlining LeBron James' realistic potential destinations. As you can see, the Warriors, Mavericks, Celtics, Sixers, Cavs, Heat, Wolves, Nuggets, Spurs, Nicks. As you can see, he got four guys, and then LeBron in the mix. You see Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, and B, LeBron. And you got Cleveland. You got Mitchell, Wiggins. Excuse me, that's Miami. You got Damian Mitchell, Andrew Wiggins, Yannis Bam, Bron. And then you got Ant, Mello, McDaniel, Gobert. And you got Murray, Johnson, Gooden, Jokic. And then you got Mitchell, Harden, Mobley, Allen. And then you got the Spurs, you got the Nicks, and so forth, this song. Joe, you see Warriors, Mav, Core, Sixers, Heat, Wolves, Nuggets, Cavs, Predominantly Featured. And then you got the Auxiliary on the edges, you got the Warriors, Mav, Seft, Expurs, Nicks, and then Mav's most likely listed as a non basketball reason.
Cavs' sister GM, Brandon Weems, a big X Factor in Cleveland. He's basically LeBron's brother. Speaking of here, it's LeBron with St. Vincent, St. Mary's, including Cavs' GM, Brandon Weems, and Akron last night.
I think LeBron, if the Nicks wouldn't have won it, Uncle Ocho, I think he would have gladly went to the Nicks. Hell yeah. I think with that New York market and his brand, he would have took them to a whole another strategy, especially if they didn't win it and he got there and they won it. Man, it would have been something else. But anyway, for whatever reason, I told y'all, man, it's a lot of scenarios up here that look great.
But to me, I think he's going, I think he's going either to Miami or Cleveland, bro.

Well, listen, listen, hey, I appreciate Rich Paul. I appreciate Rich Paul and everything he done.
I'm excited. I like the PowerPoint presentation on the erase board. You know, that's just to confuse people, to get people thinking, to get people talking. I understand the dialogue. I understand the content that you created with doing such. But one of the few people that you won't be able to confuse is the person that knows, knows ball. And I'm someone that knows ball. I think I might know better ball, better ball than Rich Paul. Now, even though he represents LeBron James, they've been together for a multitude of years and had great success in the relationship that they do have. But obviously, during this time on the back end of his career, you want to make this last dance your best dance. You don't want to go anywhere in any of these scenarios where you can be functioning like the king that you are. You're not taking a back seat and having a similar situation to what you just left in LA. So the best place, the best opportunity for that, we can also contend for a title when they add other pieces around you to go with Bam and Yannis is Miami. Now, it was very cute. I like what Rich Paul did with the presentation on the race board, but none of that is happening. LeBron James is not going to the goddamn West and dealing with them young bulls. He's not dealing with the young guns. I agree. His easiest way to have a chance at another title and get number five would be down in Miami.
It just would be. I know, and we talk about going to the Knicks enough and some of the things that would have made much more sense as far as his brand being grown globally, he doesn't need help with that. He doesn't need to help with that. Not at this point in his career. He is who he is. He's a global phenomenon. And the best thing for him to do is come on down to Miami, because as pretty as some of the other things look, it just doesn't make sense at 42 years old, in year 24, 23 year career.

Hey, listen. Go ahead, Joe. I kind of understand where Ochocinco is coming from, considering the fact that Cleveland doesn't have the perimeter defenders to be able to deal with some of these top heavy guards that's in the Eastern Conference. You know what I mean?
I think that's going to play a part. And I just think Miami has a nice, very attractive team to where he's probably looking like, damn. Like, you got to understand, the pressure wouldn't be on him to score 25 a night. You know what I mean? He could just be cerebral throughout the entire season, and I think it'll help. They got guys who can defend, and look Daveyon Mitchell at the point, you know he's going to be a pest against some of these top guards. Man, I just think they got what they got. You're shooting, you're three point shooting though, Joe. They gonna ask some guys though. They gonna, see the thing is, you know I know a lot of these cats I have when you look at Klay Thompson, and you know people probably been downing them for the season that he had last year. But bro, when you play with guys who really know how to play, and know how to use you and get you shots, and make you look better than what you really are, I think if you put Klay Thompson in a system like that, he'll thrive. I just think there's so many different options for him. If I'm LeBron, bro, I'm just kind of sitting back, seeing who's making changes to their roster, and where I can just fit right in and we can take off.
