<![CDATA[How to get Lebron to stay in Cleveland]]>If for some reason it comes down to money.... I have the perfect idea to keep Lebron.

Mike Brown is worthless. I'm pretty sure Lebron could coach this team.

Solution.....?

Pay Lebron to play AND coach. There's no doubting his basketball intelligence. I'm guessing he can make adjustments a lot better than Browns non-adjustments.

Thoughts?

We have to get better at the Center position.

I agree we need to get better, but whats the alternative? If we get shaq were good but if not who do you suggest? I cant think of a center available other than Shaq that would be an upgrade over Z

Even Varejao is becoming a better offensive option than Z, with the ability to catch and finish in traffic...but still resorts to some ridiculous spin moves and layups. Shaq's 60% FGs are pretty appealing, a guy like Josh Smith with the ability to finish, who put in the right offense could easily get 18 ppg at 50% FG, would be pretty nice as well (and obviously a better long term option than Z or Shaq).

It's going to be just a maddening offseason and regular season. We can speculate all we want, but nothing matters until next summer.

Why? he had a good season

he didn't have a favorable matchup againt Howard but I dont no a player that does. Z's never been a banger and never will, his games pick and roll, mid range jumpers and second chance points. If Z did retire who would be our center?

Devilishly clever isn't it? evilgrin0041.gif Name one team in the East that could match up against our frontcourt and then you would have a great passer like Nash feeding Amare and Odom under the basket also you couldn't give Nash and Mo room to shoot either 😉 And Dirk is Dirk, he will score at will.

Remember you said JUST FOR FUN.[EDIT]

I realized how old the second unit was with Smith in there so I added Hickson simply because he's a beast and he is young and I expect him to be a very good player. Should add more athletisism to the second unit. IMO. Think about it we would have a brickwall of a front court that can score and shooters in Nash and Mo.

They need to design an offense with him moving more without the ball and get out on fastbreaks more or this team will always come up short in a championship chase. Wouldn't mind seeing him post up more too. LeBron is ONE great player but we have already proved that one player can't do it all.
