Hypothetical Lebron to Milwaukee Poll

by Andy Siegel on Jun 14, 2011 12:12 PM CDT

This could be a fun discussion and might bring up some strong emotions. Hypothetically, Miami decides that the Big 3 isn't working, and they want to trade Lebron. They are looking for a better PG and a C. Naturally they call the Magic first but they aren't interested. So Miami considers the Bucks. They want Brandon Jennings and Bogut for Lebron James. They are willing to negotiate other throw in players. Now, here's the question. If you are the John Hammond, do you pull the trigger?

Uh, hahahahaha, right. I voted that we should definitely make sure we get back Joel Anthony in the deal

No way James gets traded, though some hideous epic poetry might cause him to blow out a knee and never play at this level again. Pat Riley is crafty, not a trigger happy lunatic.

I put the second option because

There’s no way in hell I’d cheer for the Bucks with him on the team. It was hard enough being a Cowboy fan and signing Deion Sanders but this would be the limit. Seriously though can you vision LeBron embracing a trade to Milwaukee?

I take it straight up,

we would instantly be a far better team, and while most people on this blog will object to this, I don’t dislike LeBron at all. He plays for my 2nd favorite team (I live near Miami) and I feel he handles all of the hate and scrutiny fairly well. I’ll take that trade.

Funny thing is

Miami might be a better team for it too. Jennings, Wade, Bosh and Bogut is a pretty good core of talent.

Option 5, without question

I’m don’t think Jennings+Bogut > LeBron. Miami did just make the Finals in their first year together, and would have probably won if not for an epic collapse in Game 2 and LeBron’s shockingly bad last few games.

Actually, I don’t think there is a pair of players on ANY team that would be a fair trade for LeBron. Closest I could come up with is maybe Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson, or Chris Paul and…Okafor?

I wasn't saying it was a fair trade

I was saying it might(and I really mean might)make Miami a better team(emphasis on team). For instance if Miami traded Bosh for Kobe bryant is that a good trade? Would it make them a better team? I’m just saying that maybe Wade and James sometimes have difficulty co-existing

Durant and Westbrook?

Salaries wouldn’t work and one ball wouldn’t be enough. Deron Williams and Lopez?

Durant and Westbrook isn’t bad (I’m not really considering salaries). You’re losing some serious defense in that swap, though. Williams and Lopez is brought down by Lopez, surprisingly, who seems like he might not be quite as good as everybody thought.

A true superstar trade usually is more than 1 for 2

Gretzky and Lindros in hockey(won the Avalanche therir first cup trading Lindros to the Flyers), Hershel Walker in football(another championship won by trading a superstar) to name a couple. I was trying to make the point that they could improve their team by trading one of LeBron or Wade.

How about Kobe and Bynum or Gasol.

I could no longer cheer for the Bucks if this happened.

Seriously, I couldn’t. I despise LeBron James with a passion.
