Rumor today is that the Hawks want to offer him an ownership stake to try an woo him to ATL - something he says he wants to be one day (an owner).

Now that LeBron James is a free agent, it's time to start thinking about which team he might land on. Below is our list of the teams we think should make a serious effort to get LeBron, along with a thorough breakdown of how he would fit in. Buckle up.
Chicago Bulls
Adding LeBron to that defense sure would be something. He might be able to give the push the Bulls need to reach the top.
Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron and Kobe on the same team would make for some kind of duo! A playmaker like LeBron could really put this team back on the map.
Toronto Raptors
This is a spunky playoff team that could really make some noise in the East with LeBron on its roster.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers were real close to making the NBA Finals over the last two seasons. LeBron could probably get them there.
Miami Heat
If anyone could get this team back to the finals, it's LeBron.
Oklahoma City
LeBron, Durant, and Westbrook? Now that would be a Big Three!
L.A. Clippers
Paul, Griffin, and LeBron? Now that would be a Big Three!
San Antonio Spurs
LeBron could really give this band of savvy veterans the push they need to lock down a repeat.
Brooklyn Nets
If the Nets really want to become the hottest team in New York, LeBron is their ticket.
Washington Wizards
This is a playoff team with a good young core. With LeBron, they become a real contender.
Portland Trailblazers
Aldridge, LeBron, and Lillard? Now that's a Big Three!
Golden State Warriors
The West is going to be stacked every year, but this team could really make some noise with LeBron on the roster.
Houston Rockets
Harden, Howard, and LeBron? Say hello to the new Big Three!
New York Knicks
The eighth seed in the East is up for grabs, and LeBron could lock it up for this team.
Detroit Pistons
The Pistons had a rough season last year, but LeBron could give them what they need to turn things around.
Charlotte Hornets
Al Jefferson and LeBron James would make for a dangerous one-two punch in the Eastern Conference.
Minnesota Timberwolves
If they can convince Kevin Love to stay and sign LeBron, this team would be very dangerous.
Phoenix Suns
Adding a superstar like LeBron to a good young team like the Suns could make for an explosive combination.
Memphis Grizzlies
The King would really fit in at The Grindhouse. What a defense that would be!
Boston Celtics
The Big Three is no more, but LeBron and Rajon Rondo would make for one heck of a Big Two.
Milwaukee Bucks
This team is building for the future, but LeBron could make them a threat in the present.
Atlanta Hawks
The East is going to be wide open next year, and LeBron could help this team rocket to the top of the conference.
Denver Nuggets
LeBron has exactly the kind of skills that this team needs to really become a threat in the West.
Sacramento Kings
DeMarcus Cousins is a force to be reckoned with in the paint, and LeBron would be the perfect running mate.
Dallas Mavericks
If LeBron teams up with Dirk Nowitzki, it's not hard to imagine the Mavs making one last run at finals glory.
Philadelphia 76ers
If this team had LeBron, you could book it for a playoff appearance every year.
Orlando Magic
Easily a playoff team with LeBron James on the roster.
Utah Jazz
LeBron is just the kind of player that could get the Jazz playing sweet music once again.
New Orleans Pelicans
Teaming LeBron up with Anthony Davis would be a great way to guarantee perennial playoff appearances.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Nah.
So there you have it. These teams should really try to sign LeBron James.
(thanks, Deadspin)

Funny. I read that in an infomercial, Billy Mays style voice.
"These two guys and LeeeBron? SAY HELLO TO THE NEW BIG THREE!!!" "This team is really young and could use a superstar? That could ROCKET them to the top!!!"
$9.95 + shipping and handling.
exactly. not winning.Quote:

Fuck brawn. Does nobody remember him quitting?
Now this decision 2.0 hoopla
Wiggins, LeBron, Kyrie. Well ok then.
I can't believe I'm paying as close attention to this fiasco as I am but... Cavs deal away dead weight to Brooklyn and Boston to clear space for max contract offer to LeeBron today.
Could it be?
At this point I'm thinking there are only two teams in this hunt, Cleveland and Miami. It's nuts how the entire league seems to be on hold until one guy makes his 'decision'.
/IfeeldumberforhavingdiscussedNBAoffseason
I fully expect him to go back to Miami, but that Cavs team could be really interesting if Lebron joins them.
adding granger is a step in the right direction for the heat but they still need a distributor.
I don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell of him going back to Cleveland but who knows.
Lebron is a pussy quitter, delete this thread
he stole the spotlight from the NBA champs with this bullshit
did everyone forget he gave up and quit in the most crucial game of his life?
Nope. That's why you can still buy "Quitness" shirts full-price in Cleveland.Quote:

I have never been to an NBA game and I don't think I've ever watched one from start to finish, so, it doesn't matter to me, but it has been interesting to read about.
^how is lbj being douchy?
In the NBA superstar players are much bigger than any team, because they bring in $$$ and Ws.
That's why there's a salary cap. It prevents such free movement. Otherwise, somebody like Cuban or now Ballmer would just mindlessly spend their kid's inheritance on a winning team. It only takes five guys with a decent bench.Quote:

This is now getting stupid-fun. Rumors, innuendo, and straight up gossip in a real time world. I sure hope LeeeBron is sitting back somewhere shitcan drunk with his laptop following all this nonsense.
His next step is ownership, of some sort.
and mike miller, 2 shooters would be hugeQuote:
