We Believe King - LeBron James to the Warriors in 2010?

by Atma Brother ONE on Dec 4, 2008 10:58 AM PST in Humor Comment 31 comments

Back in the spring of 2k7 We Believe Playoff was in full effect here in the Yay Area.

But in the summer of 2010 will We Believe King be in full effect?

Use your hops like LeBron on a fast break to check out an enlightening email we received the other day.

Hi GSoM,

The LeBron James sweepstakes is already heating up -- the Knicks are clearing cap space, the Nets are pushing to get to Brooklyn ASAP -- and King James is still two years from free agency.

According to BetOnline.com, the Cavs are still the favorites to keep LeBron (6-to-5), with the Warriors a 75-to-1 underdog.

Let me know if you have any questions,

{Top PR Agency}

Thanks for the kind and informative email. I actually do have a few questions, so I'll have to take these good folks up on the offer.

Do the Dubs really have a worse chance of landing LeBron than:

the Charlotte Expansion BETCats?
the Milwaukee Sucks?
the Hotlanta Pigeons?
the Utah "NO ON PROP 8 Haters" Jazz?
the Indiana Dunmurphy Sisters?
the Sacrapmento Kings?
the San Antonio Snores?
the Minnesota Timberkittens?

What in the name of Bimbo Coles is going on here? I know We Got Suck is Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack in the Bay, but this bad?

It is still somewhat comforting to know that the Warriors supposedly have a better chance than both the OKC Thieves and Memphis Teddy Bears. I don't mind the realism that LeBron ain't coming here in 2010, but all I ask for is a little respect like this.

This my friends is quite... well... "Unstoppable Baby!"

Are these odds totally off? What are the chances the Bay will be King-ed in 2010?

Careful now...

Or Dubs fan in Boston will go on a crusade to point out what an incredibly sexist comment that is…

It's about heart, It's about fight, It's about being a Warrior!

He doesn’t have to, because I’ll tell you right now that it is.

I thought you were the liberal champion on this board? Or is that for the political arena, and not the personal one?

We’d have a better chance trading Maggette for Davis.

WARRIORS BASKETBALL!!! Patiently waiting for a title...I may be waiting for a long time...

cooooomme oooooonnnnn

dude...

you and I both wasted time in our lives to type this stuff up…. lol

75/1?

It’s not that King James wouldn’t want to come to the Bay Area, it’s that he couldn’t. The genius extension of Stephen Jackson’s contract, the big panic signing of Corey Maggette, and the acquisition of Jamal Crawford’s long contract have handcuffed us financially for many years to come. Not only will we not be getting Lebron James in 2010, we won’t be getting any of the big name free agents that offseason because of our salary cap situation.

We gotta love what we have now

MOVE OVER CJ

THERE’S A NEW 23 IN TOWN!!

Unless you get rid of Maggette and Jackson for like $25 million in cap space

There's a better chance of him switching to velcro LA Gear, with the flashing red lights..

There's a better chance of him switching to Birks

Megablockbuster Trade for Nothing but Cap Space

Trade away Maggette, Jackson, and Crawford for Wally Sczerbiak, Chris Wilcox, Robert Swift, and Jason Collins

I'm reminded of...

three words that the 49ers front office used to throw around a lot. “Salary Cap Hell”

I doubt that the idea of balling in a Dubs jersey excites him much, but our cap situation combined with the number of long-term near immovable contracts make it near impossible to be a serious player in 2010 free agency. So yeah, we probably won’t even be in a position to receive the honor of being snubbed in the LeBron sweepstakes.

Unless you make a package deal of SJax and Jamal Crawford for Shawn Marion

Then trade Maggette for Jason Collins, Calvin Booth, and every draft pick the Wolves own. People are pushing for Ricky Rubio and/or Blake Griffin.

This is the kind of stuff that makes the front page?

Way to point out what a scrub team we are.

I pray i never have to use a gun again...

...unless i'm at a strip club parking lot...

...and somebody tries to run me over with their car...

...But how often does that happen??
