I keep playing it through in my head and the money is really the only sure thing that's a lure for me.
On a 7 year deal....
1) You get Lebron for 2 years and he's way beyond his ability to carry a team to a title, especially in the West.
2) You get an aging AD for 5 years? And he's also not enough to carry that team.
3) For the next 2-3 years? You won't be bad enough to get a high enough draft pick to make an immediate impact.
4) Even if you draft really well the next 3 years and Lebron leaves? A new "Luka" or "Wemby" isn't going to bring you to a conference finals for 3 more years? At that point you're at the tail end of Hurley's initial deal.
So you go there. And again, outside the money, you deal with Lebron's garbage and help try to strike gold rebuilding with the #13-#15 draft pick every year?
I just think the timing and where that team is going isn't a great spot for that deal. Aside from the bag of money.
