I don’t see that happening. From all reports I read, Leonard has said in private that he respects James as a player but wants no part of being on the same team as him.

More realistic is that they go after Middleton or Brogdon.
Giving max or close to a max for Brogon I think would be great for them. Super efficient offensive player. Not great but at least tries on defense. And mature enough to be able to handle being in Lebrons orbit.

If I was a professional basketball player, James would be great to play with on the same court for 48 minutes. But everything else that comes with it would never make me never want to be on the same team. From the sub tweets to the behind the scenes manipulation. Just not my style.
AD seems to have a pretty submissive personality so I think he will be okay there.
