It’s that time of the offseason again. Everyone’s playing ‘Will LeBron take a trade’ once more and some crazy ideas are floated around. Most love imagining LeBron James back in the East once more. However, certain teams in the West have entered the chat. Besides all that speculation about the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly interested. Though it’s hard to picture Bron going to the cross-town rivals, it’s hard to dismiss there’s a strong connection there.

That would be the coach who helped him get his third chip. Tyronn Lue went from the NBA court, to the sidelines as a coach and won one out of three career championships with a young LeBron James at the helm in Cleveland. Now they’re both in Los Angeles.

And as much as most NBA analysts don’t like the idea of The King in Clippers colors, they picture a reunion between him and his former coach. In fact, ESPN sportscasters teased the idea during the Summer League.

Ty Lue was caught on camera on the phone talking to who knows who and what and stirred up the rumor mill. Rather, ESPN got it churning.

“He [LeBron] could finish his career there,” one of them theorized about James possibly going to the Clippers. “I know there’s been a lot of talk about him wanting to get back to that part.”

With a focus on Lue talking on the phone, the commentators joked, “Maybe Ty’s talking to him right now,” and theorized, “He’s talking to him right now. ‘Hey dude, we need you, we need you one more time.'”

Does this make-believe scenario fit? LeBron and Ty Lue’s reunion to recreate the Cavaliers 2016 championship run a decade after it sounds more exciting then some of the other possibilities.

A wilder reunion on the cards for LeBron James

The folks at Bleacher Report have their own theories brewing. They laid out a wild trade idea that would not only send LeBron James back to the East, but also reunite him with another former coach – Erik Spoelstra of Miami Heat. It would also reunite him with the alleged cookie-confiscating dictator, Pat Riley.

As they rightfully pointed out, Miami has been looking for a star for a long time. They pursued Bradley Beal before he landed with the Clippers. “Maybe it’s LeBron who comes in here and joins up with Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Kel’El Ware. A pretty decent group in Miami that I think if they got LeBron James, would have the potential chance to win the Eastern Conference.” 

They feel Miami won’t have to give up much to get the guy who led them to championships in 2012 and 2013 with multiple finals appearances in between. ‘Three_Cone’ proposes sending Andrew Wiggins and Terry Rozier with first round picks to the Lakers to get LeBron and Bronny.

But this idea is not getting that much traction. A glance at online discussions indicate the onle one fans want to see LeBron James reunite with is Anthony Davis who is in Dallas. What are the odds of that happening?
