But IF you make that move while also moving James for 'aggregate' guys who might then be able to be used as trade pieces in a sign and trade (which James wouldn't be able to do given his eventual retirement) and you end up more flexible in terms of future roster construction.
Really do think I'd prefer a Robert Williams deal. It's just cleaner.
In either event, those are the two guys I really think we should keep an eye on in a possible trade in the coming days. Williams and Claxton.

Never been sure where to place claxton. I agree… great complementary piece for lebron. Without him… not so sure. But when healthy a really nice “switchy” defensive piece. His offense is too erratic for my liking
