This question is to people who don’t respect how LeBron’s changed teams constantly

I seen these tweets



KD, Kyrie, Melo, Harden, AD, etc. have all found ways to escape a current situation for another one mid contract, do u feel as that’s any different than how LeBron conducts his contractual obligations to his team?

people say steph curry changed the game with his shooting, but it was really Lebron with his "choose your own adventure" mindset
Before Lebron, even players like Jordan, Kobe and Shaq were beholden to general managers and coaches
Bron took all the power away from them and turned them into NPCs

He made it imperative as a GM to do your fukn job correctly. Instead of the owner collecting all the extra $$$ a star player like LeBron brings to your team and your businesses and your other friends businesses, while putting in minimal effort in spending $$ to bring a legit team around him.

Some of y'all don't seem to understand this about Brons first run in Cleveland. Dan Gilbert was very happy spending moderately priced contracts on older role players and collecting $$$$$$ from Bron carrying the team without him spending the money he normally would have

Foh he dragged that sorry ass franchise to the finals in 07 and wait years for them to improve the roster but they didn’t. Bruh just took his career in his own hands and nikkas mad :mjlol:

bron is the reason why players move how they do now

but not in the way people most often say

he likely would have been a lifetime cav if other stars & franchises didn't start conspiring to deal with him

or if the cavs franchise was more competent

i don't view what bron did as being a negative it was always a counter to what was happening amongst the opposition

moving just because of discomfort is new shyte

exhaust all options first

This is only partially true. Towards the end of his contract Bron wouldn't commit to resigning so nobody wanted to sign there. Also make sense why Cleveland wouldn't go all out sacrificing the future to win immediately if Bron would possibly leave anyway. Stephen Jackson when he was all-star level mentioned that as part of the reason he was worried about going to Cleveland.

They also took swings and just missed with the Wally Szczerbiack, Shaq, Mo Williams, Antwawn Jamison, and Ben Wallace pickups who all made big money. So it's crazy to say the Cavs didn't try to improve or didn't spend money during Lebron's first tenure. They tried and just fukked up.
