How the hell the cavs went that long without getting bron some help?

[L&HH]

If this would have panned out , save for Ricky Davis bum ass.

 

[mastermind]

They just had a clusterfukk of absolutely awful GM work, and a location that not many FA's want to sign in. Jim Paxson set that franchise back YEARS long before they got LeBron, but then again, had he not been such a shytty GM they never would have won the lottery to draft him. Also, it doesn't help that LeBron was good right out of the gate and limited their ability to get a high draft pick.

Some of Jim Paxson's gems -


- Drafted Luke Jackson 10th, left Al Jefferson and Josh Smith on the board.
- Let Boozer out of his deal on a verbal agreement which is against NBA rules, so they could try and sign him below market value, all they had to do was wait a year to lock him up.
- Traded a first round pick for Jiri Welsch (Turned out to be Rudy Fernandez)

That doesn't even address the fact he took Dajuan Wagner over Amare & Nene



I think Ferry did a good job considering what he had to work with, Paxson is a historically bad GM. The only knock on Ferry is pulling Hickson out of the Amare trade at the last minute, and opting for Jamison instead. LeBron leaving could be traced back to the shyt job Paxson did as a GM, dude was on some CPU NBA 2k13 type trade & draft logic, he's the type of GM that makes me think I could have done a much better job.

I wonder who Cavs fans think is a worse front office guy, Jim Paxson or Ted Stepien.

They got Ricky Davis the fukk out of Cleveland as soon as they could once LeBron got there

 

[havoc]

Remember when they turned down the Amare trade for.....JJ Hickson

That sh!t was ridiculous.

I didnt think it was THAT bad because I liked Hickson and he worked well in their game and Amare was probably just a rental. Where they really fukked up was holding onto Hickson like he was gold and then throwing him in the bushes once they got Jamison and later trading him for fukking Omri Casspi instead.

And Mike Brown sitting him in the playoffs was just

I forget all about luke Jackson geez what a fukking bust

Lets not forget overpaying Larry Hughes to be brons "pippen"

 

[FTBS]

Instead of the cavs and there fans hoping lebron comeback in 2014, they better hope kyrie come back first...

anyway lebron is not heading back...he's either staying in miami base of the health of wade or he breaking out west off the strength of magic johnson talking him to play with the lakers..

Magic can't even talk that nikka into doing 3 dunks for a million dollars.

 

[Reggie]

Though they should have gotten Amare that season the Jamison pickup was more than enough to put them over in the East. Remember that Amare and Shaq didn't play all that great together the previous year in Phoenix and maybe Ferry took that into consideration. But Hickson should have been shipped out for a player of Amare's talents. But with Antwawn Shaq Bron and Mo Williams they should have been in the Finals in 2010. But we know how that ended up playing out and why.

 

[frush11]

I don't think it was just a case of not having enough help, cause we also have to factor at that point of his career, Bron simply wasn't all there yet as a player to lift the trophy. He still had a lot of growing to do as a player.

Current day Lebron on that team, and they would've won a ship.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Rose is going through the same thing in Chicago. Playoffs with a mediocre team his first 2 seasons. Third season, best record in the NBA and ECF. Fourth season, best record in the NBA, but we know how that ended.

Pre Rose bulls were not as bad as pre Bron Cavs

 

[Joe Sixpack]

This is why is a boss.

Most players stay in the situation until it's too late.. KG did it but he got lucky when he got to the Celts.

He said fukc this and bounced.

He took his future in his own hands and got the hell up outta that dump

 

[madness]

cleveland blew it. a once in a lifetime type of talent who's homegrown falls into your lap and you fail to make the necessary moves to satisfy him. you had your chance and shyt the bed. then after burning his jerseys, they wanna cheer for him and beg for him to come back?

no dignity, no pride.

if wade left miami when he was a FA in 2010, 96% of heat fans wouldve hit him with the "thank you for the ring, peace"

 

[Danie84]

they got him Shaq...at the end of his career
