You've got to understand that people's outlook on things can change/evolve. We all know that Lebron has been reluctant to play there consistently in the past but he's seemingly come around to it now. The evolution of the league probably has a lot to do with that.

"I mean, our offense is a lot faster, a little bit more precise with me at the four," James said. "I'm going to be setting a lot more transition and halfcourt pick and rolls, which is OK. I know I can either get my guy open or if they put two on the ball I'm able to make a play, able to be a quarterback in that situation."

Oh, and one other thing.

"I don't see a downfall to it," he said.LeBron James is embracing playing power forward for the Cavaliers like never before

I know he's accepting the role now for the betterment of his team (even Bron basically has no choice now due to the leagues climate changing), but at the time of his return to CLE (and the Love acquisition) not playing PF was a big sticking point for him and was a reason he wanted Love. Bron got the exact team he wanted after the trade with the Knicks was completed.

I'm not arguing against the claim that the Love trade was cosigned/pushed by Lebron. I'm just saying that it was a mistake and so was resigning him. He was overrated in Minny and they don't need him. He actually holds the team back.

Bron is only playing the 4 because love hasn't dominated in the position. There would be no talk of Bron playing the four if Love actually lived up to his billing in the position...he hasn't. Bron was thinking he wouldn't have to do much dirty work cuz a "superstar" like love would surely dog cats out in his position...but what's been found out and that nobody wants to admit is that K love isnt that good:ld:...period. Bron bought into the hype like everyone else...then had to watch Draymond Greene first hand do what love was supposed to...hit threes, stretch the floor and be big down low...k love is p*ssy down low against real bigs(he just plays slow and unathletic to hide his inferior skills and foot work:scust:)...I still like him on the squad though, he's a good scorer...but d is needed in the beginning of games and shump or tt gives them that...not k love:manny:

Got plenty of common sense. I've just seen what Bron has done to others over the years, esp other wing players. They become jumpshooters and spot up cats because he doesn't play off the ball well. Wade was an allstar who took a backseat and let Bron become the main ballhandler. But Wade knew how to play off the ball. And we all know Love is suspect defensively.

Was the trade bad? Of course it was. And would you rather see how Wiggins would have played with Bron vs having Love? I think we all agreed they should have given it a chance first.

Your right Bron is ball dominant the team the way it's currently set up isn't a match for the games of the Cabs big 3

LOL CHRIS BOSH WAS LOOKIN LIKE BRANDON BASS PLAYIN W/ BRONZE .. HE RUINED LARRY HUGHES CAREER .. WADE WENT FROM TOP BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE DISCUSSIONS TO NOT EVEN MENTIONED. THATS WHAT HE DO FOLKS.
Wade still ballin...still a star. Larry Hughes reached his zenith imo...Bosh as nice as he was would have NEVER of won a chip without bron and Wade ...he was good but I'd never consider bosh a SUPERSTAR...that's me tho. The reason we respect pippen so much is because as good as MJ was he still managed to shine next to him. Pip hit the open shot off double teams...he'd be aggressive without mj on the floor and run shyt reminding teams how nice the squad was while MJ rested on the bench...my point is the shyt depends on the player how they perform not bron or mj. Played don't live up to there hype, blame bron, players can guard their man, blame bron...fukk that. K love just ain't that good. Cleveland obeyed the media and started running the offense through love for extensive amounts of the game...what's happened...not a damn thing. K love ain't shyt. Kyrie goes off, bron goes off...hell JR goes off...k love I can't say the same about.
