LeBron advised the team on the changes, not Lue

No, it's actually a great move.

In today s era there no Robinson, ewing, Shaw, hakerm, no true center to speak of that are dominant with height size and skill, so he'll be fine
When is this fukking narrative going to die?

Bron IS that organization/team ..he should be allowed to have that kind of power. Cavs will be Hornets status when he decides to retire.

Keep that man happy.. :yeshrug: Its been finals after finals for him
:pacspit:

Not a basketball fan, but I found it interesting that everybody is always talking about how the players (mostly black players) don't have no power while the owners treat them like slaves. but then you got a brother like LeBron who's showing y'all how to move in a room full of vultures in it's a problem?

The c00nery is real on here huh?:mjpls:

I agree and it goes both ways. The nikkas hating on Bron for having the power to put himself in what he feels is the best position are c00ning it up, just like the nikkas hating on Kyrie leaving Cleveland to put himself in what he feels is the best position are c00ning it up. Funny thing is a lot of the same people who are cool with Lebron doing it, are bashing Kyrie for doing the same thing:sas2:.....then again, some of them same ones was cool with Lebron's move to Miami, but killed KD for going to the Warriors "because it was different" :sas1:.....at least try and keep it consistent.

Its not about that! He is going to find his self being in foul trouble faster or having to defend the rim against fast guards and physical wing men who are going to challenge him at the rim. He is always injury prone, so this is a cause for concern because this is going to make him put alot of strain on his body now having to protect the paint or switch at the right time. It's going to effect him more on defensive side then on the offensive side.
Great point.

Then you add all of starting lineup is gonna have to pick up the slack to support Love, and the strain it'll put on them too - most notably of course Wade and Rose who're also injury prone, and who aren't the strongest defenders. There's A LOT of sacrificing going on, on both sides of the floor with this team.

It's a disaster waiting to happen.

love will have an easier time guarding centers than he will against more mobile 4's. As far as paint protection, even with Tristan in, the cavs were not great at guarding at the rim. With the newer lineups, they're banking on having better perimeter D which shouldn't allow as many free/easy trips to the rim like last year or anytime the last 3 years when Delly wasn't guarding PG's.
:dwillhuh:

First of all, how the hell did you come to the conclusion they're banking on better perimeter D when neither Rose or Wade are great at staying in front of their man and running around screens? Kyrie and JR were above average in this department, and showed up when it mattered most. And you can stop throwing strays at Kyrie, it's well beyond being corny.

yeah, but on the flip side to that...anything any coach does on any Lebron team, they are going to always say it was Lebron that actually did it. he does have a lot of influence, and I dont like how he tries to be GM sometimes but its kinda ridiculous now that people think Lue cant go to the bathroom to take a shyt without Lebron making that decision for him first.
