I still say the Love trade was dumb. Bron and Kyrie just said "fukk it" and made it happen anyway.

The biggest thot of them all: waltthotney with the goat Coli L
Thank you Allah
Thank you Allah
AND HE WON.
So what the HELL are you blaming him for now? Are you saying that he's so amazing as a player that it overrided the fact that he's a crap GM? Or that he's so amazing as a GM that it made up for his deficiencies as a player? Or are calling him a champion at both?
Can you form and express a logic thought in your head that goes beyond "you stupid fakkit lebron fans are so stupid Kobe ringz!1!!!".
He's proven me wrong

You mean, when people observe actual things happening that prove their preconceived opinions wrong, they can change their mind?
If only we could somehow put that into a bottle and ship it to Kobestan.
If Lebron wins MVP, then beats this GS team under any circumstances other than "multiple all-stars went down for good in the series".....he's making a serious argument for #1.
Seven straight Finals appearances on two different teams, five MVPs, four Finals MVPs, and two of the most extraordinary Finals wins in history.
I think Jordan would be the only one with an argument to push above him at that point...and with his titles against FAR better competition (and without the all-time great coaching and the all-time greatest sidekick), he'd have a serious argument to counter him with.

I didn't like HOW the Blatt thing happened with his firing, preferred them to keep Wiggins over Love, but everything else that happened never really bothered me. Having to part with Wiggins also allowed them to part ways with bum ass Bennett
Wish Mike Miller had shown SOMETHING last season to be able to have been brought back and bench ride his way to a 3rd ring

Getting someone like Love absolutely made sense at the time for a team who desperately needed ONE championship and had 2-4 years of prime Lebron with which to try to grab it. You don't ride into that with a teenager who never played in the NBA as your #3 option...he might simply suck, and then you've lost your window. They needed to grab an all-star with that asset, and Love looked like the best fit. He wasn't, primarily because his defense sucks and he's grouchy, but keeping Wiggins/Bennett was NOT the thing to do. Maybe it should have been Wiggins for someone like Jimmy Butler plus assets instead.
Coaching change was vital - sorry, Blatt fans, but a guy who had never had anything to do with the NBA or dealt with NBA players really wasn't meant to lead a ready-now veteran team competing for a title. Lue might be Lebron's guy, but he was also a better guy.
Other Love and Lue, people used "LeGM mode" to blame/credit the Cavs for:
JR Smith and Shump and a 1st-round pick for Waiters.
Mosgov for that 1st-round pick.
Tristan Thompson resigned for a big contract
Mo Williams signed
Richard Jefferson signed
Channing Frye for Jared Cunningham and a 2nd-round pick.
So since people were talking like the Cavs would have let TT go except that he was signed with Lebron's guys and thus they had to take care of him, you have Lebron personally being blamed/credited for 9 out of 11 guys on the 11-deep of an NBA champion AND the coach (everyone but Kyrie and Delly), and Cleveland only gave up Waiters, Wiggins, Bennett, and Cunningham in the process.
It's not like Cleveland had formed the perfect team, but there's only so much you can do when your two big contracts are Irving/Love, and when 3/5 of your starting lineup got seriously injured in the last year. With absolutely no cap space, does anyone on Earth actually think that Cleveland's basketball operations were going to do a better job putting together a championship-possible team?

To me, giving up the first round picks were never going to be something I harped on bc those picks were in the late 20's anyways and the odds of them landing somebody who would have played a prominent role as a rookie or 2nd year player (this year) over who they gave those picks up for was the smarter move in the short term. I loved the Thompson resigning because homie got paid and also, he was a VALUABLE resigning that they needed. Plus giving up Waiters and bringing in Smith was smart because I always felt Smith was going to be a better fit than Waiters and that turned out to be true.
Like I said, I didn't have an issue with them firing Blatt, but the way it happened seemed like he was the fall guy (and it seemed now that he SHOULD have rightfully been the fall guy) but they DID replace him with a coach already on the staff that the players already had a working relationship with.
All in all, a few moves I didn't like and also being critical of Bron's action and tendency's at time throughout this season turned out to work in his favor and brought him a title and only thing I can admit is that I was wrong overall
