It won't be enough, even if they have the firepower... The Warriors aren't just a random cast of superstars, they have perfect chemistry..

Only team that might beat them is the Spurs with Lebron... Even then the Warriors would be favorites. They're a glitch in the matrix :hubie:

Facts.

Its not even the fact they added a top 2 player in the league, its they added a top 2 player, and one that compliments there style of play to the highest level. All the other teams are adding good players together but its still going be tough to beat The warriors because these other teams pieces don't compliment and fit together as well. Not to mention Warriors will still in all likelihood be more talented then any combination of teams that can be made.

Bron brought this on himself true but the warriors may be the biggest anamoly in NBA history. Youd literally have to construct a perfect team to beat them.
I agree.

It is part his fault. But the warriors came out of nowhere. Lebron intial plan was to compete against teams like the spurs. Then warriors came along and blindsided not just Lebron but the whole league. I honestly think without Durant The cavs and Warriors are still close and I would even favor the Cavs. But them getting Durant is just too much. Lebron's plan while not the best was solid until they got KD.

Anyone who thinks LeBron is going to the west is a damn fool. :mjlol:

IF he leaves Cleveland it will be to another team in the East, where he's guaranteed yearly trips to the finals

That maybe true but its funny how people keep bringing up his finals record as a case against his Legacy as if going and losing is worse then never going at all. I disagree (I think its neutral). However, most people don't feel that way it seems.

Wouldn't there be less pressure in the West? You gotta see the Warriors anyway, if you lose in the divisional or Wcf its :yeshrug:. If you go to the east and make the Finals and lose, then it s another mark on his legacy(again dumb logic to me but, this is the majority of people).


To me theres just more pressure for Lebron legacy wise staying in the east, then going to west.

He doesn't have to win anymore to be the GOAT. The numbers are all he needs. But once Lebron leaves Cleveland and teams up with at least 1 other star player, you're going to the back of the bus where you belong.
:mjgrin:
A then you woke up breh!

Golden State put together four max, All-NBA players (two of them MVPs), a legit center and a Finals MVP without having to actually pay any of them the max. No one expected that, and it will never happen again.

Those people who blame GM Lebron for this, with Kyrie and Lebron already getting the max, by what sorcery did you expect him to turn the worst team in the NBA in 2014 to a title champ in 2015 AND still magically have cap flexibility in 2017?

The best thing they could have done is kept Griffin and actually worked the magic to get the deals for Bledsoe, Butler, and PG13. That is the kind of offense/defense lineup that could actually compete with the Warriors. Kyrie and Love were the assets they had to use to move mountains. But when Gilbert decided Griffin had to go, they lost their chance.

They don't win the title last year without TT balling. They don't win without Swish either. Cavs got the 2nd best roster in the league. KD to the Dubs just means that its a big gap between them and the 1st. nikkas on here like 'he brought it on himself' like they not running through the rest of the league with ease. Nobody foresaw KD going full Beta and completely screwing up the balance of the league. The moves Bron supposedly forced the Cavs into making were the right ones at the time. Dumb nikkas forget that the Cavs were over the cap from the jump meaning the ONLY way they could improve the roster were trading picks or convincing guys to take the minimum. If they played hardball with TT or Swish and those guys walked they STILL wouldn't have had any cap space to find comparable replacements. Its what every team in the league faces. The Warriors were lucky in that when they started their run they didn't have any max guys. Steph was on the biggest bargain in the league, Klay and Barnes were on rookie deals and Green was on 2nd round rookie deal. Everything broke right for them to sign another star. Cleveland had 3 All Star players making All Star money and did a really good job putting decent role players around them which is why its stupid they let Griffin go.

Stop being logical, lebron turning the cavs from 3 straight 1st overall picks to 3 straight finals and a chip with another finals comming up was a failure and he ruined the team

Amen.




They should've never traded sway Andrew Wiggins. He would still be on his rookie deal and they could've used the money they gave Love to sign other players.

They probably wouldn't have traded for Shumpert or JR Smith.

The starting lineup right now should've been.

PG - kyrie.
SG - waiters
SF - wiggins
PF - james
C - thompson
(OR a free agent).

LeBron proved he didn't need love to get to the finals. Now they have 2 overpaid starters and 2 overpaid players coming off the bench.


thecoli.com :snoop:


Cleveland's offense AND defense were both much worse whenever Waiters was on the court and mentally he wasn't there at all. His offensive skills were a terrible compliment to Kyrie and Lebron, and his defensive skills were even worse.

You seriously want to take the ball out of Kyrie and Lebron's hands so Waiters can get his chance to volume-shoot midrange twos? You seriously want to compound Kyrie's lackings on defense by putting an undersized SG who can't play defense right next to him?

Waiters couldn't even beat out Andre Roberson for the starting SG role in OKC. :mindblown:

Also, remember that the Cavs had NO center and NO bench when they made the Waiters deal...and they didn't just get JR (a much better fit on both ends) for Waiters, they got JR AND Shump AND a low 1st-round pick who they turned into Mosgov.

But you're saying that keeping Waiters >>> getting a starting SG, starting center, AND your backup swingman. :aicmon:

And then have a battle for 3rd option on a title contender between Dion Waiters and a teenager who had never played an NBA minute and choked in his only NCAA appearance.

:heh:

Does everyone here actually remember that in Wiggins's last game of 2014, he went 1-6 for 4 points and 4 turnovers in leading the Jayhawks to 2nd-round tourney upset loss to the #10 Stanford Cardinals?

He was shut down by Josh Huestis. :picard:

He had to let Tarik Black and Conner Frankamp take over for him. :francis:

He was dominated by a team that starred Chasson Randle and Dwight Powell. :gucci:


And three years later, he has still yet to play a single meaningful game since then.


You think Lebron was supposed to bet the rest of his career on THAT teenager? :comeon:

And Waiters. :russ:

Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
"He's a 32-year-old who has played 14 seasons in the NBA and sees his basketball mortality in front of him. He doesn't have any time to waste, and that's all Cleveland is doing right now."

This sound like the NBA version of 30 something year old broad with baby fever about to leave her nikka because he ain't ready to start a family and put a ring on it :heh:

shyt so dramatic and extra :dead:
The story of LeDrama brehs :lolbron:
