I have no idea what his plan is tbh...I thought he was going to stick around in Miami.

lol of course it relates. when you build an all star team and you don't win and youre a FA...there's a chance he leaves again.

And this has what to do with your interpretation of his moves and motives under the guise of "the public" or the establishment of new expectations that have been there for years?

You niqqas are creating coli business rules.

We see players demand trades, get coaches fired and hold out until they get new contracts literally all of the time. But apparently the worst, most bytchmade thing you can do is sign with a new team as a free agent without setting up proper grief counseling with your ex-GM. It's obvious this only a problem becuz Lebron did it...

Ill put $1000(and not coli cash) that he stays and give you some odds

its dependent on how the playoffs unfold. I have no idea what happens...I just think its interesting how everyone's so confident he's in Cleveland for the long haul. If Lebron were to get destroyed in the Finals again, we'll see how patient he is with Cleveland.

But you just did....

And cool to "who"? You're putting value into Riley's feelings? That's the ONLY thing you can say matters because he didn't HAVE to say "I don't know what I'm going to do."

You niqqas are creating coli business rules.

He didn't have to say it...true...but...why wouldn't he? What would be the purpose of it? What does he have to gain?

Yall nikkas act like Riley was asking Bron to ride to Kings Landing, approach the throne, get on bended knee and beg Riley to allow him to leave...:mjlol:


All slick back was asking for was a phone call...that's not very much to give a person who rewrote your legacy as an NBA player...or are we forgetting the part where Bron hadn't won any titles until he went to Miami...

Even more funny is the fact that Riley was one of the driving forces getting Bron Wade and Bosh on the same team...

You can't give the guy who was the architect of your 2 time championship team a phone call?:mjlol:

What is the code word white people use to describe this behavior..."fatherless"...yeah that's it...that's a "fatherless" move right there...

And certainly we all know that Lebron leaving Miami wasn't about any basketball related stuff...it was about him wanting his friends to have high ranking positions on the team and he wanted a piece of the team and Micky and Pat wouldn't give it to him...which is why he went to Cleveland...because Gilbert would...

Who's mad? There's just little upside in deliberate bridge burning.
The bridge closed with the end of the contract.

Your focus seems to be on ensuring that Riley's ass was hugged, caressed and kissed enough before Bron said adieu. Nothing else carries any business value. Riley chooses to be butt hurt. not Bron's responsibility to make sure Riley doesn't cry.

Amazing. Dudes in here saying "burning bridges" as if their interest is in ensuring Bron has a good reputation. I would say its about you guys CARING about Riles feelings but you won't admit to that so it has to be about Bron being liked down the road since you guys are certified business advisors.

Can't believe this needs to be posted in here....but it's BUSINESS

Well now you're exaggerating.

As far as the bridge goes, we just have different views on best practice. Just because it's technically closed(contract ending) doesn't mean you burn it down.

Why does that bridge matter to you? You care that much about Bron's image that whatever bridge he's working on needs to remain intact?

:childplease:

You don't give a damn about that bridge other than creating one to say Bron is wrong somehow.

Screw this bullshyt, man. This is rubbish you're posting.

People like you and me need to exist. Otherwise there would be no balance.

Breh stop :heh:. Only people that need to exist for balance are people that are fair and call shyt how it is regardless of their bias or preference. Jumping on one side and foresaking all reality and evidence and logic to fight for that side and needle people who don't hop on that side, whether in jest or not, does not contribute to balance.

I could actually reason with this if you didn't hug his nuts so much.
