RUMOR: some CAVS players have doubt they will win the title

[GoddamnyamanProf]

@Gil Scott-Heroin come put this boy back in his place.

He's already busy begging for my attention in about 4 other threads right now

 

[TheNig]

Cavs send
TT
JR
Unprotected Nets pick

Grizz send
Gasol
Evans

Cavs get 2 starters that play both ends and Grizz get to go full tank mode and another lottery pick.

What say you LeGM?

That's a top 7 pick right now. A lot of teams would want that joint.

The best thing Gilbert did this season was make it public that LeBron wouldn't commit.

Nah... I think you're just scared of him becuz he's always frying your ass.


You still have the GOAT avi tho.

 

[Kinguno]

If I'm Lebron I fake an injury and retire

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Nah... I think you're just scared of him becuz he's always frying your ass.

He's autistic and you'd have to be also to come to that conclusion. Lol at "nah" when it's objectively a fact that my inbox stays flooded w dozens of inane mentions and quotes. He's not a well individual and beyond ignore status at this point.

So you pass on maximizing your last shot at a ring... for Mikal Bridges?

You're saying all of that to say that he be frying you.

You were so quick to call me "shameless" on some pot-kettle shyt. Difference is I own that shyt. I don't like LeBron. Who here doesn't know that after 5 1/2 years? You're the one that will try to mask your Warriors hate with "objectivity".

Point is this: You're full of shyt.

 

[Marc Spector]

if Lebron wasnt such a selfish a$$hole (and he's my fav player of all time), the Cavs could be loaded and ready to compete for a title next year.

If he committed to them long term, they could move the Nets pick,TT, and JR for assets. And even IF theyre not finals bound this year, they'd have an entire off-season with Bron, IT, Love, Crowder, and whoever they acquired to re-up for 2019. And shyt, if they fukked around and actually got some coaching talent AND Bron agreed to move the ball more? They would be there with the Warriors come June 2019.

Or Marvin Bagley or the big kid from Texas or whoever.

Why would I mortgage my potential future on some more old nikkas when the 2nd best player in the world won't commit?

Like all trash people, your assumption is that everyone is just as shytty a person as yourself and if they aren't they must be lying. :jagfan:

Nah, kick rocks

I really have to ask who and what is he waiting for? No situation guarantees beating the Warriors. Every other situation requires shedding alot of what makes current teams successful (No Way the Rockets wouldnt have to shed a few of their key "trenches" guys ala Capella, Gordon, or Anderson to gain Bron).

Brons like the one nikka who has 5 kids by a good woman but refuses to marry her so he can still legally cheat. Yeah those hot, exotic, young broads look good now, but the best situation you have is the one who is currently holding you down. Just fukking marry her because you will not do better.

*and even if Lebron finds another young team with young scoring Gods and moveable young assets (like the 2014 Cavs..) we eventually get back to where we are at now. A team that has to mortgage its future to accommodate Lebron. After seeing how the Cavs will possibly be decimated (and how Griff was let go), what GM will really want to have to make that decision?

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Yeah im just comparing their skillset where bron is kinda in the middle of MJ and Magic. He's not gonna try to will his team to a win like MJ or even Kobe because he's more likely to pass to open teammates whether they're hot or not. His skillset is just different which I don't have a problem with While I don't expect him to be Jordan I can't excuse the lack of defensive effort especially compared to Jordan Now I know Pippen took on the best wing player to give MJ a break but even when lebron draws a lesser defensive assignment he's still too lackadaisical for me at times He has to to a better job at setting the tone on defense for these guys. They shouldn't be getting blown out like they were in consecutive games

I don’t think he’s got the legs to be the guy who sets the tone on defense anymore. He’s a 15 year guy who’s played somewhere around 52,000 minutes and has to do so much on offense that it’s not reasonable to expect that from him anymore. Admittedly I haven’t watched much of them this season, but it seems like every time he sits that the offense has a hard time getting any open looks, a lot like how they would struggle when he was off the floor in previous years. I think he’s got the legs left to play well on offense and well on defense, but I don’t see how he has much left for defense anymore when he has to carry so heavy a load on offense.

Because you have a legit shot to be back in the Finals this year. Even a #1 draft pick is not a sure thing.

Better off putting proven talent on a championship quality team than hoping the big kid from Texas will be a star.

Bet the whole franchise on getting a ring this year cause the Cavs will never make another ECF without Lebron let alone get another ring.

Even when they put him on lesser players there's been times he's put zero effort. I'm not asking him to be kawhi,klay,or draymond but don't let @Buckeye Fever drop 50 on you

Nah, kick rocks

Rather I'm a shytty person or not is completely inconsequential. The fact remains that whatever I am, I own it.


You don't. Therefore you are lying.
