I mean, Alabama won a 'chip again with Saban. :ld:

For all we know, Draymond Green gets a murder charge for being in a shootout, KD gets a career threatening injury, Curry's wife gets mad at him for seeing his jumpoffs, and Klay Thompson gets depressed. :manny:

I'd imagine it's hard to form any kind of irrational "we believe" type confidence when your leader is a verifiable coward who has a record of quitting teams and shaking town when the cards aren't substantially stacked in his favor... The entire organization, to a man, suspects he's outta there this summer... Which means management isn't moving that Brooklyn pick, the rest of the roster is playing uninspired, Bron is playing for stats trying to cheese another MVP on his way out while not even pretending to give effort on defense, and kyrie in all his woken brilliance is looking like a clairvoyant for taking control of his own destiny and getting the fukk outta there instead of wasting a year being bron's pawn after the original play to have him traded fell through

The Decision III will be Bron's championship this year

That’s what any sane person was saying back when Kyrie left but Bron Stans in their massive ignorance said he was a fakkit for not wanting to be stuck on the sinking ship after Bron left him in Cleveland this summer :mjlol: You can’t reason with them morons.

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?

Could’ve had Kyrie, Wiggins and Bron.

Will end up losing all three :wow:

you nailed it, Cavs should've called kyrie's bluff and made him the bad guy if he sat out for a trade


instead Kyrie is the leading MVP candidate in Boston :win:


I feel like it would’ve went down JUST like that if it weren’t for the Cavs front office being in UTTER chaos after Gilbert refused to extend Griffin. That was an absolutely TERRIBLE decision and I don’t blame either Kyrie for wanting out or Lebron for refusing to commit to the Cavs alon such murky ground.

The fact of the matter is all of this, every single facet of it comes down to power. Lebron has the power in that organization and, for better or worse, he has to deal with all of the bullshyt that power entails.

When Gilbert went to Bron about trading Kyrie for George and Butler; it didn’t matter if Lebron wasn’t the one who set it up or asked for it or even agreed with it. The moment that happened, and presumably Kyrie’s fate was in Bron’s hands, it was a wrap. If Lebron, using common sense said “two all stars for the price of one. Can’t turn that down”. Then Kyrie would rightfully think to himself “I’ve been playing with dude side by side for years, we won a chip, I hit the game winner. If he don’t want me around then I’m gonna leave on MY terms”

You can’t blame either man. That’s just what you deal with when you are the King.

I like Bron but this yearly drama :snoop:
Once KD went GS its been over, lol at them just realizing this. They still need to tightend up. If a warrior gets injured, its anyone's game.

I'm positive that Lebron was the one who said this and told those specific media members to phrase it exactly like that and say its anonymous. He wants the Cavs to trade that pick so bad.

I don't see anything out there that can put them over the top though.
Came in to say this. Figured it was all the Rich Paul clients, so LeBron, Thompson and JR.

I'm really curious to see how Rich Paul does once LeBron retires. Seems like he's burned some bridges around the league. The Cavs aren't giving his clients any ridiculous deals once LeBron is gone. Noel's in a terrible spot right now with the Mavs. He overplayed his hand with KCP and now that guy's gonna be lucky to get $8 million/year in the summer.

It's gotta hurt to go through the motions of the season knowing that there is no Championship ahead...
Breh, that's what EVERY team in baseball except for about 10 of them is about to experience in 2018.

Yup those guys (maybe not TT :mjpls:) and Wade. They clearly are trying to pressure the FO to swing for the fences.

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. :wow:
Why the fukk would LeBron commit though?

Have you people never had leverage in your lives before? Probably not actually.
