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

:whew:

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.

how u figure? that team has 4 all stars with 2 of them being arguable top 5 players in their prime.

they can lose a star and probably still be good enough to win a ship.

Why would any player be okay with being traded there if he hasn't committed?
That is not a response to what I said.

My question was why would LeBron James commit? Nobody in LeBron's position, with any sanity, would commit. Why work your whole life to be the greatest in the world at something and then just give up your leverage like that? Particularly to a person/group of people (Gilbert/Cavs) who have never shown the ability to do great things without you in the first place?

Gilbert is just using that shyt as an excuse anyway, and there's enough people who dislike LeBron to simply go with that narrative anyway. :yeshrug:

But to answer your question, players get traded all of the time whether they're okay with it or not.

Lol what do you even mean by "leverage" in this case? The stated purpose of signing short term deals was to keep the team accountable for spending and team improvement (which worked, they made every trade, signing, and fired/hired every coach he’s wanted)... Logically, that leverage was reversed the end of last season...After that, refusing to say whether you want to stay with the team (the whole time leaking stories about your flirtations with that team and this team) makes it irresponsible for any front office to make decisions assuming you're coming back... Basically, if Bron cared about having the best shot at winning this year and with the cavs in the future... He'd commit so the cavs know to plan for having an all-time in his last prime years instead of preparing to rebuild once he leaves them high and dry with all the signings he forced them into (like the ones Bron stans cry about all day now... JR AND TT) ...him not committing makes it impossible to trade that Boston pick...not committing does absolutely nothing for him at this point except provide damage control for when he quits the team this summer ...”hey, I didn’t tell them I was coming back “

I think this is normal. It's a long season. I think Celtics have their number this year.

Lebron playoff finals streak ends.

Thats his right to have the leverage but he needs to understand nobody is going to want to play here and the organization isn't going to trade away picks to get him help. He's just hurting himself unless he's planning his escape already.
