Appreciate the dude who built this squad, fought for extensions for bums, then chased off his second leading man, then got half of the squad traded away but then don’t appreciate the dudes he cherry picked. Smh

Can’t really blame Lebron for the cap jumping up one season and not continuing to steadily increase. Lots of teams signed terrible contracts that year. He’s not the only one that fell for that.
Wiggins ain’t helping this Cavs team anymore than Love let’s be real. Unless you think he’s developing better in Cleveland than Minnesota he’s not that caliber of player.
Rest of the moves are on him tho. End of the day it’s really about Kyrie. With Kyrie as a second option, a guy that can score and shoot and create off of and independently of Lebron, this Cavs team cruises to the Finals this year and next year. Lebron isn’t blameless there either though.

I am just wondering if he'd work with CP3. CP3 doesn't seem like the easiest person to work with and LeBron is basically the 'PG' on many plays. Would CP3 be cool with LeBron having the ball in his hand.. Harden dribbles 20 times and holds the ball 18 seconds of each shot clock.. how would that work?
Lakers are young.. true. He needs Superstars around him for sure for this to work in any way, shape or form. I'd love to see him in Purple & Gold though - but I can also see Houston or the Sixers make sense. Sixers don't have the Superstars though, they got young lions but then if he wants to be with young lions moving to the Celtics would make the most sense.. and I don't see that happening (they could offload Hayward though for starters..)

Tonight was a weird night since LeBron didn't play as much, also the rest of the team (not counting Korver and Love) barely contributed. Against a team with many people scoring in double figures and a backcourt having 40+ points vs the 3 points of the Cavs backcourt.. this had little impact.kevin love had 22/15 but hes still no help

It makes total sense. Teams commonly include their franchise cornerstones in decision making.It simply doesn’t make sense
LeBron has a very strong pull in the moves that are made in Cleveland. Year in, year out.
The roster and team that is in Cleveland, it's not what he was simply "given." He helped craft and handpick the "talent" on this Cavs squad. Even the coaching change in 16.
Now they're old, unathletic, not making shots, and title window closed.
This is what happens when a player has so much say in roster construction and puppet head coach placement. Guys like Kerr and Stevens run circles around this clown Lue.
But ya, "it simply doesn't make sense."

I'm not sure you can call what Lue is doing a 'rotation'You see the rest of the stats
Kover was playing great should have left jr on the bench .
Lue rotation at points be fukked up !!!
He gotta recognize what's working !!!
You're right: for a reason nobody will ever understand.. he put in J.R. Smith when they needed buckets most...
When bron signs wit philly this summer? I agree

I think the chemistry with lebron and cp3 will happen quicker than expected. Idk about harden but I think lebron off ball and his influence will be enough to help cp3 change that style of play. To some extend same with harden. I believe more ball movement will be come of that team and very less of ISOs.
As for the sixers, Embiid has too many health concerns and Bron been down that road. Granted CP3 is worrying but he’s more proven. Embiid came into even these playoffs with a injury. Ben Simmons has no jumper and probably won’t have one next season or a reliable one. I don’t think lebron has time for them to grow.
