The Whole LeBron Took the Easy Way Out Narrative

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Wade's a top 5 player.

Go on somewhere.

If he's so bad, trade him him for another SG

Nobody is going to trade for a deteriorating SG who can only play 60 games a season who said he might retire if LeBron isn't there to carry him during the regular season anymore.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

He took the easy way out, but do to the success of the move, we're now ready to rationalize after the fact

Wade is a top 5 player?

He averaged 15.9 PPG on 46% shooting in last years playoffs, and 22 PPG on 45% in the year before that.

This year, Wade couldn't play on B2B and had to be used sparingly until the playoffs abnd he's now averaging 19.1 on 52%.

Gasol averaged 19 PPG on 58% in the playoffs and 10 Rebounds per game. If Wade is putting up elite numbers than Gasol is putting up elite numbers.

And nah, why trade Wade? He's a Heat player and an icon. We keeping him forever, even if he was averaging 2 PPG because Miami stay loyal.

But what other option did he really have? You're right in the fact that what he did was unprecedented, but he did what the Cleveland front office couldn't do for 7 seven years. Find some capable teammates.

And the East being weak has more to do with poor management than 2 players leaving their teams imo. Hence, why LeBron left.

Him and Bosh coulda went somewhere, him and Amare coulda teamed up, he coulda went to chi with Rose. He had other options. He had every right to leave Cleveland too though.

As far as the East goes, yeah poor management was responsible for the way it was before the big 3, but them 3 joining put two top 5 players(at the time) on one squad and put another top 15 player(at the time) on the same squad. It weakened the already weak talent pool. This shyt is always gonna be debated

 

[Malik]

Okay breh.....Pau Gasol is a better basketball player than Dwyane Wade....You're right

:outbackcac:

 

[Draje]

And does everyone notice how @Malik deflecting with some "Well them just trade him" BS?

Keep telling us how 15.9 PPG on 46% is elite numbers but Gasol's wimpy 19 on 58% is scrub numbers!

I think him going to Chicago would've been more dangerous then him in Miami. They wouldn't have the rebounding and size weakness there and him with a healthy D. Rose .

And don't get started on that defense

:outbackcac:

Look at this deflection! I said Gasol performed better in the playoffs, as a 2nd option, than Wade did. Wade was injured for both ring runs.

So Wade right now is the same Wade that was playing in 2006-2009?

What you're arguing is as stupid as saying Kobe sucks because he couldn't win with the likes of Nash, Payton, Malone, and Howard without looking at the context that they WERE NOT the same players they were in their prime.

That spacing would be garbage.

 

[Tha Gawd Amen]

That spacing would be garbage.

I don't think it would be terrible.

Boozer could've stepped out to 15-18 ft assuming they wouldn't have amnestied him.

They could insert whatever shooter they could've found at the 2 before Jimmy Butler came along.

Assuming LeBron still develops that post game they could've played a 4 out 1 in set running pick and rolls with Noah.

It wouldn't be anything Like Miami's 5 out sets but I don't think it would've been garbage.

But who knows, it's all just what-ifs and speculation at this point

 

[Malik]

You be in threads like when Bron goes off for 45 points, Wade 28 points and Bosh 20 points but now Bosh/Wade aren't elite players? They aren't a crucial factor in Miami completely overwhelming teams when their offense starts clicking? Having a guy who can drop 40 on your head and another guy who can get you for 30 and another guy who can hit game winning 3's with a split second release is just an everyday thing huh? Okay.

They're great players. Wade, when he's healthy, makes the Heat unstoppable. Wade hasn't been healthy during a playoff run for 2 straight years and had to be Fukkin rationed out for entire season to get him ready this year.

Again, Wade averaged 15.9 PPG on 46% during last years playoffs. Are those elite numbers or not?

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I'm not even arguing that he should have stayed in Cleveland. That Cavs were and forever will be garbage. He did need to get better players around him. That being said Miami was an obvious overkill. With that insane talent paired with one of the weakest eastern conference eras if all time in has mad it ridiculously easy for him to the point where it's not even impressive.

 

[trollol]

What was he supposed do? Wait for Dan Gilbert to get him help?
You see how inept that front office is.

I hope you're not one of those guys who think Jordan or Magic or Bird did it by themselves

you lebron stans are corny as hell

no 3 players in their prime like the miami big 3 tried to stack the deck AMONGST THEMSELVES to win the titles... thats the big difference you stans dont understand

lebald, d whistle and posh spice all planned that shyt... instead of wanting to beat one of his biggest potential rivals to a championship... bron wanted to team up with him

no heart and no competitiveness in that at all... he can win 6 championships, it doesnt matter... and kobe, mj, duncan all >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bron
