SIRcumalot:
these guy are remembering things different.
Remember Tristan took less than the max.
J.R in his first F.A opted out of his contract to test the market and he wasn't properly courted so the cavs lowballed him and he had to sign for less until after the cavs won the championship.then he had all the power.
Any decent Agency would have gotten the same for their clients.
what I find very distasteful is how the NBA allowed an active player to have his own sport agency at least don't allow him to sign NBA players.

A40:
Omo who do you guys get tho? Maybe you go to Euro League or call Gilbert Arenas. Haha

The Cavs have no cap space. They are neck deep in luxury tax. No P.G worth a damn is coming to the Cavs cos they just can't pay em.

If Lebron and J.R took just 4 mil less there would have been enough to hold on to Delly

Well. Its so silly when the king drops a triple double, Irving drops 49pts and Love puts 16rebs and still lose to the Pelicans without Davis. It shows how weak our defense is. I don't think a backup PG is the issue, a reliable center is, not the weak a** TT.

We'd bounce back against Sac tonight.

Donlittle:
if he didn't force his team to give couple of players crazy contracts,they won't be in this position. He made his bed, let him lie in it.

SmooshCHN:
If we talk now they'll say something else..

LeBron shouldn't be complaining about needing help.
And where's Kyrie in all this? I don't think the Cavs need anyone else. What were they thinking before taking Kyle Korver or didn't they have enough 3pt weapons with Kyrie, K.Love, Frye, Jones and Jefferson?

The only difference these days is that almost all teams play with so much confidence and toughness.

A40:
Make he go sleep. After securing exhorbitant deals for the clients of a member of his 'posse' and of course a monster but perhaps deserved deal for himself where are the Cavs going to get a decent PG. With which cap space? Is he aware his team already has the highest payroll in the league? He better make that team Work Work Work Work Work

SmooshCHN:
LeBron why

SmooshCHN:
That match later sweet ooo.. See drama upon drama..

Zaza flagrant and stand over Westbrook (who flops anyway)

After the match, Russ tells Enes Kanter "Don't say wassup to that bïtch ass Nigga".

When asked about his in game banter with KD
He said "what talk?"
Are you on speaking terms with KD?
He says No!!

About Zaza standing over him..
He says "I didn't know he was standing over there but I will get his ass back".

He's still a Beast tho

Manutd19:
I don't think Durant leaving OKC is totally because he couldn't win there. He wouldn't say it but I believe he left cos he didn't want to play with Westbrook anymore. He knew that and chose the best place to play the way he wanted and win as well. Just my opinion.

At least he didn't do a show to announce his decision. Lol

A40:
No hoops disciple would say they don't recognize his greatness. Maybe the magnitude is what we are disputing

1) Lmao at he took a pay cut. Who didn't? Ojebi. He for no take am na. He needed a ring to validate his career and legacy. He didn't sacrifice zilch. Wade did. That was his team

2) Lebron also lost in the 2nd round twice in 3 years prior to joining the Heat.

3) He also won it with the Cavs. Difference is he didn't even get to the Finals (in his MVP seasons) which means those so-called superstars pushed him over the line

4) He was the star of the team with two other guys averaging 18-20 pts. The firepower plenty. He should have been 4/4 in Finals with the Heat

5) There's a Yoruba saying 'Ona kan o wo oja' One road no enter market. Some want to build camaraderie others are all about winning

Wade put his ego aside and gave Lebron the keys. He didn't have to

Lastly Durant's decision is no worse than Lebron's its the height of double standards to argue otherwise. Joining two of the top 5 draft picks in your year? And you are the best? the King? Come on bruhh

lolawilliams:
Fanstatic performance for Korver today. 18pts off the bench, 70% FG, 67% from 3's..
Warriors, Ya ready??

lolawilliams:
Ver good. KD's decision will always be worse than LeBron's decision. more reasons.

6- The 2015 Thunder are overwhelmingly better than 2010 Cavaliers and everyone knows this, he gave his heart and soul to the Cavs night in and night out from 2003 to 2010. Carried them on his back with memorable performances in the post-season. All the while being defeated time and time again because he didn't have enough help around him in Finals. OKc is a fully stackd team

7- LeBron had an aging Shaq and Antwan Jamison to fall back on along with Mo Williams. Compare that with the 2015-16 Thunder who had Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Steven Adams and Enes Kanter to help Durant. The diff is just too much

8- He once tweeted this " Now everybody wanna play for the heat and the Lakers? Let's go back to being competitive and going at these peoples!"... Lol WTF, when did he bevome a politician, lol he should have sticked to what he said.

But i can understand he needs a ring

A40:
But you Lebron fans make it sound like one man can do it all ALONE despite the fact that he ran to join 2 of the top 5 players in his draft class. Chei and to think it is still una wey go gather dey criticize Durant dey always turn my belle.

These were some of Shaq's numbers in the Finals. 38/16.7/3.8blks another Final 36/12/4

That was Kobe's Finals MVP competition who played at Center and closer to the basket.

No competition between Kobe's West and the weak East we are seeing now. Since Lebron entered the league the East has won fewer titles. Even more than half of the titles the East won were as a result of at least 3 superstars aligning. Compared to Kobe who competed with the Mavs, Spurs, Suns and Kings (one of the best teams to never get to a Final)

What of in 2011 did he give his all? 2014 nko when his counterpart was shooting over 60% from the perimeter what did he do about it?

Lebron is a great player but when he wins he did it alone, when he loses its cos he didn't have help. This is my argument with his fans

chic2pimp:
He has already surpassed Kobe's legacy. If He were to retire tomorrow, most pundits would consider Bronny to be the better player of the two

A40:
I don't know about padding stats. Kobe always did the needful to win

You had to earn Kobe's trust. It was all business with him. And it wasn't all talk. He always brought it every night and never quite understood why others didn't do the same. Wanting to take the clutch shot is just Kobe's DNA. He was ready to take the blame when things went south. As it should be when you are the best player on the team.

For me Lebron has played in a weaker conference with 5 all-stars for half his career. He would have to match Kobe's ring total at least before I consider him better. My opinion

A40:
I think Lebron has never been hated or derided like Kobe. Kobe was the ultimate pantomime villain. Lebron did not get real hate till The Decision.

Kobe is many things but not a diva. Maybe a ballhog. (I don't know how ballhogs average over 5asts over a career. Kobe was never fake humble or fake nice like Lebron. Kobe was a real nigga who didn't send you or need your love. His beef with Shaq was over Shaq's work ethic. All Kobe cared about was winning and if you were not on that page you couldn't co-exist with Kobe. Just look at Howard he's probably going to retire without a ring, now compare him to Gasol who put his head down and pushed him to help the Lakers to two rings

lolawilliams:
Lool. I was so shocked when i first saw the list, i thought it was fake i search other site to check to confirm the authenticity and found out it was real... Zaza over Cousins and A.davis and karl looool.

Korver happy lowkey he wont get sweep by the Cavs in p/offs like it happened for the past 2seasons. lool

korver is a good pick, just think about when JR gets back HOLY HELL!! , the Cavs already knows who they will be meeting in finals and its obvious the team we got cant beat the Warriors in finals. Now that we copped us a 42.9% 3point shooter. I just hope we get one last thing which is a rim protector, then we're good to go.

zopaks:
I have been a follower of this thread for long but this time around, I was tempted to comment!



Is this list for real?
WTF!!!

Zaza Pachulia? How many pro games does Joel Embiid have? Are you kidding me!??!?!?!


those niggas have more votes than:
Kawhi Leonard
Anthony Davis
Draymond Green
DeMarcus Cousins
Karl-Anthony Towns
LaMarcus Aldridge
Blake Griffin
Marc Gasol

sapiosexual1:
Well the All Star voting, though largely based on court celebrity power (Ofcus I would vote for a player I fancy watching) also tells us alot. Most of the top picks share my sentiments, my only surprise is seeing my one and only Dwayne (d'flash) Wade ahead of Isaiah Thomas. . If a half broken Dwayne Wade can get ahead of Thomas, then It's obvious he wouldn't get a look-in for MVP as some campaigned on here.

nairamaniac:
a veteran changing teams at 32, 33 years of age wouldn't really be seen as a ring chaser as such.
To me, cp3 has long taken a back seat even in clippers.
IMHO though.

nairamaniac:
At all. At all. Age-wise, he's passing his prime. Irvin would never be a pure play-maker. Cris is 31, may just need a ring at this age. I actually think he would make cavs far more entertaining than they currently are.
Factor in the relationship between him and Bron.

nairamaniac:
happy new year u'rall. This is the most amazing basket ball forum in the world. U guyz rock.

Talking of cavs getting a veteran point guard. Its been my dream to see Chris paul in Cleveland one day one day.

U heard it hear first.

Eruditor:
Yall don't need JR. He is a streaky, volume shooter. Your team has shot well for the most part especially (and surprisingly Lebron). I think my surprise of the season Cavs-wise is K Love and how well he has shot this season. Even though Kyrie gets the next kudos after Bron obviously, I think Love is more deserving.

In the spirit of New Year did I make this post.

Happy New Year peoples. Where is Mizzbeee?

SmooshCHN:
The NBA will get tired of the complaints and do something.
And Isaiah, no assists? We know he usually does his PG job well who are we to bash his shine? His and Westbrook should continue what he does.. That team would always need him. I'd like him to make playoffs and that OKC GSW rematch. There'll be so much fun

lolawilliams:
Well, what you said isnt a lie, he wldnt hve become a superstar as he his in timberwolves now. But he drives to the rim with ease and I believe he'll grow, but honestly, we just cant leave k.love, his defense is not on point, I never really defended curry in game7, I think curry was abit weak, so it looked like he defended the hell outta him.
But I dont think cavs are ready to leave k.love atm. Lets just see what he gives us next season.

Which team do u support?
