LeBron needs more help. Rondo anyone?
Irving and Love for Westbrook?
Irving and love? That's a time bomb waiting to happen.

Do some of you LeBron fans even know how the man plays? Know your personel and know some stuff won't just click.

Lebron needs help? Wow…. .

The guy that is better than Kobe and Jordan needs help? Abeg abeg abeg
The Cavs and Warriors (To a little extent considering the bulk of their stars were drafted by the Warriors) may as well trade for every all star in the NBA so the other teams can just move to the D-League. I am really tired of this mess, the league lacks genuine competitors and leaders.

When Phil Jackson made the comment about Lebron and his "Posses", the world clamped down on him but now i think we can all see what Phil meant. Bron Bron has this ridiculous sense of entitlement, and it is reminiscent of the African American community even amongst the accomplished ones.

The Cavs are way over cap the space with luxury tax tangling on their neck, and rightly so because of LeWhine. Dan Gilbert has built this roaster around Bron-Bron's need and T. Lue has had no say to his roster, no one is even asking T. Lue what the needs.

Charles Barkley put it perfectly when he said Lebron does not want to compete!!! and that is the truth. He wants to stroll to another championship without effort or shouldering the burden, however, he would bully his team mates to the finals MVP even when he was not the best player during the series.

Am not absolving butler,wade or anybody from the matter.
Just that Rondo is no angel.
He already had his beef with the team before this issue and two teams already gave up on him.
If we agree that Wade calling out the bulls roster out,aside from Butler and himself was Bad,how is Rondo counter Any better ?
(Abi is Rondo not also a Vet with championship experience)
Seems to me,his just as guilty of the same offence but instead of "effort and performance"he questioned their "leadership" on the same platform.
If Wade included Rondo as one of the great performs on the Bulls,Rondo probably won't be playing this "white knight card",he(Wade) probably couldn't sell that to the people with a straight face.
Wade had the effrontery to use a picture of U. Haslem picking him up from the floor when he was younger, isn't that ironic and hypocritic at the same time? Has he done the same for the young and inexperienced cats inside the locker room? rather he is consistently speaking about jumping ships because the team sucks. What exactly is Butler learning? Butler and Wade can both leave the Bulls for all i care, because they are parasites.

With the embolden, you obviously do not know Rondo. Rondo is not afraid of anyone, check his history, he would speak his heart out even against leadership. Read Rondo'd post and compare with Wade's and tell me which is motivating, and which speaks the truth?

Wade and Butler's interview had nothing to do with Rondo. Wade only became upset after Rondo sought to protect the young kids in the roster who Wade and Butler were looking to sacrifice on the altar of blame. You don't do that irrespective of ring numbers or experience in the league.

The erratic form of the Bulls has nothing and i repeat nothing to do with Rondo. If Rondo is traded, the Bulls will still stink the joint. The roster lacks scorers, Butler and Wade are not consistent enough to depend on.

I know you're entitled to your opinion but you made some assumptions i don't agree with. LeBron is the face of the Cavs franchise right now and whether we like it or not, he probably would have some kind of influence on management decisions, but to say the Coach has no say on the team is an assumption taken too far.

I respect Charles Barkley but remember that he never won back-to-back championships.

LeBron shouldn't have gone on air to talk about who/what the team needs but the deed has been done. Now, we've got to focus on the message and not the messenger. The Cavs team can get to the finals with this team but the question is, Can they beat SAS/GSW with what they have now?

P.S LeBron has been the best player on his team whether or not they won a championship and He has won back-2-back championships before unlike Barkley. So according to the numbers(he's got 3 finals-MVP now,remember!), he is a Competitor!

Where have you read about T. Lue building the Cavs roster or being asked before a move is made? Shouldn't T. Lue be crying wolf like Bron Bron is currently doing? What input did Lue have with paying JR, Shump, TT, Jones and the trading of Delly?

Chuck was very unlucky when it came to winning a ring. Charles was one of the best players in his era, he was very dominant especially under the rim.

I've never read about it anywhere and I've never been in any of the board meetings as well. I'm just a fan expressing his opinions behind his computer like everyone else.

I respect Barkley and he agree with you that he was one of the best players in his era and I bet you would agree with me as well that LeBron James is the best player of his era.

@roland17
Am almost certain that Wade instagram post na fake.

Rondo Isnt new to me,also the young guys were not the only one that didn't look good from what Jimmy and Butler said.

That means Rondo contribute less than nothing to the team then,whatever role that he was suppose to play his clearly not up to it.
Why are we suddenly attacking Jimmy buckets now?
If he was the only one shouting at his teammates and Wade no chook him mouth I don't think this story gets any traction.Wade's hypocrisy is a factor in why people are so angry.

We a know he is a very strong competitor but sometimes what he says belies that fact.
If you're going to put your organization on blast your hands must be clean and LeBron hand this January,no clean.
if na the plenty minutes be the problem,talk to your coach.

This Barkley na straight up agbaya. I think i know why Barkley & Kenny Smith are constantly taking shots at Lebron, kenny Smith & Jordan played together in NC

Barkley & Jordan are long time friends and these guys will try to diminish Lebron every chance they get. SMH.

For the past 7years, He been playing every game. Regular season, playoffs and finals non stop, you think it's easy? . Tell me any player who has done that for the past 7years, I'd wait.

He needs a playmaker to help cut his minutes. He is leading the NBA on minutes per game at age 32.. (37.5MMG) you think its that easy??

While this post makes little or no sense, Barkley spoke the truth whether Cavs fans like it or not, whether he had back to back or not. Y'all were salivating on the Korver deal and enjoying endless orgaśms from the finals and forgot a Back Up PG is what y'all need. Splash money on LeBron and his Posse and Tristan Thompson (didn't I tell you about the Kardashians factor)? You were saying nothing fit happen. cheesy
I just hope y'all get the backup PG or playmaker if at least you will own up to the fact that 2-8 wasn't as a result of playing more Western conference teams.

LeBron caused all of this. He should have said it behind closed doors like some other players. I don't even care if a 32year old player playing alot of minutes asks for help to ease the burden on him. I just want a repeat!!

What does any of your Warriors player knows bout getting it back to back?? grin

Lola,

What role does poor Coach T. Lue play in this debacle? I feel like he has been rendered irrelevant in the scheme of things. This is quite worrisome considering he would be expected to churn post season results irrespective of who is on the court.

Why is T. Lue not crying wolf about the lack of players or the madness going on with the organization/ locker room?

You never hear em cry to the league to ruin a finals series or cry out that they need superstars..
Makes me really want to ask myself.

Does LeBron truly loves competition? Does he? Got beat by 6 western conference teams and then it's no longer "just regular season". I need help, I need a fúcking playmaker.. Chai!!! To chop L no good.

Lol. Put some respek of T.lue's name. His impressive and frequently dominating 10-0 start to the playoffs, the one- or no-pass offense that the Cavs ran in the regular season were gone, the alternating isolation sets of LeBron and the offensively brilliant Kyrie reallyyy evaporated.they found pace-and-space nd ball movemnt best in the playoffs, bringing in Frye and sending Varejao to the Warriors to blow their lead together, etc

And as for him keeping quiet at this time, He know's they're above the salary cap, so there's no need for him being the crying wolf. He's the coach, he should know who to trade away and who to bring in.
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 11:45pm On Jan 27, 2017
The backup PG isn't going to get minutes if we get a warriors-cavs final.
Delly no see reach 10minutes for the whole 7 Game series last season

You're just a scared warriors fan who doesnt want the Cavs to make any changes to their roaster to you can beat them in finals. They need a playmaker for the bench not for Lebron !! He is averaging the most min per game because he has to play with the bench.

Lola, answer the question Sircumalot asked you. Delly that was the back-up PG last season how many games or minutes did he play in the last playoffs?

You know your man is making excuses. Accept it.

Is the embolden really happening? Are you genuinely convinced T. Lue has had anything to do with the tradings and why the Cavs are over the caps space?

Truth is, Dan Gilbert has given Bron Bron everything he has asked, and that includes driving the team past cap space. Yet Bron wants to cast Gilbert as the devil for failing to invest in the team.

He wasn't the most physically gifted guy and couldn't score at will but the dude had tons of heart and he never gave up. He provided relief for Kyrie coming off the bench and he was our spark plug.

Never forget our first final series with the Warriors when Kyrie was out due to an injury.He was a lock-down PG and was like a fly on Curry.
