    1. We didn't really have a chance to get Klay so... Dumb.
    2. Klay is already in talks for an extension right now with the Warriors.
    3. Cube wants to wait for players that won't be available so the rest of his point is moot.

    Sorry Cube.

    I know Sirron, Cookie and others are not going to like this but I'm slowly being won over by LeBron... even if he doesn't come here I have a newfound respect for him as a basketball player. He has been ballin' in these playoffs. Big respect for the man.

    At the end of the day, we all make mistakes and unfortunately for LeBron his mistakes and miscues have been while under the insane scrutiny that comes with being one of the great basketball players of his generation. I can't even fathom what that would be like to be under constant scrutiny. So, I'm giving him a pass.

    From the video it seems that he has matured a great deal.

    I hope he comes to LA and transforms this franchise into a championship contender.

    Other than Russell, we got (future)Lakers owning all the top spots.

    ok Grandmama, you talked me into watching it. He didn't come off that douchey in the interview, but Rachel Nichols is a doll.

    The only part you could criticize him for is the semi-sorta blaming his teams for his poor finals records. Just own it leFlop

    Cube says that Gary Payton and Karl Malone were a disaster for the Lakers. Totally lost me there... that team made the finals and I firmly believe that if Malone was healthy they win the title. What a r******* comment to make...

    I wanted to like it since he didn't want LLLLLebronflop, but his reasoning was weak sauce.

    Nash and Howard didn't work out because Nash broke his leg and was never the same. And Howard was soft.

    But hey, he only knows 3 man ball

    Hey Cube, didn't Shaq and Kob come in together. Dude's clearly biased against groups...

    I tend to agree with Cube, which is why I've been harping on the Lebron contact if we were to sign him. Do not want him its it more than a 3 year deal. Even 3 years and I'm a little bummed out. This concern over the contract is mainly about his health and sustainability but also to Cube's point after 2-3 years I want our young along with a PG (if that happens) to take the rains and carry us.

    And as much as I am with him about wanting Klay, that's not going to happen. He's going to take a pay cut and stay at GS. Klay more than anyone is all about comfort and feel. Its not about the fame or fortune. He's extremely comfortable in his own skin and place on that team. A bigger contract or entertainment outside of basketball isn't going to get him to leave.

    In some ways yes, but they'll gain invaluable experience as well. The kind of experience they wouldn't have without him maybe ever, but definitely not for a few years.

    I'll admit the longer this season goes on, the more uncomfortable I am with a 4 year deal.
