LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

Don’t mean to be all grinchy, but Bron, LeRevenge SZN about to start and instead you getting a rise for Skywalker...bruh?!?

 

LeBron needs to just STFU

And dribble... And shoot... And pass.

 

Trade his a** back to Ohio

 

Need another shot creator

 

He's old...

 

Wow he looked old today. Just didn’t have it. Can’t imagine what it looks like when Clips get PG.

 

Defense...he had it!

2pts, 2asts and 1rb away from a 20 piece tripdub.

And you still want to add starting PG responsibilities to an about to turn 35y/o?

Bron @ starting point gawd...yeah, not a fan of it unless the postseason ain’t for you.

 

not much different, imo. fewer touches for lou? their defense will improve, but you can't much more efficient offense than lou gave them tonight, and you can't have them shoot the ball at the same time.

 

He had those lazy passes in the 4th. Didn’t seem engaged at that point

 

you act like his problems stemmed from having to handle the ball against backcourt pressure or something. not what happened. it's the same game he's always played, he just played it badly tonight.

did have some great defensive sequences throughout, though.

 

They need another shot creator. Guys like Green, Bradley, Cook and Daniels can hit open 3s but can’t create the space.

 

LeBron James said the Cavs aren’t done making moves after the likely acquisition of Kyle Korver and declared again that the team needs another point guard. “We still got a couple more things we need to do,” James said Friday, when asked if Cleveland’s pending trade with Atlanta for Korver was a “championship move.” “We gotta get a point guard,” James said. “It’s my last time saying it. We need a point guard.”

Yeah, he said that 3 years ago while he was in his prime and had playmaking all stars like Ky & Love.

 

i mean, good luck. you and AD make the cash, and no top-notch pg was available to us, so you've got what you've got. he won titles with mario chalmers--who basically exited the league immediately after leaving his side. i just don't see how what he did tonight is extra wear and tear. if we want him to stand in the corner on 1/3 of our possessions, we probably shouldn't have signed him, tbh.

clips rode kawhi hard every second he was out there, and he's got a bum leg that probably won't ever get better.

 

Agreed. Better ball handlers/shot creators needed. But those were some lazy passes that caused turnovers.

 

Obviously shouldn’t panic after one game. See how the squad looks after Caruso and Kuz come back.

 

Kept us in the game with some good defensive plays, but he looks slow and stumped on offense. Gliding to 20-8-8 doesn't mean anything to me when you're not found in a crucial part of the game.

 

Definitely looked either lazy or uninterested at times. Not enough passion. Heard legler say it might be because he wants AD to take over. But we aren't there yet King.. keep your foot on the gas brother.

Good news is.. on his ig.. he said he owes us. So I feel he knows he wasnt his best.

 

A few things, Bron had AD to burden the usage, while Kawhi didn’t have his usage running mate. Bron played nearly 5 more minutes than Kawhi. And lastly what’s the age discrepancy and career miles between Kawhi and Bron.

I mean why are you guys so eager to kill him and our postseason chances. If you extrapolate what he did last night through the remainder of the regular season, he’d need to be Rick James, otherwise our playoff chances will take a blow with dude running on E.



As for PG options this summer, there were many of the vet min variety:
Burke
MCW
IT
Mudiay
Frazier (AD’s guy from Nawlins)

You could also grab McConnell, Ish, DRose, Payton with less than Kcp money. And before the klutch tax comes into discussion, AD’s trade kicker would have been a better tax to pay or let’s not forget that in pursuing Kawhi with the max, there was no supplemental 8.2m to give out. The klutch tax is fake news.

And of course there was always the trade route using our cap to acquire salary ballast along with pick incentives. Dragic comes to mind.

Anyways, what he said...

And all those guys can’t hit open shots unless it isn’t created for them. So Bron, get your lazy a** off the pine and go earn that check in October vs May.
