    I think Bron has 2 years left at this level. He's has great size with great court vision so he'll still be effective but father time hits you fast, Lebron wont be exempt.

    Why don't we all write off LABron so he forces us to give him more respect through a 3 peat ;)

    if we're smart, we keep enough talent around him to start lowering his minutes all season long AND in the playoffs. CP3 is NOT the answer. for what you pay this guy, and for the high mileage he has, he's still only human.

    Nobody defeats father time no matter how much cryo you do. To squeeze the most out of what is left, I hope we start load managing a little more intelligently. Time for AD to step up as the main scorer, and we need a PG that Lebron is ok with running things so he's not handling the ball all the time.

    Running the point at 36 for heavy minutes is just crazy. Rest up champ. 2021 is coming at your fast.

    super interested in how the CBA negotiations will affect next year

    we'll all thinking as if things are normal, and they aren't. There is no ticket revenue, so the current pay amounts are not sustainable.

    I thought we managed his minutes well but I get your point , especially with the next regular season likely to be shortened by 3-4 weeks .

    The league wants teams to play 4 times a week , it's not a good thing for the players health

    His total minutes per game should start going down for sure. If we move toward the Stockton model, his career can be prolonged. Doubt he's willing to. You know Kobe wasn't.

    They've got bird rights on KCP so they can exceed their cap to pay KCP since he's been on the team for three seasons. KCP won't be a problem. The first problem will always be getting rid of Danny Green. Too much money for what he does.

    Don't know how anyone can hate someone who every season, has a 60% chance to make the NBA Finals. Some teams have never made it. LeBron is like the golden ticket from Willy Wonka. A fast track ticket to the finish line is what happens when you sign this guy.

    Lebron is the 30 Lives Cheat Code in Contra. You can beat the game without it, but it is far easier to just enter the code.

    No one hates his game, it's Lebron's personality and decision making outside basketball that bother people.
