    It’s just years of wear and tear. He has a bakers cyst. It’s just excessive wear of the tendons that leaks fluid and that fluid takes up a lot of space and causes the swelling. It’s painful and the swelling can cause other problems but you can play through it if necessary.

    This is all true, great explanation. Bron will face more of that - if not this year, then next. Nothing you can do about it, it's just his insane "mileage".

    That’s why I find it silly when people suggest we punt away seasons. Lebron at his age is still significantly better than Donovan Mitchell, Lavine, Booker etc etc. I don’t see the point of hoping we get one of those in 3-5 years, rather than trying to maximise our chances of winning now.

    I do want to note, I’m not suggesting we sell low on assets or make trades just to make them. I just don’t get peoples suggestions of shutting down AD and Lebron for next season.

    A baker's cyst? That's what I always get when I go to the bakery, one of those yummy cysts or better yet, a cyst with bavarian cream.

    I had a baker’s cyst when I was in second grade that was huge and popped up almost overnight. I don’t remember any specific injury that caused it and I was way too young for it to be a repetitive motion kind of thing. I ended up needing surgery and getting it cut out. Never had any problem since.

    i haven't seen many suggest shutting guys down. but i'm firmly in the "all transactions must be made while thinking about next year" mode. i just don't see a path this year without extreme luck (like last year's injuries, but to everyone else) on our side.

    Uhhhh, we weren’t the ones who traded away half a rotation for an I’ll fitting player who has not delivered.

    Man thought he AD for the alley oop to end regulation. Instead he bailed the Knicks out with a 3. otherwise was great

    I love the pumping, roaring, flexing and mean-mugging he does against the likes of Sacramento, Orlando, 12th place Knicks. Want to see that same energy against the elite teams

    It won't help. Only if we can clone him 2-3 times.

    Lebron might go back to Cleveland for a last season in 23-24 .

    I wouldn't be surprised
