    No way! Way? You were aware of him and watching some games far back as HS? Wow. That’s LeBron level foresight. ;) But I believe you. :clap: :cool:

    No idea why we didn’t get him more involved in the offense in crunch time. Lebron did great overall, but it felt like a huge step back to revert to Lebron hero ball in OT.

    That’s why I loved AR’s midrange shot in OT. It felt like him saying “Screw it, I’m the baddest guy on the court and I’m not going to let my team lose no matter what the hierarchy is supposed to be”

    So here’s the story, Reaves conceived a plan to get his a** to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant style. After not being called in the 1st round, he rejected Detroit’s offer that they draft him in the second round. Then he rejected all non guaranteed offers and demanded guaranteed contracts only from other teams :LLLLLebronlaughing:except when the Lakers came calling and he quickly accepted a two way contract, then somehow got into the pre season scrimmage with LeBron, where he came out with a fully guaranteed two year contract and now we’ll have to pay a minimum of 50M.

    Yeah our scouts are great but this is Dr Evil level of manipulation .

    A bit annoying they stopped running plays for him but that was probably due to the injury.
    Real s*** kicker there he was really cooking before he got hurt

    You’re right and it’s probably even a more healthy compulsive activity than others he might choose.
