LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

You guys like it around that campfire .... dontcha?

 

@abeer3 .... don't you suppose the single year contract with LeBron and no more 1+1 with PO was simply the new Walters ownership instructing Jeanie/Rob that THAT crap was over with? And then letting Klutch say whatever the hell they wanted to say to not lose face .... like it was LeBron's idea to pressure the FO to improve the team now?

 

That's what I'm thinking. That new ownership said no more 1+1, or if they do, then at reduced price and/or no no-trade clause. LeBron was offended, opted in, and RP said that crap. The only way it makes sense for LeBron is if he actually wants to be traded to NYK or somewhere...which I would welcome for the assets, to be able to trade in the future and not lose LeBron for nothing.

 

Anything that is tradeable in a year or 2 for Giannis or another star. Either KAT, or Anunoby & MitchRob from NYK. If Cleveland can somehow get under the 2nd apron, Allen & Hunter. For the hilarity...Gafford, Washington, and Klay? Although that would hurt if DLo, Christie, LeBron & AD win a chip since they have Flagg and Lively next to them.

 

possible that it came from above, but also possible that rob just realized lebron's leverage was gone. POs are sometimes necessary to entice people, but we don't need to entice lebron. nobody has had max space to sign him, and he won't take paycuts for us, so if he wants to for someone else, screw 'em.

rob may also have used new ownership as a cover for his own idea. i've heard he's a reptilian liar, so that's possible. but then it would make him smart, which isn't possible (dumbest gm, factz).

yeah. lebron has the no-trade, but there just aren't many terrible contracts out there. i take anything but terrible contracts because they don't leave us with absolutely nothing. though if lebron were to walk next summer, we can just use cap space to, theoretically, snap up a couple starting caliber players and/or restock some trade assets.

 

"Shrewd moves Rob!"

--Lebron (Probably)

 

Are you building a canal so I can kayak right up to it?

 

If we want to win, he would be third fiddle this coming season.

 

Guess that ruins lebron chances of being a Knick with the mike brown hiring

 

if winning was the only thing, lebron would be playing for less money in a hybrid draymond/horford role. but it's not. legacy is #1. winning helps that, but it's trumped by billing in various forms of the word.

 

3rd fiddle to who? This Lebron stuff continues to be ridiculous.

 

i think he meant reaves, and my like was really about the fact that lebron can play a tertiary role on offense given our current personnel, leaving him more energy to expend on defense, where we need the help. particularly at center, where he outweighs like, half the starting centers in the nba lol.

 

Pretty much this or at the time I was thinking of a possible trade. Not meant as a knock on LeBron. Doesn't take much to stir up the next...lol. Plus if LeBron is pushed too hard he will be injured by the end of the regular season. The guy kind of has to be treated like butterfly wings at this point.

 

Take a pull of a cold Alaskan Amber. Will help with the anxiety...lol. Basically LeBron needs to be protected from injury. The LeBron is a God and time has no meaning on him is pretty ridiculous as well, injuries have mounted.

 

Speaking of Amber, when I first took a sip of Full Sail Amber, it was like heaven in a bottle.

 

We're like half a decade late on his exit. He should've have been gone a long time ago.

 

LBJ now has a new toy to work with
