    yeah, we've beaten it to death, but it's pretty hilarious that the only team he ruled out is the one that is the best fit for a variety of reasons.

    he's not going to escape not being in control or not being the top dog. in basically every situation, he'd logically settle in as a third option offensively, the same thing he balked at here. i'm not sure him joining any of those teams would make them better than our team + him.

    i bet we'd have stretch waived knecht and vando and/or cleared cap room to give him more money if he'd have just considered us, too.

    whatever, partly for reasons like this, i'm glad to be out of that business.

    Agree. Take Bronny with you. We need to cut total ties with the James family.

    I hate these guys.

    It's a pity because Bron is such a legend of the sport. But he's unbearable

    Honestly think there's a tiny, tiny chance he comes back and part of the delay here is us trying to dump two players for nothing.

    GOAT= go on another team. I just heard this. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but that’s great.

    still not buying that the choice wasn't made a long time ago. i DO think he's waiting on whichever team he chose to try to make more moves before he signs on, though.

    I will be pretty surprised if it isn't Cleveland but we will see.

    Side note - I must say that Rich Paul and Max Kellerman podcast is pretty awful even for bad podcasts.

    :D This s*** is a joke at this point. Attention loving drama queen. Dude could sign with the Spurs and easily win a title next year, but whatever, drag the return to Cleveland out
