    Damn bruh...leave these boys alone.

    Ps. Mintz, if you know whats best, don't have him sign a Mavs offer sheet this summer. Deliver us PG and Jules at a semi-reduced rate please. With the recent "position-less" Ding piece, I'm really comfortable having Jules play the majority of minutes at the 5 and I'm thinking Luke is angling it that way as well.

    I love the way he's playing right now. He's controlled fury and that's where he's always been at his best. He and Ingram have really found their roles. Guys like Lopez, Pope, Hart up until his injury are really finding their fit around Julius and BI. Ball and Thomas are getting back into it.

    The team is really grooving right now. I love it.

    I'd rather keep him and watch him grow to be the type of player to give LLLLL fits in the playoffs eventually.

    we don't need LLLLL on our team. We need to assemble the team that's going to kick his fading a** for the next 7 years if he sticks around.

    Nah. We should add him and George and go after Houston and Golden State as soon as possible.

    We've shown we can compete with these guys in flashes. I agree on adding George, but we have other spots to shore up that need more attention rather than duplicate fading talent in LLLLL that is super high maintenance and cringe worthy to deal with around an impressionable young squad.

    I've provided more than enough evidence that "fading LeBron" is still probably the best player in th3 league right now. :D

    And when we're duplicating exceptional passing athleticism and versatility, I'm pretty sure it's worth it. Would you prefer to spend on Isaiah Thomas?

    too early to comment on either actually

    If LLLLL with his "rejuventated" self and new talent all around him can't turn it into winning, then it's empty stats. If he can't elevate his team and be a closer for them, he'll likely be exposed for who he has always been. His defense is at the bottom of the league, but his ego is at the top. Bad combo.

    For IT? his ideal role is that spark plug off the bench in the 6th man microwave role, but he's so stinking good when he's healthy, he'd have a hard time accepting it. I think Sacramento actually comes calling with a big offer if he recovers adequately. I think he has demonstrated how much having dribble penetration would help our squad though. Is he the right guy for the job? Too soon. Too soon.

    And George and Mintz say to LeBron, "Its all here and going to get better every year. We have enough help for you LeBron. So if you want to come ring chase with US ..... stuff it with any of these other thoughts of needing different players you prefer or you wanting your own guy to coach. Or don't come."

    Are you a Big Baller, Paul?

    Always slow to the party but as always my main concern is keeping Julius. Someone said he is better than the people we used to want and alot more improvement coming. It is nice to have the guy that knocks people around and turns others into crybabies...lol. rather than have the crybaby...

    With Ingram out, I'd think we'll see Randle ball handle more. As of late, I'm okay with it.

    Great game by Julius. Zo will be named player of the game for his 4th quarter performance, but without Julius' effort in the first 3 quarters, we don't have a chance to make that comeback.
