    I’m not talking about the trade part, I’m talking about how AD said the whole “this doesn’t really feel like a real championship” nonsense. I mean seriously AD where was that five years ago or heck even two years ago?

    Makes me think there was more inside information into why we traded him in the first place.

    why would washington not even try it out after all that? unless AD doesn't want to be there?

    can't imagine you can flip him for better assets before anyone sees him actually play for a while again.

    His contract is so big. Wish there was a team who could eat buying him out lol. I bet he would resign with LA

    AD would rectify most of our issues, except health.

    we sold high

    I don't think we can ever do better than what we got, and I don't think he tops 50 games very much for the rest of his career.

    For a max player, he is no longer desirable to me. Has to be for less.

    A bit weak from AD to be honest

    only reason we got kessler is we had the threat of signing him to the offer sheet. not possible when lebron and AD were eating like 80% of the cap combined.

    next dumb argument from lebron's press mouthpiece.

    Jeezus that’s a big lot with a tons of water needed in LA desert climate. Probably utility bills eating him up needing to keep it all green to sell it.

    It's good to have goals.

    It's also good to have a pay structure not based on your availability.

    feel like 40+ wins is pretty uninspiring?
