LABron James Discussion: The Final Year?

1.You just made the list.

2.Do you seriously think if Morris is actually having an effect that great on this series, actually “shutting down” LeBron, that his a** won’t have 4 fouls by halftime in game 3 in Cleveland in an effort to make sure one of, if not the NBA’s biggest cash cows isn’t eliminated in anything less than 6 or 7 games? He had 2 fouls tonight in the first quarter and that was before the game was decided and the refs could step in to make it interesting if need be.

 

We've had Malone, Rodman, Matt Barnes, Gary Payton. And that's all in the 90s/00s.

 

Kevin Love- 22.6 million- 14.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 blocks, 39.1 FG%, in 33.3 minutes
George Hill- 20 million- 9.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals in 26.3 minutes
Tristan Thompson- 16.4 million- 5.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.1 blocks in 16.4 minutes
JR Smith- 13.8 million- 9.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals in 32 minutes
Jordan Clarkson- 11.6 million- 5.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.5 steals, 32.1 FG%, 22.2 3PT%, in 16.6 minutes
Kyle Korver- 7 million - 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals, in 25.9 minutes

LeBron James- 33.3 million- 32.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.1 blocks, in 40.9 minutes

Lazy argument is lazy. Salary =/= production. We should know. The highest paid players on our team weren't our best.

 

This edit is way better, gotta give my MaxaMillion711 props

 

Well I know you're not.

But this genuinely is the least amount of help he's ever had. Love is his second best player and he's not even playing that well. LeBron has no Kyrie. He has nothing from his bench. There's nothing going on for that team.

I would be utterly shocked if he stayed with them partly because of this bloated salary. Their only asset is the Brooklyn pick.

 

Objection: conjecture.

There's no evidence Kyrie leaving was because he didn't want to play with LeBron. It's equally possible Kyrie just wanted to spread his wings and be "the man". It's also equally possible that Kyrie was warned by LeBron and his people that he was leaving and that Kyrie should get out while he could if he wanted to.

Objection: conjecture.

There's no evidence of this being true. This is the same type of weird argument leveled against Kobe with Shaq, Horry, Pau, and Odom too.

Objection: conjecture.

This is all biased from your own opinions. There's no evidence any of this happened.

That quote is in a completely different context than Kyrie. That quote was after the first game with the young players where the Cavs won. It was after the Cavs dumped a broken down Isaiah Thomas, an old Dwayne Wade, and a s***y Derrick Rose and had a nice game with the youngsters they just got. It had nothing to do with Kyrie Irving.

Not to mention, Kobe routinely called his teammates soft, demanded a trade, demanded they trade Andrew Bynum, and tried to fight multiple teammates. This characterization of LeBron holds little water when put up against our own favorites.

Well first of all, why the f*** are you listening to anything Broussard says? That's a waste of your life.

Second of all, these players sucking in the Playoffs is LeBron's fault? It's his fault Clarkson's average went from 12.6 ppg to 5 in the playoffs? Was it Kobe's fault that nobody came through for him in 2012?

Not disagreeing. I believe he's fully tanking this franchise with the intent to leave them in the summer. I believe that's why Kyrie left. I believe that's why the Cavs refused to trade their Brooklyn pick. I don't think it's the best thing to do, but I f***ing hate Dan Gilbert because, unlike LeBron James, Dan Gilbert is an actual awful person who made his nut by taking advantage of people during the housing crisis. He deserves a slow, painful death. LeBron leaving him again, strapped to this roster, is going to make a wonderful story.

Who said anything about sympathy? It's not hard to be objective when looking at his team. I didn't buy the narrative the last couple years with Kyrie and Love, but LeBron has no help in these playoffs. It's a fact. Hate if you want, but it's not difficult to see the truth.

If Laker fans can feel good rooting for the C Bags, good on them. I never will. My hate is reserved for those green f***s.

And when LeBron is a Laker next season, I'm going to send you a smiley post every single day.
