They may have, but the lack of deal came down to Boston's offer being perceived around the league as superior, whether or not that is true. If we...
The league doesn't own the franchise anymore, so they can't block it. Everyone knows the real reason the NBA vetoed the CP3 trade was because...
I think this is a much more reasonable take than expecting or asking him to become KD lite, which is the only thing I disagree with.
Sorry if you felt I was being condescending towards you. @LTLakerFan was saying I had no authority to speak on the topic and questioned my lack of...
Shooting can be improved, but it's unlikely to improve drastically after that many seasons of poor shooting. The counter examples you listed are...
There were posts talking about how he is similar to KD and I was refuting that point, I'm not sure what you're upset about here. When I criticize...
While Rondo is not playing good defense, I think is one is partly on the coaching staff. Lots of good teams have average to bad defensive PGs -...
Ingram is nothing like Durant other than being tall and lanky. Durant came into the NBA shooting 87% from the line. Ingram has yet to crack 70%,...
I've explained a lot of why I think the way he plays in this system isn't optimal won't make him into an all star type talent. I can comb through...
Against the Grizzlies, I'll give that to you. But overall this season, he definitely has. Let's see how he plays against the Pelicans tonight.
Eh pros think a lot of things, both right and wrong. Appealing to authority in this case isn't a valid reason. And if you want to play that game,...
Not saying he's satisfied, but this clearly isn't the squad he wants to roll with long term. Otherwise we'd see Rondo, KCP, McGee all locked up on...
He's playing well, but how well is that translating to team success? Not saying he isn't trying hard, but look at how he gets his points. Often...
I didn't say he wasn't expecting it, just that it wasn't as big a priority compared to his max FA plans. You can read a quote from him from this...
It was never playoffs it was always cap space. Otherwise we wouldn't have signed 1 year deals in the summer? Makes sense? If you think it was...
I don't think the goal posts ever moved. It was pretty clear from the summer. If that weren't the case, we would've signed better players to...
I think you're reading too much into it. Magic has a point. LeBron plus shooters won't win us a ring. At best we'll be a worse version of...
He's scoring, but disrupting the flow of the offense to do so. I don't think it's optimal for the long term success of the team. He needs to...
I don't think missing the playoffs was a goal explicitly, but the primary goal was to have cap space to sign a max FA this summer, and that was a...
The main goal was to get guys on 1 year deals and hopefully allow the young guys to showcase their development alongside LeBron. Everything else...
