2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

Prime Lebron or Kobe or Jordan out..no championships were getting won with those teams. This particular team would actually be better with AD, instead of Lebron, even though it wasn't exactly built with AD'S best interests in mind. Anthony Davis is a DPOY, 1st Team All NBA caliber talent, there aren't many of those around.

 

Lol..the man shoots a career 40% from the field and 30% from 3. Yet you still continue to harp about his shooting? That guy is going to the HOF..Everything is not all about shooting LT. If Hield was all that, why is he being shopped yet again? You are also focusing on what's best for Lebron. Surround Lebron with " shooters"!! He ain't that dude anymore man. He's still a hell of a player, best suited as Robin not Batman IMO.

Get out and run, get another high end big, he doesn't have to be a superstar, just as long as he can defend. That is the magic formula IMO. Lebron can score and fill in the blanks as needed.

 

Hahaha dog he shipped out Kyle Kuzma and KCP. Try using that search function and see if there were any Kuzma trade machine ideas.

 

You're seriously a troll about this. "Jammed up on the inside with Russ vs Opened up because of gravity with Buddy didn't even register with you or you think that little of honest chat here to continuously ignore things said to you? Screw that man .... it sucks that's a constant part of your style here.

 

That jammed up stuff is overblown. When exactly was that the cause of a Westbrook team losing in the playoffs LT? What series was this? This is all you keep coming up with..a hypothetical theory that Westbrook's lack of shooting is the cause for his team losing a playoff series. It's not true, but this somehow makes me ignore, that it really is the issue?

 

Would have happened last year had we made the playoffs with that suck a** roster and not having any room for error with it and Russ being Russ.

 

he was horrible in this series https://www.basketball-reference.co...nce-first-round-thunder-vs-trail-blazers.html

shooting 36% from the field

that was THE series that made the Thunder realize it was impossible to win with Westbrook and decided to blow it up.

even you can agree that shooting 36% from the field over 5 games is abysmal, no?

 

Guess you conveniently forgot that we were not able to bring Caruso back because Brick took up too much money. THREE CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYERS.

 

Dude just admitted that he backs Westbrick because it “pisses people off.”
That’s the definition of a troll.

 

Oh..it could have happened, because you are convinced that it would? You are about as stubborn as I am. Lol

 

Hey man, I thought 36% was great!!???

 

That isn't trolling. I could just let those comments go and play along with the crowd for likes. That's not how I roll, if I disagree, I disagree. It's an added bonus if it pisses folks off. I'm still waiting on your master plan if you were Rob. What would you have done over the summer last year differently. We are all arm chair GMs right now.

 

No..we chose Tucker over Caruso..it had nothing to do with Westbrook, we would have let him walk with Hield. We were still over the cap and needed to replace Schroder.

 

Depends on how he looks..beastmode AD? We are going to the Finals...the West sucks this season. Might not win a chip, but I don't think we lose a 7 game series to any of these teams in the West. Hobbled AD? We might win a series, put up a fight in the next one. Depends on the matchups. I do believe that we will offload Bev,Nunn and something to improve what we have tho.

 

He also avg 22pts 11 assists and 9 rebs. Shooting isn't everything. Guys are in the HOF based off of their assists and rebounding too you know? OKC never tried to trade Westbrook, he asked out.

 

I'm not in bizarro world though like you with your takes on WB. Nor would I troll for the fun of pissing people off. Seriously get some help for that Russ thing you got going on. PM @abeer3 maybe he has a connection in Houston area.

 

The finals with BeastMode AD this year!?!? Let’s get realistic, Lebron is not putting pressure on the front office by telling the media post game he isn’t up for losing at this stage in his career if HE feels like we just need AD to be healthy. We have plenty of armchair GMs in here, but let’s listen to the dude that is top 10 all time in games played. Lebron clearly doesn’t see this as a finals team and I trust him more than any one of us in this forum.

 

No..you just have the Westbrook problem man. I'm not trolling, I'm pushing back on the over the top stuff. I'd rather talk about whether Lebron 's game is good for him or the team right now. But EVERYBODY always wants to talk about Russell Westbrook .

He was actually pretty good in Houston tho he worked well with Harden. All that aside, they had absolutely zero shot at beating Lebron and AD. That's why Harden dipped, if he had stayed, the Rockets would have beaten Phoenix IMO. Got mauled by Milwaukee tho, too small.

I really expected Darvin to play big this season, I admit that I totally misread that hire.
