    We just need you to recover and get healthy this offseason. Come back ready to play at least 70 games next season. Thats ALL we need… theres already too many cooks in the front office, don’t need you or Lebron trying to flex your GM brain

    He needs to stop playing like Chris Weber and Pau when he was Gasoft. Holding the ball and shooting jumpers. ISO ball. Not a top 5 player 90 percent of the time. Even when he played, the team was not a playoff team this year.

    Freaking Pels, Wolves, Spurs!!! Really? With Bron, Russ, and others most of the year. Pathetic.

    i don't know...lebron only played 56 games himself. if you told me before the season that lebron would miss 1/3 of the season and AD would miss 1/2 of it, i'd have had us below .500 overall, wouldn't you? the extra 10 games was the unexpected part that i chalk up to russ being really bad.

    I don’t know what happened to his 3 ball but he needs to find it. This year he shot 18% and last year 26%. YIKES.

    find it or stop shooting them. iirc, his corner percentages have been consistently better. why not limit attempts to those? there are plenty of sets that could utilize AD in that spot for portions of possessions. anyway, yes, his 3pt AND ft %s are down the last couple of years. he was 85% from the line three years ago and is 80% on his career, but 72% the last two years. so it's a whole shooting thing. didn't we bring his boy penberthy on? for this?

    anyway, to his credit, he did cut down on the three attempts this year when it was clear he would never be making any. but with his stroke and past performance, he should be better.

    we finished 10th lol...i don't get why you keep throwing the trade thing at me, i havent advocated trading him but i be open to it if the right pkg comes along and no one knows what that pkg is. with our cap situation, we're gona see more of the same team next season and we know bron n ad will miss chunks of game, thats a guarantee

    If he can't find it, he can just become determined to dominate from the elbows down.

    We may have to find some goons to eat up regular season minutes at the Center position to preserve AD. Unless of course the team is infatuated with spreading the floor to appeasing Lebron's statchasing.
