    It’s not that hard to dislike LeBron! He gives you every reason to do so .

    ADD? Paragraphs and punctuation a concept too far? Maybe it’s the glass always empty. Everything you read or hear says you need lots of liquid.

    I don't see what you guys are even talking about. I guess that's a good thing.

    if he has time at 38 to troll his All Star teammate, he is a super petty person. This makes no sense.

    You know what I would suggest you do.

    As you as you get up in the morning, say out loud: LBJ is GOAT. Then, go to the mirror in the bathroom and repeat it. And just say it all day long.

    It is a truth you may attempt to hide from, but you can't. You should also buy an LBJ jersey. Rock it. Wear it with pride.

    And remember, he is the GOAT.

    I will gladly take a lifetime Ban If LeBron still here after next yr!

    I will gladly take a lifetime ban if LeBron even wins 1 more title in LA ! I am going easy on him cuz no way he is winning 2.

    you said he wins 2 he becomes the goat .

    He can win 5 more titles, he will never be better individually than MJ and Kobe. Those two are the greatest skilled basketball players in basketball history. End of story.

    I don't know why people think Derozan was a thing. He would not take the mle and we would have had to hard cap ourselves to do a sign and trade. That means we'd still have to sign a bunch of scrubs to fill out our roster and we'd still have lost Schroder and Caruso for nothing.

    The only option that we passed up on that was realistic is Buddy Hield for Kuzma and Harrell. We could have re-signed Caruso with his bird right and kept KCP and even Schroder if we wanted to.

    The Derozan thing came from him and Lowry both saying they wouldn’t mind teaming up again “perhaps maybe in LA?”. Also I think Lebron reached out to him over the summer before free agency.

    The Hield trade was a real thing. Like a trade was already agreed upon but the last minute Lebron told Westbrook to go to the Wizards owner and ask for a trade to LA. I remember Kuz came out and said he was already packing for Sac before he was told about the trade for Westbrook

    Yes that's what I recall. We had Hield locked up but then went with Westbrook out of no where.

    Derozan was never realistically in play unless he took a MASSIVE pay cut

    In this case, I don't think it really has to be valid for LeBron to troll Russ a bit about it.

    I don't think many of us thought the Demar thing would happen. I didn't but not just for the salary cap reasons. I just don't believe anything involving us and the Spurs until it actually happens.

    DeRozan was a bit of pipe for him and for us. As many have detailed the reasons why. Spurs would not have done us any favors trading him here so it was MLE or nothing and even he admitted he wasn’t willing to do that.

    yeah, derozan really wasn't going to happen.

    but letting caruso walk and not even pursuing any s&t options with schroder to recoup some value there both stung for me and were purely financial moves created by the russ contract absorption.
