WMC 24-25: Seasonal Highs And Lows!

Has anyone seen Ham mentioning in his post game presser that they don't want to be a repeater tax team? LOL

 

Everything, my WMC is everything

 

lol. zero chance of that happening

 

Blow it up.. Trade AD & Westbrook for the best packages available. Try to get some draft picks back, etc.

 

Last time they beat the Clippers was before COVID shutdown, right?

 

maybe bron would be open to finishing his career in Clev? they seem legit contenders now

 

it was in the bubble right before the playoffs began

 

Does AD have a no trade clause?

 

AD doesn't have one in the contract but i'm sure verbally he has a lot of say. LeBron does have a no trade clause and he isn't eligible to be traded until this offseason.

 

Yeah, and just how well has that worked out for us?
I think this season is going to be so unproductive that LeBronze asks out at the end of the year. Unfortunately, why would anyone want him at this point in his career with that absurd salary?
If you’re Cleveland, why would you want him to come in and disrupt what you have going? You would have to give up too much to get him in the fold.
Great job Jeanie and Rob.

 

Yeah, I know about LeBronze.
AD has pull obviously because of his relationship with Klutch and LeBronze, but if LeGM wants out at the end of the season, our feeble FO will be allowed to move AD.
This is what comes along with allowing Klutch to control your Franchise- when things go South, you can’t make a move without their approval.
Pathetic.
I can guarantee you this, if one of the Buss kids had the strength, intelligence, and balls like their Dad, they would have never allowed Klutch(LeBronze) to gain so much power within the organization.

 

I agree, but this policy is like pretty much set in stone in the Laker culture lol.

 

Ainge looking like GM of the year so far.

 

So, our current culture is based on the definition of insanity.
No matter how many years it destroys any chance of us building a winning team, let’s just throw all the money at “stars” who are past their prime and can no longer lead our team to a Championship.
Fools.
This is why I have stated before and will again that Jeanie is more about making money than building a dominant Basketball Franchise. She has a business mind first and this has overtaken any desire to put in the hard work and actually build something lasting. She thought she could short cut the system and did. She got very lucky for one Bubble Season. LeBronze is her cash cow and she put aside everything else because she knew that no matter what, He would keep them falsely relevant which would keep the money flowing.

 

For now…
Let’s wait and see how it all plays out. He did make the right move by moving Gobert because that guy was played off the floor in last year’s playoffs.

 

not just last yr

 

Personal pet peeve time...

Einstein never said that "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".

Noone of matter ever did.

In fact, it's very much inline with the scientific method to gather more data and eliminate outliers.

I'm so very sorry.

 

It's been ingrained in the culture since the Buss family took over ownership. The most recent example, was that extension we gave to Kobe post-achilles heel. Although the counter argument is that it shows other outside the org that "we take care of our own" and in turn more stars would be willing to come here in the future. That kind of mindset does set back the org multiple years and in the years after Kobe retired, no one came until Lebron (and I think he is the exception to the rule). I mean we couldn't even convince LaMarcus Aldridge to come.

 

Fair enough, but that’s all you got from my post?
