Ask him how Kobe's "influence" of bringing in Antoni to coach, Nash, and Dwight worked out? How far did they Big Four (Kobe, Nash, Dwight, Gasol) go?
How has Lebron's "influence" as de facto GM worked out for them so far, though?
Hmmm a Finals appearance. Ask the GM of any team outside of Golden State if they would like the same level of success this year if given a second to switch places.
Yeah, that's exactly what has been floating around up here(concern about his back and shoulder). Seems like Love coming back isn't all on Kevin Love. Before, it was a given the Cavs would offer max. Supposedly, that isn't a given anymore.
People have always been concentrating on whether or not Love wants to stay. They always assume Lebron ....err Cleveland would offer max.
When they show the Cavs bench....
All that dead weight...Shawn Marion,Miller,Brendon Haywood,Perkins...and none of them could give them anything?
Get NBDL players who could at least get up and down the court.
I think Marion and Miller could've provided something
Marion for sure
Haywood and Perkins are big slow bums tho
Yes keep that same team
I want zero excuses next year when the mayor Steve kerr'd these niggas

The original deal was for CP3 and Kobe didn't exactly go hard for Howard. In fact, he made Howard's life miserable on the team. Kobe sucks as a GM "influence." Exactly my point. Great players don't always make for great GMs.The Miami Heat big 3 was a no-brainer.
You actually think other coaches/GMs envy losing in the finals?
Weren't both Irving and Love injury prone BEFORE this past season. That wasn't a clue?its his fault love and irving got hurt?
and even then...they made the finals
golden state not making the finals next year breh....
its almost a given the cavs will tho
because of how trash the east is.
I kept wondering why Marion didn't get a shot...
Sad.....you can pencil...actually write it ink now
*fixed*
Cavs missed the playoffs the last 4 years. It didnt get easy til a certain player showed up.
Nah it doesnt work that way. Lebron was still in the moment "if" he said that. Give him a chance to cool down and he'll say their run was impressive. Remember he also said that he didnt expect them to go past the 2nd round this year. Besides that, its still impressive since some franchises havent been to the finals in decades. So from winning less than 30 games last year to doing that in his first year is a major accomplishment. Point being, those acquisitions he made worked. If they were healthy they would be holding the trophy right now.
no, the east is trash. everyone talking about the warriors not having to face love... the bulls didn't either did they?
shit kyrie was sitting out games against the hawks and they swept them....with the same "bums" everybody were praising 2 weeks ago as integral and key to the success of the cavs.
and now everyone is playing and saying they just some dudes off the street.
remember 2 weeks ago when dudes were saying oh shump and jr all they needed was a chance and to play with lebron? delladova was cac #1?
people trying to play mosgov like he didn't totally change the cavs season because he brought defense and rebounding
and then trying to play the impact thompson had on the cavs in the same area
today all you hear is lebron and a bunch of bums
2 weeks ago they had enough to win it all
The West is trash, a team that ran that conference had their toughest time wit an East team down 2 starters.
Pelicans, Grizz, and Houston were alot easier.

did they really have a tough time? lebron did the impossible. its a testament to how great he is. he put up iconic numbers. numbers so great people wanted to make him the mvp win or lose
the warriors got down 2-1 to a lebron playing all time great basketball. what is the saying a great player will get you 1? well a transcendent player will get you 2. and then dominated the series correct?
when they were down 2-1 to the grizzlies people couldn't wait to call them pretenders
just like when they got down 2-1 to the cavs... no blowout games might i add... and everyone was ready to call them dead.
both times they responded by winning 3 straight and winning the series.
Ohio sucks as a state and does not deserve a championship ever.
They will only get top players who were born here and never by choice. They pulled Kemp and he almost ate himself to death due to t he depression from being here.
Ohio just won a chip

yeah i dont understand that, i think west was just as trash this year also
They were favored to win in 5 games. When Kyrie went down people were calling sweep. It took 6 games. And all but one was highly competitive unlike some of the blowouts we saw in the West playoffs. LeBron dominates the East just like he would if he played for a Western conference team. Itd be the same result.

nah you could put the cavs in the west and theyd be a top 3 seed
if anyone else in the east played in the west they dont make the playoffs
#EastStillSucks
Here's what he said.
I agree the acquisitions work on paper, but my first thought when the Love talk started was "injury." Sure enough, he got injured. I'm not saying Lebron shouldn't have influence on who he plays with, but players pressing for acquisitions and firings has a hit or miss history. Would you come back with this exact same line up and rely on them staying healthy for a run at a title?
and this is your problem in a nutshell.
lebron is the greatest player of this generation and got the team to the finals
in a weak ass eastern conference.
what team in the east has a chance at the playoffs in the west?
none
1 player isn't the entire conference. but because the conference is void of talented teams he will keep going back to the finals
right re-package Love lmao... I knew that shit was a terrible idea from jump... I know Bron thinks about that shit now...
Period
LeBron could join any Western team and take them to a Finals. I like Bron in Memphis, Houston, or even Portland coming out the West. Who in the conference would stop him? Durant? Steph? Kawhi? Its not about the Cavs, theyre a lottery team without him. But pair him with any Western team and yall gon be calling the West weak too. When he becomes a FA he should seriously consider it. Competition in the West is not as fierce as u project.
Sorry but a healthy thunder team would of obliterated the Warriors. Same goes for the Spurs. The Warriors while I feel Curry is that dude were lucky as shit this year.
Would you come back with this exact same line up and rely on them staying healthy for a run at a title?
I would man. I dont see anyone getting this unlucky again. This was historic bad luck.
Nah give Warriors they due, they won 83 games this year. It wasnt no fluke, and at this point San Anton is overrated. OKC might not ever be healthy if Durant dont get right.
yeah Q, bball players with bad feet are a disaster. sadly, we mightve seen the best of KD
Rondo still can't shoot & his defense has been trash the last few years, so I don't know why they would want him.
They could not sign Rondo as they don't have the cap space
They could not sign Rondo as they don't have the cap space. Nor could they sign Carroll because of cap space
