I think so. Will be a nightmare if you double Lebron and leave Simmons MORE space to drive to the basket.
I know why Lebron don't like Gilbert the letter, his support for Trump and just an arrogant bastard
But I think the main thing that will keep Lebron in Cleveland is he can just give Gilbert a list of demands and Gilbert will meet them and Big bank Dan don't mind spending a billion dollars in luxury tax to bring in LBJ's buddies Melo might be a Cavalier next season[/QUOTE]Youre bugging. Nobody in their right mind would even consider bringing in Melo. If I had an expansion team with all scrubs I still wouldn’t take that nigga. Melo is a proven loser. He doesn’t make anyone better at all. All he’s good for is chucking up shots. I remember some years back, the knicks were hot garbage. He goes down hurt and they put that chinese nigga in. Suddenly they are winning games. The minute that nigga came back they sucked again.
If melo was on the cavs this year, they would’ve got swept in the first round. He makes teams worse. Just look what he did in okc.... he’s another Vince Carter type of nigga...score points by shooting 25 times a game and never win shit!

Listen. If Bron wants to win more chips the easy way, he's going to Philly. After KD pulled is bitch shit, no one would care if Bron went to philly as long as he doesn't do that 2010 attention whore shit. We know he won't.
Even if he gets a chip this year, I support him going to philly and turning GS to dust for sure. Fuck KD.

we cannot ignore one VERY important point though...
Simmons cannot shoot for shit.
that is a little bit important in today's NBA.
Been watching Kyrie. Cavs were shit before Lebron got here. When Lebron was here and didn't play, cavs were shit. It's just hard to explain with Kyrie. Talented as fuck, but he won't get you wins on his own.
Folks thought the coach turned Kyrie. Turns out, he can do it without him. Talented team. I'd give the team to Tatum before Kyrie.
But Lebron can. Let Simmons handle the ball.
Simmons handles the ball. Lebron goes sets up shop. At this point, it extends lebron. He practices more catch and shoots. He can be in the post more. It would work.Surrounded by other shooters Sixers WILL get to the finals with Lebron. Period.
As a Cavs fan, I have to accept it.
LeBron isnt going to Philly. Hes going West. The NBA is undergoing major movement this offseason. Dont assume teams that are up right now will be up a year or 2 from now. We are going into a new era with new superteams led by young stars.
Would mean less driving down the lane for Lebron your right. Leave that to the younger Simmons.
Im ok if i never hear that song again in my life.
Tobe Bean is a such a fucking bitch ass diva. Hes the one giving film breakdowns like hes fucking Naismith, offering unsolicited poor advice , and now he feels the need to rattle off his resume and tell people hes busy with other shit.. What a fucking insecure clown this guy is.
This is what hurt them his stat line.
None of these are going to happen.
Paul George is going to the Lakers.
LeBron James is going to the Lakers.
Chris Paul is going to the Lakers.
Lakers are going to clear a lot of cap space this offseason and they already got enough now to sign two max players before they clear extra cap space.
LeBron always said he wanted to team up with Chris Paul before he retired.
Better trade would Demar DeRozan to San Antonio and Toronto gets Kawhi Leonard.
As a Raptors fan I would like this.
lebron has a blank check any org he chooses to go to
Why the hate? Details is a good show and all Mike is going to do is hate on LBJ. Kobe gave him props I don't understand.
Plus all the ninjas that beat Bron, Kobe beat in the finals (Dwight, KG, PP, RA) Kobe beat, and the team that took out Kobe (Mavs) beat Bron.
Magic >>> Stat Paddington
Lakers aren't getting shit.
PG is staying for that max check
LBJ is staying in the East where it's easy to win
Randle is going to take a nice check from Dallas and play at home with no state tax
Kuzma is going to try and be Kobe jr
Ball will average 13 8 7 for years
Magic and Rob will try and do GS cause they can't get free agents

Boston played a weak Bucks team and s overrated 76ers team. It is not like they beat some very good teams.
Actually them losing on the finals prove they can't do it without him
Basically Houston used the only formula to beat Golden State. It is the same formula the Cavs used on steroids. Slow the game way down by shooting with a few seconds left on the shot clock, which severely limits possession. Play physical defense on the wings and switch all down screens and pick in rolls which disrupts the motion offense.
After you ugly up the game you need to great iso players who can make tough shots down the stretch like Kyrie/Lebron and Harden/CP3.
Details is self congratulatory fluff piece to ego stroke a has been while poorly attempting to keep him relevant. Tatum took Tobes advice and proceeded to have his worst two games of the postseason.
And tobe has lottery seasons, first round outs, sweeps, and 20 and 17 win seasons on resume. Bron dont got none of that.
Who is Stat Paddington? Tobe? If so, i agree.
We dont know if they would have done it with him either. But we do know without him both teams got to the same points they did the previous year. Thus, his added value appears to be ZERO.
Consider that terry rozier went 0-10 from 3 and made 4 fucking points as a point guard.......are we gonna act like kyrie could have did worst?
LeBron took a team that was new at the tradedeadline to the finals.
Won in 4 elimination games.
Won a game 7 without his second best player and facing elimination in game 6 only had his second best player out on the court for 5 min before getting concussion.
Swept the #1 seeded Raptors who had the coach of the year.
And not to mention one of the key playera in the trade deadline was rodney hood who has been a fucking dud.
This guy is Goat

But we cant just focus on one game out of the 20 they played this postseason. Terry played at a very high level all postseason and was very important to them making this far and winning the previous two series. He has also been a much better defender than Kyrie ever has.
Um bro LeBron wins easily with that bulls team. People forget when Jordan retired Bulls won 2 fewer games and still went to conference finals without jordan and would have went to the finals if it wasnt for a bad ref call on pippen. LeBron leave clevland they are certified bums and lottery pick team. Put jordan on this clevland team he is not going to the finals
Yes he did play well and he still would have played well if Kyrie was there marcus smart would have just been buried deeper in that bench.
LeBron has the highest VORP in NBA history. Much higher than MJ in the regular season or playoffs. For some reason, this metric gets ignored on BGOL to keep a narrative going.
I know why Lebron don't like Gilbert the letter, his support for Trump and just an arrogant bastard

I think if Lebron let's them know early he's staying....there will be some big shit happen in Cleveland....I'm talking
trading the pick and players then signing a free agent
I'd say he dude resign early, one of these would be in Cleveland...
K. Leonard or P. George
NBA playoffs: Jayson Tatum discusses THAT dunk over LeBron James ‘I had to get him back’
LEBRON JAMES’ Cleveland Cavaliers emerged victorious in last night’s Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final, eliminating a youthful Boston Celtics team spearheaded in scoring by rookie Jayson Tatum who produced a monstrous dunk over the King during the fourth quarter.

Tatum produced a monstrous dunk over LeBron James in the fourth quarter
The 20-year-old had an astonishing year for the Celtics, stepping up after Gordon Hayward’s broken ankle in the first game of the season to seize his opportunity.
His form continued into the postseason as he finished agonisingly short of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s long-standing record for the most amount of playoff points scored by a rookie; Tatum needed just a single point to tie the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on 351.
During one memorable play last night, the former Duke prospect rose high to throw down a monster dunk over boyhood hero James, bumping chests with the four-time league MVP as the Boston crowd at the TD Garden went wild.

Tatum finished the game with a team-high 24 points
Discussing the dunk during his post-game press conference, Tatum said: “I had to get him back for the two shots he hit on me in Cleveland.
“I meant no disrespect but I was just in the moment, I made a play and just showed emotion.
“This is my first year in the league. I grew up watching LeBron and asking him to follow me back on Twitter, going to his camps.

James shared an embrace with Tatum after the final buzzer
“In my first year, to be able to compete against a player like him and be a few shots away from beating him and his team and going to the championship is something I’ll always remember.”
Speaking after the game, LeBron James admitted this had been the most difficult season of his career, leaving fans to speculate that his future lies away from Cleveland.
But the 33-year-old reserved special praise for 24-point man Tatum, claiming he is “built for stardom” after sharing an embrace with him on the court after the final buzzer.

Philly was a red hot team with a great defense on its way to the finals until they got beat and suddenly became an overrated team.
