2019 Offseason Thread

Yeah, I keep forgetting how the Cavs are the beacon of success.

In their last rebuild did they not do enough to make the roster desirable for Lebron?

Current rebuild is all of 1 year in.

Who was going to Montana?
Maybe call travel agent and re route to Bryan County?

He was going to give it a shot regardless.

Are you serious? If they had no stars nor way to bring one in he would still have come back?

I see no lies. The entire world is sick if bum ass Ryan Hollins

 

[Black Adam]

I'll take your word on that one, after all you do live in the state. I've only been there twice. Fort Lauderdale once w/ my wife in the late 90's for a wedding. And when I was a kid went to Cape Canaveral. And without looking it up I'm not even sure where that place is located in the state.

Cape Canaveral had to have been cool...

I was in Ft. Walton Beach, where the 2 most famous things were the burlesque clubs, and The Hog's Breath Saloon...

Where the fuck did I say Miami didn't want Lebron back?

When I say if you are struggling with comprehension you should ask for help I'm being serious.

where did I say you said Miami didn't want him back? I simply pointed out they had every right to try and get him back if they wanted, but they didn't have a roster that would make him consider a return.....the Cavs did.

Yeah, they just gave him Finals MVP that year because they had voters fatigue with Parker and Duncan.

That team was more of a team effort than a star driven team. You can’t compare that ring to Lebron or MJ’s rings. Kawhi wasn’t the clear cut leader.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I definitely believe Kevin Durant did not speak to them directly.

Why would Marks admit to that if it wasn’t true? Makes him look like he played zero role in KD signing. I would go so far as to say it was stupid of him to admit that even if it is the truth.

So yeah, I believe KD and Kyrie decided where they wanted to play based on their own factors outside of management. I believe his agent got some assurance he would get the deal he wanted and made his decision without any type of meeting. Since his decision was announced before free agency opened, yeah, I believe it.

Then, the details of the contract were worked out when they actually met later.

No response when I roasted you earlier, then back to name calling?

Take your L like a man and stop crying.

LOL when they met later? what do you mean between 6 and 6:05? They worked out that Kyrie and Durant would take less than maxes to allow for Jordan to get 10M a year?

dude i had no clue you were this fucking gullible.

He came back for a few reasons.

1. Cavs won lotto with 1.7%, which meant Love, he and Kyrie.

2. Heat looked old vs Spurs

3. Nike wanted James back in Ohio

4. James hates/hated Gilbert because of the letter, but after meeting with him knew he could run the team for as long as he wanted to stay.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Refer to my post where I paraphrased Lebron's comments about Miami. Didn't matter what we looked like, he wasn't coming back whether it was 2014 or last year when he went to the Lakers.

if the Cavs took the Miami strategy, and instead of tanking and gathering a ton of assets and young players, signed a bunch of mediocre ass-wipes LeBron was never coming back. He would have NEVER come back in a million years if he didnt think he could win. You need to take your head out of your ass.

 

[Bart]

Rodman ever win Finals MVP? Kawhi did. Twice.

That’s a media award. Iggy won one too. Rodman should have won considering your qualifications of being a pest.

5. Arison was cheap

6. LeBron didnt like Riley

 

[Wamu]

I'm not sure this so far off base. With the GS injuries, it wasn't a legit finals series. Kawhi's spurs title, he wasn't the leader. Kawhi has a lot to prove still.

So are you also saying the Cavs '16 title is invalid because of G.S. injuries & Draymond being Draymond & getting himself suspended? Wondering if this would apply due to your thoughts on Kawhi's 2 Finals MVP's.

 

[dtgold88]

I've never been more excited for a regular season than this year

If the Pistons get Westbrook....cherry on top

I could see this comment for the Browns, but the Pistons (even if no RW)?

Though I guess you could mean the NBA in general, so that makes sense.

Not true.
Riley wasn't given the chance to even try.
James held up everything, knowing 1000% he was gone.

Back to fucking Mike Miller? Let it go. You're wrong. Trust me.

As far as Riley, no, he's not going to be LeBrons bitch or anyone else's.

trust me. Arison was cheap. Miller, giving away first rounders to save money, not using the mid level exception.

LeBron took a discount and then saw the owner pocketing the profits and that made him skeddadle right outta town and leave the Heat in the state they are still in today--- IRRELEVANT.

But there's no THC in pure CBD's.

Correct, but CBDs are extracted from marijuana.
