him and wiggitywack were dead wrong on THAT one...

In fairness to Wiggy......he never said that.




That was all @lebron23james.....

Oh OK...

either way, dead wrong...

 

[Bolts]

I hear you.

Even if you fall short, it's nice to finally see the positive trajectory.

I'm still high on Giles and Bagley and Fox looks like he will be a star.

Buddy has looked good too and Bogi is back.

 

[Bolts]

@Bolts has PTSD from being a Kings fan.....

Pretty much

You are missing the point. It is a much different situation.

Because:

A) LeBron signed a 1 +1 deal in Cleveland vs a 3 + 1 in LA. Gilbert had to make win now moves or LeBron was out again.

B) no matter what moves the Lakers made this past summer, they were highly unlikely to beat GS.

When you put A and B together, it is easy to see why LeBron isn't pushing the Lakers to make win now moves. Expect Next season to be different. But the young kids will get the full 82 to their fit with LeBron (unless they get a great offer for Lonzo).

A. The last deal LeBron signed in Cleveland was 2 and 1

B. The Cavs started LIGHT YEARS ahead of where the Lakers started

C. None of the top free agents are likely to sign with the LAkers--- is there a "path" -- sure- there is also a path to the top of mount fucking Everest.

 

[WiggyRuss]

BOOM.

This is the main reason I have no guilt whatsoever in what might might look like me being a total douche-bag.

you look like a total douche bag for being out of your mind about a team that is going to be slaughtered in the first round- if your lucky. LOL.

 

[trojanfan12]

the difference in Cleveland and Miami it was a matter of getting All Star talents- high level all star talents, like Kyrie and Love and Bosh and Wade on the same page.

I understand your comparison in LA, but if LeBron is taking a back seat, that means a 20 year old Ingram or Ball, who are just not nearly equipped to handle that responsibility like Kyrie or Wade or Bosh or Love were- have to rise up like that.

LeBron doesnt have the horses like he is used to right now. On top of that, he is playing the hardest schedule of his career. Kyrie Irving can average 25 a game and lead the team in scoring- and in fact he did one year with LeBron- Kevin Love can go for 18 and 10 and lead the team in rebounds.

I agree. That's why I said that he's taking a bit of a risk in playing something of a long game. Most players his age are looking to latch on with a contender to try and grab a ring before they retire.

Lebron has decided to join a bunch of undeveloped kids. He's smart enough to know that the Lakers aren't winning a title this year.

But, if he lets them develop rather than carry them, it will hopefully pay off for him down the road when the kids know how to play and they've hopefully added another top level player.

Yes and it’s littered with dead frozen stiffs.

I am not talking about the last deal. I am talking about the first one because you brought up the Wiggins for Love trade.

LeBron only signed the 2 and 1 after winning a title. And he probably regrets it. Because everything went to hell the summer Gilbert had LeBron under contract. David Griffin was not renewed, Kyrie was traded and the foundation for LeBron's departure was built.

Cleveland has a shitty roster. They had a shitty roster beyond LeBron last season and every mounting loss is proving me right.

I thought it was fun to at least be competing in the post season...?

that's the narrative YOU used when the Cavs were getting poleaxed...

At Least the Lakers will make it to the first round - The Cavaliers is never going to see any day light in a few years

 

[DJ Fieri]

If Rose keeps this up.....say 18ppg and 5apg for the season......is some team gonna offer him his last big contract next summer?

If tbe Warriors are dumb enough to offer Klay less than the max, he is a possibility.

They haven't shown to be stupid people.

I'm telling you, the Lakers are going to trade for Beal.

Watch.

If Davis tries to force a trade, you have to believe it's to the Lakers or Celtics.

So, even if they strike out in free agency, they have other ways to add talent.

No.

He won't even get the mid level.

At least not for multiple years.

So smart.

Ideally, he'd be a 6th man type on a good team.

Thunder with all starters in double figures after 3.

 

[DJ Fieri]

How bad are the Rockets?



Without RW.....the Thunder are beating them by 22.
