Agree with all of this.

The Thunder are interesting. If Westbrook can learn to use his help, they could be a real threat to the Warriors.

Westbrook's the key to taking out the Warriors this season. But he's his own worst enemy. A top NBA talent, but his decision making and stuborness often doom his team.

Houston is still going to be very good and they can still bolster their bench. They were up 3-2 when CP3 remember. Ariza is a huge piece but you can’t just count them out. They are still a beast to be reckoned with.

I don’t other teams close to them in the west right now.

If LA were to get say Kawhi, Lebron and Cousins, resign Randle or get some more pieces that is another contender. It would all depend on the roster though. If Kawhi doesn’t go to LA why would Lebron go there when he can just wait a year

Houston not having Ariza is huge because they're cash strapped. They're not going to get better because they also have to re-sign Capella.

LA isn't going to be able to trade for Kawhi, sign Lebron and Cousins (I'm assuming close to a max deal for 1/2 years given he'll be rehabbing most of the season). With those 3 potentially signed, you're not going to be able to keep Randle if you're the Lakers.

Lebron's options are limited this year. Sure, why would Lebron sign with the Lakers when they really don't have a chance at doing anything if Kawhi's not traded? Then again, why stay on Cleveland when you're stuck with that roster and you know you basically have no chance at competing for a title now, especially with Boston closing the gap since Kyrie and Hayward are coming back next season.

Yeah, he's not attending any meetings.

But, this is why they need to put a muzzle on Embiid.

His tweet looks extremely dickish now that his team is being considered.

Embiid needs to get off of twitter.

The fact that Lebron's not attending the meeting says it all. Philly has no chance IMO.

His shtick is getting old.

It was funny at first.

Now it's starting to look petulant.

Not sure why he felt the need to go at Ayton either.

You feel threatened by a Dude who hasn't even played a game yet?

If Lebron is upset about that Tweet then he is way too thin skinned.

I think he just enjoys Twitter trolling.

Yeah I'm honestly not a fan of Embiid. As you've said, it was funny at first, but now you (Embiid) just look childish and that's going to start turning players off around the league.

Dude, it was unnecessary.

Any player who gets attention...

Any team with slightly better odds of landing a guy....

He feels the need to troll.

He's headed for Enes Kanter Twitter troll status.

Looking at PPG for a bench player to make your judgement on him is so dumb.

He was hands down one of the best 6th men in the league last year.

There is a reason nobody was questioning the money he got except you

It's not a terrible contract by NBA standards, you missed my point.

really? all his tweets have been harmless. he was interviewed a few days ago and called lebron the best player in the league. i'm pretty sure they're fine.

Clearly.

But, Damn...mix it up a little.

Yeah, I love his game.

I even enjoy watching him fuck with Dudes during the games.

But, his social media game has gotten annoying.

Maybe that's what he needs to do to motivate himself?

I'm not speaking for LeBron.

I find it annoying now.

It goes in the same category as the Lakers kiddie corps public trolling of eachother.

Funny at first.

Now it's like....give it a rest.

Lakers were smart enough to shut that Shit down before it cost them.

If Lebron does go to philly he really is going to take a big step back in my opinion. If he wants a chance at another title he should go out west
