[TurnUpTheHeat]

Might be right based on his past comments, but in this case he was correct. They did not get him because of (cap) room as was implied.

No fucking shit?
Where did anyone ever say differently?

His post implied Heat had no assets that other teams would want.
He believed that, simply because he dislikes the Heat.

You mean Lebron (and wade and Bosh)'s blueprint?

Riley made sure he had a bunch of expiring contracts heading into that summer.
The 3 players could have presented their plan to anyone, correct?

If not for Riley/Spoelstra, Cavs prob still wouldn’t know what a championship feels like.

seemed obvious. The point of me saying "as a FA destination they should win a title first" was that as a FA destination they should win a title first.

But I already said they should win a title first. What was the point of repeating what I just said?

Of course he did....but if not for 3 guys becoming friends and wanting to play together it doesn't get done.

To imply "as a FA destination they SHOULD win a title first"

Lots of teams get injured? Kawhi Lenard sat tons of games and only played 60 games on the season vs Lebrons 55 games. They still made the playoffs and guess what else? Do you want the answer why?

Kawhi was sitting due to load management. How many players did the Raptors lose to injury?

Lebron missed 27 games, Rondo missed 36 games, Ingram missed 30 games, Lonzo missed 35 games, Kuzma missed 12 games, Hart missed 15 games.

To be fair, not sure how healthy he ever was down the stretch.
No excuse.
Just an opinion.

According to his trainer, he actually came back too early.

Probably true, but also to be fair might not have missed so many if they were in the race.

dang it, here you go killing good trolling with the facts again...

The Cleveland Cavaliers were 4-23 without LeBron Jamesbetween 2014-15 and 2017-18

Oh, but wait. The Cavs sat other players too. That's the excuse hypocritical Cavs fans like to use to justify it while ignoring all of the injuries other than Lebron's for the Lakers.

To answer the Q, looks like Toronto missed around 80 games among Lowry, Kawhi, Van Vleet, Ibaka and OG. LA had way more, but would they have had as many of the games mattered?

If Ben Franklin didn’t fly a kite we’d be using candles.

Not this fan.....As a team built to play with Lebron things were not pretty when he sat.

Um....OK.......but that was the reason the 3 of them played together. Not their love and admiration of Pat Riley.

Lol at you calling someone else a joke, one-nut Martian!

Fify

Point is, there’s a reason for everything, which includes the reasoning for 3 stars to never have the conversation of joining the Cavs as FA.
