Well they did bring us a championship, and that was something. You can't expect to get titles every year

...and I don't. I don't see much leadership though, with no proven track record to point to. The tanking/rebuilding years had some bad mistakes (giving terrible contracts to questionable vets, then dealing draft assets to get rid of them). All was good though until this season (considering that injuries affected the two out of Lebron's 3 previous years that didn't end in a title), when the choice was made to double-down with Westbrook. Pursuing a 3rd "superstar" doesn't make much sense when your options are so limited that you're considering Westbrook at this stage in his career.

Gonna be a tough next 2 weeks so if they don't come back then they could definitely go on a long losing streak.

Just looked at the Cavs schedule for the next two weeks. 76ers 2x, Bulls, Heat, Nuggets. Damn.

Well, no, he isn't capable,**but he has never handled things like a man and has always been somewhat cowardly about it.** I do audits for a living, so I had to learn how to tell people straight, but politely what I need and when their records weren't straight...That is no an easy skill by any means

I forgot how much you despise him.

** = there's no doubt your personal feelings towards him factor greatly into things

lol

Not really the same thing. They were going to do it if he committed.
One deal being mentioned was for Deandre Jordan. Man would Altman be getting ripped had that deal gone down.....even though it was something Lebron insisted on to stay.

Sure could...almost wish they missed the next couple weeks as might not win anyway but played the last week as we maybe don't drop some of the games we did.

Haha. I just think it's funny that people are so desperate for the Lakers to be good.

SportsHoopla Lakers fans excluded obviously **

I like how that funny trade idea involves the Heat giving up three first rounders along with those player.

not sure you do as that is what they meant by no picks until 27. That they had none to trade (because of Stepien Rule)

Actually, that's not how it has been reported in a lot of the media. A lot of them have said they have no first picks period.
