They fired SVG.

Which might be a step in the right direction, but apparently that's not all they are unhappy with. One thing that might help apparently though, is hiring the right coach. But they've struck out with their last 2 hires.

Broussard just suggested Chauncey or Kidd.

He's due $27M for each of the next two seasons. No way.
He fits with AD and James as a center who can shoot from outside and close to the basket, can rebound, pass and defend. He could be the 3rd scorer at around 14-16ppg. The Thunder shut him down for the season to play the kids and I guess, tank.....he had several really good games for them when he was allowed to play. He's still consistent and fits in for the next 2 years with James and then we'd need to rebuild around AD.

Lebron just ripped the league
saw...and ridiculous. Very possible the injuries are just coincidence/bad luck. Not like we have not seen injuries to stars all the time in the playoffs in the past. Lebron has seen it first hand.

He is up for a big extension but I think he will get tired of Dallas and request a trade.
Might but he'll only be restricted so not a lot of leverage.

You just disagree with everything that Lebron say because you dislike him? And actually if you go back to November, he was always against starting the season when they did
Yep....for selfish reasons. would he have felt the same had his team not played all the way through the Finals? Did he offer to give money back to play even fewer games?

Yeah, I agree.

Time to do away with positions all together on the all NBA team. The game is tending positionless.

5 best players should get 1st team. If it is 5 guards or 5 centers, so be it.

You telling me Julius Randle and Joel Embiid are the same?
I'd be down making it like they do all star voting.....2 guards and 3 front court players.

Serious Q for ya....think he'd be complaining if it didn't affect him and his team like it did getting them bounced?
James was complaining about the quick turnaround before the season even started.

As we've seen, guys will force their way out.

What will be interesting, imo, is what happens re: his extension. Young players always sign that first extension. Word is that he may become the first young player to not do that.
was gonna ask if anyone has forced way out as a RFA...cannot think of anyone who has.

He will sign and then demand a trade like a lot of other stars are doing lately. Clarifying it for you.
If he signs 1 or even 2 year deal, maybe...but not the usual 4-5 year deal. zero leverage on that.

This is the most injuries to happen to 8 AS players in the playoffs for the first time.

It's a record.

Because he's selfish and it affected him a lot. If he was bounced round 1 last year he wouldn't care as much. also ignored the extra month he got off last season apparently.

Does that include PG that was Covid?

It's a lot, no doubt. But we've seen a number of injuries before. Not saying as a shot at GS but it's true...they often faced the backup PG in their runs to the Finals. and, yes, look what happened when they lost to Toronto.

AD and Kyrie a walking injury every season.

Hell, guys who get hurt all the time have missed little to no time for injuries - CP, Rose and Griffin.

i'm not dismissing what he said, but could be sour grapes and/or coincidence.

It effects players who make a deep playoff run.....there's a reason there have been a record number injuries to AS players in these playoffs......SMH.

Clearly, you have never played sports......LOL.
