So what's your view on the LeBron retirement talk?

I am for his retirement

 

[fightinfunbags]

They don’t have any money

 

[Mebert]

It's true. I believe.

Being called The Ben Simmons provision

It is curious that we had 2 extremely talented players in Philadelphia completely implode in a relatively short time frame. Fultz gets less hate for it because he fell apart before he got a max. Was it just bad luck on 2 picks in short order?

Sign and trade for Ayton + Salary? Is it possible? No clue.

Kyrie, Book, KD and Beal. KD needs more help lol

You might be disappointed when he's still playing next season.

Na, he is a true basketball marvel. I still have him 2 overall, but not upset for those that have him 1. Watching his career as a basketball player has been a true privilege as a fan of basketball.

Once he is off the court he is also top 5 all time for insufferable assbags.

Man, I don;t know about top 5 all time as there have been some serious assholes (or insufferable assbags). I guess his longevity might also help him in this discussion as well.

I suppose we have some groups to consider. As he is not part of the...let's call it Bridges group. He is just insufferable.

The end of you comment made me laugh. But I agree with everything you said. Never thought I'd see a player get 10,000 rebs & asts.

Kyrie, Book, KD and Beal. KD needs more help lol

honestly- just having Book, Beal, and Ayton is ridiculous for KD.

I am reminded of that Churchill quote regarding the Battle of Britain- to paraphrase off the top of my head "Never have so many owed so much to so few" (bonus points to anyone that can say what he is talking about without looking it up).

"Never has a star done so little with so much".

You forgot when he was with the Warriors, huh?

Pretty much dominated.

yah with Green, Curry and Thompson in their primes and some solid role players.

Dude played with THE Patrick McCaw bro.

Patrick McCaw

need I say anything else?

What salaries? The Suns need players.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I mean- its prob. a pain in the ass to track this stat- but the number of guys that Durant played with in their primes is just ridiculous.

Harden, Westbrook, Curry, Klay, Green, Kyrie, Booker, ---- Beal and CP3 might be past their primes but still very good. Its just ridiculous. While Ayton isnt a hall of famer or fringe hall of famer like all those other guys he is certainly substantial.

here is a good Mark Twain quote for you DJ.

Curry, Thompson, and Green did not get Finals MVP. KD did.

2x.
