Danny Hurley welcome to the Lakers !

What LeBron did was waaaaayyy better.

Tell me, what have those other franchises been able to do after trading their star for 50 cents on the dollar?

Cleveland bottomed out, won the lottery a couple times and was able to compile the assets to get LeBron back.

I'd like something in middle (and agree with what trojan said)....quietly tell the team you are gone so they can plan accordingly and go for one more title or trade him.

 

[DJ]

You’re right

I should go back and watch those championship games again just to confirm

I meant are you sure you post about them?

LOL.

LOL.

If anyone is wondering if I’m a uconn fan then it’s clearly not enough

is Reddick still in the lal hc running?

That isn’t realistic.

Because as soon as Cleveland makes a trade offer, guess what happens?

The other team, in their own best interest to get a better deal, leaks that Cleveland is shopping him and the news gets out.

There is no such thing as a quiet superstar trade.

Not really sure what you are saying.... no superstar ever went for fair market value? Upon hearing the news Lebron might be on the market, you think no one ups offer to make sure they get him?

either way, I'd prefer Lebron let the Cavs know he has no plans to stay. I think we could have received a decent offer had no one known or the entire world known. If that was thew route the Cavs wanted to take (and not sure they would have).

Paul George went for above market value

 

[trojanfan12]

is Reddick still in the lal hc running?

I would assume so. There really hasn't been much talk about possible other candidates outside of Jay Wright emerging as some sort of "stealth candidate".

all I,ve heard on espn is they want to name a hc before draft day.that,s it.

It isn’t realistic to think there is any possibility that can happen quietly.

That's probably true and why I changed it to just have him let the Cavs know his plans so they can decide how to handle it - trade him and get something or go for one more title.

Might have been better than a nationally televised show in which he knew the outcome for months (or maybe years).

 

[trojanfan12]

Heard the same and I'm not even sure it was a quote from the Lakers. They could have just been saying it because common sense would dictate that you'd want the HC's input on your draft pick.

I also heard they were looking at a pelican assistant.

Yeah, that's James Borrego. He's been considered to be 2nd or 3rd on their list since Redick was the favorite. The Dan Hurley thing kind of came out of nowhere (at least publicly).

Lakers could lose out on him too as I believe he interviews with the Cavs today.

The Lakers better hope he prefers LA/SoCal over Cleveland and be prepared to outbid, and thus, possibly overpay for him because the Cavs are on the verge of being contenders for 5-7 plus years.

Meanwhile, the Lakers are looking at a rebuild in a couple of years.

You are also making a really big assumption. One that I don’t believe to be true.

I don’t believe LeBron knew he was leaving until right before he made the decision.

He knew Miami was an option. But almost no way he had his mind made up before the season started when obviously he felt tied to the city of Cleveland.

 

[Brightboat]

Not true at all.

Ham was not a good coach. And it was Anthony Davis who wanted Ham gone.

That’s the problem with teams like the Lakers with A holes like Davis and James the team lets the inmates run the asylum. They both are team wreckers

 

[Brightboat]

Seems like you hate-hate-hate LeBron mont...I mean brightboat.

I despised James ever since “The Decision” years ago. What an ego maniacal ass hat

Is your Google broken?

"NO way he had his mind made up"? I get not wanting to believe the story that the 3 of them put this plan in place when they were together at the olympics but it's certainly not a crazy notion this is what happened.

and he didn't know until right before? Just wow if you really believe that.

He didn’t know an entire year before.

Almost no chance.

If Cleveland had won a title you really think he leaves?

It was a hypothetical until it happened. Just like Durant to the Warriors.

Lots can change over the course of the season.
