Could you imagine doing trades with trojan as the gm lol....you could offer any player Irving for curry, love for thompson as long as it keeps the teams stacked it's a fair trade

I just explained it to you why

Lebron made the respective teams stacked...Irving/love and wade/bosh are not stacked championship level teams until lebron joins them...In fact i am not sure they even make the playoffs

Durant didn't make gs stacked...they already were stacked without him...big difference

I agree with this.

For me, it doesn't make much of a difference in terms of how I view Duran'ts decision... but I definitely agree with that distinction between the 2 situations.

I think what Lebron and Durant both did is pussy shit.

Lebron's Decision makes his worse. What a cluster fuck that was.

Who says no?

Well outside of you anyway. Im talking more about lebron23james
so if KD joined Paul George and Montaie Ellis in Indiana- 2 former all stars- that would have been the same as joining 3 all nba players in Golden State by your logic....

i never said that- kyrie made him look like garbage for the finals- but other than that- hes def a top 5- likely top 2-3 guy in the league.


Not an excuse, but anyone who watched the Warriors knows that wasn't the real or near the best of Curry.

Lebron isn't the only reason those teams were stacked. He brought in players with him. He wasn't the only addition to those teams.

The fact that you think Wade/Bosh wouldn't might not make the playoffs says all that need be said about your post. They just made the 2nd round with Wade playing and Bosh out with blood clots. I guess you think that a healthy Bosh would somehow make the Heat worse.

LeBron made his moves looking for the "best chance to win".
Durant just did the EXACT SAME thing.
If you feel Durant is on a better roster then James, then that would mean he just did a better job of doing what James started.

so Kyrie and Love is just the same from your perspective as joining Curry, Thompson and Green...

unless i am misinterpreting something that is what you are saying correct?

Chris bosh played 44 games in 2015 and 53 games in 2016...they didn't make the playoffs and they added in the 2nd year Whiteside, joe johnson, deng and goran dragic(all players lebron didn't have) and still didn't get out of the 2nd round

whats hilarious is that these are many of hte same people that made fun of the Cavs as garbage and couldnt even make the playoffs if LeBron was injured....

but then they say Irving and Love is just as good as Green, Curry, Thompson

its absolutely 100% abject stupidity.

yah i agree--- he looked really tight and kinda choked


If you say so.
My guess was the injuries were the biggest factor, but in the end, it really doesn't matter why.

LOL

when does a team become "stacked"

i wonder what the arbitrary level is....

like i said--- we can go back and find plenty of posts disparaging the CAvs as a team that might not even make the playoffs in the East without LeBron-

but now somehow Kyire and Love are the equal of Green, Curry and Thompson....its just so stupid its outrageous.

There are several rosters in the East that would miss or barely make the playoffs as is, but if they added james would move to the top.
The Cavs are on that list.
