LeBron did the same thing when he "took his talents to South Beach". Just because the Dubs were more of a "sure thing" than the Heat doesn't make KD a jerk and LBJ all good, at least not as far as I'm concerned. I don't follow the NBA that closely but weren't Cavs only competitative at all soley because of King James at the time? In the case of KD, the Thunder had just lost to the champs in 7 games in his last season with that team. Far, far, different teams that either player deserted. But that's just from my own POV. **** the NBA anyhow with the rules they put into place for the Vancouver Grizzlies.

His team got him zero help. Ownership stunk. KD left a superstar in Russ. Okc traded for Oladipo for KD too. Huge difference in my world. Oh well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see one as any worse than the other. I just thought you should know that someone who's "played sports" doesn't share your point of view. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought you should know that someone who's "played sports" doesn't share your point of view. I don't really see how anyone could see those 2 scenarios as the same thing. Lebron had no help in Cleveland, he wanted Amare stoudamire they got him jj Hickson. He wanted Jason Kidd they got him mo Williams. He tried to get bosh to sign there he didn't want to. If ownership isn't bringing in the necessary people and no one wants to sign there, what are you supposed to do? Again if lebron joined the Celtics sure I can see the comparison. KD wanting to leave okc is totally fine by me, Westbrook is a ball first guard, and KD was missing out on some shots. But joining the best team in the league who just beat you, where you choked for the last 4 games is unheard of. Anyways congrats to the warriors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I think LeBron stays, but ownership has gotta convince him they’ll win 2-3 more titles before he calls it a career. I’ll say go hard after Cousins, package the Nets pick for a legit guard, fire Lue, then start fresh for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people thought just making it this far with this trash squad was one of LBJs biggest accomplishments at his age in his career. Celtics probably would have put up a better fight they are a very good defensive team younger and more athletic than the Cavs. Oh well another offseason more exciting ahead than the actual games arguably. The playoffs as a whole were very good compared to most years except the final series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) JR Smith's game 1 blunder got LeBron so mad he broke is hand... Bron punched a white board and broke his hand pretty bad. Ouch. I doubt he stays in Cleveland but stranger things have happened. Edited June 9, 2018 by Xbox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD had to join the greatest team ever to win a chip. The media was still calling the warriors Currys team, and labeling him the best player on the team. Lebron is still the best player in the world, look at the numbers he had this year. He's been the best for nearly a decade now (since 08/09 maybe?)

Popular Post Pears Posted June 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2018 Just so we’re clear on the differences between what LeBron and Durant did: LeBron: - Teamed up with Wade and Bosh in Miami, who was 47-35 the year prior - Did so to beat his demons in Boston, not join them Durant: - Ditched his best friend to join the best regular season team of all time after blowing a 3-1 series lead to them in the WCF It’s really not hard to see them unless you’re a blind LeBron hater. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
