LeBron "taking them" to 3 finals and a ring and being called an ingrate(the heck?) for not being appreciate of the king's presence is exactly the type of reason for why he wanted to get out and spread his wings. Dude gets no credit. He puts all that work in, outplays the unanimous MVP in the finals, and gets no credit.

And somehow LeBron up and bouncing from an organization that provided him with Finals teams in 4 consecutive years is okay. Like it's okay for him to do that but not for Kyrie to leave. Double standard.

Interesting that Vescey doesn't get cold feet by back tracking on his comments, I have a feeling he's telling the truth, cause he's not the only one who's reporting that LeBron is heading to the Lakers.

No double standard in my book Kyrie can do whatever he feels is best for him but he has never out played Lebron. Lebron is the main reason why the cavs won, Kyrie is a good but hes not even close to lebron's level of play, maybe one day but not now.

Says Lebron has already made his decision.
Paul George is coming.
Brook Lopez would be resigned.

Yeah. My point is Irving is vastly under appreciating or downplaying how much LBJ pulled the Cavs to the Finals. No doubt Irving hit a clutch shot and has played well in the Finals, but he's not getting there without LbJ. LBJ meanwhile dragged a crappy Cavs team to the Finals when he was what 21 years old?

Oh is that what he's doing? Or did you just completely make that up?

according to my latest most strenuous NBA 2k18 simulations I can confirm that LeBron isn't coming and neither is Paul George however Kevin Durant will inexplicably opt out and sign for us with our other big signing being KCP for 22m per. We still make it to the finals the next year and lose in 5 to the 76ers. #2kaccuracy.

They (bleep) this up in the game before the biggest FA summer ever when the Heatles were formed; the whole world knew they were opting out that year and they never would in game or LeBron would opt out and sign with the Suns.

If it leads to a couple (or more) NBA Titles, great!


Yeah, big if

I think Lebron would do what he always does: He'll meet with Magic and lay out the terms under which he'll come here (and the terms will depend on how our players do this season). And if he does come here, he won't be quiet about what he wants, he'll publically lobby the front office to improve and he'll leave if he doesn't get it.

Uh. He's in a happier place now. I got no problems with that.


Wish somebody in the know spilled the real reason what happened, not this sugar coated interview answers. Something had to happened, like sleeping with the other's girl type of level


Yea. That rumor came out as well.
But who knows. I dont think the truth will come out till years later.


What was the rumor?



A couple of rinky-dink sites had a rumor that Lebron slept with Kyrie's girlfriend, but it didn't seem based on anything and it disappeared pretty quick.

Where were those "leopard spots" in Miami when Riley was his boss?

There's no way Lebron pushes Magic around. And Magic won't be making demands from Lebron either. There's a mutual Respek there.

Depends who that guy is and to what caliber level Ball/Ingram eventually reach.

Let's say it's Bron and PG, I think we've got 4-5 strong strong years and then beyond that we'd still be contenders for another 5-8 years if Ball and Ingram as as good as we hope.

Right there on Lebron, it pissed Riley off.

The issue that's clearly being discussed here is whether or not LeBron would try to push the FO around by going public (or private) with some list of demands and such, which he's done frequently with CLE. Did he do that to Riley while he was in Miami? If you say yes, source it. And if you can't, clearly you didn't learn your lesson last time when you made up a similar allegation about LeBron, and was rightfully flamed for doing so.

The point some of us are making is that people are assuming LeBron's behavior and treatment of the Lakers' FO would be no different from the way it's been with CLE, and we don't think that's the case because of how much he reveres Magic. At least try to contribute something tangible for a change instead of these predictable, one line zingers that you consistently seem to air ball on.
