I read it. And I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, see above. :)
 
How would Lebron do his stupid fucking dust thing if he came off the bench?
 
This might be contrived and all. But Lebron gets way too much hate. Dude knows how to win and be a team player. Compare him to a dick like Kobe, and it's no contest who I want leading the team.
 
Publicly offering to make a sacrifice you are already 100% certain nobody would ever allow you to make is nothing more than a grasp for personal and individual attention.
 
Okay okay Cleveland we will send you Matthews and Batum for LBJ
 
You guys realize how much cap space Lebron will suck dry? No thanks. You want a bench...it'll consist of Hashim Thabeet and Nolan Smith if you sign the superstar
 
Kingspeed, why is this Blazer news? No wonder the around the NBA forum is a desert, it all gets posted here.
 
Id trade batum for him but not matthews. Matthews has the perfect attitude I never want him to play against me. He needs to retire a blazer.
 
Holy shit! I can't believe people are arguing over giving up Matthews and Batum for LBJ! Hahaha... I thought I was a homer
 
As talented as Lebron is, he's an iso player who wants to be a floor coach and it's had mixed results.The Cavs actually looked better when he was off the court. I'd rather have 3 good bench players and keep our starters than empty the cap on a superstar..yeah, I'm a homer even though I detest that word.

LeBron isn't an iso player. He is a point guard with the body of a power forward. He is ball dominant but he works within an offense (right now the Cavs don't exactly have an offense though but that's not his fault that's a weak coach).

He's a great player, don't get me wrong but if you took a dribble count, he likes to dominate the ball, that's iso ball. Look at KLove's offensive production when playing with Bron and imagine that's Aldridge or Lillard getting left in the cold so he can showboat. I could be wrong but my gut says he wouldn't fit well in our system. He'd fit in the Knicks triangle really well though.
 
Fact is Lebron would get crucified if he bailed on Cleveland after the return. I don't see it happening

I just disagree, I think he'd love to have Aldridge+Lillard over Love+Irving. Aldridge would give him about 5 assists a night just off drive and dish alone, Dame would get far less perimeter pressure and his game would expand because of it. LeBron IS all about winning at this stage of his career, he would be #1 here but don't for a second think LA or Dame would be forgotten, LBJ is a team player.

What are you talking about? The Cavs are like 2-8 without hm. Cavs were lotto team last year. Add LeBron and they're a division leader.

I'll admit I havent watched them unless they played us and Lebron was not there. I saw some highlights when he seemed to be disinterested and then there was the coach flak he seemed to flaunt. He has not utilized KLoves offense with the Cavs. As to their record, I don't follow them. Mo Williams and Chris Bosh have mentioned it
 
Just for the record KS, I hate seeing Lebron, KLove or Kobe threads in the Blazer forum, that's my personal prejudice. Especially when they get their own threads here.

Love is LeBron's fault. Love is Love's fault. LeBron is true MVP this season. If he doesn't win it, it's because people are sick of giving it to him.

He's not the MVP this season and it has nothing to do with Love or Irving or anyone else. Lamarcus is way ahead of him in the race as far as this season's production goes.

I love Aldridge but I disagree. Cavs were an awful lottery team last season. Add LeBron and they are leading their division. That is the definition of MVP. He won't win it but he deserves it.
