Paul Pierce just said Portland Trail Blazers dark horse to land LeBron

[LayneStaley]

Lbj isn’t going to a city that would hurt his brand, if he goes to a West Coast team it’s the Lakers. I’d say there’s a 100% chance he teams up with buddy CP3 in Hou or stays in the weaker division and joins the rising Sixers though.

No.

Nobody would use their #1 pick on a player for the next year.

Who would not have been obligated to sign, if I'm not mistaken?

 

[Orion Bailey]

Him and Paul George head or the lakers. Cp3 joins them a year later.

Wait what? We'd pick him But he wouldn't have to sign??

I just don't see it.

Everyone is drumming him up and then he can't even coexist with CJ. I'm not getting into the argument of who's the better player but when they play together we're hard to beat. both came from college programs where they were The man, and need to learn to share the limelight

This post makes absolutely no sense.

Here’s my dumb question for the day, why do you believe CJ and Dame can’t co-exist? They seem to be good friends, Dame doesn’t seem to mind letting the team ride CJ when he’s hot. You could argue they have a similar skillset and I could see that to a certain extent, but I’m not sure I get the arguement that they can’t or don’t do-exist.

That's what I'm wondering. It said he'd have to sign after the following season, but before the next draft. Does that imply if he didn't sign, he could have put himself back into the draft? Was it different than when we drafted Sabonis, and held his rights? (He asked no one in particular.)

The great thing about CJ is that he takes pressure off Dame. It's someone else he can throw the ball to that can get buckets if Dame is struggling or even if Dame is having an amazing game. You always need that other guy who can help and CJ is good at that. Look at Game 4 of playoffs this year. CJ had 38 points. In a loss, yes, but that is because AD went off for 47.

They do great at getting each other shots depending on who's hot. As you've said, you don't even watch the games, so how do you know? Is like never reading the Bible then trying to preach to a priest... it's ridiculous.

I agree that he can take the pressure off of Dame at times. What I don't see is that big picture, it helps the team be anything but average. CJ is an amazing individual score and does so without going to the FT hardly at all....even more amazing. But the WAY in which he does it is what I believe doesn't help the team. It is so ISO oriented, has so much dribbling while teammates just stand around and watch that it kills any rhythm or flow the team had. Players can be wide open and CJ is in the zone doing his own thing....which as often as not, will result in a basket.

But it kills anything going on for the rest of the team.

I don't like their chemistry and I think it's because both of them were the man in college, they could feed of each other much better

At this point in their careers, they've spent more time as teammates in the NBA than they spent as "the man in college".
