No need for the unnecessary hyperbole.

As for wanting clarification, I dunno, donesn't seem like there was a huge need for clarification on it. So not responding didn't seem like that big of a deal.
But asking like you did:


comes across as wanting to continue on with an argument that was going nowhere. And for seemingly no good reason.

This is the problem. I didn't see it as an argument. Just a discussion i was looking for clarity on is all.
But everyone seems to assume i mean the worst intent even though i lolled. Laughed. It was a damn joke of a post. Not a heated argument until i got called a strawman, i thought were were all just talking.

too fucking serious around here. But its all me…. Right.
 
Now watch. The next kicker will be i cant let things go. Even though I'm just responding to others’ posts who also cant let it go, but will blame me for not letting it go….

everyone else is perfect around here and im the ONLy one who causes trouble.
Its not hyperbole. Its the regular narrative by some here.
Its hilarious…
Lol.
 
what sort of clarity? They specifically said they were responding to a post you made. You made a follow up post that clarified your statement as being bigs, but that wasn't what they were responding to, and they stated that. There was no need for clarity on any of it. They responded to a post, you added more after the fact. You get so upset that people don't respond to you in the way you expect them to. It was a minor miscommunication that needed no clarifying, but then you started ranting on it.
 
And yes, there's all sorts of hyperbole in a lot of what you say.

you aRe right. Im wrong. Now move the fuck on….
 
Lebron is still a very good player on offense when he wants to be. He pretty much single-handedly beat Utah, and made Gobert look like a common stiff.
 
I'm not a big Lebron guy, but if you have been saying you want the Blazers to do whatever it takes to have a chance at winning a title, but you would reject a picks+filler for Lebron trade, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Yup. You either go all in for Dame. Or you trade Dame and go with the youth movement.

Trading for Grant is great and all, but it does not make us in any way closer to contention than Lebron would.

This. I don't want him in part because everywhere he goes it's HIS team. I don't like the chemistry on 'his' teams. The Blazers play at the intersection of Billups Blvd and Lillard Lane. I'm happy with Lebron staying in his.

Sometimes it feels like East Elleby and Blevins Blvd....

The defender of Olshey-island with yet another unbelievable take. This is to the point of one wondering if he is skipping some medication he is supposed to take.

Remember when this ass hat was begging for a job and the portland tribune threw him a bone, i believe. I wish they didn't.

The guy who once proposed trading Clyde for Harold Minor? There is no medication that could fix his level of WTF. The most charitable explanation I can come up with is that he revels in playing a pro wrasslin' style heel.

Who was it here who said watching Dwight and Canned-Hammo argue was like watching 2 eels wrestle in a bucket of slime?
 
I'd give up picks and filler.

I don't see why the Lakers would do this though. Would you entertain picks and filler for Dame? Of course not. The Lakers would want a Dame level player back for trading LeBron. Maybe an Anthony Simons potential star would start a discussion with them, but I don't know that they would do that. I certainly wouldn't trade Ant for LeBron from our end.

Look at all the youth the Lakers drafted but got rid of to construct their Lebron and Anthony Davis core; Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, DeAngelo Russell, Josh Hart, Larry Nance, Ivan Zubac, Alex Caruso, Jordan Clarkson, Kyle Kuzma. They actually did an amazing job drafting young talent, and an equally amazing job somehow now having none of that talent.

Maybe if the Lakers are at the bottom half of the western conference at the February 2023 deadline they consider trading LeBron. There is no way they would trade him or Davis before then, unless they are getting a star or potential star in return. Look for them to focus on trading Westbrook, Tucker, signing a tax MLE free agent, and a bunch of fluff stories of washed vet minimum guys.

If Dame only had one year left on his deal and was set on going to a specific team, we wouldn’t have much of a choice. It’s either trade him now for something decent, or have a malcontent for a season and then lose him for nothing. LeBron pretty much has all the leverage and has always been the type to use it.

I’m giving up 0 to get him, and he was drafted the same year I started kindergarten, so I love the guy. I’d rather just build what we can with Dame, Simons, Hart, and a strong lotto selection. Bronny is coming out in a couple of years, so I’d rather gamble assets for Lebron by drafting Bronny a little higher than he should. Why give up 1sts + others now for Lebron now if we probably wouldn’t even be able to compete next year? In a few years though…

Mark Cuban says LeBron James telling teams he’d sign with them if they drafted Bronny was ‘super smart’

Mark Cuban isn’t sure if he’d draft Bronny James with the Mavericks, but he thinks LeBron is wise to tell teams he wants to play with his son.


What will the financial impact be of drafting Bronny Jr. and getting LeBron for his last season in the NBA be?

Cuban: “I don’t even know.”

You know. You know.

Cuban: “I really don’t!”

You have no one who has run the numbers?

Cuban: “No one who’s run the numbers. Because it’s impossible to predict. That’s, I don’t even know, how many years from now? Three? Four? Whatever it is years from now.”

Nice, so you’re pretending to just not know anything about this.

Cuban: “No! So how old is Bronny?”

He’s a junior in high school.

Cuban: “OK, so it could be three years from now, correct? Well, I mean, it wouldn’t suck. Let’s put it that way. It wouldn’t suck. But I’d rather win.”

It’s a great move by LeBron...

Cuban: “Super smart by LeBron, it really was on his part.”

...because someone is probably going to draft him a little bit higher now because you get LeBron for his farewell season.

Cuban: “Or, maybe two, or three, or four!”

Hmm. Interesting. So future Dallas Maverick.

Cuban: (laughs) “Yeah.”
 
2 years left max followed by a couple years of him thinking he still has it….no thx. Plus he’s way to publicly involved in front office decisions.
 
Really not interested. Our team is not good enough even if we're fully healthy and add LeBron for nothing to be all that good. We should be in tank + rebuild mode, not trying to add a guy at the end of his career.
 
Rumor has it if you want LBJ at the end of his career you have to draft his son

I’ve heard LBJ wants to be part of the first father/son duo In NBA History
