Didnt the cavs sign and trade bron to miami? If he wanted to go to the celtics couldnt they matched salaries

not without trading one of either Allen, PP, and KG and they didnt have **** other players that the Cavs would have wanted in return. Nobody is trading for a combination of Brian Scalabrine, Eddie House, and JR Giddens.

George Paul wanted to play with the goat but indiana ****ed it up and he had to play with a stat padder

From the gate dude made it clear he wanted to be in Los Angeles. If that's the case I fully expect him to sign with Cleveland this summer.

not really I read a few of the dudes who hate on kd saying " I can't blame lebron for putting himself in the best situation to win as possible. "

And that’s what people are saying now . There’s always going to be some reasonable people in a discussion. But keep reading that thread. It’s gold. Lots of posts where the same sentiment they have for KD, they had for Bron then.

People forget how Bron internalized the hate and played the first season and a half as a......”villain”...later to say “that wasn’t him”.




Y’all remember? History repeated itself shortly after:

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I think we gotta stop entertaining lamekilla and put him in Dipset General territory.

He's been clowning for 2 years straight now.

 

[lamekilla]

he sure did get revenge on
36 year old kg
34 year old Paul pierce and 33 year old ray Allen.
He sure showed them despite the fact after the 2010 season they window was shut. .

Same 30 year olds that was spanking his *** at 25. Lol at their window being closed after 2010 when they were one game away from the finals in 2012. Revisionist history indeed.

There wasn’t any possible way that Bron “could’ve joined the Celtics”. So that’s all the way dead. If It was possible...he would’ve done it. No need for hypotheticals. They both made the best “decisions” available for them at the time....and both of them took the easiest path to championships.

End of story.

Just like KD is playing for peanuts, why couldn’t Lebron play for peanuts on a guaranteed championship team? Cause he’s not as ***** made as KD. Again, Lebron was corny for leaving but what KD did was on another level of *****. KD got beat so bad he was ok with being a second option for the rest of his career.

Heat really didnt give them **** either except for some useless picks. Cavs got more return for mo williams

They can't

The interesting thing about the current run the Warriors are on is that it's not much different than the Bulls run in the 90s. Regardless of who had the best record, or home court advantage if Jordan was playing it was all but inevitable that the Bulls would win.

This Warriors Dynasty is similar except there's no player on the Warriors as likable as Michael Jordan, I think that's why there's so much backlash.

KD is making 10 mil a year more than lebron was when he went to miami

Reading through old nba player ranking. John salmons was a top 50 player once they say. Crazy.

 

[seasoned vet]

trying to hard.

None of them were ranked as top 25 players in 2011.
LeBron is the best in the world. Lol

revisionist history

KD makes like 28mil a year.....he’s playing at a Lil less than market value (like the big 3 in Miami)

You wanted Bron (at 25 years old) to play for the Vet minimum in Boston...in 2010....what’s that....like $5mil a year?

. You ain’t think this one through.

The Warriors have only won two so far, let's pump the breaks a little on the comparison. Not saying they won't get there but anything more than 3 is very, very rare.

I'm saying the Celtics would have had zero to offer in a sign and trade except for ****** players with contracts that the Cavs wouldnt have wanted.

That's why a sign and trade with the Celtics wasnt happening.

i think ppl forget what the 2011 heat were, in the finals they started:

Lebron
Wade
Bosh
Joel Anthony
Mike Bibby

with chalmers, haslem and juwon howard off the bench. not exactly a made team

What was the Mavs lineup again?

 

[abubakr shaheed]

this is going to be incredible. youngins need to be educated.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

revisionist history

I'm actually reading through player rankings right now from 2011. None of the Boston big 3 are top 25 players according to these list. Paul pierce is 27th , kg is 38 . Ray Allen isn't top 50.

There's no doubt in my mind if GS somehow opened up 35 million in cap space and could retain all their pieces that Bron would be on the 1st thang smoking to the Bay. He's built the exact same way.

nowitzki

That's why he is going to go to Philly this year and destroy the development of Ben and Embiid.
