Cavs are down from 40-1 to 10-1 in vegas apparently

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 8 July 2014 19:42 (nine years ago) link

really amazing how badly Gilbert played this, and he apparently still has a chance

would be cool if lbj was pulling a long con and gave the cavs a ton of interest and got them to commit to a bunch of things only to pull out and sign with miami again.

Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Tuesday, 8 July 2014 20:13 (nine years ago) link

it's really up to the cav's stupidity if they're going to do anything before Lebron signs

Nhex, Tuesday, 8 July 2014 20:23 (nine years ago) link

he's goin' back to miami tho come on

Bron going back to Cleveland would be amazing purely for witnessing an entire state's collective backpedaling

I say Cleveland. He strikes me as a guy who would rather create a good narrative than take the max money/rings he can get.

I was in Cleveland once for work and I was talking to a colleague about the cavs and I was like "Well hey, at least you got Kyrie Irving" and I couldn't tell if the look on his face was more about-to-cry or about-to-punch-you-in-the-face

If the cavs did land both klove and LeBron, we might have to stop calling their front office 'a pack of idiots'.

mentioned in lebron's essay: kyrie irving, tristan thompson, dion waiters, anderson varejao

not mentioned: andrew 'mitch' wiggins

balls, Friday, 11 July 2014 16:41 (nine years ago) link

time to move on the Love trade so they can dominate

Nhex, Friday, 11 July 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link

can't say I'm not surprised but there is a lot of long-term potential with Cleveland having Kyrie Irving and a very young, hungry roster. think this probably looked sexier to Bron than attempting to win w/ a Big Three that was aging, showing diminishing returns, and with a roster that wasn't very deep and flawed.

so what say you all - is Cleveland an instant contender, or is this a multi-year project?

Neanderthal, Friday, 11 July 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link

oh geez I forgot the Love trade. if they get him, peace out EC

Neanderthal, Friday, 11 July 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link

w/ love? in the east? instant contender. they're an ecf fave even w/o love.

balls, Friday, 11 July 2014 16:43 (nine years ago) link

haha, when Deng came here last year I was convinced the Cavs were making the playoffs such was my degradation.

I was OTM when I said he was going back to Cleveland but I was absolutely not OTM when I said he would announce his decision two days ago at 6:00-7:00 pm on lebronjames.com. My deepest and sincere apologies. My ILH post was wrong. I should’ve known better. I could not be more embarrassed. I can’t explain why someone would go the lengths “my source” did to set me up, but that’s irrelevant. I allowed my zeal to break a story take too much for granted. I'd like to think I'm better than that. Yesterday and today I was not oh who gives a flying fuck about this PEOPLE, LEBRON JAMES IS COMING BACK TO CLEVELAND, PEOPLE!!!!!!!

I like the move, if for no other reason than a shakeup in the status quo. been bored watching the same games and being obligated to hate the heat.

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, 7 April 2022 16:28 (two years ago) link

brons got one more year at $45m and is eligible for an extension this summer will be interesting to see if he and the lakers want to continue

lag∞n, Thursday, 7 April 2022 17:07 (two years ago) link

pretty difficult to trade for a contract that big, getting enough cap room for bron also difficult, obvs neither is impossible but youd def be putting you team in a spot for a very old guy, guess theres a chance hed take a smaller deal tho

lag∞n, Thursday, 7 April 2022 17:13 (two years ago) link

seem likely hell play out next season with the lakers at least

lag∞n, Thursday, 7 April 2022 17:22 (two years ago) link

yah my guess is he finishes that contract then just takes one year lesser deals to ring chase. i guess? idk. could just re-up in LA cos he loves living in LA.

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, 7 April 2022 17:39 (two years ago) link

one obvious irony is that while $45 million is too massive a contract for most teams to swallow, it's still less than what bron makes every year on his side deals. He could work for a dollar/year and still make more than 99% of players.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, 7 April 2022 17:45 (two years ago) link

LeBron's legacy on the Lakers is so weird. 3 of the 4 years were utterly embarrassing, including two years where they missed the playoffs entirely despite LeBron playing at a pretty high level. and yet they did win a title, albeit during the bubble season where everything was upside down...so how much does it really count?? still though....a title is a title

frogbs, Thursday, 7 April 2022 18:07 (two years ago) link

seems like people dont really rate the mickey mouse title, but nevertheless bron and the lakers still get to add it to their totals

lag∞n, Thursday, 7 April 2022 18:09 (two years ago) link

I mean tbf coming back from 3-1 to beat the 73-win Warriors should count like 2 titles

frogbs, Thursday, 7 April 2022 21:53 (two years ago) link

no

jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, 7 April 2022 22:02 (two years ago) link

it should count as 3, its that impressive

class project pat (m bison), Thursday, 7 April 2022 22:53 (two years ago) link

degrees of difficulty:
--coming back from 1-3 hole
--beating the greatest regular season team of all-time
--winning a championship for a cleveland team of any sport

Seeing LeBron's block in Game 7 is one of the greatest sports moments I've seen live in my life.
