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

curious to see what kind of contract wade ends up w/ now. seems like it might be better for both parties if they just let him back in to the old contract.

I can see LeBron taking Bennett under his wing and turning him into a contender

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!!!!!!!

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
