2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (4 Viewers)

makes no sense at all that Lebron would go to the Lakers, though seeing him and Lavar Ball could be entertaining. 

I think it makes a ton of sense in the media mogul, bigger than basketball, has a house in LA already, wants to be a billionaire, and learn about post-NBA life from Magic kind of way.

no way Lonzo defers to Lebron

According to this awesome site I just found all on my own that let's you play with all the scenarios, they can easily make enough room for both of them.

Yeah, looks like they can have between 58 and 60M and change just by renouncing people. The only somewhat painful one is letting Randle go.

 

[Frostillicus]

So @Gr00vus would rather have Randle than Lebron and George.  Interesting take.

Not that LeBron yells at his teammates a lot, but he has a few times. How awesome would it be after Ball misses about 30 threes in a row for LeBron to just walk over to him during a timeout and show him a shooting motion and say "Come on man, how difficult is this?"

IMO it makes the most sense...besides the fact he bought a home there he is right in the heart of the entertainment industry...as his career enters the back 9 I am guessing this will have a lot of pull for him...if he leads the Lakers to a Championship his already huge star becomes that much bigger because it is LA and the Lakers...if he and George go out there they become immediate contenders and they have the young talent to acquire more talent...I see the scenarios with some of the other teams but I have felt for awhile he ends up leading a Showtime renaissance...

Gotta save room for the LiAngello cap hit.

His cap hit should roughly 16 pairs of autographed big baller shoes, right?

 Imagine if he tweeted this right after the finals. His kids would be getting gift baskets and birthday presents from every fan base in the league. All the cards would read " Here is a special gift on your special day. Make sure to tell your dad how much you like it and there is more where that came from"

Sincerely Memphis Grizzly fans.

No need, you're getting Kenny Smith for a coach == insta LeBron. LeBron can just have Kenny disappear into the video monitor whenever it's time for LeBron to do his coachin'.

I don't like that new website because no matter what I do the Wolves are pretty much stuck with this team.

aren't they loaded? KAT, Wiggins, Jimmy Buckets, Rubio? Why aren't they another one of these super teams already?

KAT hates Thibs, Wiggins hates defense, Jimmy’s about to start breaking down, and Rubio was traded.

 

[msudaisy26]

Pretty sure Thibs is going coach Carter on them as we type or breaking windows. 

 

[Frostillicus]

I'm interested to see what the Cavs do with Draymond since he has seemingly forgotten how to shoot.  I could see them testing out the Tony Allen treatment on him in Game 1.

In case anyone wants to talk about you know, basketball.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

so those guys all suck?

 

[msudaisy26]

KAT hates Thibs, Wiggins hates defense, Jimmy’s about to start breaking down, and Rubio was traded.

Butler played for 4 years with Thibs as his coach in Chicago, but played enough minutes to accrue 13 years of NBA service.

It is way more fun if we don't.

Try the Magic. It’s hysterical. I spent 10 minutes trying to delete Biyombo off there.

 

[Insein]

Give me a break.  You know damn well that was in the works.  LBJ is the GM of that team.

Well Philly will have a GM spot opening up soon. Just saying.

Did your screen give you these   too. I actually think I heard my computer laugh when I tried to get rid of Blake.

Yeah, but LeBron likes social media.  I think that might be a deal breaker going forward.

do anything you want on your fancy pant hot shot look at me website everyone is coming to brewtown so you are just twiddling your internets as far as i am concerned take that to the bank bromigos

Seems obvious. Try LeBron on him first and have LeBron sag off, let the rest of the guys overplay on the perimeter like Houston was, LeBron cleans up whatever comes into the lane. Less work for LeBron on D as long as he can avoid fouls.

You're looking at a lot of Curry/Green PNR's, which will force Green's defender to come up and switch on to Curry.

Why would GS want to end up with LeBron covering Curry? Way better options to force a mismatch with on Cleveland.

 

[Frostillicus]

Look I'm sorry but you don't even know they traded Rubio.  This thread isn't for you.  But there are probably a lot of other threads out there that would fit your needs.

Lebron on Curry isn't the problem, it's that you now have Clarkson or Hill trying to defend Green down low.

 

[Frostillicus]

You're looking at a lot of Curry/Green PNR's, which will force Green's defender to come up and switch on to Curry.

So basically Cleveland needs to figure out a way to get the ball back over to Green in a place where he can shoot a 3, but not be able drive and create.  I'm not sure that's possible.

I'm just here for the Colangelo stuff, honestly

but Rubio sucked so pretend I didn't mention him. aren't the other 3 guys all pretty great?

I've never heard of any of those guys.

I can actually see them trying that out in game 1.  It's pretty much a GS win anyway, might as well probe for some chinks in the armor.

(not a racist statement).  

 

[Gr00vus]

Lebron on Curry isn't the problem, it's that you now have Clarkson or Hill trying to defend Green down low.

Green didn't go into the post against Houston as much as he should have - why would he start doing it now? Plus you've got Cleveland's best on ball defender on Curry which it'll make it difficult for Curry to get the ball back to Green direct. Granted GS is great at swinging it quick, but why go to the trouble when you can get someone like J.R. Smith or Korver on Curry (or Durant, or Thompson) via a pick directly?

GS minus 1400

CLE plus 800

At Rio tonight.
