Dinwiddie and Levert are my dudes on that squad at least until Russ gets back to how he started the season.

Why they still acting like Dinwiddie is mere insurance out there? If we really keeping it a buck he’s looks better than Russell.

6’6 can get to the rim and FINISH...and has developed his 3ball, nikka has stupid range and his playmaking skills are improved too. Just cause he’s little older doesn’t mean he can’t get better, he should be apart of their future.

Other than Ray and Wade, no one Lebron has ever played with was well-versed in winning basketball (Wade only had 1-2 playoff runs himself). Lebron took a hell of a lot of guys who had only experienced losing seasons or 1st-round playoff exits and got them their first Finals appearance and/or first ring.

Cavs went from an old, mediocre team that was only going to get worse to a young, mediocre team that has potential to get better. That means something.
:heh:

Because those "a hell of a lot of guys" were either too young, not surrounded by enough talent and/or playing in a tougher conference, prior to joining up with LeBron. It's hilarious how you try to attribute this shyt to him as if he's solely responsible, and not the fact that it's a collective of talent which is behind the actual winning. If he has these magical powers of taking guys who've had losing seasons or 1st-round exits, and taken them to the Finals or got them a ring, why did dudes with winning seasons and long playoffs runs in the past (IT, Rose, Crowder etc), end up having a losing season and not even getting to the playoffs because they were traded?

This drives me crazy when it comes to the draft. I can understand the reasoning for wanting younger players but to think older players can't improve is dumb.
