"Building around LeBron was miserable" -David Griffin (article)

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Bron still trying to control the narrative

MJ in the social media era would be

MJ is a comedic goldmine in his 40’s and 50’s after his playing career. Imagine the fukkery that’ll never come to see the light of day we’d learn about if he played now instead of 20-35 years ago.

Im a Bron Stan and yeah this is all believable and not very surprising. People forget, Griff was hired as the guy to rebuild the Cavs after Lebron left the first time. He was all about getting a youthful core and a new, progressive coach to compete in the long term.

Cavs were dead square in the middle of a rebuild before Bron came back. They were eyeing what was probably considered the final piece to get out of mediocrity (the Wiggins Pick) and then all of a sudden....Lebrons back.

.....But on a two year deal. And oh yea, he has an idea to trade the Wiggins Pick for Kevin Love . (Mind you this wound up being the best decision they couldve made but at the time, Griff surely wasnt happy about this)

Two year deal means that Griff was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If he tries to do right by the Cavs and will only make moves to acquire long term players who will carry the team in the future once Lebron is gone? He will be fired because Lebron and his people are in win now mode and you a short window.

If he does everything Lebron wants and builds around him a aging unsustainable yet champion calibre team? He will be fired because the Cavs will be mad if he mortgages their future and it doesnt work out. And if it does workout but Lebron leaves anyway? Griff woulda been right back at square one like he was in 2010.

Griff tried his best and guess what, got let go. Easy to see why.

In a highly mobile player league like the NBA, the GM job is more vulnerable now more than ever.

if you lose a Superstar and you arent the GM who masterminded a ballsy move (Masai) or you dont keep core pieces after a Superstar has a messy exit (Bob Myers) your days are numbered.
Sam Presti next on that summer jam screen.

Balanced take from a Bron stan

Dap+rep for the olive branch


The war still on tho

Rich Paul on the horn with Griff while Bron in the background sucking his teeth.

Call him yourself Bron

I mean that’s better than where they were without him, correct? I mean they traded them wack nikkas away. You don’t gotta still blindly defend them

Their record without Zo was worse than it was without Bron and we traded those "wack nikkas" for AD dummy we didn't just give em away

First Youtube comment:

"No franchise will need to give LeBron a statue cuz he already is one on defense"

That story about the GOAT licking all the donuts so nobody could enjoy them still got me

Imagine if we had a GIF of that shyt


Pan the camera to security after MJ stakes his claim...faces all

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Toxic toxic toxic. If the next generational talent follows lebrons blueprint, he's gonna have no excuse to win 7+ rings. Imagine being able to hop on a new team loaded with assets ever 2 years and have the ability to strong arm the management into making any move you want. That's fish in a barrel

But I thought y’all said LeBron was too controlling and was really the one building the squad.

Besides that obvious over-generalized statement, you are really trying to discount the opinion of a dude who was with this team day in and day out? Like Griffin's opinion doesn't mean shyt? He's just another coli hater as opposed to a guy who was in the front office seeing everything and deeply entrenched in all things Cavaliers related. Come on, fam

 

[Big Boss]

Your legacy is set in stone when u retire, this whole notion that a player still in his statistical prime can just coast for the rest of his career because he has 3 rings is hilarious

If you dont have anything to prove then get ur ass off the court


And other star players of this same era are building legitimate legacies of their own.... You think Bron can just sit on those 3 rings for the rest of his career when there are 2 other super star small forwards in the league who could match that number next year?

If Bron had 5 rings right now I'd think differently, but for all his GOAT claims he sure hasn't done much to outpace his competition in winning. Why is everybody eating in the Lebron era?

Lebrons legacy AS IS will have many holes in it that wont stand the test of time if hes doesn't win another ring. Honestly I think he needs 2 more rings to really separate himself from his contemporaries.

There was no need to say this. This is some bytch made shyt

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This was clear the moment he signed that contract with the Lakers.

Lmao honestly. You got the damn GM coming out. Kyrie dipped. Lue almost had a mental breakdown. Idk what Bron stans have to see before the cape comes off

Yeah because Rondo isn’t even a backup level PG anymore. Christ guy you can at least definitely stop pretending Ball is worth a fukk
