I'm still perplexed LeBron and Tyronn Lue haven't figured out yet how to properly use Love.

They should consult Rick Adelman (Timberwolves) or Coach K (Team USA). Maybe even ask David Blatt :manny:

I think he opts in this season, and waits for the big money jump and if Cavs and his chemistry is still trash he goes to LA. Kobe will be done by then, LA is his home. I don't see him going to NY for that media with a guy like Melo

:dahell: Playing with 'Melo is better than opting in and staying with a guy like Lj who has been belittling him since the season started. Lj blamed all his teammates for the early season losses, saying it was due to them "having losing habits and not having played meaningful basketball" when Lj was the one playing like trash. He was on Twitter recently taking credit for them finally making the Playoffs. Love is a chump if he opts in.

Wade and Bosh went from teams that had losing records in 2010 straight to four straight NBA Finals when they joined up with Lebron. Kyrie and Love are doing the same right now.

And the only "all-star teammate" Lebron had in Cleveland was Mo Williams...who otherwise is a nice 6th man, if you want a 6'2" shooting guard who can't defend and has trouble making decisions off the dribble.

Bosh, a career 49% shooter, shot 54% and 52% in his last two years with Lebron, then immediately dropped to 46% this year when Lebron left. He hit 74 threes last year alone after only hitting 50 combined in his 7 years with Toronto. He became known as an elite defender after that not being part of his rep before. And if you like advanced stats, Bosh's best TS% years were with Lebron and his best ever win shares year happened with Lebron too, even in his reduced role.

Wade's 4 best shooting seasons were his 4 seasons with Lebron. A career 48% shooter hit 52% and 55% the last two years, then fell back down to 48% when Lebron left. His best TS% was with Lebron too. Wade had already had tons of injuries and was on the decline (nearly 30) when Lebron came into town, but having Lebron on the team gave him the luxury of being able to take off 20 games a year, definitely improving his longevity.

Irving, a career 45% shooter, is hitting 47% this year and having his best three-point shooting year ever. Even with Lebron and Love taking a lot of shots, he's only 0.6 away from his career best scoring average. His TS% is easily his best ever, his win shares are through the roof better than ever before, and his PER is a career high.
That was a 2 way street breh, Lebron also had his best seasons in Miami. This need to credit one side of the equation is annoying as fukk to me. And we didn't have a losing season in '10. Lebron's fg% dropped from 57 to 49 this year

Shut your ugly ass up. Nobody wants to read that textual vomit. What playing with Carmelo gets you is usually a first round exit. Playing with James usually gets you at least to the conference finals. The "facts" you post are junk facts and easily discredited. Most of your writing is garbage posting. Now go crawl back into whatever dark and grimy hole your ass crawled out of. People who know something about sports are talking here. :camby:

Yeah the heat were 12 games over .500 with Wade and Michael Beasley as the second best player. They all made each other better.

I'm only responding to the claim that Lebron made his all-star teammates worse. That isn't meant to disparage the positive effect they had on him. He definitely played his best years alongside them in Miami too.

I really don't understand NYK's fans obsession with Dragic, dude is overrated. And Early as our starting 2 :huhldup:
:yeshrug:

decent two way point guard and one of the better point guards in the league. Not sure we can get a better one this offseason. And yeah, Early as our starting 2 isn't ideal unless he develops offensively
