Marks a front office insider, I doubt he posts that if it was the norm. The Cavs number is crazy

The Cavs number is completely meaningless. Over 80% of those trades were just flipping around late 2nd round picks for cash, playing salary cap games to save on luxury tax, or swapping scrubs who weren't going to see the court anyway. All that tells you is that David Griffin liked to keep himself busy with basically meaningless little deals. There were three main trades to build the team in 2014 (Love, JR/Shump, and Mosgov) and then what? Besides trading for Korver, can you even name a trade after Bron's first Cav season that was supposed to move the needle for his title hopes?

I just can't take much more of this. I am absolutely sick of watching the NBA constantly arrange for LeBron to be successful. Never in the history of the NBA has one player needed so much "help" to remain relevant. You can add to the 66 players after today.

Bron is averaging 30-7-7 and just set the all-time scoring record, but you think D-Lo will be what makes him relevant?


This sounds like someone who doesn't have the slightest fukking clue what kind of squads Russell, Wilt, Magic, Bird, etc. played damn near their entire careers with. Front to back their careers were waaaay more stacked than Bron's has been.


Especially laughable you said this the same day Kevin Durant got added to a team that was already a Finals squad....for the second time. He's actually the guy you're pretending Bron is:

* Started his career with two future MVPs in Westbrook and Harden.

* Then left to join the reigning two-time MVP and two other all-stars on a stacked squad that had already been to back-to-back FInals.

* Left there to team up with recent MVP Harden and all-NBA Kyrie on a squad that had already made the playoffs without any of them.

* Then jumps to another team just off of making the Finals with two co-stars who were MVP candidates in recent years (Booker 4th last year, CP3 5th the year before that).

For one to understand what this means you'd have to compare this with other players.

Heat added 8 players last season, 6 the year before that. That alone is more than Lebrons 4 years

So is Haslem the problem now? Or perhaps Jimmy Butler?

This was my point earlier this league has a lot of movement lol idk how someone managed to flip that into lebron hate.

 

[MostReal]

Folks hate LeBron so much that black folks be yelling 'he should just put his trust in the white men in charge!'

no I actually won't him to retire

how much help does steph need

@MostReal

he hasn't switched 4 or 5 different franchises to achieve this, this is one team doing work with it's core intact.

Is there any chance he plays for the Jazz? Aside from him saying they have racist fans, they have a good core and I’m sure it’s a fresh start. I can’t see him helping out the Bulls much and he will ruin the cohesion of the Clippers. But I just feel he can be a great 6th man for the Jazz.

Damn Scottie Pippen Jr about to play on the same team with somebody who hooked up with his mom(Beasley).

Gotta say this was a complete dogshyt trade for the Jazz
All they got was a single first round pick (protected at that) when all 3 of the players held at least some value
