Are you saying he's on the gas?

Emperor Smeat 05-25-2017 10:33 PM

Lebron broke Jordan's record for most playoff points in NBA history.

In terms of comparisons, Lebron needed 32 more playoff games in order to break the record.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-26-2017 12:10 AM

Well, at least the C's have number one choice. Whenever LeBron slows down the C's will be there. Strong team and great season.

lmao remember after the celtics beat the wizards? yes the wizards lol. and they were chanting "We want Cleveland" lol are you sure?? anyway celtics if you were smart draft ball, monk, or fox. and in other news the king of akron will be once again an nba champion, destroy kd, and embarrass the warriors. biblical huehuehue

Ruien 05-26-2017 09:51 AM

Cs won't ever win a title with Thomas as their primary player. Really should trade him if possible but I doubt he has a lot of demand. Sure you will beat the good teams but you can't hide him defensively once you go against Golden State, Cavs, Spurs, Rockets, or any other legit title contending team.

Also, draft another guard will be terrible if you keep Thomas. LeBron has the ability to destroy any guard at will. Look at what happened to Derrick Rose.

Warriors have the weirdest record going on right now and all because of a meme from a toaster.

29-1 in last 30 games and the only loss was due to Klay Thompson having the night off.

If Warriors sweep the playoffs are they considered the best team ever in a single year? Only debatable thing is they would have lost game 1 to the Spurs is Leonard does not go down.

I still am curious how this year would have shaken out had Durant kept his ass in OKC and that organization picked up the piece of the puzzle they needed to do away with The Warriors- which if you remember, already wasn't exactly a cakewalk for GS.

Given how the post season ended, I'm pretty sure my Cavs would have still shit the bed and that Kev would still have gotten his ring... but how much better overall would the sport be if the former Sonics got there instead of being yet another Cavs/Warriors finals that everyone pretty much wrote off as a foregone conclusion since about March?

Besides Cavs having no real leverage for trades/deals, nobody big is going to go there unless its guaranteed Lebron stays after next season.

George didn't want to take a big pay cut while Butler didn't want to be stuck on another terrible team after next season once Lebron and pals bolt.

Firing him months after picking up his two-year contract option.
Firing him days after allowing him to draft Frank Ntilikina instead of Dennis Smith specifically because Frank plays the triangle.

If that was the best Indy could get, clear sign George is bolting to LA after next season. Also them joining Chicago in coming out the worst for their superstar deals.

Emperor Smeat 07-01-2017 12:21 AM

Apparently this was supposedly the offer the Pacers rejected on draft night for Paul George from the Cs. This was when it was well known George wanted to bolt to LA:
Quote:

#Celtics offered #Pacers 3 1st Rd picks (not #Nets/#Lakers) picks, Crowder, another starter for George on draft night
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Celtics offer on draft night for Paul George, per league source, was 3 first-round picks (not the Nets pick next... <a href="https://t.co/ItE6PTulen">https://t.co/ItE6PTulen</a></p>&mdash; Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) <a href="https://twitter.com/GoodmanESPN/status/880972844296945664">July 1, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

And supposedly the offer from last season's trade deadline by the Cs. This was before George's agent revealed the desire to bolt to LA after next season:

Ruien 07-01-2017 01:35 AM

Lol wtf.

Emperor Smeat 07-01-2017 02:48 AM

According to ESPN's NBA show tonight, Pacers mentality for making the George trade was:
* No trade to Cavs or Cs unless they could get something bigger than a king's ransom.
* Didn't want him to stay in the East.
* Willing to trade him to any West team not named the Lakers.

Reason they didn't take the Lakers' earlier deal was because they didn't want to make George happy after he tanked his trade value for the team. Same with Cavs and Cs that a Lakers deal only happens if the Lakers would give up a lot more to get him.

Also reported had the Pacers waited a bit till after the Cs got Hayward, they were set to get as a minimum 1 1st Round pick, Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder, and Avery Bradley from the Cs.

Ruien 07-01-2017 08:46 AM

Kyrie Irving wants out of Cleveland and implied Lebron as a big reason why.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kyrie Irving requests a trade from Cavs, sources told ESPN. LeBron James was blindsided and is disappointed: <a href="https://t.co/54afvYge9V">https://t.co/54afvYge9V</a></p>&mdash; Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) <a href="https://twitter.com/WindhorstESPN/status/888484430410428416">July 21, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Supposedly he hated being over-shadowed when Lebron returned from Miami and everything always being about Lebron whenever he'd get asked questions. Thought he would be treated on equal status with Lebron or would be groomed by Lebron to be the next mega star but neither happened.

Also probably realized how much of a dump the Cavs will be once Lebron left and didn't want to deal with the mess while Lebron got to have success elsewhere.

Ruien 07-21-2017 10:34 PM

Hahahahahahaha. Want to become a heel again? Chase of the other superstar on the team and then leave the following year. Will be hilarious if that happens.

Emperor Smeat 07-23-2017 08:09 PM

According to ESPN's Stephen A Smith, Irving believes Lebron was the one to leak his trade request to the media which caused another wedge to happen between the two.

Quote:

According to my sources, they believe LeBron James had everything to do with news getting out that Kyrie Irving wants to be traded, because Kyrie Irving and his representation and others met with the Cavaliers a couple weeks ago, and not a word got out until recently. They believe that LeBron James got word of it and was put off by it and leaked it. I’m not going to accuse LeBron of such a thing. I don’t know that to be true at all. But I know that’s what Kyrie Irving believes.

Ruien 07-24-2017 08:32 AM

Lol. God I hope Boston wins the East this year.

At least LeBron gives the media drama to talk about during boring periods like now. If he was only as good as Paul George he would be called the TO of basketball.

ClockShot 07-24-2017 07:57 PM

LeBron has his new tag team partner in case Kyrie Irving gets traded.

Derrick Rose signs for $2.1 mil.

Hope Cleveland has better luck than the Knicks had with him. As awkward as that sounds.

Ruien 07-24-2017 08:37 PM

Haha. Rose might be able to be a backup and stay healthy. No way he can be a starter and play the entire season.

He also may get home sick again and randomly leave for a few days.

RaginRonic 07-25-2017 10:37 AM

Here's hoping a Raptors player drops LeBron on his fuckin' head on the Air Canada Centre court and ends his season early, due to a severe concussion, so no one talks about LeBron anymore.

Would have been impossible because of Kyrie's salary I think. Cavs wanted either Brooklyn pick, Tatum, or Brown in any deal for Kyrie. Cs felt Tatum and Brown were more valuable than the Brooklyn pick since they also have another 1-2 potentially high picks for next year's draft

So Boston may or may not win the East this year but is there any team honestly competing with then the following season? And beyond. They have such a legit young team with more young 1st founders coming.

Emperor Smeat 08-30-2017 10:36 PM

Cavs-Cs agree on a revised trade for Kyrie Irving.

Cavs get:
Isiah Thomas
Jae Crowder
Ante Zizic
2018 1st Rd Pick (Nets)
2020 2nd Rd Pick (Heat)

Cs get:
Kyrie Irving


Cavs tried to demand one of Cs top young players or another 1st Rd pick due to Thomas' health status but got rejected on both by the Cs so had to settle for the 2nd Rd pick to avoid the deadline for the deal.

Emperor Smeat 09-28-2017 05:20 PM

NBA changing their draft lottery system starting in 2019 with the biggest change being punishing teams who blatantly tank to try to get the #1 pick. Instead of the worst team getting 25% of all lotto balls, they will only get 14% which is the same amount the 2nd and 3rd worst teams will get.

Also increasing the amount of spots per lotto pick from 3 to 4 as another way to persuade against blatant tanking.
