Fair enough. He did take it easy this year after all.
Gap has narrowed a bit between the conferences but still has a way to go. Perhaps a descimated Clippers team will help flip the balance.
I was talking about Lebron vs the West over the past 5-7 years. Didn't mean just CLE.

We shall see. I was truly hoping Cousins and KD went East, but of course not.
KD could have won a le with either Washington or Boston this year. Not saying he would have, but he certainly could have. Hard to argue either team would have been far below last year's OKC team.
Could have become a legend in either city - especially DC. But he took the easy route.
Cousins could still happen next offseason or sooner if the Pels fall apart.
Cousins is good enough to coach kill Pop, especially at Pop's age.
Didn't mean to the Spurs... meant to a team out East.
More realistically:
That would be a good get for that team, imo.
Celtics about to form their own "Superteam": they are going all in with Butler and potentially Hayward or Griffin..
The Celts need to put all of their assets to use. They mostly have squandered their recent riches. This could be the year they make a big move to put them in the elite class.
Butler would be a great get for anybody. I wanted the Spurs to offer LMA for him last off-season before this season devalued LMA. Last off-season - even up to the trade deadline - I think that was doable. Would love to see Kawhi and Butler paired.
Meh. Maybe. But only because GSW wouldn't have had KD. His best shot was doing exactly what he did. I don't care if it was the "easy" route. If your priority is to get a ring, why would you go with anything other than the very best chance at getting one?
So are you saying that Tim Duncan couldn't have done the same thing if he went up against the teams Lebron has gone up against in the East? I think if the Spurs were based out East and went up against the exact same teams, the Spurs would have made more finals than Lebron.
For some weird reason, no one of note seems to want to go out East since Lebron's been there. Most of the top teams have been out West with a higher concentration of the best players being out West too. Are they all scared to go out East?
I wanted to get Butler too. Can't remember if I wanted to include LMA, though. I think my package was a bit less (in other words, not realistic for the Bulls to be interested). HarlemHeat or someone said he'd be redundant here with Kawhi. I disagre. I think he would have been a good pairing with Kawhi.
Glad you used quotes. The league has gone ty if that's a super team.
If they land butler the target becomes Blake over Hayward, no?
I guess Hayward is less of a lateral move for that team...
Call it what you want, but when the dust settles this offseason the Celts are likely going to end up being an elite team, leapfrogging both the Cavs and the Spurs as the top challenger to GS.
That amount of talent with the coach they have could definitely be Elite as .
Horford, Thomas and Butler would go down as one of the worst super teams of all time.
Not if you add Blake or Haywood
Cool . Great memories. At least fans of SOME teams get a chance to savor this. We sure as have.
And this team is San Antonio, who never was a threat, even in the 90's with Robinson, or with Gervin...
So many years of fans knowing the inevitable...
Now- Things have definitely been different. For quite a bit. Even with the Justice League relocating to Sanny Franny to this day.
