Because before James no one ever talked about free agency with other players?

Before James how many MVP candidates in their primes colluded with other all Stars to form a superteam? And by collude I mean agree to form a superteam while under contract with their current team?

Trump never colluded, dj. That's your hatred surfacing because Trump beat Clinton. I'm sick a of this , 7 days a week. The FBI is now in it's 12th month of investigating collusion and they can't find , nor shinola.

If they didn't find the investigation would be over but it ain't

If you are confident make a bet.

Man, I hope djohn doesn't have a job that involves arguing or making points 90% of the he says doesn't make any sense and usually contradicts something he said on a different day..

He's the kind of guy that won't ever change his mind though....no matter what he sees happen. That fool probably still thinks Harden>Kawhi.

Says the guy who praised LeBron for going to Miami and called him a coon for going back to Cleveland. (And then praised him again) And you want to talk about contradicting.

CROFL the Bulls being compe ion with Thibs running his players in the ground. LeBron going to Miami changed the land scape of the NBA and "superteams". Like how LeBron colluded with Wade and Bosh, the Warriors were recruiting Durant DURING the season. Yeah don't tell me LeBron didn't set a precedent.

Agreed D, that Miami move really ed the NBA hard, it's been on a downward spiral in terms of compe ion imho. Sure you can factor the CBA, but the biggest take is that lebrons friendly mentality. Being all buddy buddy and , it's kind of soft. I just don't feel like guys want to go at each other as much as before. It's kind of gay. Just seems like today's NBA is about making money and friends rather than being compe ive and wanting to embarrass the opponent.

[LkrFan]

he's playing the defending champs who have three franchise players in the starting lineup. Meanwhile KD and Curry are the only franchise players for the Warriors. Why is Irving and Lebron with Kevin Love somehow at a disadvantage talent-wise? Lebron is the best player since Mike. Irving has the best handles in the league, 1st overall draft pick, Uncle Drew and all.. while Kevin Love won a gold medal, was the face of the franchise in Minnesota and stat padded for years. Then you have another 1st overall draft pick in Tristan Thompson in the center, getting destroyed. Once you a fat Kardashian you never recover. Look what it did to Lamar and Harden. Look what it did to Reggie Bush and Kanye West and Kris Humphries who was bound for glory.

Who is on the Warriors that is so dominant? The beta Durant? Curry the chucker? Can't be Klay, did he make a shot tonight? David West? Zaza?

OH I know, they moved the ball while Lebron et al played iso-hero ball, a regression to the 4th year Heat days.

das colddddd

[LkrFan]

Absolutely. If you think Manu could have been a franchise player then by all means Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are franchise players, both led franchises. They don't have to make the playoffs to be franchise players. How is your 1st overall pick PG who was the focus on offense for the team until Lebron came back, not a franchise player? How is the guy who gets 30 points and 30 rebounds, makes 4 all star teams, 2 time All NBA 2nd teams and the Olympic gold medal team not the franchise player in Minnesota when he's the focus and the team built around him?

Was Cousins a franchise player in Sacramento? You bet. They didn't make the playoffs either.

What, suddenly a franchise player has to be top 10 talent?

No. Curry was drafted 7th overall. Even KD wasn't a 1st overall pick. Lebron, Kyrie both 1st overall picks. Kevin love, 5th overall pick. So you have 2 1st overall draft picks, a 4th and 5th against a 2nd and 7th overall. I know you want to factor in their season results but that's circular reasoning. You can't say they are better because they get better results. If they are better, it's because they play better together. Lebron's teams don't gel right away in these things but they still could.

Everyone is a fake star when they lose. This is the same team that won last year... when the Warriors won 73 RS games and 3 finals games.

He's the reason the Cavs won the Finals last year, or one of the reasons. You're hardly the bastion of pragmatism and NBA a en. If anything, your the NBA forum version of Boutons.

Exactly, and so was Wiggins. Cavs had 5 1st overall picks that they could play together. Hard to feel they are somehow at a disadvantage.

Irrelevant. It's who Lebron traded 2 1st overall picks for.

Meant 4th overall.

Are you really lamenting the lack of talent in Cleveland?

They are just as stacked at the Warriors. Their flaw is that Lebron isn't a great 3pt shooter and they don't move the ball well but none of Lebron's teams ever did. He's a great passer, but they've never had a system that really emphasized getting the ball to an open shooter, only to a specific player, namely Lebron. That's why his teams need to be stacked with talent, because if you're going to go iso on 80% of your plays, you better have some good 1 on 1 players and bailout bigs and shooters.

Poor Lebron, not enough talent on other teams for him to pilfer.

[LkrFan]

So CN wants to complain about Durant being beta when LeBron started all this ?

Truth.com ^^ yep yep

[LkrFan]

LeBron left a team whose GM thought getting washed up Shaq, washed up Ben Wallace, washed up Antawn Jamison, and losers like Mo Williams and Anthony Parker was a sufficient supporting cast to compete. Durant left a team with the MVP and a ton of frontcourt depth who would have had a real shot at a le every year.

Are you really justifying the FACT that LeHype's 2010 collusion with Wade and Bosh stemmed from the 2008 Olympics? That's rich.

Kobe never left Kwame, Smush, Mihm, Puke Walton and Mihm. LeHype supporting cast was waaaaaay better than these bums...yet here we are Kobe 5, LeHype 3

[LkrFan]

Trump colluded, not James

He sure as tried.

[Koolaid_Man]

Like I said before, if Durant stays aggressive and does this all series it's going to squash some of that criticism, especially if Klay's shot remains MIA and Draymond Green plays like the typical 4th option. Durant's play set the tone tonight and he out-shined everyone else on the floor.

You need to to get off Durants and stop throwing shade at the ....If Lebron wins another ring you're the gotdam fool that will be pissed at more of the MJ comparisons...Prioritize ...Prioritize get your ing head outta the sand already

[Koolaid_Man]

BUT!!! Lebron didnt leave a team that got back door swept and joined the team that back door swept them to guarantee himself a ring. You never saw Tim, Jordan, Bird, Magic, or anyone else do that "cant beat em, then join em ". KD could have asked for a piece or two, or maybe not add a damn thing and get it done that way. The back door sweep should have amped him up enough to try beating them again. I honestly think the Thunder could have won in a rematch. A few adjustments and the back door sweep would not happen again. Thats a true champion IMHO.

The problem is Westbrook....he's an Alpha mentality on steriods....it wasnt gonna work with Durant and Westbrook....sometimes when you get tired of the pussy it's time for some new strange. I don't begrudge Durant.....it does make it harder for the Spurs though LOL

[Koolaid_Man]

Wanna talk about this shiiiiiiiiit?

[Koolaid_Man]

I think Westbrook is a Better basketball player than Curry..on both ends of the floor... but sometimes it doesn't work out. However, may Curry continue doing the lawds work....LOL
