The cavs tried to get paul george after the warriors got KD. They were also going to trade K LOve for him so its minus one "all star".


As for the lakers, lebron never tried to get paul george actually. Thats a straight up lie. Paul George re-signed with OKC before lebron got to LA.
Is it K-Love? I thought it was Kyrie. Every day different story. Maybe if LeNomad's cronies Rich Paul didn't get Dan Gilbert to overpay Tristan and J.R Smith they would have been able to fit Paul George into the team

No one talked about the Lakers. Stop hallucinating

Ok Sheikh!! I have heard you. KD was wrong, I was wrong, every warriors fan was wrong, everyone who doesn't see any wrong in KD's move was wrong and you're right. Yay!! grin

EUREKA! Finally a warriors fan with a functioning amygdala! After so many damn years, the lebron fans have prevailed. Man there were times when i thought you lot were hopeless, i almost gave up but i kept going. I always believed that one day we will get the better of you and sure enough, against all odds, the day has come.


A40 Its over! The white flag has been waved! The King James Gospel prevailed! What a time to be alive!!!

Lets put it this way, take lebron off the heat and put him on the bulls or the pacers or the sixers or celtics, who would've won the east? He made them viable finals teams not the other way round.

Thats the point, the warriors should beat the blazers because the warriors without KD are still the best team in the league. Why would you add to that and ruin everyones chances? A team you had the chance to beat on your own and blow it?
Then he should have stayed in Cleveland if he could do it all by himself. There was no need recruiting Bosh and Wade. How many times did he win the East before joining the Heat?

We all know KD didn't join the Warriors because of the Blazers who are arguably not even the second best team in the West. Like I said if they beat the Bucks or Raptors without KD then you might have an argument. But then KD and Golden State are not in the business of helping people's chances

The aim is Domination not parity. The onus is on the rest of the league to stop Golden State

If they had given him one reasonable second he would have. He won the east once then the celtics went and put 3 hall of famers on the same team. How was he going to contend with that with friggin mo williams?

OKC as built couldve challenged golden state and should've beat them if not for KDs choke job. There was parity and instead of figuring out how to beat them in or out of OKC he decided to go overwhelmingly skew the balance in one teams favor.

i have no problem with the warriors going after him, but hes a b-cth for going there. At least he did whats best for him right? Well hes still a b-cth! mess with the bull you best make sure you're ready to get the horns.

But a short cut is not a short cut. Some shortcuts just mean the race is pointless to begin with. One took a short cut so he can compete without handicap, the other took a short cut to make sure no one can compete but him.

Of course he took a short cut. Just like jordan did when he got pippen and eventually rodman, just like pierce garnett and allen did? oh wait its not a short cut when a front office puts together a good team?

All lebron wanted was a decent team to compete and if he had that he would've stayed. KD had that, choked and then ran to the team he couldnt beat.

Lmaooo he got Rodman after they won their first threepeat so Rodman don't count, Pippen got drafted. He was developed and wasn't a lottery pick. Fail again

The GOAT faced Detroit 3 times. And beat them the 4th time. He didn't run to South Beach to team up with two other all time greats.

The Celtics Big 3 were all on the wrong side of 30. Not in their prime so try another excuse

LeNomad could have gotten just Bosh and that would be better than what he had in Cleveland. Why did he need a Finals MVP and former scoring champion, Bosh, and other legendary spot up shooters to tilt the competitive balance in his favor

He needed two stars, not one aging vet and one star but two stars who had led their teams to a title and the playoffs respectively. And more importantly were still in their primes to take on the Celtics whose best three players were at an average age of 35

Nobody cares what OKC should have done. They were also in LeNomad's situation only difference being KD was in his 9th year in the league. Had he beaten Golden State he would still have had to take down another team with 3 all-stars. Your MCM destroyed parity when he ran to link up with 2 other all-stars in Miami. That's why at their unveiling they bragged about how many Championships they were going to win till the league gave them a reality check


If you don't have any problems with the team that beat him but still went to get him cos they needed him then your blame priorities are not in order

When the celtics put together 3 franchise players in their prime did anyone protest? When the celtics were put together were they 35? Did that make the boston celtics the best team in the league? They won one friggin ring! There was no guarantee that they were better than everyone else. The warriors on the other hand were better than everyone else without him!

Lebron was excited the finally had a decent team after dragging more bums than tom daley all his career! KD on the other hand, if he could beat a 73 win warrior team with 3 allstars as well, why shouldnt he take his chances against the cavs? Naah he'd rather choke and skew the balance.


This literally makes no sense whatsoever! They already humiliated him, they have nothing against him. Why wouldnt they want to get better, him on the other hand has no competitive bone in is body.

The joke is on you. Pippen was present for all the 3 previous losses. He could have decided he couldn't win with Pippen and left

Jordan didn't bolt when Pippen his second best option was averaging 10 and 13pts per game the entire postseason. He stuck with him and groomed him till he improved

Why did they add Bosh when they already had Wade. LeNomad and Wade would have been enough but they had to add a third all-star to destroy the league.

Which kin yeye prime. KG and Ray Allen were in their 12th and 13th season in the league. Even Paul Pierce the youngest of the bunch was in his 10th season.

Are you asking me if the Celtics didn't become the best team in the league? They literally vaulted from 24-58 to the best record in the league.

If there were no guarantees that they were the best team then that is an even bigger indictment on your LeNomad who ran to Miami because he couldn't beat them and ran after his second attempt so make up your mind.

How often has anyone beaten two three all-star teams in one postseason with just one all-star? Not even your LeNomad did it so take several seats

They humiliated him but came crying to him literally to come and save them. He saved them and led them to two more rings. Shikena

Lebron too won without Ray Allen too

And Rodman led the league in rebounding consecutively from from 1992-1998 including all the years he was with that bald gambler. Rodman averaged 15 16 and15 rebounds the seasons he won with the bulls. Also made the all defensive first team. Rodman was never a scorer.

The joke is on you. Pippen was present for all the 3 previous losses. He could have decided he couldn't win with Pippen and left

And this is where you compare Jordan to Kevin Durant not lebron. Lebron never had a second like pippen, KD had westbrook. Jordan didnt bolt, he stayed and beat the pistons. Just like lebron when he couldnt get a decent team formed a decent team to beat the celtics.


Why did they add Bosh when they already had Wade. LeNomad and Wade would have been enough but they had to add a third all-star to destroy the league.
LOL! Even with lebron it took them 6 to beat them without garnett and 7 games with garnett. No wade and lebron wasnt enough, that celtics team as a tough team with Hall of famers and seasoned veterans. Went 10 men deep too.

What blunder? Mike Miller, Shane Battier, Rashad Lewis weren't excellent spot up shooters excluding the greatest ever at the time Ray Allen? Are you hungry?

Legendary spot up shooters. LOOOL! Eddie house was arguably the best shooter on that team.
