Now Lebron wants to form another superteam with CP3, Melo & Wade..Can we disqualify him from GOAT co

I think you're overreacting. I'm not LeBron fan, but this would probably not happen for at least another 2 seasons. By then, they'll all be old AF and it would hardly be a super team.

 

too much talking about this...and then wonders why fans hate him or turn on him. Just say it would be nice in the future, if it can happen, and that's it.

 

Lebron constantly trying to rile up media discussion about him because he's sad Curry took his spot as the face of the league.

 

all these guys are at the tail end of their careers. by the time this may even be possible it wouldn't even really matter.

 

How is this a super team? CP3 and Melo are perennial losers.

 

I wouldn't care by then. It's when you're old that you should be able to do that, not in your prime like in 2010.

 

They can do whatever the fk they want man. They are taking a pay cut to do that. It's money out of their pocket, really you can't do anything with it. It does however make their championships tastes slightly sour.

 

This.

LeBron sees the writing on the wall. The Warriors and Spurs are historic juggernauts standing in his way and his hand-picked, micro-managed, and macro-coached team is not going to defeat them in the Finals.

LeBron's career is slipping by as he gets older and his legacy is fading quickly. Curry is on pace to do things only Jordan did, which was suppose to be LeBron's destiny as the chosen one. So, naturally LeBron wants to crawl back into the comforts of a super team - the only thing he knows best.

 

Funny how much flack LeBron, Wade, Bosh, CP3, Melo, etc. get when there are rumors of teaming up yet nobody bats an eye when SA forms a super team, when LAL tried to form a super team (TWICE!), when Boston formed a superteam, etc. Even the notion of KD going to create a superteam with the Warriors is not getting the same proportional level of hatred and disparagement that LeBron gets for a pretty mild comment like this.

Imo, he lost GOAT status because of his relatively short league dominance, not because he formed a "super team".
Also LeBron could win 10 titles straight and he'd be disqualified as GOAT by many people especially the Jordan stans and the Kobe stans.

 

Exactly. Lebron needs to face it, it's over for him. Curry is the new face of the franchise, Spurs are doing great things, next year the team where KD goes to will be another one surpassing his little Cavs team.

 

Windhorst:

How are these comments playing with his current teammates?

If you were on the team, you wouldn't think this is so funny. I know it's a nice little dream for these guys to have. The reality is this: Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony & LeBron James were all UFA in 2014. All of them elected to sign with different teams for different reasons. This is a pipe dream right now. LeBron needs to focus on his own team. That's something he's gotten away from and should get back to.

Can a piece of this dream happen?

Realistically, I can give you the road map for next year.

Kevin Love is traded for Carmelo Anthony;
Kyrie Irving for Chris Paul;
Wade leaves in free agency and signs with the Cavs.

Go ahead boys! Let's see it happen! Does any of that sound like it's coming together? No. But that's how it could happen. It would take something that crazy. I won't say it's impossible. I just told you how it's possible. Each of these guys have come to crossroads at different times in their careers and have decided to go to different situations. It's fun for us to talk about but it's never been reality.

 

Two completely different things...one is forming a super team as things develop and there is an opportunity to do so...and another is to plan it out ahead of time and state so publicly.

It's like what Dwight is doing now...he's already putting in action his plan to raise his stock and become more appealing to other teams, so he can leave. Fans don't want to hear/see that, when the team is still trying to compete for something.

 

33 year old superstars would be old as F?

That team together at that age would win the next 3 titles.

 

The Rockets analogy might not be so great. Anyone expecting anything more than a 4-0 or a miraculous 4-1 annihilation is delusional at this point.
Also, I don't even agree with the Dwight thing. I really don't understand what people expect him to do at this point. Dedicate his life to the Rockets and tell everyone he's going to resign for vet min? The fans are turning on him, the organization has turned on him, Dwight is not in the wrong for focusing on life after the Rockets.

 

I still think GSW's starting five of Curry Thompson Barnes Draymond and Bogut is still better than CP3 Wade Melo Lebron and ???.

 

Wade and Anthony would be like Malone and Payton back in the days when they joined the Lakers. Maybe worse.

 

They can do whatever they want. They're financially secure as individuals and can pick and chose how they want to control their own labor any way that they like.

 

You don't think the Spurs planned ahead to have a max slot available last summer and have the Duncan/Manu contracts end? Sure, they weren't flaunting it in the media but they were surely trying to form a squad. Same for LA.

 

don't know if its nostalgia speaking but yes 90's NBA was the best ever with awesome rivals and interesting story lines.

Today's nba is quite different with the new social media generation. But I think when playoffs come around players still care and things get competitive But sometimes people just like to complain. Curry and is amazing and competitive yet there is a whole thread on here on how people want to punch his face in and hope he breaks his ankles.
