    Yep, no one wanted to hear it either.

    I know I didn't. I never slandered Cyber or insulted him over it though. I just thought Lebron cared more about winning is all.

    Thanks @cyberx

    This is real and pure
    You are not reposting Hot Take shows from ESPN or Fox for cheap suckers who don't pay for content

    you are really contributing and you think on your own, not like the lazy suckers here who follow Max Kellerman on Instagram and listen to Lil Pump or Lil XAN and play Fortnite all day

    Being pure is the most important part of clutch fans and being a human being

    EGO plus fillers and picks are the only outside chance of acquiring him, if Butler does not get a near max or max contract. I don't believe Morey will be able to get it done.

    Now go do your digging in the original Paging Cyberx thread. Calling deals at the deadlines left and right.

    This was my main gripe with trading away knight for an expiring contract. Our flexibility to make a trade in a situation like this is much worse than it was a few weeks ago

    Depends on how long the contract is. If we avoid luxury this year and he signs for 3 years then yes. Tilman said he will pay luxury but not repeater.

    I personally would rather have depth like keeping high impact but lower cost players such as Faried.

    Bro please dont be on the wrong side of history...I'm tell u now that's silly. Jimmy wants to win. Is friends with harden....is from tomball...wants to be in a iso system.....james has no problem with enough guys as long as they baller see cp3. His personality is perfect for guys like that.

    EG only makes 14M Butler wants the max which is around 30M-40M.

    1 scenario I can see is Rox trading both EG and Capela (Holic will j*zz his pants for sure) to make room for Butler and then replacing them with vet mins. Not sure if worth it though.
