The only option with cap space better than Los Angeles is Philadelphia. And to date the Sixers have been considered a long shot, like the Rockets. Unless you think he’s returning to Cleveland, which I don’t.
To be the man u have to beat the man. How great would a championship be if we beat gsw and the LeBron Lakers?
I have consistently said the same regarding the Spurs trading Kawhi to the Lakers, but you can’t ignore that the idea became far more likely yesterday. If the Sixers and Celtics don’t step up their offers, it’s either trade with the Lakers or ride it out and hope to change his mind if you are San Antonio.
Guys, the Warriors got seriously distracted for the last season and it's only going to get worse now, especially after the Durant blasts at the parade. They only beat us with a combination of: their injuries healing at the right time with ours getting worse at the wrong time; NBA funny business w' swallowed whistles; 0-for-273. We can still add some very good pieces and get better this season. Beard is in his prime, with only one big goal remaining. We could totally Clubber Lang the Warriors' Rocky next year. Prediction for Warriors? (We could also look a lot like Tex Cobb, but we can save that reality check for another thread, LOL.)
It is true, the last few days I been thinking and if he comes it will be rings because of lebron. It will headline Harden couldn’t win without him Ect. That’s why I’m still upset at cp3 injury because them winning with lesser talent would of meant more than 2 rings with lebron .
And since this is my thread, thought I'd have some fun with each of these: CP3: 5 years, $183 million guaranteed (last year is 50% guaranteed) Capela: 5 years, $100 million Ariza: 3 years, $36 million Moute: 3 years, $14 million (using most of the taxpayer MLE) Anderson: Waived and stretched Next Moute: Melo, after a buyout (and he plays better than expected) Gordon extension: plus 2 years $22 million. Total remaining contract: 4 years, $50 million Melton: we use the remaining MLE to sign him to a 3 year deal Butler chatter: starts in early January when wolves aren't playing well Also, I think we will look for another playmaking guard...watch Tony Parker Green and Wright are re-signed CP3 / Melton Harden / Gordon / Green Ariza / Moute Melo / Tucker Capela / Wright
I won't say I'm happy, but not upset either, adding one or two of rotational players (don't have to be star, someone at Luc level), we will be more competitive than last year.
I'm in the camp who would prefer to win WITHOUT Lebron. That said, adding rotational players is a real challenge for this team. It's really the only reason I embraced Lebron.
Hakeem didn’t have to play the warriors in an era of stacked teams. I’m not glad the best player in the nba isn’t coming
Is this a joke, or has Nostradamus joined ClutchFans? Now that it's extremely unlikely that we could get him, I'd love for us to beat whatever team LeBron ends up on whenever we play him, or during our playoff run this coming season. That's the best way to respond to not getting James. Beat him.
Yeah, i was all in for Lebron cause it was imo the only way to give us a great chance to win going forward, but i also always thought that winning with Lebron would've been...i don't know how to say but, let's say not as exiting as winning without him, there was going to be a lot of talk about "Lebron championship with his third team...how many he'll still win?...will Lebron surpass Jordan?" bla bla. Again, can't lie, i would've been super happy to get him cause i want the Rockets to win most than everything, but trying to look at a bright side yeah, if we'll ever win without him it'll be better so, move on and hope for the best, it's going to be hard but we're not that far.
