LeBron: "I'm here for the long haul. I would never waive my no-trade clause."

Worked out well for Carmelo, didn't it?

 

No doubt, but it's clear IT isn't on LeBron's Christmas list. I never said it's ALL IT.....I just said that the body language between the two of them is horrible. It takes two to tango, so LeBron is obviously culpable as well, but I assumed that was common sense.

 

If so, the only reason is because they allowed LeBron to do whatever he wanted.

This happened during his first stint too, and is partly the reason Gilbert had so much animosity with The Decision.

 

Agreed. It's their fault because they catered to Lebron too much.

This is like when you have a bratty child that throws tantrums all the time and screams "I hate you!" because you don't let them have a donut. It's not their fault, it's the parent's fault.

Gilbert is the parent here. He spoiled Lebron for years. Lebron threw a tantrum because Gilbert wouldn't max out Tristan Thompson. OK baby here you go. So cute! Lebron complained because Gilbert didn't want to commit long term money to JR Smith. OK baby, here you go! Look at that pouty face! Lebron grumbled because Gilbert didn't want to give Shump a 4 year deal. Ok sweetie-pie here you go. Who could say no that face?

Fire the coach!
Pay my friends (that use my agent wink wink)!
I don't have enough help! (despite playing with two hall of famers at the time)
This team is cheap because we don't have a 4th string guard that could start for every team in the league! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I don't think Dan Gilbert spends enough to try to win (despite highest payroll in the league and being a repeater tax payor)
Does Dan Gilbert even care about championships bro?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh you're so cute when you're angry snookems!

 

This is a non story, obviously he wouldn't waive his no trade clause dude would get blasted by the media and fans just like when he left for Miami

 

Looks like you were onto something

 

I just find much of the commentary bout Bron hysterical when paralleled with Harden's history...
Dont get me wrong... Harden is having a great year and he really seems to have dialed in his focus and eliminated (or at least limited) his distractions - and on his way to an MVP season - props to him! So Im not ragging on present day Harden...
But looking back on the Chloe saga, the multitude of strippers n skanks, vs Dwight, no team bus, not eating with team, etc etc... which was all discounted based on 'potential' and a couple years stats and how you have to cater to your stars in present day NBA... heck guys are still necrobumping negative threads... and thats not even going into post season disappointments...
and yet guys are questioning and pooh poohing someone who's already collected a multitude of hardware and will go down as one of the greatest - based on a one season snag when the dude is basically surrounded by mostly scrubs...
you guys are funny....lol

ps: I never thought I'd be the guy defending Bron Bron... but c'mon now... lol

 

Altman is a man possessed. I'd wager Bron is staying and we're out of the LeBron sweepstakes now.
