    I'm glad Lebron didn't go after Eric Gordon in the off season lol. He should be mad at JR for shooting 33% and making more than Gordon.

    He's right to complain. The GM did nothing to cover that hole and everyone knew that they needed a playmaker.
    There were many ways to cover it but Griffin didn't.
    Not only paying tax for Delly, but instead of drafting the unready and midget Felder, drafting Whitehead, or Brogdon. Or giving a contract to someone like Sean Kilpatrick who has been in D-league teams for ages and it took BKN having noone, to give him a chance. Or Tim Frazier.

    Did Lebron pay attention to this past off season where the Mike Conleys of the world were making 30 mill plus? There are limits dude and when you need to pay the damn Justice League a yearly salary don't get pissy because you couldn't swing a little more for Spider Man.

    This guy may know more about haymaking than playmaking at this point, but he's available.

    Also, I hope Deandre Liggins isn't offended. He's Corey Brewer with a mean haymaker, apparently.

    Lebron should have waited an extra year to join the Cavs. I imagine the league would have rigged another draft lottery for them. Griffin probably would have botched it by drafting Mario Hezonja, though.

    Is Mike Conley the same as Kilpatrick or Tim Frazier? No
    They don't need a starting pg they need a backup pg or at least a ballhandler. That wasn't so hard of a hole to cover ON THE CHEAP.

    I know that they do a lot of physical training, but a player who plays 30 minutes a game and doesn't miss any games puts in a 41 hour work year. I don't suppose that's a very fair way of looking at things, but these guys would die if they had the work load of a secretary.

    Cavs overpay their role players and struggle to develop end bench players.
    Spurs factory are the ultimate at cranking out talent on the cheap who do their roles very well.

    Lebron is partly at fault here since he semi runs their organisation from a player perspective which is not good. GMs have to be tough and cut players if they not worth the money they demanding, unfortunately this interferes with being a good team mate at times. Can't be both.

    I thought that mini Isaiah Thomas they got was pretty decent. I remember a game they played against Hornets and that kid was rocking.

    I thought he finally outgrown his primadonna tendencies. Turns out I'm mistaken.

    Tbh i think cleveland was more talented last year. With the addition of KD that has obviously changed in favor of the GSW.
    My problem with lebron saying stuff like that is, that he has 2 other all stars possibly even all-nba players, korver and shumpert coming off the bench and everything else other people in the league dream of.

    Tyler Ennis is a playmaker, so is B-b-b Bobby Brown.
