Stephen A. Smith says Dan Gilbert is trying to sell the Cavs

LBJ isn’t coming to the Rockets if James and Paul aren’t on board too. So no, you don’t trade them. However if I have to move Capela to get Anderson moved and that is what it takes, I do it. James can play any spot on the floor.

 

LBJ wouldn’t consent to that. He’d decline the trade, walk and join as a FA before that.

That’s the power of a NTC.

 

This.

I know he will be 34 years old, but a player like LBJ comes around every 40-50 years. People take him for granted. He has arguably been the best basketball player on the planet every year for nearly 15 years.

If you add LBJ to CP and JH.... you will be able to exert your will over every other team in the league. No one can match up. Not the Warriors... no one. The Rockets could even run James at the 4.

 

On a side note, have you heard anything about Les? Is he following the team at all? I would think this team would be one of his favorites.

 

You’d also extend his career. Unleash the Beard and Co. and Paul/Janes can pick their spots.

 

I finally figured out max resembles John Hamm

 

I wouldn't say they hate CP & Harden. I'd say they're not very fond of them. But trust me, if Lebron comes & we don't win the media will turn on them the same way they did Kyrie, Blatt, Love & everyone else associated with Lebron

 

No, it means he elevated them and left. It's not a nuke before he got there, it's a nuke after he gets there.

They already hate Harden and CP3. NOOO LOVE 4 HTown. Nothing new, Nothing to lose IMO.

 

Right.

When he leaves he nukes the place on the way out

 

I understood what he was getting at. I was saying p, regardless of his perceived exit (if he actually does leave) the Cavs are still in significantly better shape than they were in 2003. They have zero room to complain.

Like Joakim Noah said “who the hell wants to go to Cleveland?”

 

They have room to complain, they experienced the good life and don't wanna go back. I have way more wealth than I did 8 years ago, I should be fine if I lose my wealth back to my baseline. Nah life doesn't work like that.

Apples and oranges. LeBron is a commodity. If they want to improve they should start collecting assets for rebuilding.

 

LeBron is GM too.

Surprised by the Lebron killed the Cavs thing. The Cavs are nothing, never have been, without Lebron and will likely never be heard from again once Lebron leaves. Dan Gilbert is an egomaniac and a putz. He should have sold after the championship because it's over now.

 

Don't confuse hate for them ignoring us. Hate is what Kevin Love is getting now. It'll be 10X worse with Lebron here

 

If we sign Lebron, we’ll have 48 minutes of at least 2 hall of fame playmakers on the court.

 

Who cares what the whole world (ie media) thinks? Last year they jumped through all sorts of hoops just to crown Westbrick mvp, this year Harden is the frontrunner suddenly no one is interested on who the MVP is.

Lebron+paul+Harden will kick GSW's ass. And if the Rox win a ring maybe Lebron and paul commit for 3 years. Thats worth a shot.

 

Why are you so concerned about what other teams think? Its not like they love houston in the first place so nothing will change
