At this rate the first round of the playoffs will be tougher.Is it even the FO's fault tho? The whole thing's fucked nonetheless
rip east lmao, western conference semis will literally be tougher than grand final
No, not really, if we are to believe reports that he asked to be traded before the draft and that he wanted to play alongside Jimmy Butler in Chicago.Is it even the FO's fault tho?
It's easy to see where he's coming from. Many say/assume that everyone wants to play with LeBron because he's the best in the league, is unselfish, and can carry a team to the Finals, but some superstars (especially a point guard) would hate to have his role diminished to a spot up shooter when he gets a pass from LeBron. Not saying that LeBron is at fault, it's understandable he'd be running the offense (given the Cavs +/- with LeBron off the court), but no doubt players are looking at the Warriors and their real unselfish ball movement wanting to play in that scenario rather than with LeBron. I think LeBron would actually want to play with a playmaker *cough* Lonzo *cough*, especially with his age and minutes getting up there, so he doesn't need to be the primary ball handler.Ramona Shelburne said:Irving had been thinking about this day for some time. In preparation, he'd reached out to people he trusted seeking advice on how to go about it.
Over the previous few months, the Cavs had been worried about Irving's mindset. They knew at times he'd grown unhappy with playing a secondary role on the team. Griffin had several conversations with Irving throughout the year, sources said, trying to find ways to work on the situation. But Irving had become irritated before, the side effects of James' greatness -- and largesse -- wearing on him. The Cavs had been able to navigate it, and they hoped to again.
...
Much of Irving's disenchantment with James was rooted in game play, sources said. James, as a once-in-a-lifetime talent, controlled the ball more than any other forward perhaps in league history. Which means the ball was out of Irving's hands more than he preferred. That said, Irving led the Cavs in shots in the 2016-17 season, averaging 1.5 more per game than James, and Irving averaged a career-high 25.9 points. It was the first time in James' career he didn't lead his team in shots per game.
THREE first rounders, Pritchard, and you take Oladipo and Sabonis instead??Dave McMenamin said:But they couldn't complete the deal. Indiana was working on another option with the Portland Trail Blazers, sources said, as they were offering a package with three first-round picks for George.
No thanks to you, Tristan Thompson."Sure, we've had our fair share of moments and kind of chaotic times, and that's obviously been well documented, but at the same time we've had a lot of joy," one Cavs player told ESPN. "I hope Kyrie is with us, that's all I got to say. At the end of the day, we're pretty f---ing good."
I read this article, apparently he's a beast in the ring. I wonder if he'd ever pursue any legitimate fights?https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndic...can-training-in-mma-in-post-nba-life.amp.html
Maybe Timmy isn't so boring after all?
Unfortunately it's unlikely given he's 41 but it'd be hella sick to see Timmy in the MMA after all the boring jokes his personality has gotten over the years. Plus I miss Duncan :(I read this article, apparently he's a beast in the ring. I wonder if he'd ever pursue any legitimate fights?
