    The cavs are trash

    I lol at people who thought they did well at the trade deadline.

    Hill- he was in sac. No man's land.

    Clarkson is a bum. Magic fleeced the Cavs.

    Nance is a good athlete who can be okay but out of the league in a few years.

    Hood they can keep maybe but the jazz didn't want him.

    LeBron will have to carry them all the way.

    If they go to the finals it's cause lebum carried them.
    If they don't he had no help.
    The story of his career.

    Can he really shoulder the load eight years in a row?

    If he pulls it off this year, he passes Jordan as greatest ever.

    Does pulling it off mean losing again in the finals?

    The east is like a D league in itself since this run started. If he didn't make the finals it seriously would count against him. Its that big of a joke.

    Fade the Cavs from here on out. They will be swept in the 1st round of playoffs.

    LB - I hate to break the news to you, but Lebron is done. I know he is still a superstar, and he went way out of his way to pat himself on the back with is stats. But I have been watching the team Lebron build, and then rebuilds, and now rebuilds again. Everybody is done wanting to play with him. I predict he will not ever win another championship ring, but I would go one further - Lebron will never win another conference series.

    Team Lebron has jumped the shark. He should team up with Westbrook, so they can admire their stats together - cuz neither of them will win a conference title going forward

    Lebron is probably the most valuable player, in any sport, at any time in history.

    No joke.

    He's that good.

    I agree he is the most dominant NBA player in the game today. But nobody of serious talent wants to play with him. He has focused 100% of the attention on him, and it is not working. He is the owner, the GM and the Coach. And if he loses it is his teammates fault, and if he wins it's all his credit. He has driven away some really good players over the years - just like Westbrook

    No, listen, man.

    The stats back it up.

    When he leaves the team, they crumble into nothing.

    When Michael Jordan left the Chicago Bulls, they went from 58 wins to 56.

    He's more VALUABLE. Maybe not better, but more valuable.

    What makes you think no one wants to play with Lebron?

    Kyrie is the only one that wanted to leave. He wanted to write his own history and not be a footnote.

    Russell Westbrook is the guy that drives players away. He doesn't know how to make his teammates better.

    We will find out who wants to play with James. No free agent of any quality has come to the cavs since James came back or when he was there before.

    Everyone left the second time.

    Thanks for making my point though, Michael had more to work with. We both agree on that.

    No Michael had a great coach. LeBron can't play for a great coach cause he wants to be the coach.

    That's because no one wants to play in Cleveland. It's the shithole of America.

    Bulls went from winning the title (3 times) to not winning the title. What else matters.

    Bulls win 0 titles without Jordan. So he was worth 6 rings. How many rings has Lebron been worth?

    I don't. People like him... I don't think he is great. Let's see how he does coaching a team without Lebron... cuz he has not handled his job WITH Lebron so well.

    He was just surrounded by incredible talent.

    Kind of like Robert Horry. Just at the right place at the right time.

    I was joking. He sucks. And without Lebron, they'll be lucky to win 25 games next year.

    Oh stop it man. If James was such a great guy to play with players would go there. He can't get even a mid tier player to come. It's his attitude.

    Maybe he is a huge douche. I know I can't stand him.

    What's your point? All you're telling me is he wins with lousy players.

    Lebron is still a great player and maybe the best in the sport still today.. Bottom line is that he surrounded by trash.. It's a one man show.. He can't do it all on his own..

    Mike > Lebron and there is no shame in that.

    What Lebron has done since the day he entered the league is insane. The expectations placed on him were/are unreal. He brings a lot of it on himself but to be the best player in the world year over year and missing virtually no games.....dislike him but don’t trivialize what he has done.

    Still a good amount of games to go before they really matter. About a month for someone to step up from the bunch as a number 2 scorer. At the very least, a group that can get offense for the 6-8 min per game lebron will sit down the stretch and playoffs. Love coming back will help space the floor on offense for them.

    Do we trust Toronto to beat Lebron 4 out of 7? Boston is still a year away from running the East.
