        ESPN's agenda makes me sick... all under the guise that LeBrick needs more help

        then they have the gall to ask "But could the Clippers actually pull this trade off?" as if the Cavs would have to be "convinced" by the Clippers to make this move? LMFAO!

        it was known that Irving was a Blatt supporter and Irving's relationship with LeBrick has long been in question. OF COURSE the Cavs would make this trade in a heartbeat!

        sure, Kryie is a lot younger but he's nowhere close to the level of PG that Paul is. Kyrie doesn't even understand the position and plays zero defense to boot. plus, LeBrick and Paul are good friends.. surprise surprise.

        yet here you have ESPN shamelessly stumping for this trade while trying to fool the public into believing that it'd be a great move by the Clippers.

          CP3 and LBJ are not good enough to win a championship either. Cleveland should never have traded Wiggins away. Why did it become championship or bust when LBJ came to town. The Cavs had the number 1 freaking pick, they were a long way from winning a championship. LBJ could have groomed Wiggins to be his Scottie Pippen instead of trading for Love and watching him choke and get exposed every night

                In LeBron's mind timing is winding down, been in league 13 years, its really about legacy now for him, he wants to be seen as one of the really all time greats with like 4+ rings. But a guy like LeBron who's about finding open guys and making the right play, playing with Kyrie has to make him sick, he got on Kyrie last year telling him he cant have another game with zero assists again and thats pathetic for a pg. Clippers seem like they arnt ever gonna get it done anyway, Kyrie going there I wouldnt be surprised because even with the talent Clips have they cant get over the hump, let him go there and be the scorer he wants to be, putting up numbers but never getting close to a ring and staying hurt on top of it.

                  Im guessing LeBron was thinking he plays my position it doesnt make sense for him to be here, it would have probably stifiled Wiggin's growth.

                      Rumor based off rampant speculation.

                      you clicked and viewed and even started a thread about it so espn wins again.

                      shame nbc sports or fs1 can't just get a program to rival sportscenter. Until that day we are at the mercy of
                      espn for sports and they can keep churning out this garbage.

                        bold is highly debatable, rest is fine.

                        Paul would make the Cavs offense look completely different. no more clock-grinding LeBrick ISO's or LeBrick playing point forward. Paul runs an efficient offense and makes others a whole lot better. he's also a great vocal leader, a grinder, and cares about playing defense. Cavs have plenty of leapers, imagine the pick-and-rolls with him, LeBrick, Thompson, Shumpert. hell, even guys with just height like Mozgov and Varejao would benefit tremendously.

                        Paul's on a totally different level than Irving, which is why ESPN should be ashamed of itself. Doc Rivers is an average coach at best, but i trust he would die laughing at any such proposal.

                          Say what you want about LeBron, and I don't really care for him either, but the man has a killer instinct without a doubt.

                              LeBron overrated...has never been the closer...physically big and such...but just not great scorer. He is past his prime and never will be the closer..scorer of jordan. He only won in Miami cause he had wade. It's funny how role players on golden state strip him of the ball and defend him. Last year playoffs some of the things they did to.him was wicked.

                                hah true of course they win, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be responsible for the nonsense they peddle.

                                seriously, how gullible do they think NBA viewers are by trying to convince them this would be a good trade for the Clippers?

                                    Which is my point, there is no rival to keep them honest. The heartbeat of espn is sportscenter which in turn produces the spinoff shows. We have no choice but to listen to espn's narrative. Nbc sports and fs1 are super incompetent for not exploiting that. Both of the afformentioned networks have deep pockets and could easily bid on live sport contracts espn currently has a stranglehold on.

                                        Lebron forced them to trade for Love. He has pretty much hand picked this roster and now the coach.

                                          I will never forget how Lebron quit on his Cleveland team in 2009. He literally gave up. Setup his move to Miami.

                                            Clippers would do this move in a heartbeat. Paul is a couple of years away from being washed up.

                                            First I've heard/ read about it. Trade makes a lot of sense both ways. I can see it getting done, simply because the Cavs owner is impatient.

                                              yeah it makes since for both sides its not like the clippers have gone anywhere with the paul and griffen and jorden dont like him either so maybe a change of sinceary would of be good. It still doesnt mean the cavs could beat the warriors or spurs though.

                                                  Of course LBJ has the killer instinct, guys just love hating ob lbj, just like guys love hating on Obama

                                                  When you're black and great, the white will hate
                                                  Wrong, wrong, wrong.

                                                  It's white people that are actually the ones who are paying to watch them play. No white audience, no basketball.

                                                  LeBron is one of the good guys, and a person that kids can look up to. It's not easy being good, because there will always be haters, but I always give credit where it's due. He plays his heart out.

                                                  Comparing the president to lebron is like comparing the devil to God. Your president is not one of the good guys.

                                                      Will like to see CP3 with Lebron. Love will be more dominant with CP3.
                                                      Still they need a Kobe type superstar/Leader.

                                                          lebron is not a good man and doesn't always "play his heart out" don't be fooled by espn.

                                                            Lebron always been weak as a person on court

                                                            Of course unreal talent but like I said not a killer
