Jerry buss didn't leave the makers in smart hands
Lakers gave been making some dumb decisions -
FOH with your IG Meme cliche ? ?
They have more than enough
They got outplayed and they lost
These ? could've actually had Melo and the excuse would be "now we just need a point guard like Rondo"
You that angry over what? I never said Miami didn't get outplayed. I said 3 on 5 don't win a title. In this case it was more like 1 on 5. A Wade that cant even even get enough lift to make layups and a Bosh who isn't making shots is far from enough to beat that Spurs team -
SMH @ KD
bet he wish he had that system compared to that trash they run in OKC
Kawhi was more efficient, played way better defense and attacked Lebron head up
PG act like he was in awe of Lebron almost the whole series. While Kawhi said ? em and balled -
Smh @ ? still being on that "the spurs helped em out in 2013 ? " ? just can't let it go

Season over time to dead this thread and make an off season thread
-
Well make one
-
Everything we see and how we're conditioned to rate players says Paul George is beter than Kwahi, but in the same vien of what Durant said: what if Kwahi was the go to be a go-to guy on a team? Wht if he got 20 shots/game?
I look at it kinda like Pippen, where people wondered that for years, then the year Mike left he still "only" avg 22ppg, but he led them in every category. Thats how i think Kwahi is and will be. He'll never avg more than 21/23ppg, but will be a 2 way monster
But he WILL have to start talkin whever its finally 'his' team.
In that respect i def see what KD is saying, Kwahi can quietly eat w/out the real pressure that go-to guy stars have. So u cant compare him to guys like PG for that very reason.

S/O to dis years Heat team being worse then da 07 cavs finals squad statistically LMAO @ da Wade/Bosh combo almost averaging da same as da Boobie Gibson/ Drew Gooden combo
But...but...but...Lebron never could. have won a championship with Cleveland because he had nobody.
Ngga that stat just supported that! ? Did you watch this years finals??
Ngga are you high?
? how does that stat support that? This was essentially the same team that he won the championship with last year. So if this team that was capable of performance below that of the Cleveland team was also capable of winning a championship, how can anyone continue to act like it would have been impossible for him to win a championship in Cleveland especially given they still could have made moves to get better. I could see if the Cavs were a team that struggled to make the playoffs every year, but they weren't. They made it to the ECF every year, so they were always a threat to make the Finals. And that's with Lebron James, according to that stat, not even being as good then as he is now. -
Report: Pelicans have asked Pistons about Greg Monroe sign-and-trade
New Pistons president/coach Stan Gundy called Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe “an ideal pairing.”
Few are as bullish as me on Drummond and Monroe playing together – as long as Josh Smith isn’t also on the court mucking everything up – but even I think that’s a bit much. Neither Drummond nor Monroe has much shooting range, and both need major work defensively before it’s even possible to determine how well they’d complement each other on that end.
Mostly, the pairing works because Drummond (20) and Monroe (24) are similar ages and talented. They can grow together, and as much as Drummond is central to the Pistons’ future, it would be foolish to throw away Monroe just because he’s not the absolute best on-court fit next to Drummond.
But if the Pistons could get value for Monroe, who will be a restricted free agent this summer, that would change the discussion.
Nakia Hogan of The Times-Picayune:
While the Pelicans, with about $7 million in salary cap room, don’t appear to have enough cap space to sign Monroe, a source said the team has made some initial inquiries to the Pistons about the possibility of working out a sign-and-trade deal.
Monroe, a New Orleans native, would likely hold interest in playing for his hometown Pelicans. But no matter where he plays, he’ll be seeking a max contract.
To make a sign-and-trade work financially, New Orleans has four players it could send to Detroit: Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday or Ryan Anderson.
I doubt the Pelicans would trade Holiday or Evans after acquiring them just last offseason, and Evans probably wouldn’t pique the Pistons’ interest anyway. They don’t need another player without 3-point range, especially a guard.
The Pelicans would love to unload Gordon, and if they want to discuss a deal based around Gordon for Smith – two overpaid players who still hold promise due to their talent, even if it hasn’t shown lately – that could work. But for Monroe? That should be a non-starter in Detroit.
That leaves Anderson.
Anderson, 26, is older than Monroe, meaning his prime will overlap less with Drummond’s – a significant concern. But Anderson is still reasonably young and, as a stretch four, a perfect on-court match for Drummond. Anderson had his best years in Orlando under Van Gundy and has reached levels Monroe never has. The biggest concern is how Anderson recovers from a neck injury that kept him out most of this season.
The Pelicans might not trade Anderson for Monroe, and they probably shouldn’t – unless Anderson isn’t healthy, and then Detroit shouldn’t. Monroe would be a bigger player to pair with Anthony Davis, but the price is too high.
Still, if there were one sign-and-trade possibility that works for both teams, it starts with Anderson for Monroe.

Potential Cavs Line up 2014 2015
Pg Kyrie Irving
SG Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker
SF Lebron James
PF Kevin Love
C Pau Gasol
This can happen if bron comes back the cavs have enough money for
Love bron and Kyrie and if they take friendly contracts
and sign Gasol But that's just wishful thinking
From a cavs fan -

You gave to much respect to Timmy on Defense. Lebron is more Magic then Mike. He consistently don't have that killer instinct. To unselfish but he still the best player in the world just not fearless. Kobe and Mike hated to lose. To Lebron it's just Basketball.
bosh didnt attack consistently all the time when he was on Toronto -
Carmel to dallas sounds ok I guess
