Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

lebron single handly made cleveland a title contender

look at the roster he took to the finals


Shannon Brown / was rocking the bench that year...
Daniel Gibson
Drew Gooden
Larry Hughes
Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Damon Jones /out of the league
Dwayne Jones
Donyell Marshall
Ira Newble
Sasha Pavlovic
Scot Pollard / out of the league
Eric Snow / out of the league
Anderson Varejao
David Wesley / out of the league

You could say retired instead of out of the league like he was a scrub the caliber of Jones there. Sad thing is, that was a better cast then what he had this year. Or at least on par since they didn't do anything from the ECF on that year.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

you forgot............

" oh man lebron dissed the knicks to hang with jay-z he's going to newark!!?!?!"

"oh snap!!!!!!!!! Lebron was doing cannonballs in a swamp. he's going to the nets!"

Could've sworn I said myself included?

And I didn't forget anything because nobody(myself included)would think he would go to NJ anyway. Nice try though.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Back on topic this from Windhorst:

He really likes Rose & Noah. But there's lack if shooters on roster. Also it doesn't sound like he's exactly being welcomed by Rose.

Derrick Rose isn't welcoming LeBron I guess that means? Feels like he's having his alpha dog status threatened? What do you guys think?

[ehh]

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

1. But yet leave it to ya'll, he's the next big thing in the League and the 2nd coming of Larry Bird.

Nah see no one has ever said anything even close to that. Find one instances of it, Pack. It's y'all blowing things out of proportion yet again. When everyone says the Knicks "have nothing" in place it's just BS. That's all we're saying. "He's just a shooter". And Brook Lopez is just a rebounder. I don't think Gallo will ever be a Top 10 player in the league, but he's gonna be a 20 ppg scorer, one of the best shooters in the league and great piece to our team over the next decade. To say he's "nothing" like every member of the media and most OS cats have is just stupid. That's all I'm getting at.

It's also great that the Nets, a team that lost 70 games last year, is some how a phenomenal place long-term because of their youth - but the Knicks players are just scrubs. I guess we didn't lose quite enough last year to be considered good enough for LBJ. Outside of Lopez what exactly do y'all have that's so amazing? Favors? Terrance Williams? Courtney Lee? Devin Harris is the huge key?

And it wasn't just the run of the mill "he's a good player" comments from Melo & others.

D. Rose doesn't seem like a player that would have issues with that. He's also stated in public that he would welcome LBJ with open arms. I think the bottom line with Rose is he just wants to win, no matter what. I think the report of Rose might be media BS but there is no way to really know for sure.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

It means that tomorrow there will be a random tweet from Chris Bull**** saying that Rose absolutely will not be bothered by having Lebron there and then the Bulls would be back to Number 1 in the latest LCS(Lebron Championship Series) Ranking.

And then when Wednesday rolls around, the Nets will be number one, and then on Thursday it'll be the Knicks, Friday the Cavs and then who ever is No. 1 in the LCS Ranking on Saturday, then Lebron is going to sign with that team.

I have sources too in case anybody wants to dispute what I said just in case.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Except no one has said anything like that, all people have taken issue with is people saying that all he does is chuck 3's.

Except for D'Antoni.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Man, why is Gallo getting so much hate here...

I swear, people always harp on the same players for no reason on this board.

Deng, Gallo, Bargnani etc.

I personally think its nonsense. Anyway, I doubt the Bulls are going to stop going after James just because of Rose.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Rose seems like one of the most chill dudes in the league, I can't see him acting that way.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

Except for D'Antoni.

So the reason people can't give Gallo any credit is one comment his coach made 9 months ago, that he backed away from?

Not to mention that coaches normally have a reason for commenting on a player, whether motivation, or to build confidence. It's not the same thing as fans overrating their players.

I'm not supporting either argument, just stating what was said.

As Vince stated though, some players on these boards just get all the hate.

Yep, that's why I find the comments to be BS. I remember during the Paxson/Vinny incident he made all the correct comments.

He also wants to stay far away from any trouble. That is why he mentioned he stays away from FB and Twitter.

The only spoken one on the team is Noah and he wouldn't say anything of this sort either because just like Rose, he wants to win no matter what.

1. But again, people have been making it sound as if he would be THE difference maker between teams when a FA is trying to figure out where to go. The same with Eddy Curry's Contract, the same with Wilson Chandler, and the same with Toney Douglass.

2. Out of the Nets and Knicks(since that's really where that argument stems from)people say that because it IS true. Remember, ya'll basically GUTTED your team sans 2 people just to bring in 1-2 more people. There was NO pressure on us to have to get a BIG NAME because we actually had a team that we didn't have to gut to get to where we are this offseason and that's not even debateable when it comes to these 2 teams.

Before ya'll signed Amar'e, there wasn't ONE person on that Knicks team that you could honestly say you would take over Brook or could do a better job than him and the same goes for Devin and if you wanted to be technical you could say the same for Courtney Lee.. So when people were saying long-term, it was the fact that we actually HAVE people on our team that have PROVEN they can succeed(and be consistent)in this league, while ya'll didn't AT THAT POINT up until signing Amar'e?

So if you don't understand why people were saying that about the two teams, then that's just supreme homerism blinding you my friend. And before any other Knicks fan mentions the losing 70 games, just remember that out of the 12 wins, one of them came against you and it wasn't pretty so what would that say about your team knowing that it lost to one of the worst in NBA History?
