Re: The LeBron James Thread

I just want to say, this is the most ridiculous **** I've ever been entertained over. This is great.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

And guys... When I say it's not a good situation for Wiggins. I'm talking about more of his background as a player. He needs to be hungry to fully develop. Losing makes players hungry. Especially the good ones. Seeing Wiggins with this on/off switch through HS and College. It bothers me.

I don't know... Wiggins has more than enough time to make me eat my words lol.

Wiggins will be fine... if his college career was any indication of what his future will be like, he's going to be really comfortable letting LeBron take the front seat, and end up with 7 points... that man is not going to have to work as hard

Until it's playoff time and then we're back to the same, old argument of "Lebron doesn't have a good supporting cast", lol.

Eh, let's not simplify it that much though lol. Level-headed folks have always said his cast wasn't trash but also wasn't exceptional. Somewhere in the middle is where the debate always goes.. in circles usually.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

I've never understood the "taking plays off"/"lacking killer instinct" criticism about Wiggins. I think that is overblown.

Guy from ESPN saw one practice and somehow it got legs.

I only see the addition of LeBron stunting his growth in the sense that he's not going to be asked to be the man right away, as he would if LeBron doesn't come. Hopefully LeBron gets with him in the gym immediately should they be teammates.

I would prefer to see Wiggins grow on his own team, as his own player.

And in that circle is the same argument that I mentioned. It's a pattern every year with him outside of 2012/13.

I don't think anybody claimed he didn't have a good enough team to win this year, or said anything about those guys being garbage.

A few guys were called out for playing much lower than what their standards are held as. But why shouldn't they have been? Had LeBron played "badly" it would have been called out and made a story. So no reason those other guys can't have the same treatment.

Re: The LeBron James Thread

Honestly I don't think Wiggins is ready to be a go-to option offensively, not right off the bat. I think being LeBron's side kick would have been a lot better than playing second fiddle to Kyrie. Much better to pick up good habits rather than bad.

I also think putting less pressure on him to score a ton of points immediately will help he grow better. Hopefully he pans out to be the defender he's made out to be, we could have a great duo between he and LeBron in a couple years.

The Miami Heat-LeBron James meeting in Las Vegas has ended, a league source tells Yahoo Sports.

Decision should be coming soon I would think.
