    BTW, Kobe asked to be traded several times. KOBE dont care about shit but Kobe. Kobe would take millions over a ring any day of the week.

    James is a better player and better team mate than bryant. There is zero evidence to the contrary

    Some stuff leaking out right now...

    We all will know where Melo is going to TODAY.

    I'm hearing it's either Knicks or LA with him leaning towards LA.

    50% Lakers
    25% Knicks
    15% Bulls
    10% Rockets


    LA is busting their asses trying to get rid of Nash's contract so they possibly pair Bron and Melo

    Houston is seeing all this and is waiting in the weeds looking to scoop up Bosh. Love and Rondo are things they will explore later, if Bosh is a no go.

    He is totally right here, though. The times when athletes of a team were home-turf boys competing against the visitors from another town are long gone, yet for some reason many still view sports as if that were the case. It has been a market of buying and selling, collecting the best pieces of a puzzle for long.

    Thus, to 'have integrity', as in to stay in a team that is not successful to win a championship, means that you need five good players with 'no integrity' ready to join your crap team. That, or you have to move yourself. That happened with Jordan, too. He took the Bulls to the championships, but not before he got backup from guys who joined the team later. Bulls of '84 was crap too

    Yeah, there's no such thing as loyalty from the owners anymore, except some cases. Bron should move on. The Big Three was fun for him while it lasted and while it failed to become a dynasty, at least he got two rings out of it. Wade is worthless.

    This Wade is worthless crap really is overkill. I know he's had his injury problems, but dude shot nearly 55% from the field during the regular season, which is almost unheard of from either of the guard positions while averaging close to 20 ppg, at the same time getting his fair share of steals, assists & rebounds.

    Shot 50% during the playoffs, which Lebron has shot below numerous times in the playoffs (not this year, I know).

    He's obviously not what he used to be, but he's also not some bum off the street who should feel lucky to get a league minimum contract. I know the Heat wouldn't mind if they could somehow pick up somebody else for the same price, who could put up the same numbers over 82 games instead of 50 games, and who won't wear down during the playoffs. Don't think that guy is out there though.

    The FG% is a misleading stat. Wade is known to be a stat whore and he only takes easy and high % baskets to protect his "efficiency" but the fact of the matter is that he has declined drastically since 2011. Also his attitude has been nonchalant, being content when having a good game even if it's on a loss. Have you seen this?

    Yeah and if he leaves Miami and doesn't win a ring with whatever team he goes to, poor Lebron will once again "not have any help" :boohoo: Same old song and dance, wash, rinse, repeat. It gets old.


    And if the Cavs get good next season will that justify Lebron going back there after he "took his talents to south beach."?


    Its BS. He may not be a mental midget. But tucks his tail and hides whenever times get tough. He's doing the same thing this summer that he did in Cleveland in 2010 and your gonna sit there and defend it.

    lol what the hell are you talking about man. He is exercising his options and see what's best for him. This is his job man. He isnt in the NBA to gain your approval. He is in the NBA to win. Simply put, you are a Jordan fan that refuses to grow up. Nobody said Lebron is going anywhere. No way he goes back to Cleveland. Lebron simply wants consistent help on the floor. And if you dont think Lebron was out there holding that Miami team together these past 4 years and if you dont think a guy who took a team to the finals one year and when he left, the team was basically in last place deserves credit, than sorry.

    Lebron James and Michael Jordan are two totally different people in two totally different scenarios.

    I mean listen to yourself. How come guys cant be loyal and not be cunts like Jordan or Kobe. Ok, let's break it down:

    Jordan doesnt win 6 rings unless:

    A "no loyalty/integrity having CUNT" named Ron Harper doesn't sign to the bulls after leaving the Clippers in 1994.
    A "no loyalty/integrity having CUNT" named Steve Kerr doesn't sign to the bulls after leaving the Magic in 1993.
    A "no loyalty/integrity having CUNT" named Dennis Rodman doesn't sign to the bulls after leaving the spurs in 1995.

    Now i can list other players like Scottie Pippen, BJ armstrong, Horace Grant, etc. that LEFT Chicago after they won rings. So by your conclussion, they too would be considered "no loyalty/integrity having CUNTs"

    Se everything is not as black and white as you want it to be. People who you think are just so amazing and cant compare to Jordan or Kobe, blah blah blah. They are did shit that needed to be done in order to win.

    The new percentages as to where Melo is going has got a little closer between LA and Knicks and Chi and Hou aren't really in consideration. This information is from one of the insiders I know, he works for a sports agency, he has been right in the past, but his info can be limited.

    LA 40%
    NY 40%
    Chi 15%
    Hou 5%

    Cleveland does have a plan for LeBron...

    Sign him, trade Wiggins and a future first for KLove. That's what they are attempting to do. If that falls through, they will go back to being the Cavs and offer Hayward a Max contract.

    It's sounding like he's after the $$. NY and LA can offer full MAX contracts, Chi and Hou cannot. He has flat out said Dallas is out, of course we all knew Dallas as an option was B.S. from jumpstreet.

    And then there's his wife, I hear she only wants NY or LA. Melo needs to grow some nuts, Chi and Hou give him a better chance to win. Lebron isn't going to LA for 15 mill.

    Dude Steve Kerr and Ron Harper were not star players... And all those other players that you keep pointing out that they left were old and past their primes by the time they did leave their teams. What part of that do you not get??..

    its one one thing to leave Cleveland because you "need help." Now in Miami he has 2 other stars to work with whom are past their best but still can contribut enough for their team to be better than 98% of the league. And yet, poor Lebron once again has "no help" so now his free agent options are being explored...

    Had the Heat three peated, I guarantee this whole "I'm gonna think about it" BS doesn't even come up. Lebron needs to just the fuck up, finish his contract in Miami, and try to win again. I myself don't think he can go back to Cleveland but if he does, he would rightfully be seen as an opportunist scumbag who would now want back after he left them for dead the way he did.

    Im not saying they are not star players. I am saying that Your hero, Michael Jordan would not have won without people you consider Unloyal Cunts. Jordan didnt have to leave, because people were coming to him.

    LeBron has gone dark on social media which means REED can't see the light of day since he's tucked firmly between Lebron's nutsack.

    Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts to the Heat.

    They need some role players so this might work out well for them.

    Mcroberts intentionally tried to injure James. Nice pickup. If they can get Anthony and let bosh walk they're in business
