Just pointing out that Lebron continues to put it out there that he’d like to play with Curry and the Warriors. You can pretend all you want that it’s not deliberate, but anybody that knows how he operates understands it’s not a coincidence. Laughing at Lebron for proving that he always has been and always will be a bitch is not “outrage”. |

I remember when Lebron either hated Steph or was jealous of him back in 2015-2017. How times change

My limited understanding of the NBA salary cap makes this a near impossibility anyway. He'd have to be traded to them (gutting their roster of young talent) or sign for the vet minimum. I guess there is a tax payers mid level exception but I don't know enough about that.
Warriors wouldn't trade for an old lebron and lebron isn't signing anywhere for the minimum. Even if he wasn't even an average player anymore his value to the franchise is worth more than a few mil a year. |

I didn't care when he left a Cleveland organization that failed to give him a better #2 than Mo Williams for 8 years, yes. This seems like covered ground to me.

And he tried to build multiple super teams, not just with the Heat. He’s tried to overly stack the deck in his favor ever since. |

Seems like a pretty big distinction between jumping ship to a 73 win team that beat you in the conference finals and LeBron leaving an organization that failed to build anything around him for a decade for another, but maybe that's just hypocrisy.

Why do you hold a player like KD, who’s clearly not on the same level, to the same standard as Lebron? Did Lebron not just try to recruit Kawhi to LA after already getting AD? Did he not leave Miami to return to Cleveland after they got old and Cleveland had the assets to build another super team? Why would any of his competitors not try to beat him at his own game? |

A decade? Stop it. James, Wade, and Bosh had made the decision to get together and form a super team all the way back in 2006. Lebron was drafted in 2003.

I'd expect the #2 player not to join the #3 player on the league's first ever 73 win team that he just lost a 3-1 series lead to, yeah. But I guess that's just the fear the GOAT generated at the time.

“Building super teams is completely fine, until you do it better and more effectively than Lebron”

You think LeBron is leaving Cleveland at the time he did if he's coming off multiple championships with a good core (instead of Mo Williams, Delonte West and Zydrunas Ilgauskas)? Seems unlikely.

No , but it is pretty telling he had to have already won multiple championships to not leave and make a super team.
