And you continue to lie needlessly and not answer. They did not discuss a LeBron trade from LeBron's perspective.

Maybe they could add better players if LeBron didn't force them to sign Thompson for $16M, JR Smith for 14M and Shumpert for 10M.

Funny how you like ignoring these things.

It's not that he's ignoring them. Since there isn't 100% proof he's going to pretend it isn't true. Even though it clear as day.

once again these are the exact same words you said. You made the post at 4:41 literally minutes after it was said. You were watching the show and knew exactly what I meant.

Call me a liar and ill dvr it when it comes on again and post it up for you.

He forced them, did he? A convenient narrative. Unfortunately, it's pretty obvious now with Griffin's departure that LeBron's influence there was overstated.

Of course. That's because they were discussing trading LeBron. They did not, however, discuss whether a LeBron trade would be favourable for LeBron or what the "best case scenario" for LeBron was (which my post did, I don't give a shit about the Cavs or their future). Their "trade LeBron" discussion was from a Cavs/asset management perspective. You have not refuted this.

Do it. I'd have done it myself if I could have.

I suppose LeBron pushed Griffin out, then. Is that what I'm supposed to believe too?

if the Cavs were smart they would attach some salary dump along with them

Make a team take on TT, JR, Korver, etc

They should probably even trade Love too.

If they could get back guys like Bledsoe, Jabari Parker, plus assets and sign Rose in FA they would still make the Finals in the East. Celtics, Raptors and Wizards are still garbage and made no upgrades good enough to get passed Lebron

How are they getting Parker?

[KC_Connection]

Just gonna leave this here ... Cavs with Kyrie Irving ON, LeBron James OFF last season: -120 in 635 minutes.

Kyrie leading his own team would be interesting.

The Bucks are the mix for Kyrie

Kyries just trying to beat Lebron to the punch. He knows Lebron is as good as gone

Exactly.

So for all of LeBrons talk about how he loves playing with Kyrie, Kyrie knows it is BS otherwise LeBron would not leave the Cavs...
