Well at some point pride matters and it's my opinion that 90% of men in this world wouldn't go play for Dan Gilbert again if they were Lebron, regardless of the situation.
Why does anyone think Lebron would realistically return to Cleveland? I mean, would if you were him when the owner of the team has publicly called you a coward and a turncoat?
It is my estimation that Brad Ausmus didn't give a single shit about winning the baseball game today. Leading off Austin Jackson and batting Torii Hunter second? Alrighty. The guy batting third is one of the best hitters of all time, who needs people on base in front of him?
Meanwhile...
You play the Astros. You're in a 1 run game in late innings. You face two Astros relievers whom you've outcast from your own team as not being good enough to be part of your shitty, shitty bullpen. Can't produce offensively against either of them.
Yeah, when the Tigers couldn't hit Darin...
I think his "floor" is high. Randle is said to be mostly illiterate and probably got through a semester a UK with the aid of a gratuitous tutor. He didn't exactly take the Shane Battier path to the NBA. He's here by crushing people and being dumb. If he becomes a drug addict tomorrow, he can...
To be honest, and I hate to rain on parades, Elfrid Payton is said to do a lot of things well, but outside shooting isn't one of them. Oladipo is pretty good player, but he's not a shooter. Assuming your committed to him as your 2, you need some guys who can drain elsewhere because you know...
Why are you people comparing players who are nothing like each other?
If you think Sullinger and Randle are similar players, you need to go hop on Youtube.
I don't see a comparison to Lee or Boozer. Both at their offensive best were more finesse, and I'm not saying they were finesse players, but they had more finesse to their games and less violence. Randle is just straight violence. He's getting the ball within 10 and he's breaking your nose...
I've been mostly deliberately over the top with my praise of Randle over the past week, but he seriously is my favorite rookie in this draft and I think he is a for sure NBA star. He might not be Karl Malone, but I honestly think he's 18 and 10 from day 1.
