He wasn't all about "his brand" when he was 18

He might not have been as a kid but didn't he always have people around him advising him and what not?

There's way more appeal to a superstar playing in his hometown than a superstar playing in Memphis.

absolutely, 100%. Im not arguing that he would be as big if he went to Memphis instead

But it's not like we're talking about him joining the talent of the 2014 Sixers. Pau was like 22 years old and already putting up 19 PPG, and he himself had the spanish market. LeBron's brand would have been fine

RIP to the franchise that gives it to him

dubs have steph klay bogut locked up
Even iggy

Theyll match. Rip?

 

[Mexi]

I could see the blazers going for dray while letting batum go

But then again maybe not because lma and wes are free agents

Nvm

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Dray will end up getting a contract from like the Timberwolves or someone foolish. Hard to say if the Warriors match.
 
Probably depends a lot on this year's outcome.

He did but obviously it's a lot bigger now

more like warriors don't come out to play

It's a moot point anyways. That lottery along with every other one was rigged so there's no point in playing "what ifs"

Draymond Green is one of my favorite NBA players but why would anyone max him? All this talk has to be smoke and no fire. You can't max a guy who might not even give you 12 every night. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He's an RFA. He's getting maxed.

 

[elusive]

Draymond is getting a max, like I said a few weeks ago, and Draymond deserves a max in today's market. There's plenty of players with max contracts who aren't the number one options on the team. Quit associating max contracts with go-to scorers.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I can't even begin to understand the Bulls.

Losing to the fucking Heat at home by double figures, then going to Oracle and beating the dubs without Butler.

In the past few weeks, they've beaten three contenders in the west, and lost to the Heat, Jazz and Magic at home.

I hope they fall to 5th or worse. HCA will be a death sentence.

 

[elcheato]

Cavs suck
Bron fucked up

 

[elcheato]

$10 parlay on Cavs (-5 1/2) v. Blazers, Raptors (-7) v. Kings, Pelicans (-6 1/2) v. Nuggets.
 
$50 on Cavs (-5 1/2) v. Blazers in a single bet
 

 

[BwareDWare94]

Is that Gumby pitching a tent?

 

[elcheato]

JR Smith credits his stellar play to Cleveland not having anywhere to party. This is something I would believe from an athletes mouth in terms of improvement. 
 
But, JR can party at my crib, bruh. 

 

[elcheato]

And LeBron is out. There goes $60

 

[bosoxlover12]

Omg, the Rising Stars game jerseys are beautiful

 

[Pugz]

yea, of we only seen them.
