poor guy, he got duped by the cleveland front office into thinking they had lebron in the bag.
How burried in a bottle do you think Byron Scott is right about now?

There is no "i" in "team".
The front office and the owner look pretty stupid right about now.
James is the most dominant player in the game right now while at the same time he clearly has a much better chance of winning a ring by going to atleast 2-3 other teams. They fvcked up.
I feel the same way. I lost some respect for him. You couldn't get it done being the main piece. So now you go join two other guys for the ride. Maybe he is just not as good as many of us thought.
your argument is moot, this orignal argument was that kobe could do it all by himself. as well, gasol did carry this team during a really rough offensive stretch. had he not, the team would not have made the playoffs.
The original argument was that it is Kobe's team, not anyone else's. If Gasol left, Kobe could still keep the lakers aloat. If Kobe left, the lakers would crash. This lakers team will always be known as Kobe's team.
With the heat, you can't call it James' team. Thus it is a stupid decision by James to sign with Wade. He could have chosen a team with a bunch of almost or lower tier all-stars and led them to a championship. That team would be James' team.
Hitler is informed about LeBron and Miami

It was Wade's team. It's now Wade's and LeBron's team.
thank you, someone finally understood what i was saying.
the point is, kobe didn't want to play second fiddle and proved he could do it without playing second fiddle. lebron has shown, he clearly doesn't have that kind of confidence.
no, it's still wade's team. wade won it without lebron and lebron has never won it without wade. it will always be wades team in miami.
I concede that point, but the overall theme is that no one star can really do it by themselves.
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER KING WINS ONE."
ok Dan. We believe you. Really we do. Now put down the bottle...
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER KING WINS ONE"
And the counter argument to that was that Miami was not the only option he had. Certainly it's the one with the best success rate but there were other suitors who could provide for him where he wouldn't have to take a backseat to any titles they win.
Anyway, he's made his choice, now he has to live with it. I'm not going to criticize him for his choice, he wants what he wants and my wishes shouldn't be anymore important than his since it's his life and his future but I'm not going to support him or have any respect for his decision. I'm not losing sleep over it either.
Kobe already had more players around him, and many, many more NBA'ers wanted to come to the warm weather, large media market, enormous bouncing silicone boobies capital of the WORLD than ever wanted to go to Cleveland.
With the salary cap and other restraints (no sweetheart Gasol trade for YOU, Cleveland!), I don't think there was ANY move that Cleveland could have made that they didn't damn well make.
Not to rag on you, jj, but I HATE superficial fanboi bitching. :twisted:
