In this scenario with Draymond still around would be terrible for the Warriors if they got Ben
…The already trying to convince Dray to be more of a scoring threat

Can't be serious...
That 2011 finals performance is literally the reason these 'hot take' shows took off the way they did and became the standard for these sports networks
. Careers were legit made off of the reaction to that performance, the bloodlust was endlessThe last 12 or so hours have been bad but dude got it nonstop for months all the way until he actually held up the trophy after the best season of his career.
The immediate meltdown over Ben might be intense right now but I doubt it carries on for nearly as long and approaches the same level of venom/intensity that 2011 did

Are we talking about the same LeBron James here? LeBron is the most critiqued athlete in American sports.
Literally on Undisputed right now he's being slandered for following people on social media
He's being slandered on national TV and his team was eliminated a month ago.
I remember Jason Whitlock psychoanalyzing LeBron James and saying that his dysfunction is because he didn't have a father figure growing up
Bill Simmons did the same thing and even had comments about LeBron's mom. These aren't fringe media outlets. These are some of the biggest writers in the sports world.
Remember all the new stories about Delonte West sleeping with LeBron's mom? That was covered by credible, major media outlets. LeBron doesn't get any protection from the sports media. He was smart enough to create his own media brand to spin narratives but the NBA doesn't protect him, LeBron protects himself as best he can.

Crazy how Dray seems like a sniper compared to Ben.
Shaq really said he’d knock Ben out if he was in his lockerroom. Someone check on Ben if he good man, he getting all types of heat his way.

CJ aint the answer for Philly, but sadly he really might be their best choice.

You must be trolling at this point.
The 2011 finals has literally been brought up every single week for a decade. For better or for worse, it's one of the defining moments of LeBron's career and the first thing people bring up when they want to hate on LeBron.
Ben Simmons has had a rough 12 hours, LeBron gets criticized for the 2011 NBA finals every day for years.

**** like that is where it goes too far, like if it is kept just on performance alone or expectations cool, but once it starts evolving into upbringings and **** on a personal nature then it’s gone too far and too stupid.

Of course I don't.
I view his as the pro wrestling version of an analyst. He knows his gimmick and does it well.

At least Dray takes shots and tries to be aggressive. He looks to score when he can. Simmons is straight up avoiding it like the plague.

Simmons for CJ? Thats an L for Portland. Simmons a Rob Covington who cant shoot.
Might help their 29th ranked defense tho

Cmon now, were talking about Fedora Whitlock, the armpit of analysts.

Exactly. People forget things as time moves along but you are right, people STILL disrespect LeBron for it now.
At the time EVERYONE was talking about it.
The amount of backlash Ben Simmons is getting now doesn't compare.
Recency Bias for sure.

The defense tho, especially with Klay back would be stellar. All Ben would need to do is split time bringing the ball up with Dray and find open shooters. That’s legit all he would have to do on that end. That’s it. But GS needs a bench, a legit bench because Klay and Steph can’t play all 48In this scenario with Draymond still around would be terrible for the Warriors if they got Ben

If I mentioned the NBA recently taking a larger stance on understanding the nuance of mental health WHY are we referencing the 2011 NBA finals?

Yea. Was just going off the talks of potential trades for Simmons, but I don't think Dame would allow Portland to do that trade anyway lol

Yea Simmons for CJ just sounds like a move just to make a move ppl been calling for the Blazers to do for years
