Still wonder what happened that Philly n his folks kept his injury/shooting issues completely under wraps…That’s super rare in these days of leaks n “sources”, would be an interesting lil doc for hoop fans once he retires

Bron made some moves and won but also made that Westbrook move which was a total disaster, then tried to act like he was hands off on the whole thing which wasn’t a good look 
…You can say both things bout GM Bron

They took the early opt out on their extension, unlike Melo who opted for the longest contract & largest guarantee possible.
Melo did what most superstars up to that point had done. There was several years of planning that went into what Bron & them decided to do.
The foresight required there & the precedent it set rises above a replacement level decision

yah i think are dramatically overstating the prescience of that. it wasn't quantum physics.
In fact in my memory I think most people thought Melo was dumb for that when he signed it.
also those aren't GM decisions, those are player decisions.
The GM decision would be do you want Lebron, Wade and Bosh/Melo on your team?
a replacement level GM says yes.

Some of the moves made in Cleveland during both of LeBron’s stints were questionable, but I’m not sure how much responsibility is on Bron for those and how much of a difference they ultimately made to the team’s championship chances anyway.

i don't understand the level of sensitivity where you regard every disagreement as "trolling".
"my favorite colour is blue."
"No I like red. "
" LMFAO STOP TROLLING"
get a grip.

why did lebron want zydrunas ilgauskus?

Jrue is overrated but he should be starting.
- 18,176
- 21,907
He’s gonna be in their top 5 (probably 3 or at worst 4) in minutes so it’s whatever I guess

I think the really good Lebron GM moves that usually get attributed to him.
JR Smith acquisition in Cleaveland
and the Klutch connection getting KCP
getting Ty Lue as Head coach
imo those are the strongest above replacement level moves.

They (bontemps) were talking about limiting his minutes since he’s older. Him, horford and porzingisHe’s gonna be in their top 5 (probably 3 or at worst 4) in minutes so it’s whatever I guess

Rondo was terrible for 85% of his time with the Lakers, but I don't think they win without him in 2020. Needed his playmaking to ease Bron's workload.

Ill give him that one also. given rondos reputation, I think it was a move other GM's might not have made.
but im sorry I can't put things like "give up everything for AD" as a + replacement level move.
In fact id argue, they gave up way more than was necessary
and even replacement level GM would have gotten AD and given up less assets.
- 92,409
- 128,289
As a Laker fan, I would argue the team didn't give up enough for AD.
But I guess you have to factor in his injuries to the equation.Otherwise, all the Pelicans have to show for it is Ingram putting up stats, overpaying McCollum (Josh Hart), Dyson Daniels and one more pick
- 18,176
- 21,907
Interesting. I wonder what that looks like in actuality.
Not much left on that bench after they significantly upgraded their top 5.
Pritchard is long overdue for an expanded role, those other guys I’d only give a handful of mins

His main angle was that management and coaching made it a point (pun intended) to give Derrick white the keys to the offense
I mean either way I’m assuming jrue is going finish games so it’s moot
Pritchard should saddle minutes though honestly to save jrue some wear and tear

Mazulla loves the two big lineup.
Really doesn’t matter anyway, closers will prob different every other game.

yah but that's like hindsight
at the time they gave up basically everything realistically tradeable for a dude with 1 year left on his deal I think
who said he only wanted to go to LA?
yah I think most GMs could do better.

most GMS arent GMS for the lakers
lakers tax is real out here
that is until until the robbery pelinka era

Dont think a replacement level gm would have the foresight to make this move. LeBron knew he was robbing New Orleans when most gms would think it’s too much.
That’s how you end up like miami missing out on Dame because you thought dame only wanted to go to Miami,
