Trade Bron before its too late brehs

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

EYE am not attempting to embroil myself in this debate but I believe they were talking about the state in which LeBron leaves your franchise upon exit due to all the roster moves to fit Bron Ball. However, Miami survived and Cleveland is having a miraculous emergence this season, so it takes a strong FO and a great deal of luck IMO.

I don't get this and why its been rehashed for years. So Bron, the player, whose objective is to win and win now as much as possible, also has a responsibility to make sure that an organization is set up for the future whenever he leaves?

What's the front office's job? Ride the wave then conveniently point fingers at Klutch/Bron when they start sucking as expected when your best player leaves? They knew what they were signing up for. Everyone does when they get a big player in free agency.

Had this highlight on the dvr for so long and just kept replaying it at full speed and then slow mo and then full speed and then slow mo. Just ferocious. How far he cocked it back while going up and then the force, over a bigger guy. Just nasty. That was in the tourney too, iirc.

Dude had NO business jumping with him. Didn't even reach rim level.

as far as Ja Morant not having a sig shoe line, he wears one of the more expensive non-signature shoe.

Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant Is Featured In Nike Promotional Ad For Upcoming Basketball Shoe

Nike didn't take long to capitalize on the phenom that is Memphis Grizzlies' rookie guard Ja Morant as Morant would debut the new Nike Adapt 2.0 shoe on MLK Day

This is from a couple years ago

Dude wears Kobes, Kyries, and KDs now

Chiney . She just need to hush sometimes tho

Has anyone tried the Adapt 2.0's? Interested if the self lacing/tightening is actually functional or just a gimmick. Still wouldn't buy a pair at retail.

I think the issue/problem/concern here is the fact that this. has never been done before. Usually the teams have to retool around the player and extend the success. See Tim Duncan & Steve Curry.

Lebby's been a mercenary. The leaving part isn't something we've been conditioned to as fans of the game.

He left Miami with Wade and Bosh. There wasn’t anything to leave in Cleveland the first time around. The second Myrie left before he did. He didn’t make the Cavs cash out Kevin love.

What franchise is equipped to succeed if their best player left? The bucks would barely be a play in team. The Mavs would be a lottery team if Luka left. Same with the nuggets

Right

By that definition every megastar is a franchise killer.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Stories like him & Wade just blow my mind **** can change so quick. Going from your first dunk in 11th grade to being a complete freak

The late bloomer might be my favorite archetype in all of sports. They're endless too. Right now...there are kids that are ranked like 300 or not ranked at all in these 22', 23' classes...don't have flashy IG accounts w/ hundreds of thousands of followers...no mixtapes...might not have even hit their growth spurt yet and they're going to end up being pros all from sheer determination and imagination.

 

[toneboi76]

Ben Simmons won’t even make the trip to Philly watch how some ever and still defend him I will never know

 

[WASHED KING]

I've had it up to here with the anti Bron agenda in this thread. I'm about to get real disrespectful.

 

[smedroc]

Franchise killer you know.....

Bumbaclaat.

 

[amitt5504]

Has to be in the full funeral fit or it’s a waste of time

 

[addict4sneakers]

Avy check. Proud of the OG man

“After you foul me, what else you got?”

That’s coming from a 6-1 dude

He knows damn well Yanni would have Laimbeer and Salley in the gulag for 40 minutes

Dude is just as big and strong as any of those 80's/90's goons too so they wouldn't just be able to bully him all willy nilly the way they imagine in their heads

 

[James_O]

AI is MY GOAT too, Yannis.

Giannis?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Giannis?

SOON

 

[James_O]

That’s just you lol

I’d rather watch Aja Wilson over Ben Simmons any day

That's like comparing Ja Morant to Russel Westbrick

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

All them old heads saying they could just “hard foul” Giannis would be in for a rude awakening if they ran into him coming at full speed

 

[addict4sneakers]

It’s like they don’t understand fouling isn’t a good thing.

 

[Based Jesus]

"One foul and he'd learn"

If that was true why'd yall need to keep fouling people then?

 

[elpablo21]

This is Scottie Pippen's fault
