Hersh Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It's silly to speculate considering he has another season to go in Cleveland. I would not rule out Cleveland attempting to trade Thompson or a couple other guys to shake up their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 LA makes sense, especially with the house there. He doesn't come across like the "I'm going to lose my mind if we don't win" type, so either franchise should fit that boat should it dock.

Yeah, and it was just as annoying  Everyone is always in a hurry to talk about stuff years from now.

He'll be 34, I hope whatever LA team signs him gives him as long a contract as possible so we can relive the old Kobe side show again. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I don't see him going out west until after the Warriors current core is broken up. That might not be for another 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) 12 hours ago, Hersh said: Interesting conversation and to me it's one reason why Lebron doesn't compare to Jordan. Jordan would do whatever it took to win as far as system, plays to run, and where to operate on the floor. Lebron has never really embraced that. This guy should have be one of the all time post players and he just didn't want to be that. As BRS is saying, Lebron wants iso ball. (facing the basket from the three point line) Speaking of running a bad system, I'll never understand why Cleveland traded for Kevin Love only to make him a 3-pt shooter. If Cleveland went inside more in game 3, they win going away.  Jordan was always more worried about scoring even before he won his first championship vs. the Lakers.  During that series, when Pippen guarded Magic he picked him up full court.  Did Jordan?  No because he was more worried about saving his energy to play offense.  You know who really would do anything to win a championship.  Bill Russell.  He'd rebound, play defense, set picks whatever.  He'd even take it easy so he wouldn't dominate too much and it would seem like Chamberlain was the better player (Russell only made 1st team NBA twice after Chamberlain entered the league) to make Chamberlain over confident.  Bill Russell GOAT.

He thinks he being more clever here than he is.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Guys from back then think they're tougher than these warriors... as if that would make up for them being slower, smaller, less athletic, and significantly less skilled. If toughness counted for that much Steven Adams would run this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be an good player defensively, but he would have minimal impact on GS. Just now, Destino said: Guys from back then think they're tougher than these warriors... as if that would make up for them being slower, smaller, less athletic, and significantly lesser skilled. If toughness counted for that much Steven Adams would run this league.  From back when?
