Wow, Bulls board stupidity reaching new, UNKNOWN dimensions!
- "No amount of talent can overcome LeBron aging another year.
Its over.
Unless Kyrie takes a big step into MVP level conversation, LeBron is not winning another ring after this season. This is THE season for the Cavs."
What did I just read? HELP!
So for Chicago, it's ok to have an often-injured, bad playing Rose, because their team is still very well balanced (which is true of course).
But as soon as James starts to decline a little, it's THE season for the Cavs? Even if playing with two superstars for the foreseeable future? Yeah, ok...
- "You have to also account for the fact that Love and Kyrie are both under-sized/at par SIZE for their positions. This makes shot-making a tougher skill year-over-year. More teams will just put a jumbo defender on Kyrie, thus effectively moving ball-handling, creating pressure on LeBron again - especially in the playoffs."
Ehm, so that would be a bad thing for us because...?
Am I missing something right here?
- "Here's 20 players that are better than Love next season:
PG's : Kyrie, Wall, Rose, Westbrook, Paul, Lillard, Curry
SG's: Jimmy, Harden, Kawahi, Klay
SF's: LeBron, George, Durant
PF's: Bosh, Anthony Davis, Aldridge, Blake
C's: Cousins, Marc Gasol
Thats 20...and thats without guys like Noah, Horford, Melo, Lowry ...all of whom can legitimately fill in the Top 25."
Wow, so he can already come to this conclusion at this point in the season? Without counting in one single playoff game? Props to his Nostradamus abilities.
The bolded part is just laughable...
- LeBron WILL decline next season. That is not debatable.
"How much?" is debatable.
I contend that his ELITE skills - athleticism and defense will become non-ELITE. Still great, but not ELITE. This is actually true of this season as well. He is NOT elite in those 2 areas.
Also, teams with more talent than the Cavs this season:
Bulls
Grizzlies
Clippers
Spurs
-There's just way TOO many variables stacked against Cleveland. That and they gave away a bunch of picks.
We have none of those constraints. Our one constraint is health. Which doesnt look to be an issue this post-season. And which is also a factor for Cleveland ( Varejao's injury cost them 2 first round picks).
- Trust me on this...from a salary perspective we are WAY better positioned than Cleveland is. I wish I could magically transport you to my spreadsheet so I can show it.
And from a team talent perspective, we are way better than the Cavs.
Cavs have to keep on trading salary for salary and hope every trade works out for them. We have PICKS! Plural. With Sactown's pick next in the 2016 draft cycle.
And there is NO ONE on the Cavs roster who can give them what a Niko is gonna give us for years to come. And I am not even looking at Doug - who I think will be a flat out baller.
Our oldest player is better than their oldest player....our youngest prospects are better than their youngest prospects.
ANY WAY you dice it, we have a better outlook than them.
If Love and/or LeBron leave next year...or opt out.....
Cleveland goes back to having to overpay for mediocre talent.
Ok guys, I'm going to stop right here.
I know it already has become very hard to read.
I don't know what to say anymore to the bolded parts in the last paragraph.
Just wanted to show you some very, VERY, delusional posts. Apparently, that's how some Bulls fans feel over there. I know it's crazy, but you gotta admit, it put some smiles upon your face as well!
