Game #75 | Cavaliers @ Hornets | March 28th, 2018 @ 7:00 PM EST

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
He’s crying.. thinking to himself.. “damn idk what to say? I’m leaving next season no doubt...” lol
 
I just wanna know who’s fucking idea was to have them damn TSUN bitches on the floor seats. Jordan brand sucks anyway. And LBJ just showed he really doesn’t care about the fans in Miami with that showing last night.lol. He gave 200% tonight and those Charlotte fans showed him some love at the end.

Shows how much respect LBJ has amongst basketball fans everywhere. They may hate him, but that hate is in a sense respect. Just like we hated Jordan, we knew he was great.........Well they hate (Respect) Lebron that same way.
 
Kemba is overrated and would not fit with LeBron at all.
It would be another Isaiah Thomas situation.

But we gotta have a big 3 , no matter if one of them might barely classify as a star level player.

I mean, I made my post just as a joke. Kemba's not in my top5 of players I'd love the Cavs to make a serious run at this summer.

But I do not see/get the IT comparison at all.

Better, more complete player. Not coming off a major and still unresolved injury. Doesn't have a crazy "chip on shoulder"/Napoleon complex/alpha dog mash up of a personality.

I did not compare him to IT.
I said having him on the team will be another IT situation.
As in an overhyped "star" who doesn't fit next to LeBron, will choke and provide next to zero value.

I'm not sure about that. Kemba was a winner in college and has that killer instinct at times. He is in a similar position as Kyrie was before LeBron came. He has only made the playoffs twice. I think he would fall in line to figure out a way to win.

The problem with IT and Crowder was they had won in a system and didn't think they needed to change to fit in.

Um, sure. Not really much you can do to prove or disprove that without him actually being on the team. Kemba has always been clutch in late close game situations though. Not sure why you're so adamantly against him.

I do tend to think that short of a Kyrie level talent or someone like CP3 who LeBron respects so much, that it is a tricky balance to figure out what resources to devote to the PG position though.

Bron, while hugging Kemba, no doubt is saying, "Hey man, Koby tried to hook it up in February, but just couldn't get it done. Hang in there, we'll circle back and grab you this summer"

Just a little added context to this for those hitting the disagree(which bothers me none)

There is a long history of the media and fans making a huge deal out of all the times LeBron would hug and talk to other stars on the court when the game ended, usually with his hand or a towel covering his mouth so the camera couldn't catch what he was saying. Even in YEAR ONE back here in 2014, they got all crazy about what he said to Wade post game on the court.

So I'm just riffing on that. While I clearly don't dislike Kemba as a player or fit on this team as much as some of you, he's not a target or a wish for me. There's easily 5-8 other players who *possibly* might be available this summer or next trade deadline that I'd prefer over Kemba. And I'm also more than happy to see if the George Hill/Clarkson/LeBron trio of primary ball handlers works well next season.
 
See? All Bron needs is a little help. JR stepped up, and we were able to push the lead.

When I tuned in, we were shooting 1-10 from 3, down 39-36, and getting out-rebounding. The rest of the way, we shot 10-18 from 3, and out-rebounded THEM, 24-20. From the middle of the second to the end of the third, we outscored them 59-36.
