LeBron is back and looks crappy. This could be a wasted season for Lebron and for the first time it seems possible he could start breaking down soon.

Season doesn’t start until April

It was a wasted season the moment he decided to go to LA.

[Coach]

Kyrie walking back that statement he made months ago about staying in Boston....not a shocker.

[bada]

He's one odd duck.

[Monkey_Driven]

He's a really good leader though.

Hold your judgement until you see Space Jam 2 you fool!!

Team meeting scheduled for Sunday to change the narrative. Maybe he'll buy Tatum a car or something?

[Coach]

A leader doesn't act this way. Fans will likely boo him a bit and that'll be another nail in the coffin - he seems too sensitive for Boston. So be it.

Maybe he hates racists.

The players have way too much control in the NBA and I can't think of a way to swing things back the other way a little. It's pretty ridiculous when guys who havent accomplished anything except being injury prone get to call their own shots (I'm talking about KP but it actually applies to AD too). What's next, Collin Sexton or some dude like that demanding a trade? The cat is out of the bag so who knows.

AD is very, very different than Porzingas. I have zero problem with him trying to get away from a bumbling franchise that hasn't successfully built around him. Yeah, he's had injuries but he's an incredible player and he has the clout to pull this kind of move. Porzingas, no. Kyrie with 2 full years before his option left, no. AD, yeah.

What about Thon Maker's trade request?

What about Thon Maker's trade request?

Or Marquese Chriss'?

I was either reading or listening to some sports thing the other day and they were talking about this. Back in the day, it got a bit boring as players stayed on the same teams and rarely moved, which became boring (see Celtics-Lakers in the 80s).

And now things have swayed way too much in the player's direction.

Maybe we need someone like Roger Goddell to fix this (just kidding, kind of).

He doesn't like the MIT scientists who refute his claim that the Earth is flat. Oh wait, there's another comment he walked back recently. I see a trend!

[guestT]

If Thon is unhappy sitting behind DJ Wilson, he's really going to hate it when Christian Wood steals what's left of his minutes.

The lack of player movement in the 80s may have led to Lakers Celtics predictability but hyper player mobility and the ensuing super teams have led to the same thing. It might be even worse now as there is zero chance the warriors lose this year and at least those Lakers Celtics series were always a toss up.

The lack of defense in this nuggets rockets game is disgusting
