He's right, though.

They should get rid of Draymond and Igoudala, extend Klay and sign LeBron. Draymond is not worth max extension and Bell can play just as good of defense, which is the only thing they would really miss if they lost him. Igoudala just straight sucks.

I'd like KDs bitch ass to tell me to my face that wouldn't be an awesome team.

Draymond's contract is good for another two seasons though. I do think the Warriors will look at dealing him in the 2019-2020 season if Bell continues to develop. The Iggy contact was a PR move to the rest of the players in the league more than anything.

Would you take my squad or not? You'll hate to see Klay on the Bulls if you don't.

I just meant that it's BS. That was just LeBron trying to make the Cavs do something/implicitly tell interested teams that he's not long for Cleveland, so clear cap space for me now.

I do enjoy all the "LeBron would destroy his legacy" stuff that's come out in the last two days after all the "DON'T CRITICIZE KD HE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE WANTS" stuff in 2016.

He should tattoo the word on his forehead. It actually wouldn't even be his worst tattoo.

People, yeah. But much of the NBA sports media defended him (which, for the record is good--the man has a right to do whatever will make him happy--just don't get mad when people point out that you took the easy way out), especially compared to 2010 when the same people murdered LeBron.

LeBron normalized it in 2010. If he joins the Rockets people will slurp him. Only way he gets backlash now is if he somehow ended up a Warrior.

The backlash against LeBron in 2010 would have been significantly less if he didn't have the TV show too announce it.

Greg? Monroe used to regularly light up the Celtics but I'm not sure how he fits on the Celtics.

The one that ESPN begged for and pushed him to do and then all of their personalities spent years railing against him for? The one that raised $2.5 million for charity?

I know, it was awful. I agree with you. He shouldn't have done it. Maybe the response would have been slightly different, but I doubt it would have changed much.

Idk, maybe. It certainly won't be 2010, but I think it will be more criticized than KD. Which is fine I guess because it means people feel like the stakes are bigger.

I really hope he doesn't go to the Rockets.
