Ferry to meet with Blazers about GM job Wednesday

Ferry's unemployed. He "resigned" earlier this month.

 

See, that's all I needed to read. This isn't supposed to be a Kobe vs LeBron debate, but anyone that actually has WATCHED their careers, and seen what they've done in clutch situations, knows LeBron is not a killer. Definitely not even close to Kobe. Kobe has made a million more big shots that have led to huge wins than LeBron has even dreamed about making. And you know it's true. In fact - it's a fact. LeBron is a freak of nature that does things that no one has ever been able to do. He's Karl Malone meets Magic Johnson. Amazing. But he ain't a killer. Not like Jordan or Kobe. And I honestly believe that is why he hasn't won a ring. Not because of Ferry's inability to surround him with talent.

 

We'll see what Miller and Allen say when Ferry demands complete control. I still don't think he ends up here.

 

Wouldn't this be true with any GM we hire? No matter who becomes our GM, they will be under a massive LOCAL microscope. Way more than KP ever dealt with. Nationally? Not so much. Especially for Ferry who was tasked with surrounding LeBron with enough talent. Ferry went for it. He pushed all his chips in with Cleveland. He's the fall guy. But he's not the reason they didn't win a ring this year. At least not in my eyes. I've seen enough from LeBron to know that he will need a Wade-type killer to get him to the promised land. He has no guts when it counts.

 

Can't wait to see who's next of the list.

What is the bad move or moves that Ferry has done for everyone to consider him a bad GM?

 

He was GM for 5 years, and he inherited LeBron James. Small window?

What?

 

Ferry didn't seal the Stoudemire deal that was assumed closed at the All-Star break last year. He panicked and got Jamison on a terrible contract. Cleveland is now screwed because of that deal and that contract. May as well bring back Bob Whitsitt. At least Bob swung for the fences.

 

Well, the last couple years after LBJ signed his extension, he's made some desperation moves bringing in Wally/Big Ben, Shaq, Jamison, etc. is what I'm talking about. He was in a win-now mode.

 

Every one that tried didn't seal the Stoudemire deal, and you know as well as I do that the Cavs weren't the only team trying to acquire his services. The dude was the definition of "on the trading block." And yes, Cleveland is definitely screwed if LeBron leaves. Ferry had the balls to push all the chips in. Unfortunately for him, "the best player in the world" is a fucking coward.

 

Too bad about this then:

Well you're clearly in some fantasy world where I never became the Lakers mod. Not sure if you noticed, I've defended Kobe since July 06 around here.

Over their entire career? Kobe is an atrocious* clutch player in his prime. He had 19.9 PER against one of the softest defenses in the history of the league and choked a 3-1 lead. He shot 38% against the Pistons.

The only "fact" is that Kobe choked in Game 7 and shot 29% over the 7 fourth quarters in the Finals. Anti-closer.

*This is just using your logic against you.

 

The clutch God: Kobe in the Finals.

KB : 37 games - 25.3ppg - 5.7rpg - 5.1apg - 1.8spg - .412 FG% - .314 3P% - .848 FT%

Kobe is a career punk and choke artist* that choked his way into a fifth title. These rings discussions with James are lazy attempts at misplacing blame.

*If we want to use the same standards.

 

Choked his way in to a 5th title? LMAO. Do you know how fucking ridiculous that sounds?

That 24 second stat is a joke. An entire game can be played over the course of the last 24 seconds of an NBA game. You apparently don't watch much NBA hoops. 24 seconds is an eternity. I believe LeCoward only has one buzzer beating winner. I wonder how many Kobe has......

 

You're a Kobe homer, I'll set you straight don't worry.

Really, what would you call shooting 6-24 shooting in Game 7, 29% in 7 fourth quarters? Excellent or clutch?

Kobe in 2009 against the Magic:

10-33 in fourth quarters. 1-6 3 point line. 30.3% in the fourth quarter.

Chokage. He sucked last year and he sucked this year, in "closing time".

 

Oh but how do I remember that he sucked in 2009? Yeah that's right I watched that entire playoff run. Nice try though. ;]

One game winning shot, wow that's just funny.

Kobe is a piece of garbage on last second shots, for most of his career.

Calling me a Kobe homer is down right offensive!

You cannot deny that Kobe has hit massive, massive shots over the course of his career. And wouldn't it be hard to deny that LeBron is afraid to man up and even take the same shots? Fuck! Isn't this obvious?

 

Dude you're talking to one of the biggest Kobe fans back in the day. The Lakers just won back-to-back titles I'm not exactly mad at the franchise or anything.

You'll thank me later, don't waste too much time on this Kobe stuff.

 

Game Winning Shot Opportunity = 24 seconds or less left in the game, team with the ball is either tied or down by 1 to 2 points.

You definitely have not watched Kobe very much. How about under 8 seconds? The ones that matter. Like I said before, 24 seconds is a life time in the NBA. You know that. These stats suck. All I take from you leaning on stats is that you haven't watched much of Kobe. Seriously. And quit making me defend this fucker!! I hate you for this....

 

Fine, you're an ex Kobe fan because he's a choker. I wish our players choked that much. You have to be kidding me. This guy played, IMO, the biggest role in your recent 5 championships, and you bash him.

GET SOME REAL PROBLEMS

Fucking Laker fans are beyond mind bottling. You know - when your mind gets all bottled up.
