    You're bringing up Father Time in the same sentence with LeBron. I was just pointing out the fact that he's still a top 5 player in the league regardless of age. Thats what should be looked at when predicting their season.

    There's no team I'd rather see fall out of contention than the geriatric purple and piss this season...it's like they mined the 3 ball league to fill a roster! Lebron is starting to show the cracks in his armor...we're going to sweep those bozos this season dude!

    Well then, there are 3 or 4 wins for us. Outstanding.

    He’s not a top 5 player when he goes down again with an over use injury.

    Sure:

    So, let’s say Dame and George offset each other (that’s doing Dame a disservice). Nurk, CJ, and RoCo would be my next picks for my team before I took anyone off the Clippers’ roster.

    He won't be "over used" this season. Doesn't have to carry the load like he has in the past.

    Lebron must be experiencing some "shrinkage" because there seems to be room for you in his jockstrap.

    True, but in this case will you really be surprised if Ariza is still capable of being a productive reserve? Melo, OTOH........

    Depends on what you're expecting out of him. If you need 15 minutes of defense and 1 3 a game. He'll be perfect.

    I'm sure many a Laker fan are thinking just like you.
    You kind of sound a little conflicted here my friend.

    Lebron wouldn't get the same respect here.
