    I read it. And I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, see above. :)

    He must really hate Kevin Love.

    And regret it.

    Blazers need to immediately upgrade their bench. I'm thinking gold and leather. If Lebron wants to come off the bench he should come off the most luxurious bench in the history of the world.

    This might be contrived and all. But Lebron gets way too much hate. Dude knows how to win and be a team player. Compare him to a dick like Kobe, and it's no contest who I want leading the team.

    Publicly offering to make a sacrifice you are already 100% certain nobody would ever allow you to make is nothing more than a grasp for personal and individual attention.

    You guys realize how much cap space Lebron will suck dry? No thanks. You want a bench...it'll consist of Hashim Thabeet and Nolan Smith if you sign the superstar

    Id trade batum for him but not matthews. Matthews has the perfect attitude I never want him to play against me. He needs to retire a blazer.

    As talented as Lebron is, he's an iso player who wants to be a floor coach and it's had mixed results.The Cavs actually looked better when he was off the court. I'd rather have 3 good bench players and keep our starters than empty the cap on a superstar..yeah, I'm a homer even though I detest that word.

    LeBron isn't an iso player. He is a point guard with the body of a power forward. He is ball dominant but he works within an offense (right now the Cavs don't exactly have an offense though but that's not his fault that's a weak coach).

    He's a great player, don't get me wrong but if you took a dribble count, he likes to dominate the ball, that's iso ball. Look at KLove's offensive production when playing with Bron and imagine that's Aldridge or Lillard getting left in the cold so he can showboat. I could be wrong but my gut says he wouldn't fit well in our system. He'd fit in the Knicks triangle really well though.
