LeBron talking about coming off the bench for Cavs

Fact is Lebron would get crucified if he bailed on Cleveland after the return. I don't see it happening

 

I'm not interested in rooting for a team with LeBrainless on it.

Character matters.

 

I just disagree, I think he'd love to have Aldridge+Lillard over Love+Irving. Aldridge would give him about 5 assists a night just off drive and dish alone, Dame would get far less perimeter pressure and his game would expand because of it. LeBron IS all about winning at this stage of his career, he would be #1 here but don't for a second think LA or Dame would be forgotten, LBJ is a team player.

 

I forgot to post "OT" in the thread title.

What are you talking about? The Cavs are like 2-8 without hm. Cavs were lotto team last year. Add LeBron and they're a division leader.

 

I'll admit I havent watched them unless they played us and Lebron was not there. I saw some highlights when he seemed to be disinterested and then there was the coach flak he seemed to flaunt. He has not utilized KLoves offense with the Cavs. As to their record, I don't follow them. Mo Williams and Chris Bosh have mentioned it

 

Just for the record KS, I hate seeing Lebron, KLove or Kobe threads in the Blazer forum, that's my personal prejudice. Especially when they get their own threads here.

 

Love is LeBron's fault. Love is Love's fault. LeBron is true MVP this season. If he doesn't win it, it's because people are sick of giving it to him.

 

He's not the MVP this season and it has nothing to do with Love or Irving or anyone else. Lamarcus is way ahead of him in the race as far as this season's production goes.

 

I love Aldridge but I disagree. Cavs were an awful lottery team last season. Add LeBron and they are leading their division. That is the definition of MVP. He won't win it but he deserves it.

 

and in my original post, I mean THIS season not last season. LeBron deserves it this season.

 

Kevin Love is a stat sheet stuffer. He barely has a post game, and he can't guard his own position.
Kevin Love put up numbers with the wolves because Adelman ran an offense to perfect for his skillset.
Also Kevin Love had Pek(who one could argue is a better basketball player than Love) to take up the majority of the space down low... And who Love could play off of.
Love is really Luke Babbit 2.0 or even Steve Novack 2.0.
The only thing Love really excels at is shooting the 3. Which without getting the touches he did with the wolves it's looking more and more like Kevin Love is a volume shooter.
(I guess that's why the t-wolfs went something outrageous like 0-12 in games decided by x points or less Love's last year there? I can't remember but it was crazy.)
Can't blame LBJ for Love's low basketball IQ, and minimal skillset for his position.

 

Best post in this thread.

 

I'm not a KLove fan by any stretch, but that was not my point concerning LBJ. Chris Bosh went through similar neglect playing with him. My point is, chemistry matters..just look at the Lakers with their superstar..sometimes the results are not ideal.

 

Chris Bosh isn't a great post player though, he is a better face up shooter than a back to the basket guy. Aldridge is more balanced.

 

Chemistry matters yes I agree.
However Talent matters also.
Chris Bosh is considerably more talented both offensively and defensively than Kevin Love is.
Kevin Love is a one dimensional player who isn't able to adjust his game like Chris Bosh did when playing with LBJ.

LBJ is arguably the most talented player in the world. He can adjust his game to play with anyone due to his versatility.
However Kevin Love isn't talented enough to adjust his game to play with better players.
It takes two, to play with each other.

To stay on topic. WTF LBJ why you talking about coming off the bench? Crazy-talk.

 

He's following the advice of Chris Kaman

 

Like a bench for a King? Throw some velvet in there?

 

i dont care if you want to give me durrant lebron and a blow job im not giving up matthews. dude is the hardest working guy out there, ill take a team full of guys like that over superstars anyday

 

Tricky plan to convince Love to come off the bench. "I'M willing to," says LeBron.

 

He just wants to add 6th man of the year to his trophy mantle
