    Anyone who doesn't think Lebron is a douche...well...he's no Tim Duncan.

    If Love does leave, that could go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history. One year of Kevin Love (his worst season) for a player that I think is going to be a stud All Star!

    Easy for me to say since it's not my money, but I dont understand why these star players who also make a ton of money via endorsements want max contracts. I'd rather take less money and be on the team of my choice and so my team could surround me with better players and win!

    They're competitive. They want to win at everything, including the salary game.

    Which gave Memphis Marc Gasol. Could be at the same level of epic proportions!

    EDIT: Scratch that... I think that trade was for Pau Gasol... My bad

    I wouldn't say every GM, but yes, some GMs and many media members. Or do you not remember the Summer of 2012...or as I like to call it, "When S2 was out-GM'ing David Kahn and out-reporting Jaynes and Quick and Jerry Zgoda and out-agenting Bouma Ndiaye"
