    “Incessant Posts”? I’m simply giving my opinion on other people’s opinions. I apologize if it’s not lining up with yours.

    Super pumped and still am about Scoot. DC is about where I thought he’d be. A couple years away from being a quality starting center. Not sure if either of those are “passionate” vibes though.

    Reath is fine as a 3rd string.... But with Timelord as Backup and Yang we have four centers.

    Cavs would be much worse if they trade for LeBron. No way for them to make salaries fit without removing multiple starters and backups.

    Question:

    Does anyone genuinely enjoy smoking cigars or is it just an image thing?

    last season Clingan was at least as good, quite arguably better than Ayton, and you've been mourning the loss of Ayton. Yet, you're still claiming Clingan is a "couple years away".....geeeeezuzzz. If Clingan was a couple of years away after one season, Ayton was a couple of years away after 7 seasons

    For Lebron though it looks very much like an image thing

    Agree on the image thing. Not surprising really.
    I used to enjoy cigars. Not while golfing. Standing over a ball with smoke rolling into your nose and eyes is the last place I would want one.
    Also, kind of sounded like the exact type of guy LBJ would golf with. Probably a wealthy, borderline dirtball with some skeletons in his past that would blow Lebron after 175 yard drive into the water just to stroke his ego.

    So Ayton/Vucevic would be the rip protection backing up Luka/Reeves/Knecht? Oh plus a 41 year old LBJ.

    Might be the worst defense in the NBA outside tanking teams.

    Nevermind, our center position is much better than last season I guess

    This is embarrassing.

    Any middle schooler can do this.

    Why, because he’s arguably the best player to ever play the game? You have so much hate, that you question him liking cigars? This place cracks me up

    Don't hate him at all. He is one of the best players to play the game. He may like Cigars. Smoking while teeing up and filming seems all about image to me. Not really great to golf with smoke in your eyes.

    If I'm smoking a cigar it's while sitting back and chilling with a glass of rum in the other hand.
