    If they get cut and dry calls wrong often, then I doubt they could automatically or even easily determine the level of control a player has over a fumbling of a ball.

    Aside for the obvious lust for his talent, do you want AD less now than before? I used to see him as a great fit in Portland. Now he seems more like Durant, LeBron and other NBA divas.

    I'd obviously still take him because talent wins in this league, but he has handled this about as poorly as you could. Makes you respect Dame that much more.

    Walking out on teammates in the middle of a game with your asshole agent is the ultimate low.

    So they are definitely blowing it up in NOLA! Interesting. Didn’t they just sweep a team in the first round last year?
    Ah, the stability of success.
    I love that senior management just straight up sold their players out. Said all the bad shit thats going on is because the lasck of talent on the roster. that might be true, but to put that out there like THAT!?!

    Lebron just isn’t a draw. Relatively speaking, nobody wants to play with him. Dude is toxic since he always puts himself above the team. Young players probably all hate him. He left Cleveland to go to the lakers because? Couldn’t be basketball reasons. Hope he doesn’t even make the playoffs.

    I dont know if its just the media around him, his agent / business group, what it is but the narrative around Lebron has always been (at least publicly) if the team wins its because Lebron did it, if the team loses its because his teammates suck. I think that other ‘stars’ are a little hesitant to jump into that knowing full well if they lose itll be blamed on them. The only time that Narrative has changed was when Miami lost to Dallas, but even then who were the guys that completely changed their games, it wasnt Lebron it was Wade and Bosh. As much as I loved watching young healthy Dwade it was the right choice, but if you’re a star and want to play with Lebron you have to know going into it that if you lose more than likely the Blame will be on you and the expectation will be that you’ll have to change your game to suit Lebrons needs.

    One thing about Davis this guy is always hurt. Yes he is great basketball player but he know leader though because wouldn't do want he did the other night. If he plays the all Star game it shows me he wasn't as hurt that led on to.

    agree...and thats the main reason PG I think stayed in OKC. At least there he is looked at on the same level as Westbrook, although he's playing well above now and getting the recognition too.
    Im not sure he's be able to do that along side James in LA?
