Free Agent LeBron James and Portland

I feel like this thread is a classic "delete this nephew" post.

 

So? Pay the penalty.

 

This advice does no one any good unless it's coupled with some explicit reasoning.

 

Are you trolling?

 

Lanny, there is no penalty to just pay. The most the Blazers could offer was $5.3 million. There is no possible way to give LeBron $30 million. Even if it were possible, we could only offer the same as Philly or LAL could so he'd still have to choose us over them which wasn't going to happen.

You started a thread about something that isn't possible and are now getting defensive about it. This isn't the old days where teams could just pay whatever. There are rules.

 

GOOD THING WE DIDNT CHOOSE LEBRON

Laker hatred > Country

 

Fucking guy should be paying attention to global events. Not lbj.

This president makes me ashamed to be a republican. Sorry for the political rant.

 

Fixed this for you.
It's not a political party issue. Republicans, Democrats, Green Party, independents, and those who don't get into politics should be embarrassed

 

Fair enough.

 

I believe I’m registered as a republican - yes throw the hate this way I guess... However I’m not ashamed of it. I did not and would never vote for Trump.

 

I know people who've voted for him that are really good people.

They're stupid for voting for him but nonetheless, still good folk.

 

We can't just sign LBJ to a huge contract even if we wanted to.
Trump isn't a republican even if they want him to be one.
Demos didn't win, even if they wanted it.

I get this thread, now. Neat.

 

When did I say they could sign him to a huge contract?
I realize there are CBA rules...

 

Not even a little. You couldn't pay me to root for a team with James on it.

 

Yeah, but who came first?

 

And why's that?

 

I wasn't cracking on you, I was referring to the OP.
