    Vet min guards aRe dime a dozen. Vet min bigs are not. Dsj came from the gleague. Mac is a third stringer on most teams.
    We can pick up all the vet min guards we want and i didn't think it will help us at all, however vet min bigs are harder to come by and are needed more because bigs break down more.
    So i do think its relevant which types of ver mins we can get. To me its very relevant regardless of others insulting opinions.

    dude i clarified it in the next post. You ignored it. I then asked you about it and you went off with your strawman bullshit. We were having a fine conversation until you jumped the gun and went off on a tangent about me, making it all personal.

    You could have also asked me to clarify like i asked you to, instead of just insulting me, but hey…

    ill take the blame for this too. It was all me. Im a strawman troll and i was only looking to piss you off. Not actually have an up and up conversation…………

    I would trade one draft pick to take Bronny James and get LeBron on the cheap.

    This is all kind of silly. Just draft Bronny and he'll come to you.

    Isn't Bronny like a junior in high school?

    So we want to wait anywhere from 2 years to 5 years for Bronny to her Lebron?

    No way. If Lebron wants to come here next year. Make it happen but don't move Little, Ant, Dame or Nurk.

    Don't want him. He's on the way out. Doesn't have another championship in him.

    As the #1 guy on the team, maybe not. But his passing combined with the passing of dame, nurk and ant would be incredible. He wouldn't be asked to be a closer, getting 38 minutes a night.

    This. I don’t think Cleveland wants him. They’ve moved on.

    That is the only way it would work.

    You mortgage the future to sign an aging star, then have nothing left to surround him but sludge. What then? You don't win a title that way.

    Hahaha. Lakers wouldn’t do it for less than a re-signed Simons.

    Do you honestly believe the Lakers would trade LeBron without including at least 2 of those guys?

    It's not the money the Bulls and Bullets paid Jordan that got him his own franchise. It's his Nike deal. If Lebron wants to ride off into the sunset with as much money as possible it will be Nike that will get it for him.

    Force his way to Portland while keeping Lillard here will give Lebron his greatest and last chance to work with Nike to set up a brand that will outlive his playing days.
