Article detailing Lebron's free agency choice

Accuracy is debatable without proof.

Its far from accurate and a HUGE reach. The best dirt the haters can come up with is LeBron "almost" was kicked off Team USA 2 years ago? And we're just reporting it now. :lol: Yeah Im sure David Stern and Phil Knight were down with that 1.

1 minute he's selfish, the next minute he's not an alpha male. LeBron needs to hurry up and punch a teammate or catch a felony so we can outright call him a thug. If he's as bad as the article tries to portray him then the entire league, owners, GMs, fans, media alike wouldntve been kissing his ass all summer. He wouldnt be a 2 time undisputed MVP. If he's such a headache and cancer why was everyone begging this man to come play for their franchise? Why is he getting so much coverage and attention in the offseason? Because he's the King and he's great at what he does and he can fuel an entire US city's economy.

These "smear campaign" articles are weak and predictable. The real reason people (primarily NBA owners) are upset is because LeBron, Bosh, & Wade successfully used their leverage and power to go to the team of their choice. Most of the time, its the GMs with that power, but these guys did something that hadnt been done before and had the whole sports world at their feet begging to kiss their ass. Even Jordan in his last days as a Bull, after all he did, had nowhere near the authority or power LeBron just displayed. Jordan & Pipp had to fight hard for their money their entire careers as Bulls, and management pulled the plug when they deemed it necessary. LeBron boldly did what few athletes can, and people resent him for it. Its like Jesse said and Howard Stern confirmed, LeBron really is seen as a "runaway slave" that insulted his "slavemaster" when he put his interests above Dan Gilberts.

The runaway slave reference is a bit heavy handed, what Lebron is going through definitely doesn't compare to the underground railroad.

But...it does have its correlations. Much like college basketball.

Really, I think the only two parties complaining are Cleveland fans and Kobe fans, the latter upset because their idol's dynasty may be over after two years.

I'm not ready to crown Miami yet though. They still have to learn to play together as a team.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
