Are you retarded? You were arguing that LeBron is the best active player in the league through their respective careers. I would say there are at least 10 active players who have had careers that I'd rather have on my team than LeBron's career. If you're talking about just right now, and right now only, then sure LeBron is better than them, because he's fuging 29 years old and guys like Duncan and KG are 38 and Kobe is 35. LeBron is right in his prime right now and those guys are on the back 9 just finishing up. But even if we were talking just right now I would honestly still want Duncan at 38 years old, Kevin Durant, even Paul George is a better leader than LeBron. LeBron is the most talented player in the league by a long shot, but I believe he couldn't be further from the best overall player that I would want on my team to win and to win only.

 

 

Am I retarded because you can't read? All I've ever said was LeBron is the best player in the league right now. That's it. I never said anything about any other players and their entire careers. The whole discussion was about who is the current best player. You took it off in another direction.

He took a below average Cavs team to The Finals. LeBron may not have the attitude you particularly desire but to say he doesn't possess leading and winning qualities is no different than a Taint or Falcon fan citing that Cam is not a winner nor leader.

 

 

Ding ding ding.....correct

I was really surprised and disappointed at how many empty seats there were last night.  More than a few luxury suites had zero people in them.  If a company cannot get a single employee or client to attend a Saturday night playoff game against the best player in the world and reigning back-to-back champs then I would like to see them charged an outrageous fee.

 

May have to scalp a ticket Monday bc there will definitely be plenty available.

19,600+ is pretty remarkable a number for the Bobcats. The luxury suites don't impact the game as far as crowd noise goes because most of the people are arrogant pricks anyway. If we can averaged 19,600 next year, it will put us in the top 8 in the NBA in attendance.

While I'm frustrated just as much as everyone else I do actually see a silver lining. We are learning what it will take to make the next step. We probably would have hung with any other team in the East or beat them. Going up against the Heat has exposed what we need to work on in the summer to take the next step and areas that need to be addressed. It's just a part of progression of development. We made big strides this year and have to take the licks to make big strides again next year.

To be great you have to be able to beat elite teams. At least we have an idea of what it's going to take to do that now.

Nice and level-headed view. You get it.

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

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
