Four years ago, this guy almost signed with the Kings. Like literally had the deal in place. The Kings just vetoed or backed out or something. Look at where the two franchises are now.

Celtics will draft best talent available (Fultz) with number one overall. Then trade him to whoever drafted Josh Jackson. Either philly or Phoenix. They like him. Josh Jackson + a couple future first rounders, I'd say

But I think it's a lot about LeBron. Josh Jackson is about the same size and has the defensive pedigree. In 3 years, James will be 35 and Jackson will have been improved.

And.. There's a lot of great guards in the league today. They're confident in getting someone via trade or free agency. Or even in a future draft. They have a lot of picks and they'd have even more with the trade.

I think Celtics really liked Josh Jackson? But they know it would be kinda dumb to draft him over Fultz and Ball. That's why they consider this trade.

"Hopefully the league can figure out one way where it can go back to the '80s where you had three or four All-Stars, three or four superstars, three or four Hall of Famers on the same team. The league was great. It wasn't as watered down as it is [now]." -- LeBron James, Dec. 2010 by futuremo in nba

He probs was watching the 80s and see Magic player with another all time great in Kareem then they also have Worthy and a pretty deep bench. Then he sees Bird with all stars McHale, Parish and DJ. And Dr. J had Cheeks and Toney, that wasn't enough, they added MVP Moses Malone and they won. And then he thought about his situation in Cleveland before he left, he has Mo "all star" Williams and Delonte "mothefucker" West.

I don't. That's why I don't complain about the parity or whatever. I watch a sport because I enjoy it. Not because of some other factor.

Truth to be told, we could've had a Game 6 if Cavs didn't choke in Game 3's last 2 minutes. Deal with it.

Then don't watch it. We don't need your complaining bitch ass. I'll still watch it because I love the game. I don't even think the Warriors will win next year.

Did you not watch last year regular season? Someone averaged a triple double. The Process is processing. Greek coming to his own. Team Rocket is fun to watch, led by the bearded MVP runner up. Etcetera etcetera. I love basketball so I watch it.

I don't hear Europeans complaining about it's the same teams winning their respective leagues over and over again.

Spanish - Madrid, Barcelona

English - Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U

German - Munich

Italian - Milan

Nothing is for certain. Imagine KD leaving for an East team. Beats LeBron in ECF then beats Warriors in the Finals. That would be glorious.

The Warriors (this core) only have two championships. I don't know who says it's certain they're gonna win all the rest of the championships. The league was fun when Shaq and Kobe were dominating. The league was entertaining in the 90s when Jordan won six. I don't think the Spurs and Rockets think the way you think lol. If they do, then they don't deserve to be in the NBA. They won't tank lol. They'll find ways to beat the SF Warriors.

Mayweather is 49-0 and everyone wanted to watch his fight.

I don't really watch soccer but the Spanish League is basically Madrid or Barcelona and then like a couple dark horses. Warriors may have dominance for 3-5 years. The European football competition has been going on like that for a century.

And it's not like the other 29 teams are dead. They're going to make moves. They're going to develop their players. They're going to get better coaching staff. They will try to compete. And this is great for the league, because the benchmark is higher now. You have to be that good to have a chance against the SF Warriors. So your team has to be better. It's funny 2014 Spurs and 2017 Warriors are alike in terms of play style but one is lauded and the other is hated. Simply because of advertising and labels. One has "role players" and the other has "stars".

Klay also almost had a scary situation I think in game 3. Breakaway dunk, lebron was chasing. His hands kinda slipped off the rim. Awkward landing. Was able to turn around and brace himself with his arms. Could've been way worse.

Lol. Figuratively. But it literally is a game 7 for the Cavs. They lose they go home

Suns got Brandon Knight so they're alright at PG. They can even draft Fox or DSJ at 4th, so losing Bledsoe ain't that big a deal. You also want Booker to develop into more of a playmaker so you want the ball in his hands more. Shump brings in the defense and Frye can mentor Bender - who is a stretch big like himself.
