So when do we get to burn the LeBroptimism meter?
I’m disgusted.
I’m not overly disappointed we didn’t get Lebron. I was so worn out by the process that by the end of it I was hoping for the fairy tale ending of him returning to the Cavs. That wouldn’t have been so bad for the Knicks and would have saved him from himself.
As it is, I think he’s a total asshole of a human being for putting several cities through this (especially his hometown and the Cavs and then bailing on them). He maximized everyone’s pain and disappointment.
I also think what we saw against the Celtics was that Lebron is flawed psychologically. He blinked under fire and stopped believing in himself. That’s probably why he became the first alpha male to run with tail between his legs to another to try win a championship despite being only 25 years old.
I think from now on when anyone does something really heartless we should call it a “Lebron”. lol
All that said, I was very against the Jeffries/Hill/Picks trade because I thought this was a very likely outcome. We gave up valuable assets that we could still have right now and Jeffries would be coming off or easily moved later this year.
However, it didn’t work out that badly.
Amare is a mild upgrade over Lee without a huge difference in salary. So the Lee space we already had was used well enough.
Some of the space was used in the Lee S&T for Randolph. Randolph is a massively better prospect and fit than Jordan Hill. Azubuike and Turiaf replace some of the pick value.
Now we still have some space left to get a PG. All in all its not that bad.
I agree LBJ did this all wrong and now has affected his legacy in more than one way. Also every championship he wins he could be seen as wade’s side kick.
I am excited by Randolph high potential low risk
Also rumors are that DW may retire because of his health and Kevin Pitchard may be his replacement a move I totally approve of.
Dan, i think the first order of business for this blog is to remove that Lepusism meter.
Yes, please kindly remove the LeDiva meter.
After feeling “dirty” minutes after THE DECISION ended I felt an overwhelming wave of nausea overcome me after seeing the “three queens” being introduced in Miami.
It’s no so much the decision to leave for Miami that disgusts me most but, rather, how the process unfolded, how the three of these guys orchestrated this outcome and how smug and overly confident the trio have become. Bold would be an understatement. Insulting would be just about right.
You can bet the League will look into making some changes in the CBA that will make it more difficult for teams to lose their home-grown talent.
Lebron is a legend in his own mind. He has tarnished his legacy and should be called Lebron James Worthy.
Don’t be blind either. CP3 jumped to Lebron’s agency recently. He’s part of this pinkie shake that was made 3 years ago. They will find a way to get him to Miami unless there is a prolonged lockout.
Having said all that, I think Walsh has done an admirable job – considering he had to go up against a pinkie shake (no one wins against a pinkie shake!). He parlayed Lee into Randolph, Turiaf and Azabuike; a nice haul in my opinion for a guy who was destined to leave for the big bucks. We have Felton who has agreed in principle to a 3 year deal. He underachieved in Charlotte because he was misused. His game is not suited for running the half court set and implementing the same play from 1962 over and over again. His game is best suited for the style of play he played as a collegiate at UNC – running and making decisions on the fly. Sounds like a good fit to me. Now if he could just improve that shooting percentage….
Summer play on Sunday. Can’t wait.
