Would you trade for Lebron?

Definitely.

And Wade would be significantly worse. He's worse at basketball, older, and more injury prone.

A little more Prima LeBronna bashing. The more I read of this guy the easier it is to dislike him.

What a PR nightmare this guy has created for his image. However, anyone that would say no is blind and outright stupid. Yes, I don’t like the guy in how he has handled his career, hate the praise by espn etc. But does he pass the eye test of a great talent?? One that could take our team to a championship? But look at what Kobe went through??? The dude was killing himself in what he said and did. He matured and now the dude has 2 more rings and a chance for another 1 or 2 more rings to his 5! I would take this to win championships because eventually they mature and become better. Plus, I think it wont happen because they will work it out. I think they thought this would be like pick up games where you crush others and have fun. The only way I see him out is if he says I want out and Dwayde says he needs to go. Wont happen.

He is still one of or the best player in this league. I believe you would see something similar to what you had with ShowTime when Magic ran the lakers as a 6’9” PG. If the heat would take nash, jrich and lopez, we would be dumb to not say hell yes. Why? Because Nash’s career is almost over. I love the guy, but he is done. Jrich is gone too. Lopez is just another 7 footer that does not bring much to the court. So, you give me Lebron in what I see no future beyond nash for years to come, I would fall over myself for this opportunity. Hell, I would throw in Hedo too, or just keep him to get a big.

I think the teamwork/chemistry arguement favors Wade in this one, plus I like his game more.

That, and I was thinking about this the other day, why Bosh over Amare? I've been been involved in debates when I thought this at the time, but seriously, why?

A Wade/Amare or LeBron/Amare PNR would be devastating. Absolutely devastating.

I've ALWAYS wanted to see this....

PG - Nash
SG - Flash

Nash & Flash, like shake & bake, but way better.....

Jrich is a low-life who drinks and drives, and he also neglects his child's safety while driving. KG was once arrested for "2nd degree lynching", and Kobe's a rapist with five rings who requests trades and accuses his own teammates of hitting on his wife...At this point, they're all self-serving dbags...But does it really even matter?

I'd probably feel different if I had children, but I truly don't care at this point. Starved for a Finals appearance, I suppose.

Yeah...and then I'd trade him for Dwight Howard and lots of draft picks.

Not buying your short cakes Bluboy.
JRich made an error in judgment... that doesn't make him a Pompous JackAss.
And Kobe was innocent ya 'presumer'... but again, guilty of poor judgment. Don't know, dont care about KG.

LeBrain seems to be quite an arrogant prikk. Far different than a traffic violation, or a nymphonic trist.

Obviously I was exaggerating by calling Jrich a "low-life" to make a point, and there are a myriad of crimes/lapses in judgment that NBA players and professional athletes display on a daily basis as my post indicated--The portion of my post you chose to cut out of your quote. I don't see how someone such as yourself can dismiss legitimate crimes as "lapses in judgment" yet crucify LeBron for what many would argue are "lapses in judgment".

Note: I'd also like to point out here that innocent people typically don't pay off their accusers. But let's not beat a dead horse, that was years ago.

Wouldn't want LeBron for all the tea in China.

MeBron would take over and ruin the franchise.

A grade douche.

I always thought Amare had a huge ego but overlooked it as long as he does what he's suppose to on the court to get us wins. Hell, I even overlooked his poor rebounding as long as he scores with great efficiency. James' ego would make Amare's ego look microscopic, but James can flat out get it done on the court. I think Gentry's system would seriously turn Lebron into a 35/8/12 guy, the shooters, the cutters, the pace and the spacing would maximise Lebron's talent. This is why I would trade for Lebron, because I think we can get it to work which is why I could overlook his douchbaggery. Gentry is the perfect coach for him (a player's coach) and we'll be running the perfect system for Lebron (SSOL with defense).

There is a difference in lapse of judgment and poor behavior. One is momentary, one is ongoing.
LeWrong displays a disturbing level arrogance and narcissism in his daily behavior. Its documented.

The player I mentioned earlier has been suspended by the NBA three separate times in his career for breaking the law---At what point does something become "on-going"? What, it has to happen every single day??

The point of my original post is that I don't care that LeBron is a whiner, or a baby, or a dbag in general. I also don't care that Jrich drinks too much, drives too fast, and roughs up his women when they cheat on him. I just don't care. LeBron is going to be a top 2 NBA player for the next several years, and I'd trade anyone on this roster for him.

You want to be a LePrawn apologist go ahead... I certainly didn't crucify him, or was that just another exaggerated comment to make a point ? I merely said the more you read about him, his actions and the way he treats people, the bigger jerk he becomes. JRich may be a dumbass, but James is a D-Bag.... There is no denying that.

Yes and on-going means every day. 3 unrelated infractions over 8 yrs hardly displays a pattern.

Miami can keep the self anointed one... its a fantasy thread anyway.

Saying you crucified LeBron is as much of an exaggeration as you saying I'm a "LePrawn apologist" :wink:

The fact of the matter is that I'm not an apologist at all; I fully recognize and acknoledge that LeBron is a whiner, a dbag, not a nice person, etc...I've said that multiple times in this thread. I simply don't care about those flaws in his personality, because he's that good.

I'm not saying LeBron is the end-all-be-all, either. I'd probably take KD or Dwight over James.

I heard Durant parked the wrong direction down a two-way street outside of his friend's house one time. Got a ticket.
