Lebron already making excuse for not winning next year !

[tankwatch1]

It looks like Lebron is already trying to make an excuse for not winning next year. Here is the statement that separates Lebron from Jordan and Kobe. " I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010". Listen if I know one thing Las Vegas gives a true indication of how good a team is. Cleveland has been made the 3/1 favorite to win the NBA Championship next year. The eastern conference is terrible and if Chicago does not get Carmelo Anthony, it's a cake walk to the finals next year for the Cavs. Obviously the Cavs will get other players now taking less money just to win a title and play with Lebron.

I hate how Lebron already is trying to not put pressure on himself to win next year. He is the best player in the world with a free pass to the finals next year. It's not a given the western conference champion will be better than the Cavs when all the moves are made.

Jordan and Kobe Bryant would never make a statement trying to concede next year. I'm not a huge Carmelo Anthony fan, but I want the Cavs to have some resistance next year in the east. If the Cavs just get to the finals next year Lebron can say it was a successful year. I'm not buying it. The east is brutal, just like this year when the Heat had no resistance for making the finals.

The difference is that Kobe would say "yeah, we're gonna win a chip next year". Then when he fails to make the playoffs, he'd throw everybody under the bus from the teammates to the towel boys and demand a trade while saying that he had nothing to do with it and fail to mention his shooting 24% from the field.

Take it to the cavs board.
