@RimRunna23g5h Imagine you're a Bulls fan in '87. You got a superstar, but your 2nd best player is Charles Oakley. They were losing to the Celtics dynasty team in the 1st rd. And the only help the Bulls mgmt gave MJ were 2 ROOKIES! (Pip & Grant). Would u suddenly say they're a contender?
@ApexJonesHACKED Lets be real. No championship aspiring teams would sign him even if offered to play for half of his salary with the lakers.
Philly would've not have signed lebron if he didnt accept a veteran minimum. They dont actually need him basketball wise. They just got him for attention.
@RJP7570@HawkEmDownChris LOL there's actually no difference between those expansion teams vs. today's terrible teams who are deliberately TANKING! π€£
@Rt57106680@JrTabansi You can make up stories all u want, but the bottomline is the dude STAYED while your king abandoned his team not once, not twice, not 3 times, but FOUR times!
@TheTruth8240 Him and LeMedia would not allow him to be the "4th option". Maxey and Edgecomb's stats would be sacrificed. Or Embiid would be more of a spot up shooter or be negotiated to sit more games so the "king" can pad his stats.
@ApexJonesHACKED I kinda laugh when he said he took a sacrifice. The dude is a billionare and went to the most talented team in the eastern conference to ring chaseπ
@ApexJonesHACKED Yup, they were saying it wouldn't matter bec. KD and Steph were chokers. They doubled down after the cavs beat GSW in christmas day. Then 2 sweeps later, they were calling that GSW the greatest team of all time π€£
@BakersReporxtz@Hoopss Yeah lets compare a dying framchise w/o an allstar vs a playoff team with 3 all stars, including a former league mvp and finals MVP. π
@lil_burner06@MelitaSon_ Kobe from 2010-2013 was still averaging 27 ppg. He was still being seleced as an all star, an all nba player and all nba defensive team until he suffered a career changing achilles injury in 2013. If got Wade, Bosh, Allen, and veteran role players, they would definitely 3 peated!
