    Gil decided to come with facts. Kobe did the same thing the only difference is Kobe had owners willing to spend money so when he threatened to leave if they didn’t get better pieces Jerry buss went and made moves. The owner of the Cavs said “nah win with verajao, Eric snow and ira newble” 😂

Everybody that was somebody before they got with LeBron had to adjust their games, (Bosh I believe was the first to admit this) and in doing so their numbers suffered. Notice how every time he loses its somebody else's fault or he needs more help.

Once with that first bulls championship team and a second time with the second bulls championship team when MJ came back. The first 3 peat team and second 3 peat time were totally different with MJ and Pip being the only holdovers. Krause flipped Oakley for Cartwright. Flipped olden poly nice for pippen. Got grant and pippen in the same draft. Drafted Kukoc and convinced him to come to the states. Traded Stacy King for Longley and traded Will Perdue for Rodman. Like I said without Krause and Reinsdorf properly running the bulls organization MJ would have won nothing.

    Gianni’s didn’t have “a big 3”, hell Kawhi didn’t have one in Toronto either, the Celtics put 3 guys near the end of their careers together, throughout that year the talk was “can the Celtics keep up this pace and still have enough come playoff time?!” Obviously LeBron needed help, but there’s a difference between help and just grouping together with other top 5-10 players and then on top of it still losing to the Mavs who also didn’t have a “big 3!” Wade got hurt and LeBron ran back to Cleveland to play with Kyrie and Love, again teaming up with top 5 - 10 players. Then he leaves there and joins AD who was probably at that time a top 3 player. The league was boring as hell when KD went to GSW, you knew before the season started it was going to be a Cleveland/GSW finals and even then the league stepped in to help LeBron get a ring when they suspended Draymon Green!

The Mavericks had another HOF on their team, Jason Kidd, but after the Nets Kidd where he didn’t even average 8pts a game.

They only had a couple million remaining and Gil says, "What, you not gonna spend no money?" and dropping names like Yao, Wade, Melo, as if they had the room to sign them. Fact is Lebron wanted Shaq so management signed him. He wanted old ass Jamison, so management got him. He wanted Mo Williams, so management got him. THAT'S what put them over the cap and it was all done to satisfy Lebron. It didn't work so Lebron bounced on the roster that was covered with his fingerprints. Stop this revisionist crap.

    I’m not a LeBron fan but I’ve been trying to tell people this for YEARS. LeBron was basically Cleveland’s cash cow and they never tried to improve his situation because they thought he’d be the golden goose forever. Then LeBron did what was best for his career. Miami is a big market team, a lot of money is there but that’s just the icing on the cake aside from winning. I’ve seen another comment here mentioning this but Kobe also had a similar situation but difference is, Lakers were willing to get who he needs. Kobe told the Lakers that if they don’t get him the pieces he needs, he’ll walk and that’s a very logical stance. Difference between these two teams is that one of them was willing to risk assets to get what their franchise player needed.
