That was the beginning of the end of a proper rebuild. You guys traded away Randle half way through to make room, broke up the young core of Kuzma Ingram Randle Ball as the main guys to bring a patchwork of randoms and Lebron to come just to make money & pretend it’s for winning. Now Ball has to share minutes, Kuzma has to share minutes, no real chemistry in the team and Lebron is clearly not that interested in winning a chip, just “solid efforts,” as expected at the end.. in summary, you sold out your youth and sold out the rebuild of the franchise. Could have had all your drafts pics grow with each other and have something special.

Mate every young stud is still here except for Randle, the oldest one of them, about to be 24, and was going to need a max contract to stay.
Ingram just turned 21 2 months ago. Lonzo turned 21 a week ago. Kuzma turned 23 3 months ago, Hart turns 24 in March.
You act like we got rid of everyone rofl
Just chill.

Rondo 1 year deal. KCP 1 year deal. Lance 1 year deal. Beasley 1 year deal. We've got 8 guys signed next season, total of 67 mil, with Lebron at 37 of those. Meaning 30 mil between Kuzma, Ingram, Lonzo and our other low rookies rofl
We're SET.

He ain't getting into foul trouble that often tho
Our two most recent losses to Minny and Spurs, he had 3 and 4 fouls and could've easily gotten more minutes.



Alright last game he got 2 fouls in 10 secs and then had to sit, maybe the box score fouls don't look bad. Reason his minutes are low is because he get these dumb fouls in seconds from a previous one and he has to sit.

Tyson Chandler is a HUGE pick up for us, he will play the back up role to McGee. Tyson and Rondo can play the pick and roll for the 2nd unit.

You stunted their growth and put them on the back burner the minute you got Lebron here. The minute you traded all Randle away and made bunch of room for cap is when your youngsters knew that they are subjugated to second fiddle minimum. Let’s hope that these next few years with Lebron y’all don’t just go on and get frustrated and sel them out more or even yet, trade em.

Stunted their growth? How the fuk is playing with the best player on the planet stunting our young cores growth. LBJs is the most unselfish player. Practicing every day with LBJs is going to stunt their growth?

Next year we have enough cap space to sign another super star to a max contract. Losing Randle was a step in this plan that Magic Johnson had. Just like giving the nets DLo to clear Mosgov off the books to get LBJ.

Anyone would give up DLo and Randle to get LBJs and Kawhi/Buter/KD. Yes we will get someone next year.

Your acting like signing veteran super stars is a bad thing? I don't want to be the Nuggets. Promising young core who have a hard time making playoffs and get bounced right away.

Sign another superstar instead of bread your own.. smh... how do you not see what I’m talking about.. it’s 100 percent stunts their growth bringing in a bunch a vets to take their minutes and Lebron to take the reigns COMPLETELY & now you want to bring another superstar too lmao.. might as well get rid of Kuzma and ingram or just relegate them to re players for eternity.. yikes.. from being your future to being maybe part of a supporting cast.. They were suppose to be your Embiid, your simmons, your Curry, your homegrown draft picks, YOUR future..

The problem with the crux of your argument is you’re banking on these young studs having no future.

Can you share your crystal ball?

LBJs signed for 3-4 years a player option, Ball just turned 21, BI is like 22, hart 23-24, Kuz 24. They are going to be young as hell when LBJ is gone. They are going to have all this experience with LBJs, figure out his daily routine, pick apart his brain, really just digest basketball as a whole because LBJs is really smart about basketball.

This is a Business right, when the Best player on the Planet is a FA, you have to try and get him. I don't get how you don't realize that playing with LBJs makes everyone around him better. Look at that Cavs team right now they are all bums now.

Am I curious how this team would have turned out if we didn't get LBJs, of course, it would be cool to see how far this team could go. When you get LBJs, everything changes and I'm okay with it because I truly think this is the best move. LBJs will teach these young kids everything he knows.
