I gather he’s a junior in high school.

Unless the NBA and NCAA stop the mutually agreed upon one-and-done rule, then that means LeBron plays at least four more seasons.

That will mostly just depend on psyche for him.

I know sometimes we see lame fucks posting shit about players “only working 82 days a year,” but the reality is it’s a year-round job. Maybe a week off from all basketball activity during the summer. No self-respecting person only has a week of PTO for the entire year in real life.

He’d have to be OK accepting averaging 10 PPG and accepting he’ll never play a meaningful game again. I know the Lakers just made the WCF two seasons ago, but they are WORSE with no avenue to improve.

Congrats!

You just made the dumbest post I’ve ever seen on Reddit!

My first thought was “LMAO”

But, I mean, it is the Clippers. Moving into their own arena.

Need something to hang beside the “police presence” banner.

Are the Cavs - in literally any way you can think of - a Finals contender? No. Lol.

Will they end up with 45-49 wins and possibly get homecourt in the first round? I think that’s a fair.

But, just did a quick Google search. The top link had over/unders from six different sites. Of the five that listed Cleveland (didn’t care enough to read why they or other teams weren’t available on all six sites,) four had the Cavs at 48.5 wins. The other at 52.5 wins.

I’d sooner bet my left nut that I wake up at exactly 4am, 48 minutes and 48 seconds tomorrow morning than bet the over on the Cavs at 52.5.

48.5 is much more realistic, but as I think 49 wins is the most optimistic of scenarios, betting over on 48.5 means I’m as high on the Cavs as any rational person that watches basketball.

Even if the Cavs are healthier this year, I think the East will be much stronger.

Celtics finished first last year and likely finish with 60+ wins again.

Knicks were second in the East then got WAY better.

Bucks dragged their ass to finish the season and finished third. I think they will be better.

Then Cavs at four.

Magic, Pacers and Sixers were next and all finished one game worse than CLE. All will be better than last season.

Then there were the Heat. Finished 8th - two whole games behind CLE.

Hell, the more I type and think, the more I think CLE could overall be better this upcoming season and finish with fewer wins

As currently constructed, not many. Maybe 2-3 games strictly based on Wemby developing more.

It’s usually a few seasons into their career where even the all-timers start making their teams be serious.

And the Spurs roster is just awful. This isn’t like when they tanked for Duncan.

They got the #1 pick and Wemby because they just fucking suck.

I don’t see how adding CP3 helps anything on the court. He might help Wemby with prep, but can or should he play serious minutes for a serious team at this point in his career? No.
