If Philly wants Lebron to come they need the Cavs to lose in the first or second round

More shooters than any team in the entire playoffs.Exactly
Sixers were the #1 rebounding team in the league, #1 scoring team in the playoffs and have possibly more shooters than any team in the entire playoffs and they’ve already beat them the last two times they’ve played them with and without Embiid.
If the Cavs play Philly in the ECF they will lose.

Partially his fault but primarily bad coaching and management from the front office.
Also his teammates haven't played well.

I think if that pacers deal would have got done he would have stayed in cleveland for another year. But they botched that kyrie trade so bad.

A foul that blatant isn’t ever going to be ignored. They were tangled and fell to the ground. A fight could have ensued.
Lebron is gonna leave his city (again) so he can play for a team that he has no leverage on in his 16th season in the league. I’m sure comfort plays just as much of a factor as winning. Lebron seems comfortable bending an organization to his liking. He’s not getting that anywhere else. Any team Lebron plays on is gonna be Lebron and some random guys. He’s kinda sorta, the best player in basketball.

Lebby wouldn't have to do as much if he and Lue utilized Kevin Love better.
No reason Kevin Love shouldn't be an integral part of the offense instead of just a "guy".
Love should be getting 15+ shots a game on a nightly basis.
At least Kevin Love will be freed when Bron leaves.

What if he wants to shatter some unfathamoble all time records.
And Idk who wouldn't care about being maybe the first and only player in history to be in reach of Kareem's points record.
Devils advocate on playing high minutes. As an athlete no one knows what LeBron is capable of or know what high minutes mean to him.

its happens . usually top teams only have a 3-4 year window /run before you done and a change is needed/window is closed
. lakers bench was trash at the end of they early 00s run. the warriors will be going through the same thing. miami went through it by the end of they finals lost right before lebron left and now the cavs are going through it .
they have the highest payroll in the nba. two stars and good role players is usually what has gotten it done until these super teams came into play. hell warriors in 15 were that. a case can be made they only had one real star
. cavs shouldnt be struggling to get out the first round but here we are. the only team i see that should be on the cavs level in the east is the sixers.

Looking at the shenanigans in the East so far. Philly looking like the best team in the East.
Celtics - No Myrie
Raptors - Raptors gonna Raptor
Cavs - Team is Jekyll and Hyde; never know what you're gonna get from them on game to game basis
Anything less than an ECF appearance from them would be a disappointment.

Or if they ran a damn offense. Every year it's the same ****. Lebron driving to the lane and finding and open man, a pick and roll, or a guy coming off a screen for a three. There is so much God damn standing around it is ridiculous. I think that is partially why the Cavs bench is always bad once lebron goes out because they dont run very good sets.

You guys giving LeBron a hard time for the Cavs current roster issues need to look at it from a different perspective. If it weren't for LeBron and the moves that he and a former GM made , the Cleveland Cavaliers would have never sniffed a championship.
Yeah that Tristan Thompson deal looks really bad now but they probably wouldn't have won the championship in 2016 without him so in my eyes it's still worth it.
So right now they're capped out, have very little roster flexibility but all of those moves were necessary to win that 2016 title. There's not a single Cavs fan that were trade roster flexibility and sustainability for that 2016 championship.

Lmao it’s like every season Lebron has to remind people who he is. Lebron can play high minutes because he’s been conditioned to do so. That 2015 finals series put him on another level physically. He legit could average 40 in a series if he really wanted to

Or looking at it realistically if Draymond didn't get suspended they get washed in 5 and the whole thing is disbanded anyway.

More shooters than any team in the entire playoffs.
What are you laughing at like that’s some absurd thing to say? Who has more legitimate three point threats in their normal rotation than Redick, Belinelli, Dario, Ilyasova and Covington while also having a center that shoots threes?
