1) the GOAT doesn't need a 'coach'

2) if he did, he obviously doesn't want a white one

Lebron is such a fricking cancer to any team he's on

Spo called Lebron out for dogging it early on. Lebron's people didn't like it and started putting out rumors about spo and bron getting in shouting matches. Pat Riley told bron to STFU and play. Cleveland would never do that. Bron runs the show. It's pretty pathetic but then again, Cleveland

In all fairness, Spo is not nearly good enough nor was Blatt. Lebron deserves better coaching. Wade is the reason Pat didn't coach them, though, not Lebron, not Pat, not the owners. Wade is the reason.

Ha. I was just thinking Gilbert should say frick it, and trade him. Woj reported early last year about the Mark Jackson plan, and I got killed on here then for saying that Gilbert is probably already rolling his eyes over how Bron's crew is acting ("Bron is going to bring him a championship...he instantly makes the franchise worth hundreds of millions more, etc, etc). Side note -- a friend of mine says he knows someone who is tight with Gilbert and that Gilbert got him to come back by promising ownership interest post-career.

Lue could be a good coach a few years down the line.

At this point in their careers, though, Blatt has forgotten more about basketball strategy than either Lebron or Lue currently knows.

Lebron doesn't "deserve" better coaching. His coaches deserve more respect.

Wade being unselfish is what made that 4 year run happen with Bron. Bron doesn't have that in Cleveland. He has Love and Kyrie. Good luck whipping them into shape with Tyron Lue

I don't think Lebron is going to leave Cleveland. He can dictate a lot of things here. That way he and his agent will be able to call the shots when he comes to the end of his career.

I agree with this. Cavs have an attitude problem that wasn't present in Miami.

The heatles had a great "let's prove the haters wrong" us against the world attitude. Wade, bosh, allen, birdman, etc had a championship attitude. All for the greater goal.

This Cleveland team with Kyrie, Love, JR, this iteration of Bron, etc. seem like a group of guys who all want to get theirs and if winning a ring happens then that's icing on the top.

And maybe this is partly on Bron, but I think Thompson's new contract is a perfect example. He demanded a way above market (imo) contract to stay in Cle. He plays decent defense and is a great rebounder, but he told Cle that he wanted a contract fitting of a high caliber two way player and wouldn't sign for less.

Yeah, I'm a LeBron fanboy but these reports are not very flattering.

I am a big Bron fan as well, but this has been a terrible week for him.

If they don't win a championship sometime in the next 3 years, a lot of that is on Bron the GM.
