You said 12 teams wanted him
I didn't say that, I said that his agent said he was contacted by 10 to 12 teams regarding Lebron.

Notice it went from a 12 team arms race to him going to Phili was the plan the whole time?
This is the 3rd or 4th time you've lied about me saying it was an "arms race" and I never said going to Philly was the plan the whole time. I said the opposite.

You just keep jumping to the next line of bullshite when the last one runs out.
I thought you said I've been making the same argument. Seems like I'm still on the same line of bullshite.
quote:
You just keep jumping to the next line of bullshite when the last one runs out. It’s amazing how dishonest you are.
When you call everyone who disagrees with you dishonest or a liar, it no longer carries any weight.

More gaslighting
You’re still making the same argument. There’s no semantics
Lmao

You don't know what semantics means

He arrived first so there’s no way Lebron took less to make room for Brown. Are you retarded
Holy frick. He took the maximum amount of money the sixers could offer him. It was widely reported the sixers were not an option for lebron until after the Brown trade. Lebron literally could not have signed for more money with the sixers remaining below the second apron. The sixers had to fricking waive a guy to make cap room to sign him.
quote:
Totally different from what you said earlier and irrelevant but I just expect this kind of thing from you at this point.
Totally irrelevant? You were the one who brought up his salary as justification for your take that lebron sucks. And it's not really different, you tried to gotcha me with semantics re. "opening the door."
quote:
Dude he signed a month after Brown for the 3rd time. He didn’t take less so they could sign a guy who was already signed.
For the third time Brown was traded not signed. My point is that he was only interested in the sixers after the Brown trade and, because his main concern at this point in his career is winning championships, he signed with them because he thought they could compete and he took the literal most amount of money the sixers could offer him. You're entire premise presupposes that Lebron's only consideration in free agency was how much money he could get regardless of the team.
For someone who accused me of trying to "gotcha" and having "Tiktok brain" you sure seem oughly caught up on this immaterial detail instead of the underlying premise of this entire conversation.

You are as posted but I can see you’re emotional and it’s causing you to embellish. I’ll never understand that sort of thing
I'm not embellishing anything. I'm assuming you mean the Jaylen Brown thing? It was a bad choice of words perhaps "allow" instead of "opening the door" would have been better.
quote:
- you’ve admitted stats aren’t the only standard for evaluation
I agree, but they are a part no? I just fail to see how a guy averaging 21-6-7 "can't play a lick"
quote:
- when confronted with the fact that nobody wanted him you invented a phony arms race
Totally false. 1. I never said it was an arms race, quite the contrary I hypothesized that his main driving factor for signing wherever he would sign was his ability to play on a contender. 2. His agent said that over a third of the NBA contacted him about Lebron. I don't know what else to tell you. Players signing lesser deals to play for a contender is not a new thing, it's happened for years across all professional sports with a salary cap. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that is what happened here.
quote:
- when confronted with the fact that all he could get was the vet minimum you invented another story that was also contrary to the facts.
Once again, this argument that lebron "couldn't" get more than the vet minimum is not based in reality and assumes that Lebron was just looking to go to the highest bidder. Do you honestly think Lebron would have signed with say the pelicans, or bucks, or nets, etc. for more money? Contenders have the best players. The best players cost more money. More money spent = less money to sign free agents.
quote:
Facts you didn’t know about BTW which proves you’re making stuff up and hoping someone will buy it
I'm not making anything up. I'm not hoping anybody buys anything, I mean, I'm obviously not going to change your mind.
quote:
Argument fails
My argument only "fails" because you refuse to recognize statistics. You've offered nothing other than your personal opinion to back up your claim.
quote:
Way to leave out 90% of the discussion. Clownish
What's clownish is your inability to support your original argument that Lebron can't play a lick. I'd love to see some evidence other than your opinion.
quote:
Says the guy who is just making up shite and hoping something sticks.
You said Lebron can't play a lick and you're reasoning was he doesn't draw double teams and he's one of the worst defenders in the NBA. When confronted with evidence to the contrary, you said "statistics are fallacies." And I'm the one making shite up?
No self awareness and hypocritical.
quote:
Lmao, you’ll say anything, he’s never once taken less money prior to this FA cycle.
The second apron has only existed for 2 years at this point. You're not very good at math are you?
quote:
He’s making the veteran minimum of 3.8 mil per year for a 10+ season vet but yea, there was a 12 team arms race for Lebron.
Have you ever stopped to consider that the literal billionaire who has chased rings on super teams his entire career wasn't really worried about the salary and was moreso looking to win another championship on his way out? Thus opening the door for the sixers to trade for Jaylen Brown and assemble the starting 5 they currently have in place?
quote:
The numbers didn’t make him a sought after free agent did they?
His agent said he was approached by 12 teams in free agency.

If stats were the only standard in sports you could predict games at a 100% rate.
I never said they were the only standard, because they're not. I'm just saying they may be a better indicator of quality play than "muh he doesn't draw double teams." I mean come the frick on.

You must be a billionaire from gambling.
You must be the greatest NBA basketball coach of all time considering you're ability to evaluate players more accurately than objective numbers.
quote:
3 turnovers per game not 1.5
You're correct, but the point still stands. Want to guess the only other player in the NBA last year who put up 21-6-7 on 50% from the field? Nikola Jokic.
quote:
I didn’t count, did you?
No, watched a few but not a ton. The difference is I'm not the one dismissing a season's worth of stats because I judge players on some sort of arbitrary standard.

I tend to judge players on their value relative to winning games.
How many Lakers games did you watch last year?

Being generous he’s a bottom 5 defender

Dude averaged 21-6-7 on 1.5 turnovers and 51% from the field last year. You can hate the player....
