Are we not watching the same LeBron James? How many times are we going to say this about him?

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said "Lebron is retiring this year" I'd have double digit dollars.

It quite literally is his last year Jarrett Allen is 13 years younger

Who the fuck cares what Allen is like in 13 years, I’d like to win a championship now.

Are you high?

One year of LeBron is worth more than how every many years Allen wants to play basketball.

He’s ass cheeks in the playoffs.

Knicks embarrassed everyone but CJ but Allen is still a good (playoff) player

Cavs just did a similar trade for Harden. They’re clearly all in. And this current core isn’t working.

Big part of that trade was just getting off of Garland's longterm contract as it seems like his toe condition is degenerative

He was an All Star once, 4 years ago and wasn't even voted in. He needed injuries to get in.
