Yes, you did. I bolded it earlier. You put it in quotes so perhaps you were going off what others were calling him but I haven't seen anyone calling him the next Lebron.SportsAndLady;1636813 wrote:I did? lol you're an idiot man.

He's most certainly the next Kobe as he's about to be carried to multiple championships by a better player.robj55;1636817 wrote:Yes, you did. I bolded it earlier. You put it in quotes so perhaps you were going off what others were calling him but I haven't seen anyone calling him the next Lebron.

Just because people say the next Lebron doesn't mean the exact replica of Lebron. How is that difficult to understand? "The next Lebron" could just mean the best player in the NBA which he definitely has a chance to become.robj55;1636817 wrote:Yes, you did. I bolded it earlier.

So, what the fuck are you arguing? Geezus, let's move on. I don't think the Cavs make the deal for Love. If it happens, it would be right before/during training camp, or right before the trade deadline. Either way, I see Love's value going down. He is not worth a #1 overall pick (not named Bennet), sorry.robj55;1636827 wrote:I get that.

One of the front page articles on ESPN is discussing what KD will do in 2016. ESPN continues to raise the bar for pile of shit journalism.

Apparently robj knows better though.Several suitors are pursuing Love, but none holds a chip as enticing as Wiggins, whose raw ability has drawn comparisons with James.

Word:
Love trade for Bennett and Wiggins would be a done deal if he had promised to committee to a long term deal (he wouldnt). They are still trying. However, it's not Lebron who is forcing it through, it's Gilbert. Blatt likes Wiggins, Lebron doesn't really have much of an opinion, although he said he wouldn't mind playing with Love (he hasn't talked to him), but it's really Gilbert who is forcing it through.

Didn't Love come out and say he would sign a long term deal with Cleveland? I think maybe Love doesn't want to go to Cleveland unless they keep Wiggins.ohiobucks1;1636871 wrote:Word:

When Cleveland got Lebron, Love came out and said he would sign an extension there.sleeper;1636873 wrote:Didn't Love come out and say he would sign a long term deal with Cleveland? I think maybe Love doesn't want to go to Cleveland unless they keep Wiggins.
Then yesterday reports said he wouldn't sign an extension anywhere because he wants to hit the FA market next year.
So who knows

I dont care what is coming out in the media. Everything I was told today came out of Lebron's mouth.

I don't give up Wiggins if I am Cleveland. Offer them all the 1st rounders or Bennett/Waiters or whatever, but hold on to Wiggy.

I understand that, but who the fuck comes on the OC and lies about sources? Everything I say is legit right from one or two important peoples mouths. This rumor is legit from Lebron himself. I don't know how to prove it besides to tell you i'm not a fuck who would lie about that haha

Not that he isn't Lebron, but that he isn't the next Lebron, That he won't be that good. I've already said I think he will be excellent but Lebron is a once in a limetime talent, Wiggins is not.like_that;1636829 wrote:So, what the fuck are you arguing? Geezus, let's move on.

There is a huge difference between raw potential and ability. People rave over Wiggins and his potential and athleticism but there are many unknowns about his game and areas to improve. Lebron James was a sure fire superstar the instant he stepped onto an NBA floor.sleeper;1636848 wrote:From the article:
