Huh? What did I say? It's asinine to not give OB credit.

OB kind of laid out that letter for us months and months ago. He even hinted it was possible BEFORE the season started. To not give him credit is ridiculous, imo. It wasnt shit spewed against the wall. Its pretty clear it was info coming from Maverick and LeBrons boys.

It's not that he called LBJ coming back, it's that he came to that conclusion using LRMR sources that were disregarded on here.

Oh okay gotcha now, my bad I forgot about the reverse jinx. I guess my point still stands though that I think it's ridiculous you won't give OB (or at least his sources) credit.

Yeah, let's not act like firing Mike Brown, getting the #1 pick, and the Heat losing in the finals had nothing to do with it.

You really think he wasnt coming to the Cavs no matter what? So, we are not ignoring word for word what LBJ himself is saying?

Sure, he might be lying. But, come on.

Right. It was a perfect storm of his people reaching out early enough to get the wheels spinning, Heat looking not only beatable but unsustainable, and Cavs' situation very lucky and fluid (I mean 3/4 #1's?).

Who cares though, WE HAVE LEBRON AHHHHHHHHHH

I don't think you can unequivocally say one or or another what he would have done, it's somewhere in between. JMO

I would say 0% chance LeBron leaves instead of going for 4 straight, yes. I also haven't seen a single quote of him saying he was coming back "no matter what".

I agree. But I will give someone the benefit of the doubt next time when their "scenario" played out about 100% to what he predicted 6 months ago.

Reps for acknowledging a reverse jinx.

I was chest thumping for sure. But it was mostly because I have been drunk for the last 48 hours due to sheer happiness. Nothing was guaranteed when it came to Lebron, but I certainly didnt think Maverick would lie to us, he had said he genuinely has wanted to come back for a while.


Regardless. Now it's a matter of getting Love without giving up Wiggins.

Had nothing to do with these. Lebron was coming home regardless. Read the essay...he listed the reasons

I give OB credit, but I definitely remember him saying this past season that the chances of Bron coming back weren't looking good. I seem to remember the storyline being: He's interested-> more than likely not going to happen -> he's interested.

Deng rumored to be favoring Miami. We should get their first round pick next year, as they are definitely a playoff team.

Everything I read talks about us having 3 1st round picks next year. Outside of their own and Miami's, who else's do we have the rights to??

Memphis' protected 1-5 and 15-20. Gotta root for Memphis to miss the playoffs and not win the lottery.

Here's a comprehensive list of teams and their future picks

6th, 14th, and 30th picks sounds about right.
