Their near playoffs wins say otherwise. I mean if Stern didn't have that stupid bench rule they probably would have. Add in LeBron and who knows how much they could win.

plus with lebron you know he's going to get his signature blocks each game and he's too prideful to let opponents go off against him and his team.

I realize that, i was just addressing the homer arguement that was going on.
Ive got no beef with you man, ive enjoyed reading your posts for a long time now.
Im an LA homer and everyone knows that. Im not going to change just because someone doesnt like it, and neither will you so whatever.
But i agree with the face that D'antoni's offense would be so much scarier with a guy like Lebron. People talk about the defense and what not, i think lebron wont change the way he plays defense just cuz hes playing in that system. Hes a freak on the defensive side.

Also the supporting cast around Phoenix's big 2 was always much better than what New York is going to have.

This isn't horseshoes, nor is it hand grenades.
You can pull revisionist history and use all the "what if" scenarios you want, D' Antoni's schemes are a liability in the playoffs.

I wanted the Wiz to take on Beasley's contract for free since the Heat are offering it for nothing, but even if we can get him for free it's not worth taking on Beasley if it means division foes the Heat get LeBron.

How so? I don't understand why they are a liability. Those Suns teams were good enough to win rings, **** just didn't go their way and they lost. They were plenty good enough.

D'Antoni doesn't teach defense, but he doesn't instruct his players to not play it. LeBron is already one of the top defenders at his position and probably one of the best defenders he's ever coached.

I have come to the conclusion that LeBron needs to go to the Nets. Why?
- Cleveland is a bunch of desperate crybabies
- He would **** up **** in Miami, it's Wade's team
- **** the Knicks
- he wouldn't fit in Chicago
Go get him, Nets!

Yup, as I previously said, I would go to the Nets if I were him.

Him and Rose do the same thing. I really wanted to see Stoudamire or Bosh go to Chicago. Just like I would not wanted to have seen Wade go to Chicago.

I think Russell Westbrook will be there one day. But he'll also probably become one of those players that wants to leave to be his own man.

the fact that we don't know if Bosh is going to Miami in a sign and trade or as a free agent leads me to believe that Lebron is on his way.
