Yeah, I get it, Wade is better than Shaq in his prime. Is that it? If LeBron wants to finally play with a great individual player and it is easily possible, why wouldn't he do it? You think Kobe would have said "NO" to a Odom for Wade swap back when the Lakers didn't have Gasol?
Quote from: 7even on July 13, 2010, 03:47:42 AMOne indication that Wade and the Heat respect LeBron's greatness is how Wade gets treated like a new player. He's everywhere with them, holding jerseys and shit as if he was new like them. If the Heat was designed to be "his" team, he'd sit more in the background, acting as if he brought them niggas onto his team. Technically, the Heat was just the only team that was able to sign ALL 3 of them and still pay them nicely with low taxes while having a guy who knows how to win rings and play dirty in Pat Riley. That's why they went there, not because Wade is the man.LOL...you don't get it, do you?...LeBron finally has someone to defer to, someone who would rather have the ball in his hands in the final minutes, under pressure, someone who would cherish that moment way more than he does. Wade is not a Pau Gasol or a Manu Ginobli, he's a franchise player who you can build a team around...By LeBron agreeing to join forces with Wade, it takes a hell of a lot of pressure off of him to lead the way, and LeBron's leadership has been questioned throughout his career.. this wasn't a way to prove the doubters wrong about that. His willingness to admit that he can't be the sole go-to-guy pretty much just sums up what I (and many other basketball heads) have been saying about him all along...the LeBron apologists just couldn't see it for what it was back then, because you were "witnesses" (LOL) to the most overhyped individual athlete to ever play the game. He's a stat-machine, and that's where it ends...PeACe

He had an ok game against the Spurs tonight with 18 points. But the Lakers summer league squad is ass. 0-5.

All the Summer League is looking at individual talent. The teams dont even really practice together more then a week. But there are players that a basketball fan would pay attention to. Alonzo Gee for us is a good example...and Temple. The Lakers squad just hasnt looked that good from the shit Im seeing. Having a great Summer League record is meaningless. But having some decent talent out there does matter.

But having some decent talent out there does matter.I think the fact that LA has given up so many first round picks and has been among the lead leaders in record is the primary reason they're doing so badly. Aside from Farmar, I don't even remember any players they've drafted making the team since they picked up Bynum.
