They come out slow and allow the opponent to get control of the game and all too often like last night these teams start hitting shots with little pressure and play like they've been in the finals.Not saying the bench isn't terrible, but in this game if LeBron and the rest of the starters played with the same intensity in the 1st quarter that they did in the 4th quarter, they wouldn't have needed to play in the 4th quarter and he'd have played 30some minutes.
Only gonna listen to his bitching about organizational failure when he starts playing hard. Otherwise, boo hoo, its a team and player failure too.
Solution: take a pay cut so the team can afford depth. Nothing cracks me up more than the highest paid player in a salary capped league complaining the team is "top heavy."Averaging the most minutes in the NBA at the age of 32. At some point fatigue is going to kick in.
The best player on the planet shouldn't have to take a pay cut. LeBron is worth more to this team than the entire payroll combined.Solution: take a pay cut so the team can afford depth.

No shit.
In your opinion, what's the ideal roster around LeBron?

Your first sentence isn't based in any reality in existence. "His sheer presence makes him the best Cavs player on the court." Besides being overly sycophantic, it isn't close to true. Did you watch the game tonight? He wasn't in Kyrie Irvings stratosphere. And that was the real, tangible LeBron. Not just his "presence."
And that's been happening more and more recently. He isn't the best Cavs player every single night by merely existing, and his shitty play tonight cost the team.
That's fine. But then don't complain about the team being top heavy. There's a salary cap. He knows this.The best player on the planet shouldn't have to take a pay cut. LeBron is worth more to this team than the entire payroll combined.
Dear God.His presence in the basketball court, as in playing for the Cavs. And I said almost without exception, of course there are a couple of games in a season this isn't so. Kyrie will have a couple (and Love maybe 1) offensive explosions that will barely surpass LeBron's impact on the court.
But even with a pay cut we would've been over the cap so it wouldn't have affected how much we could offer free agentsThat's fine. But then don't complain about the team being top heavy. There's a salary cap. He knows this.

Then the time to speak up was in the summer. My thing is this. I don't like the hypocritical approach of complaining the front office isn't doing all it can when you aren't doing all you can.But even with a pay cut we would've been over the cap so it wouldn't have affected how much we could offer free agents
LeBron just made a power play. He basically said 'get something done and do it now'
Would I prefer he did it behind closed doors? Yes. But we don't know if he has tried that and it resulted in nothing.
LeBron is worth the luxury tax Dan is paying. And he's worth the extra 30 million it would cost to bring in another 5 million in salary
You've missed the point entirely. There exists in the NBA a SALARY CAP. As in, there are rules that prevent a team from just spending into oblivion based on the teams total salary. So that little comparison doesn't fly and for him to basically say "just do something" is him playing dumb.Such a bullshit request. He's worth the money he makes on this team.
I don't know what you do for a living.. but if you feel you are swamped at work would you cut lets say 1/4 of your pay so they can add a body to ease your work load?
