Where Lebron goes will be the story of the NBA offseason. I think he goes to Philly. That team's good now, imagine Lebron being added to the team, that team would be scary with Lebron.

LeBron is many things, but he doesn't make coaching decisions.

You really believe that? :dunno:

It fits his narrative of leaving when the going gets tough just to join two other stars.

You really believe that while he's out there playing pretty much the entire game most nights, trying to will his team to victory, that he is also making personnel and strategic coaching decisions?

LeBron does a lot of things with regard to roster moves, management/coaching positions but let's cut the guy some slack here.

A number of big questions as we go into the off-season. What will the vanquished contenders do to try to stop the Dubs burgeoning dynasty from a 3-peat? What will Toronto do after a 59-win season blew up in the playoffs? What will Chris Paul do as the most accomplished active player without an NBA championship? And of course what will LeBron do, period.

Should be an interesting couple of months ahead as an NBA fan after a decidedly dull finals.

Lebron goes to Toronto, Chris Paul goes to GSW.

100%

He's openly said hes changed play calls and you can see him completely disregarding whatever Lue says in favour of his gameplan.

LeBron dragged the Cavs to about 4 more finals they had business being in. Especially in 2007.

Oh but because he's an underdog that somehow ruins it.

LeBron is in a class of his own being the greatest runner up in the history of all sports. He will always be credited for dragging teams to the finals but that doesn't equate to winning by any means.

Lol. "when the going gets tough."

His team was the underdog in 7 of 9 Finals he's been in.

2007, 2015 and 2018 were the only times he was a clear underdog. The Heat being picked as underdogs in 2012 and 2014 was complete farce, in 2016 the teams were somewhat evenly matched despite GS going 73-9 and yea I guess in 2017 they had KD so it threw things in their favour but CLE still had their full team.

Heat had way more talent and lost because they played LeBron-ball too much. Don't let his stats mislead you - he was statpadding in garbage time.
No, LeBron shredded the Spurs. SA was much better coached though and LeBron's team couldn't play defense.

He was allowed to get garbage points because the games were over by then. In games 3-5, LeBronto scored 51 of his 81 points (63%) being down 15 or more points.

When the games were close, Leonard brutally outplayed him.

Also LeBron couldn't play defense either. He hasn't played defense in a very long time actually.
