but I find it distasteful that a single player has (or thinks he has) so much influence over a team.
The thing is they can get a quality player moving the Brooklyn pick, but they aren't going to do that without without a commitment that he's staying.
If you're going to commit to staying, its your own fault and enough with the tantrums. A lot of their current issues are because him, like the Thompson and Smith contracts.
I feel like all recent LeBron teams all have the same problem: It's him, another star or two, and then a bunch of below average role players/old retreads/nobodies. He advocates for these guys, and then they disappear for large stretches of a game or even season.
After he left them in ruins last time they'd be fools to bend the knee and do whatever he wants today. He's got 1 1/2 feet out the door already. It's obvious.
and Lebitch runs away to a better situation. Unbelievable. The cavs learned their lesson, they aren’t destroying their future to appease Lebitch while he’s got a foot out the door. Good for them.
I used to be a massive fan of his. But how he’s handled things, especially GMing has been brutal. From bad signings to coach firings he’s been an absolute tool.
Of LeBron's influence and requests may have been, I have every confidence that without him, the Cavs front office would make equally bad decisions, and likely much worse ones.
They could do a lot of damage if they tried to make a win now move Â
Those two players were starters and important role players on a team that won a championship and the Cavs couldn't have replaced either of them due to the salary cap had they decided to let them walk.

but the Cavs sucked for 20 years without him... sucked for the years he was in Miami... and have been to the Final 4x including the last 3 with him in town. and he brought them their first title in 50 years.

Pretty painful to read the crap- have chatted to him a lot of late but more on personal than work stuff.
The price for bigs is too high-
And the effort level of the team is terrible
Take a look at their W-L record and attendance over the last 20 years when he's there vs. when he's not there. That buys a lot of influence.

Cavs have the best scouts in the biz!

So... deal with, things could be worse.
I might go out & get a nice 6 pack & watch that one @ home. I really like this Wolves team. I hope they stick it to Cleveland.
