What is the direction of that franchise? Is Sexton or garland a future all star? I would be quite a bit surprised if Sexton became one. Kevin love is trapped in purgatory and seems to be viewed as a negative asset. What do they do moving forward to being competitive?
It's quite funny actually, for all of Lebron's greatness, he hasnt done much for the Cavs apart from that 1 title in how many seasons? 8, 9? They were relevamt all along, but we know titles matter and to make it worse, his style of going aboug business has left the franchise in a very bad spot.
They made 5 Finals with him, were one of the best teams by win percentage while he was there, and were heavy underdogs in all of those Finals so only getting one title isn't "bad" in my book. I mean the 20% shot at winning each of those series against GSW/Spurs seems about right on average.
I think its to his credit, that franchise is a dumpster fire from the owner on down. He dragged an terrible organization to greatness. They chew through coaches/GMs/etc so fast no chance to ever develop anything good in that organization.
Yeah. I think the fact that they were winning 60 games his first stint and made 4 consecutive Finals, winning one, his second time is a better sign of his greatness than they other way around. The Cavs have basically always been a mess of an organization from top down. I mean Lebron left Miami and they didn't go into the crapper. Obviously not as good losing one of the greatest players ever, but not the worst team in the league either. Lebron dragged crap to greatness. that is perhaps his greatest trait.
