Sounds like complete bull****
Why do you say that? With all of the rumors spinning of Lebron leaving, the "banana boat" foursome rumors, and now the firing of Griffin/them telling Butler to stay/Kyrie rumored to be open to a trade next year, it all seems predestined at this point.
And it makes some sense. This Cavs squad doesn't have the assets it needs to improve enough to beat GS, so Lebron might as well go play with his buddies in LA. That team probably has just as much of a chance to beat GS as this Cavs team, but I don't think it'd be about that anymore. I think Lebron just wants to play with his friends at the end of his career realizing that A) he'll probably never catch Jordan with his lackluster Finals records and only three rings and B) his legacy as an all-time great is already sealed.
You really think cavs players called up a top-15 player in the league and said "don't come here"?
It's ridiculous
Yes? If they have no intention of staying there next year, Lebron specifically, it'd be pretty crappy of them to push for a Butler trade then leave him high and dry in cleveland. All of these guys are friends for the most part these days, and they don't want to screw each other over.
Nah it's BS from a BS source. Youre just tryna will it into truth.
Whatever, brah, not sure why you're getting all riled up over this.
I don't know about the credibility of this particular reporter, but he works for the Chicago Sun-Times, so it makes sense why he'd know or hear this.
The only rebuttal so far has come from a Cavs team source, which isn't really an objective source to trust, because of course they're going to deny it. So, again, not sure why you're so up in arms about this being fake news, especially given the fact that you could make this same claim about pretty much every rumor that has come out the last several days that hasn't come to fruition.
Lol you seem a lot more riled up than me.
I just think it's bull**** because it came from a ****ty source and just doesn't make sense to me.
the entire Celtics fan base is desperate for Cle to really fall apart so it makes sense for. Cs fan to really want this to be true.
Again, where's the proof that this is fake or that this is a bad source that shouldn't be trusted? You've yet to provide anything suggesting this other than speculation.
Sounds more like you're the one that doesn't want it to be true, regardless of the facts and what's actually being reported. I mean, this goes right along with the numerous other credible reports that Lebron is a legitimate flight risk next year. Not sure why we should just ignore this one for no real reason.
The equally credible amico just denied it. Jimmy butler isn't a free agent so he doesn't get to choosr.
So why, again, would a cavs player tell jimmy to stay away when it has no discernible benefit for them OR Butler.
Well, according to other very reputable posters here (Max215 and Saltlover), Amico isn't to be trusted. He's had issues with credibility and plagiarism in the past, so apparently he's not a trustworthy source. That's something I didn't know when I posted a tweet of his yesterday.
But I already addressed that exact report. He got that from a Cavs team source. So of course they're going to deny that. Why wouldn't they?
So now a necessarily biased Cavs team source is more objective than a report from a Chicago-based news source? I don't see how that makes sense, especially with the numerous other credible rumors that we've heard that fall right in line with this rumor.
