I dont agree with this at all. How many times could KD or RW gotten Brooks fired?

And maybe that's why Bron is Bron and they aren't? KD and RW loved Brooks but didn't see that he was hurting them and their title chances....maybe if they were more like Bron, they would've pushed him out and got someone in there and would've won a ring? Not saying it definitely would've happened BUT if I had a choice being my superstar having a persona/attitude like Bron or KD? I'll take Bron every time.

It's not like Bron was taking charge and going to management to express his dislike for Blatt. He's been extremely passive agressive and has frankly come across as a diva by constantly showing Blatt up.

I'll take Kobe's personality over all of them.
 
Besides, the reason Lebron is Lebron has nothing to do with his attitude and everything to do with being a physical freak. No matter how uppity Russ becomes he will never be Lebron.

Was Blatt the reason they lost?

The only time that Brooks really "deserved" to get fired was after the 2012 finals by playing Perkins so much. So many other things happened since that time where I don't Brooks really deserved to be fired but could have gone either way.

Interestingly enough, when Brooks was playing hardball for another contract after 2012 Presti really wanted to hire Stevens but it just wasn't practical. That would have been incredible.

Hurray for an adult giving another adult the silent treatment.

And the juvenile rolling of the eyes with signs of exasperation!

Lets also not mention the talks of how Lebron allows a massive entourage to get unbelievable amounts of access to the team facilities. This was always reported by Ira Windermanwith his time on the heat. This isnot something that every superstar does to that level.

He's not THE reason they lost but if you read everything that has come out, it's obvious the guy is in over his head. Having Phil Jackson / Riley / Red / etc in their prime and you probably aren't winning without Love and Kyrie.

Even if 50% of the stuff is true, it's a horrible look.

Sometimes yeah but trading Wiggins is gonna hurt them long-term.

Especially since they really only use Love as a spot-up 3 point shooter. And he may leave or is only there 1 more year.

Its kind of hard to do your job when you get consistently undermined by your best player and your lead assistant. Blatt is an accomplished coach. This guy knows basketball.

i don't even care if Blatt was Fredi Gonzalez. It's about being a decent human being and not a middle schooler.

LeBron had enough power in Cleveland that if he wanted to get rid of Blatt and hire Lue, then he could have talked to Gilbert about it and it would have happened that same day.

Love is a better fit with Bron than Wiggins is....they just need a coach to use him correctly. They started to figure it out, then he got hurt.

Blatt is more of a defensive coach, with the limited pieces he had, he did quite a job vs GS in the Finals with the scheme they used.

He won 16 European titles, the man can coach.

We dont know that.

Wiggins gives them a good defender, and a young, athletic player Bron can throw it too upcourt in fastbreak situations.

They dont even use Love right when he played.
