Courting The King Of No Rings
-
We continue to be stumped why he met with these jokers. Comic relief?
Seriously, how else to explain LeBron James and the Clippers hooking up? The Bricks are bad enough, but the Clip Joint?
Yes, the Clippers have some nice pieces, with Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman, and one day they might be a decent club, but they also have one of the worst owners in sports and they still have some dead weight, most notably point guard Baron Davis. They also don’t have a coach (they probably were leaving that up to LebBron), they’re cheap and they’ll always be 2nd city in L.A. Simply, they’re the Clippers.
Part of the Clipper sales pitch was having James imagine being paired with Griffin, who we hope avoids the Clipper Curse and has a healthy and significant career. But as much as we love Griffin’s game and his potential in the NBA, you’ve got to be kidding pitching a kid who hasn’t played an NBA game to James, who’s played so many without earning a ring.
L.A. Times
Bringing the Heat and an air of arrogance: Pat Riley couldn’t resist tooting his horn. “These people [James and his group] need to see who we are,” Riles said.
Maybe see you for what your are? Maybe that would explain why the Heat’s franchise player, Dwyane Wade, was flirting with possibly hitching up with his hometown Bulls at about the same time Riles and his henchmen were meeting with James in Cleveland. Imagine the phone call from James to Wade.
“Dude, you’re not going to believe this,” James probably said. “Dude, what did I tell you?” Wade responds with a laugh.
