It’s definitely fixable. Just have to be right once at GM. 
 

It’s like when he took over the Bills. Many were critical of him. He was making some mistakes. But he just had to be right 1 time and everything changed. 

I don't think the Bills situation ever got bad with players and agents in the way that it has with the Sabres.

Roll players??? That’s a laughable take. Dennis Rodman was the best rebounder in NBA history, by a wide margin. That’s not something Jordan did. There have been analytics articles that have claimed Rodman was the “MVP” of the league some seasons, based on a statistical analysis of what stats correlate to winning (offensive rebounds was a big one). He was a 2x Dpoy. Scottie Pippen was a 7x all star and led the league in steals one year. Those aren’t role players by any means.

wow where to start with this take?!

 

first, yes..Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders ever.   That’s cool. But nowhere and  in no universe would be considered NBA MVP for that.  That’s nuts.  Bulls win 3 in a row before The Worm joined.  
 

Pippen was a great Robin to Batman.  But there was no team where he could be Batman.   He was a creation of Jordan.  Plus he was soft.  
 

What else you got? Paxton? BJ Armstrong? Bill Cartright? Kerr? Kukoc?  
 

lol come on.  This take is wild

Josh honestly is a better comp to Lebron than anyone else in the NBA lexicon. 
 

Potentially the most gifted player to ever play the sport / absolute physical freak at the position.  

I would say Josh's personality is closer to LeBron's but his Superman ability, be it crazy throws, hurdling, plowing, fourth down second effort is all Jordan.

 

LeBron isn't comfortable being Superman.  He can do it on occasion but likes to have others who can run also with it.

LeBron is not even a top ten all time player. He took a shortcut that wasn't available to other all time greats which inflated his status . He also never developed a true post game which would've made him unstoppable 

 

Top 10-20. Okay.

 

Off the top of my head he wasn't better than Magic bird or Isaiah. Wasn't better than Dr. J....wasn't better than Kareem or Hakeem, wasn't better than Oscar Robinson or Ewing. Nowhere near Jerry West or Bill Russell. 

 

You could make an argument that Shaq was better....

 

LeBron taking a shortcut to Miami destroyed his legacy and robbed everyone of the journey every all time great has to go through. 

 

He lost respect for that. He regained some respect going back to Cleveland and that should tell you something.

 

He had to bring a title to Cleveland or his legacy would've been completely tarnished 

I lived in Cleveland through all of LeBron's time here.  He promised us a title when he was drafted and he was good to his word.

 

LeBron has always wanted his legacy to be winning championships on different teams.  A big part of why he left Cleveland is they weren't a winning culture and organization and so Pat Riley, D. Wade et al was just what he needed to figure that out.

 

Bad blood was all over the streets when he left CLE but he was true to his word even though many wouldn't have blamed him for moving on from his promise.

 

He receives a hero's welcome every time he's back here.  Cavs fans finally understand what he's all about and are grateful he came back per his promise.  I dare say we don't consider his career tarnished at all.  What he's achieved is unbelievable.

Nice guys. Good choices by Pegula. I expect nada impact from them football wise (as it should be), but at least Pegula didn't bring any jerks into the fold.

 

Pegula: I try to get not too high, and not too low. Good for him. That's why McDermott hasn't been fired--Pegula doesn't succumb to lows.

 

Pegula's office looked chintzy for a billionaire. Saving money for the important stuff--I guess that's how you get rich.

Anyone know what the percentage of the team each of these 3 now own?

It is actually 5 people. There are also 2 women.

He did get redemption getting a title in Cleveland. And his greatness was validated beating golden state...

 

I just think ppl missed out on the story similar to Jordan and there is Usually a painful road the greatest have to go through to break through.... Ppl don't like what he did....

 

It's why I think he is a great player and obviously one of the best. But I can't put him in the Jordan, Magic, Bird, Isaiah conversation. 

 

Ppl can disagree but that's just how I feel. 

 

His legacy would've had so much more reverence if he stayed in Cleveland

I mite won't to add Jordan has 6 and how many years did he play and winey has 5 and how many years is he going to play.  If your talking true bb legion look for the guy who has the most titles.  It is not even close.
