Candid enough, nicely articulated.

[@GabGotti3]

It was LeBron. We all know this. Bron almost ruined the career of arguably the best coach in the game right now.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Spo would’ve gotten another gig if this had happened. The team had declined and got swept in the first round after they won the chip. Then they had the horrible season the year before Spo which was largely injuries. But then both of Spos years before Bron they were a playoff team, and while losing in the first round both years did enough that another squad would’ve been ready to give a young dude who did have an ok couple years a chance. Especially if the firing was because of LeBron because it wouldn’t have been an issue of his performance. But also not saying it’s right but hard to not understand a tiny bit. The entire move to Miami was hinged entirely on winning rings immediately so having a coach with little experience that has to endure the growing pains as they get better is not the ideal selection you’d want for leading things when you’ve made an unpopular move solely to win and to win immediately. Pat made the right call by keeping him in place because we’ve seen that he became a really good cosch and seeing him take two teams to the finals that he has since LeBrons exit has really been impressive for his resume. But I’m not sure it would’ve been a career ender but it would’ve sucked for sure.
