People disrespecting LeBron for the decision has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. He had no help and his 2 MVP awards were wasted by a bad team and a small market team.

Cavs didn’t even make an effort to bring in anyone who was decent. The whole front office was trash. I feel like if they brought in 1 good player for Lebron he would of won the nba finals but they didn’t appreciate him. Even when he won it in 2016 he had to carry the Cavs by himself almost except Kyrie. It’s a shame

[@MrPinotin]

So many years between 03-10 they had no 1st round picks because they traded them for trash players
