    Nah he's got another year or 2 at this level and then the decline will kick in. Expecting him to be at this level at 36-37 is unrealistic.

    Lol @ at least 4-5 years of his prime left...I don't know if you guys remember or not but around this time last year most people were already saying he was slightly past his prime, it wasn't till he went off in the finals games 5, 6 and 7 that people changed their mind. I even made a thread about it last year I remember, think the results were pretty split.

    Real curious to see how he adjusts his game, don't think it'll be as smooth a transition for him as Kobe and Jordan since he's not as good of a shooter.

    Definitely not as good a shooter but he's still good in the paint so most likely he moves to the 4 at some point.

    LeBron has better IQ than both Kobe and Jordan so when he starts to decline in about 2-3 years, he'll adjust his game. Don't expect his numbers to drop below 20-5-5 45%fg until he retires.

    Fam he's a better passer than 98% of the players that ever played the game. The way he reads the game is what made and still makes him unguardable.

    More assists = higher IQ? We're talking about 3 legends the difference in their IQ is not that substantial. Father time remains undefeated and eventually he's gonna ruin Bron. Sucks but that's how it goes. Only guys to play at a high level late in their careers are elite elite bigs like Kareem or Malone.

    Lebron is in his 14th year. Hes also played almost 200 playoff games at 42 mpg. At least 4-5 years before hes out of his prime is wildly optimistic. That would bring him to 18-19 years in the league (with about 4 more seasons worth of playoff games) and then what, he declines for 3-4 more years after that?

    I think he has 5 more years in the league and I'm not sold on him staying in Cleveland either.

    As soon as a better situation is available for him, he'll be gone. I have a feeling he'll end up with his boys on Clips in LA at some point.

    I think he'll be looking for a younger core then what the Clippers have. Won't be surprised if he takes a discount and teams up with someone like he did Bosh and goes to a team that already has a couple studs under rookie contracts (not Minnesota, but a situation similar). Plus CP3, Blake and Reddick are all gonna be FA's this off-season, they could look very different next year.

    lol at that Stephen A line drive

    It's f---ing s--- what the f--- are we doing. :wow2:

    Silver lining is that AG can finally go back to playing the four spot for us again.

    And maybe T-Ross can give us some good outside shooting. :ohno:
