IF he was soooo great, they wouldn't have traded him. Lu was having lingering complications from that botched spinal tap in the SUMMER of 2013, after the last of his AS selections.

so, like i said, he was damaged goods. he ain't looked like himself SINCE that botched procedure.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/10255605/cleveland-cavaliers-agree-trade-andrew-bynum-chicago-bulls-luol-deng

and he WAS INJURED before the trade.

"He has been bothered by an injured Achilles that caused him to miss nine games over the past six weeks."

SHUT YO WILLY NILLY WITH THE FACTS ASS UP!


>Deng got hurt AFTER the trade but he was by no means damaged
>goods.

he was damaged goods. his body was beat up.

>And since we getting 'dirty', he also had:

>#1 pick Anthony "better than LJ" Bennett

my biased opinion don't matter. what matters is he was the worst #1 ever and didn't help the team AT ALL.

>#4 pick Tristan

a specialist big. cool. real effective when the scoring is handled by a 4 other starters, because he's not a scoring option.

>#7 pick Dion "I got better when I left" Waiters

he is NOBODY...don't try to pass him off as good. this is the PROBLEM!

a 16/4/3 on 42%FG and 65%FT(!!!!!!) 6-3 SG?

GARY HARRIS IS ALREADY BETTER THAN DION WAITERS!


>Andy Varejao
>Spencer Hawes
>Delly
>CJ Miles
>Jarrett Jack

again. THIS is the problem. you dead ass serious. who are they, dogg? that supposed to mean something. andy get hurt before break every year or miss a good chunk of games.



>AND Deng who was putting up 19ppg and/or Bynum who could have
>been a good piece if he knees were functional.

deng put up 14 on 41% as a Cav...OH WELL. i guess that's better than clark and gee tho?


>They won 33 games dog, a 9 game improvement and they played in
>the East. Playoffs was reasonable, yr 3. "I" wasn't
>expecting it yr 1-2.

it wasn't REASONABLE for step and wall tho? they missed in year three with better rosters.

look, i ain't gon keep rehashing this. y'all dudes are biased. every excuse for all these other dudes, but there's some disconnect with kyrie and it for a whole variety of reason...duke stuff and he's a natural rival with a lot of other PGs, who ain't get the shine or have the success he did. but, tryna list past prime broke down jarret jack is a solid piece is WACK.

>That same year, the Hawks won 38 games and got the 8th seed.
>C'mon B. Stop whining about this, you should have expected
>playoffs too.

these hawks?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_Atlanta_Hawks_season

yeah, they should have made it. MILSAP, TEAGUE, HORFORD, KORVER, LOU WILL...you see how those names just just off the screen and your brain immediately processes them as "EFFECTIVE PLAYERS WHO ARE STILL TITLE CALIBUR PIECES TO THIS DAY"

but yo dumb ass gon list hawes with a straight face...some damn CJ miles, who was STARTING!!!!!


don't talk to me about this no more.

and rose will be DIRECTLY responsible for approximating kyrie's production. i don't wanna hear no damn excuse. unless ky's still there or justise ends up a cav in a trade, i am all in for boston knocking the cavs out...and it's because rose is THAT FAR from being close to kyrie.

GOOD!
