He promised that many when he did go to Miami and came up very short! And he wouldn't have Wade or Bosh in that hypothetical scenario
I mean, he won a weak Eastern Conference the year before Boston assembled its Big Three and the Pistons were on the way out .
Are we equating the Cavs to the Bulls
Ehhh
The Bulls a season after Jordan still made the playoffs
The Cavs a season after LeBron only won 19 games
Ehhh
The Bulls a season after Jordan still made the playoffs
The Cavs a season after LeBron only won 19 games
Also, the Bulls at least did some stuff post-Jordan. From 2004 to 2017 the made the playoffs all but 2 seasons.
The Cavs, in their entire existence, have only 2 ECF appearances that don't involve LeBron and no Finals appearances. You have to go back to 1997 to find a season where the Cavs had a winning record without LeBron. And in the 6 years where LeBron was still in the league but not on the Cavs, they won 25 or less games 5 times, including winning only 19 games 3 times.
Chicago is a bad organization.
Cleveland should just straight up be eliminated.
Oh no the Cavs are worse
But not by much!
Oh, the Cavs are much worse.
Drafting Anthony Bennett as the first pick when literally no one thought he was the best player in the draft alone makes them much worse.
The Bulls have been a poorly run organization pre and post Jordan, but they haven't done anything that bad.
Virtually no one had him going #1 though, and it's extremely rare in the NBA to have the #1 pick be a surprise!
Also keep in mind that there's more to being a poorly run organization than team record. The record is often a reflection of it, but not always. The Cavs were still making bad decisions even when Lebron was there! There's a reason why Lebron left both times. The Knicks had a few years of success when Melo was still in his prime, but that doesn't mean they aren't the worst run organization in any sport because they are.
That's true.
How many years we gotta wait before we can see LeBron vs. Bronny in the league?
Imagine if the Cavs get the top pick and then draft BronnyHe's not very good.
