LeBron James didn't return to Cleveland just to play ball -- he came to build an empire. From roster moves to play calls, behold the unseen machinations of the NBA's most powerful man.
While LeBron is out, Griffin approaches James at the practice facility. The Cavs are sinking, in the midst of losing seven of eight games; the team badly needs help on the wing, and Griffin has learned he can get Iman Shumpert from the Knicks for a song-but the price of the deal is to also take J.R. Smith. Griffin wants Shumpert badly, but he's concerned about the enigmatic Smith. When he asks James what he thinks, James says that he's actually more interested in getting Smith than Shumpert. To ease Griffin's worries, LeBron ends the conversation by saying: "Get J.R. here and I'll take care of it." |

You mean to tell me Lebron wanted JR more than Iman. DO not let Guns see this.

"I'll take care of it".........
Sounds like a leader who makes sure his troops will follow. |

Marks is just putting out the numbers for folks..., seems pretty objective- guess he wants to keep those job doors open for the future. This is his chart, I think- seems like one of the best experts around in terms of getting out and talking about the numbers in the NBA.

. He could've done what he's doing in Cleveland anywhere. All those corny commercials about his heart always being at home? Right, while he was in Miami so he could win championships off of Wade's sacrifice.... and using PEDs along the way. 
believe it.
