Simmons comes off looking like a moron yet again... Big shock...
The fact is, Jordan had one of the top 50 players on his team... Not in the league, but of ALL TIME... I do believe however that his ego would've been too large for him to have ever not been the league's highest player and join forces with 2 other great players...
Also, didn't Simmons's beloved Celtics pretty much do the exact same thing, just with older players that were in the top 15 in the league when they got traded?
Bird had Parrish and McHale... They didn't exactly suck.
Magic had Kareem... two of the top 10 players of all time... Brutal.
The fact is, LeBron gave Cleveland every opportunity in the world to keep him... Had they made one decent move while he was there, he has a ring by now, and he doesn't feel the need to chase one at all costs... It says a lot that he was willing to take a pay cut to leave his hometown...
And LOL at the Bulls for signing Boozer as a last-ditch attempt to get Lebron... Had Boozer honored his word when the Cavs released him to reward him with a better contract, Lebron has a ring by now... Signing Boozer pretty much assured that Lebron would never choose Chicago...
In the end though, the NBA still sucks...
