[QUOTE=HaNdLe ThE RoCk]So Bron would guard Bynum?[/QUOTE]The Cavs wouldnt even have lebron at the 4 if bynum AND pau were both in the game. maybe if odom was in they'd put lebron at the 4, but not when la has both of their bigs in. people use common sense.
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
Do the doubters remember that last year, even though he has bad footwork and no post moves, every time he posted up on the low blocks he scored easily or got his teammate a wideopen shot? Why is their so much doubt about this lol
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
LeBron is not 6'9. He's 6'8 in shoes.
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
Mike Brown isn't creative enough to make it work. You really need a guy like D'Antoni, Nelson, SVG, or Adelman.

Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
They're looking at Rashard Lewis in Orlando and thinking they can duplicate that in some way I think.

I didn't even realize when I typed that that Brown had a ring :hammerhead:
What I meant is that those guys never won anything, so why say we need one of those guys to make it work ? I'm sure Mike Brown can fail just as miserably as they did.

He may be, but his coaching style is too structured to have a talented all around 4. He's too conventional; that's my point. Besides, Nelson has 5 championships.

If your gonna do that at least get a Legit Wing like Artest or Marion.but Marion on Cavs could play the 4 position. Cavs would be better off getting a real PF as that is there missing piece to a championship.

Why is he a better coach than either of those guys? Because what? He has Lebron? Both of those guys could take teams with less talent and make something of them. If you take Lebron off the Cavs, what are they?
WOW, we are really reaching with Brown. I mean style wise if you want to kill D'Antoni fine, but Nelson? We are calling Nelson a bad coach? Do you mean like last year or career wise?
What has Brown done that doesn't involve the word LEBRON in it?

That means that we nearly beat a playoff team without our starting SF, PG, PF, C, backup C, and backup PF.
Now im not going to base his entire career on one game, but that's good coaching if you ask me. We basically played with our out-of-rotation guys and the guys that got little PT.
You have to give him SOME credibility as a good coach.
Re: LeBron James will play the PF Position next season
offensively, imo, it doesn't matter which position he plays...he will be a mismatch.
however, defensively, I just don't see him defending KG...or Gasol...etc etc.
he would get posted low every time.
the guy is an all-world SF... leave him there.
