NBA: Should LeBron James be compared to Michael Jordan?

[Rhoadhoused]

Part of the problem for Cleveland was that LeBron was so good right away that Cleveland was never really bad once they got him. They won 35 games his first year there and never had a pick higher than 10th while LeBron was there. The Thunder being terrible for Duran't first couple years allowed them to rack up high picks and get him help in Westbrook and Harden, Cleveland never had the chance to do that. Their front office also made a lot of mistakes early on like you mentioned and it took them a long time to dig out from some of those awful contracts.

Couldn't have said it better. Absolutely correct.

I got my info on Jordan from here Year-by-year history of the Chicago Bulls | THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE CHICAGO BULLS which is a story kind of so there is more information on the timeline.
