Denver only playing seven guys by the end of the WCF is nuts. But hey they get a ton of rest now.

I must say, I was about ready to hold my hands up re: the lack of depth had Denver lost that game. 

I wasn't expecting Braun to become unplayable; they are going to need his perimeter D against the Heat.

LeBron says he'll seriously consider retirement this summer.

Just don't pull an MJ/Favre/Brady, LeBron.

He's just emotional after the sweep and knowing it is only going to get harder going forward with his foot injury. That will never go away and if he does elect to do surgery, it's going to be a long recovery where his entire offseason will be dedicated to just that. 

He will be back and they will try to make a big push for Kyrie and give it one more legitimate go at it.

I would've thought it would be anyone it'd be Green but he made some solid plays the last two games. Thankfully it won't matter with the huge break, and Miami having Love banged up.

This is likely going to be what happens, but I would rather him retire. I have loved Lebron since I first saw him play, but, there's nothing left to prove. He's not the player he was, and just because he's Lebron, the cachet his name brings, doesn't mean that a team is going to try and take a flier on Bronny who is a second rounder right now. Bronny may well be in the G League for a little bit.

A team would absolutely draft and guarantee Bronny's contract if LeBron were coming with him, even for only a season.

I can think of three reasons LeBron would want to retire:

1) He's too prideful to have a season where he's truly a shell of himself.

2) It's absolute torture to keep his body in "LeBron shape" at the age of 39, especially when a nagging injury is guaranteed every year

3) Forcing your son to have to play with/for you is too much pressure on him. Maybe he wants to let him forge his own path without being resented by his future teammates for getting special treatment.
