Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2726482, member: 1026"] "We love you Joel, you are now the most loved player in Philly and we want to build our team around you! Your skills are just emerging and this year we achieved our goal of making the playoffs & then surpassed it by winning round 1 handily and a competitive series vs Boston! Most agreed that as your game/stamina progresses we will be favorites in the east." "But the Celtics are getting better so we would like you to become our #2-3 option and we will build the team around LeBron. This will mean less attention for you, fewer endorsements but we gotta hedge because of your injury history. We know you aspire to be the best player in the NBA, but instead how about being the 2nd best player on your own...errr LeBron's team? You are locked into your contract for 5 years so nothing you can really do about it." [/QUOTE]
