There's a fine line between playing with help. (Or in Wolph's scenario of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, 2 players drafted by the same team.) Between playing with help, and communicating throughout a season, and making plans to take pay cuts to play together and form a super team.
Larry Bird was not out there on a golf course (because he loves golf) with McHale and Parish when they were playing for a different team going "Guys, let's all take pay cuts and play together".
Lol, of course they weren't, cause they were already playing together. Your comparing apples to oranges. I also love how, people hold the Cav's front office moves, against Lebron. The best player they brought in to help was a 80 year old Shaq. I'm sure it would have been different if Lebron and Cavs would have continued to struggle, allowing themselves to be in the lottery, year after year. I mean, lets be fair about building a team around him, until D'wade and Bosh. He didn't get to play with another top 10 draftee, other than Luke Jackson year 2 at pick 10(who?). So the blame, your putting on him, isn't really fair. Litterly over night, he took Cleveland from Lottery to out of the Lottery. 5 years into Jordan's compain, they were still drafting as low as 8.... when they traded up to get Scotty Pippen, but yes, please hold that against Lebron too.
