No matter where he goes he's always going to be the a dominant basketball player, he might end up on a team that isn't so dominant though

FUCK. I hate being around Cleveland sports for all of my life. We suck.


All I have to say is this: Fuck you Lebron, you are such a bitch. Rondo, you played amazing last night but you still look like a 15 year old boy. Regardless, you are a teammate that actually gave a shit last night and actually played worth a damn. Congratulation to Boston for beating a team that gave up by halftime. Way to fucking go. Lebron, get the fuck out of Cleveland.

As much of a point as you have, will they really be better off without him?

exactly my point. Will Mo and the other Cavs do nearly as good without him taking pressure off of them? I think not

What if he resigns with Cleveland? He is guaranteed more money if he stays with Cleveland, due to NBA salary rules, and he has said before he wants to be a billionaire, so he might stay......I don't think he will, but its very plausible.

I don't either, but you can't rule the Cavs out quite yet-they showed they will do whatever to try to win for him (Shaq, Jamison, etc)

As of right now, the only teams that can hypothetically afford him are
Nets
Knicks
Bulls
Cavs

it doesnt matter. cleveland literally CANNOT win a championship, in anything. its called the Cleveland Curse. no matter how stacked, we always fuck up. while i think lebron and the cavs played pretty awfully last night, i dont blame the dude for wanting to get the fuck out. he def. stuck around long enough for it to happen, and with a team as stacked as the cavs this season, its just ridiculous that we didnt even make it past semis.

Oh well, theres always next year!

this is a very sensitive subject for me, but i honestly think he will stay here. He grew up in the hood of akron, and this is his home. he has loyalty to this city, and he is not the kind of guy to give that up. he wants a ring for this city just as much as he wants it for his team and himself. We will make many keydeals this summer, picking up a dece guardi.e. Bosh, and getting rid of shaq to get a center or guard that still has functionable joints.

Most likely scenario: He resigns with Cleveland.

Unlikely Scenario: he signs with another mediocre NBA team.

Insane Scenario: He retires from the NBA after being so unsatisfied with his playoff performances. he then joins the NFL and becomes the best receiver of all time.



Who wouldn't want to see the third scenario?

Thats exactly what my facebook status was last night. hahaha

The only way I see LeBron staying is if they bring in Capilari (sp?) from Kentucky as the head coach.

As much as I hate lebron for not giving a shit last night, he has to stay. Even though he has had a real shitty attitude this series, he has to stay. I think his elbow is hurting a LOT more than people think or he is saying. Every drive to the hoop was left handed and majority of rebounds were lefty. His shot wasn't smooth or fluent at all. As much as I wanna blame the elbow, his effort was piss poor.

Calipari is saying he is for sure staying at Kentucky.  So i see it as a race between Chicago and Cleveland, as those are the teams who have the best lineups in order to win what LeBron wants.  Which team can get another key free agent and the best coach.

The Clippers have enough cap space for a max deal as well. I think he is going to Chicago. They have two great young players in Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, plus they have some other nice pieces (Luol Deng, Taj gibson, Kirk Hinrich) that other teams would have interest in if they wanted to orchestrate a trade.

i understand that Clevelend is pissed at Lebron for not winning them a championship, but you cant think that giving him up will make your team better in any way.

They don't wanna give him up, he is a free agent, and free to do what he pleases.  I'm sure Cleveland wouldn't mind keeping him

i honestly think the nets make the most sense. new team for lebron, new start. young talent. plus a lottery pick.he could hand pick a head coach. gonna be in BK in a few years. new owner that could basically buy every team in the league. why not?

No team can afford signing wade and lebron. I bet he stays with the cavs tho, but then again I really wouldn't be surprised him going to chicago or the nicks/nets.

Actually the Knicks easily can. If Curry Exercises his player option, the knicks are only spending 17 million, if curry doesnt, the knicks are spending around 6 million. The cap for next season will be in the 50 million range (either 53, 56 or 57, depending on what the league decides). Lebron can only receive 19 million max, due to league rules. So if Curry uses his option, and they get Lebron for 19 million, they still have over 14 million left to spend depending on cap. Give Wade 10 million, they have around 4-9 left on bench players/draft picks. Or the Knicks could go over the cap, pay the tax, just like they did a few years ago.

It's Knicks, not nicks. Do you dislike them because they suck and have no good players? If so, you will probably like them if they get two of your favorite players. Most people hate a team because of a rivalry, which the Knicks do not have with anyone, or because they hate a player, and there is no one on the Knicks to hate because they are so bad.

I've been a life long Knick fan. It's tough being a knick fan. We haven't had a respectable team since The Ewing/Starks/Oakley days. I hope we get Lebron but I would be equly happy with Wade. And signing Bosch is a must for us. It seems like The Dolan family finally smartened up a little. They're actually listening to Walsh.

I think ultimately getting rid of Robinson was the best thing. But he played with the heart/intensity that we've been missing for a while. We should of kept Crawford though. He is a good role player and would probably fit in well with some new big name additions.
We better not blow this and not sign anyone!

If NY uses their team options, and all the players with player options use theirs, NY only has 7 players.  And then NY has two second round draft picks.  So all in all, the most amount of players NY will have before signing anyone is 9.  They have so many options at this point, you're right, they better not mess it up haha

mike brown is done. with a new coach I could see him staying as long as they get another good FA. I'm pretty sure dwade is staying in miami so that should be lebrons #2 choice with chicago being #3. Going to a shitty team like the nets or the clippers will just make him look really bad
