How can you dub a team a dynasty 30 minutes after they sign a player? You have to win 3 world titles minimum to be considered a dynasty, and they haven't even taken the court yet. Slow it down. Michael Wilbon comes out and predicts 3 titles in 4 years and everyones ready to put it in the record books. Classic shit.

Lebron and D Wade both like playing the point. Mario Chalmers is never going to touch the ball.

Im not flipping out. They gutted their team and got 3 all-stars...ive seen this all before. If they win they win, if not, whatever. The Lakers are still the champions until dethroned...just like any other sport. Who's flipping out about lack of attention? |

I love that he's got a 5 year deal and will be out of their so fast if they don't win any rings by then. His reputation as a locust will be sealed to the people who don't realize it now if it gets to be 2015 and he still doesn't have a ring, and goes to the best market instead of having any semblance of loyalty.

Look, fact is...they are young. Are the 'hungry'? I dunno, LeBron and Bosh are attention whores. Wade has battled and carried his team for years...ive never seen him tank a series like LeBron.
Like i said, they will contend...but for anyone to claim its a 'dynasty' is nuts. We havent seem their chemistry on court, hell...they dont even have a full squad right now. |

Chris Bosh twitter account basically hinted Lebron was going to Miami hours before it was official.Lots of tweets about everyone needs to watch the decision and him being fit from his yearly physical while promoting The Decision. http://twitter.com/chrisbosh |

It has a very good chance at working like they wanted it to work and they have an extremely good chance at AT LEAST the playoffs. Nobody is guaranteeing victory or anything. If they can learn to work together cohesively, they have a HELL of a shot at not only one championship, but multiple championships. Nobody here (that I see) is saying that they're going to 100% steam roll over all their competition.
But to not recognize that they have a VERY good chance at succeeding like intended, that's being silly. |

Is LeBron still considered to be as big of a dickhead right now if he had signed with the Knicks, Bulls, Nets, Clippers, or anybody BUT the Cavs or Heat?

Apparently I'm overreacting for voicing my disapproval of this sentiment. I think it's the opposite though. I think the other side is overreacting. I also thought Lebron was classless before the announcement, so I'm not really changing my tune here. Just voicing my thoughts on the matter. |

You're just going on the offensive a bit. That's all.
And you basically came out and said earlier that anybody that's a fan of Lebron James is a Nike Zombie, and doesn't "understand" that they're just being controlled to think that way. You're being a little unfair, methinks. |

so apparently if you shit on LeBron James, youre a Laker fan who is overreacting.
LeBron is a dickhead. He is not a humble individual, the fact that he had to announce his decision on ESPN shows that. The Fact that he got on Larry King during the finals shows that. |

I'm not on the offensive more than anyone else is though, that's what I'm saying. You can read every post in this thread and it's no different than anyone else. I just strongly dislike Lebron and this ordeal.
I never came out and said that shit either. I said the NBA has hyped him into something he's not, but that he's a great player. I said that thinking he's Michael Jordan is ridiculous. |

You have no dog in this fight.
Him to going to Miami is a great move. Him switching teams his fine. People are obivously going to try and speculate this team winning titles. So why get mad about it? Why do you care about this specualtion? It's always going to happen you have to get over it. For someone who doesn't pay attention to the news cycle why do you care so much? It really baffles me? It really doesn't make sense. Also is it really that unreasonable to try and predict a team with the 3 of the top 15 players in the league can win multiple titles? The problem isn't him going to Miami, it's the hour special and why he felt the need to do this. He had this decision made days ago so why drag it out other then to stroke your ego? So going after Lebron James for that is fine. |

Knicks = money Bulls = quit and go to the rival since he proved he couldn't "punish" Chicago for Jordan era Nets = same as Knicks Clippers = , NBA would be drooling at an inter-city Lebron vs Kobe feudHeat = proves he isn't the dominate player/#1 guy player and needs another star player (Lebron as the Pippen and not the Jordan of the Heat). Cavs would have been he wants to get a title but also demand better help |

sad to see lebron leave our hometown. Can't say I blame him. He really didn't have the support needed to be champions. Lacked the depth.
This new power 3 is going to either be amazing or be a real big letdown. I dunno fellas..thats a shit ton of ego on 1 court. Time will tell. Any clue who rounds out the starting five? |

I dunno. You just told Ermaximus "not to buy into it" like you were trying to save his life or something. Made it seem like everyone that "bought into it" was some stupid brainwashed simpleton.

i think having a top player be this way is pretty bad for the sport and business.
On the other hand, the Heat are none of my business unless we happen to meet in the finals. |
