Feel bad for Cleveland fan right now. They could've had LeBron and Bosh on the Cavs, but Bosh hated Cleveland so much he wouldn't come play with the best player in the league. And now LeBron is going to take a pay cut to go play somewhere else.

Hope everyone on the Cavs gets to bang LeBron's mom before he leaves town. I mean if they haven't already.

Really pumped for the 3 hour SportsCenter before the James LeBron 1 hour decision special.

yeah, BSPN's now picked up the report saying he's likely headed to the Heat.
lol if he does. This whole 1 hour special would have been for nothing because he allowed the information to leak early. Also, if he does...looks like I still have no reason to watch the Knicks. Stoudemire ain't enough. They've spent 2 years trying to shed cap space solely for this free agent class, and it didn't pan out.

He really is the only good thing going in that state. Besides the Reds now.

If this Heat news is legit, there is absolutely no reason for them not to win the Championship now. No more excuses for Lebron if he can't get the win.

So Wade and Bosh announce they are going to Miami, and then LeBron does a 1 hour special the next day to announce he's also going there? Quite a few things don't make much sense about him going there. The one thing that has been brought up constantly is his legacy and now it'll be as Wade's sidekick on Wade's team. I dunno, the whole thing has been a circus.

It's weird really, I loved basketball and it was my main sport for years. But my interest eroded after the Ewing trade. It's not even really the fact that they sucked...I still watch pretty much every Mets game even when they are 15 games under .500 and way out of it ala last year. I guess I just didn't find the sport as interesting anymore, and the games just become dominated by superstars. I've really liked guys like David Lee, but the Knicks have just been missing a mega-star to keep me as interested.
Hoping for a swerve tonight. LeBron should wear the jersey of every team that courted him, and tear them off one by one until he gets to his destination

Lots of reports saying that he still hasn't chosen between the Knicks and the Heat. Don't know though. I'm sure he's made his decision since his show is hours away.

I'm not huge into New York Sports but, I for one, would love to see the Knicks be a legit contender again. However; with a Bosh/Lebron/Wade team, a championship seems much more likely.

Simmons said he's the new Hollywood Hogan, thing is Lebron wasn't trying to be heel though.

Bosh and Wade most likely chose to announce yesterday to give them a day at the top of the headlines. All the papers and talking heads would give them their day and then go back to talking about LeBron. But then it backfired when LeBron announced his special so everyone is still talking about him.

Pretty much if LeBron goes anywhere besides Cleveland, he will be labeled as a heel. If he goes to New York or New Jersey, he only cares about the money. If he goes to Miami, he's taking the easy way to a championship. If he goes to Chicago, he ditches his old team for a division rival.

Not really that big. I mean if you're ranking Ohio sports popularity it goes
1. Ohio St. football 2. Browns 3. Bengals 4. Reds 5. Indians 6. Cavaliers In terms of individuals, he's probably the biggest name, although Jim Tressel's close. But Ohioans just don't really care about the NBA. College basketball is much more popular here. |

The only reason people in Cleveland care so much is because they just want to win something. But even then, they're still more likely to watch the Browns lose than the Cavs win.

They are saying on SportsCenter that people in Wade's "inner circle" are saying that "there is a feeling" that James isn't really needed in Miami and it would kinda take away from what Wade could do there with just himself and Bosh.
Also showed some interview with Wade talking about him and Bosh, and seemed like he had no idea what James was going to do. Wasn't asked anything about him in the interview but just kinda seemed like it, like he was only talking about how he and Bosh could win a championship together. I feel like if James was going to go there, they would probably be "in on it" slightly or something. Seems weird. |

If he leaves Cleveland he can never safely travel to Ohio ever again.

The funny part is people in Cleveland are so used to people leaving town for money, that if James left for a bigger contract they probably could take it. But if he takes a pay cut and leaves because he wants to win somewhere else, that will set them off.
If this happens, Art Moddell may have competition for the most hated man in Cleveland. |

Even if Bosh and Wade take a pay cut to get LeBron in Miami, that still leaves them with very little money to build a bench.

You don't need a bench to win a championship, the lakers just won didnt they?

You need role players, and yes you do need a bench. I'm sure some Vetertern players would be lining up to play on this team though.
If all 3 are in Miami it doesn't necessarily guarantee a Championship. It would make things really fun however. |

Leaving in the middle of the night(Is that what happend with the Browns or was that just a colts thing?) is bad, but it's not as bad as doing a selection show on national TV so you can milk every second out of it. Also when the Browns were they bad? I think they were borderline terrible at the time. With the Cavs they just won back to back 60 win games in the regular season. So if Lebron were to come back they would probably be the favorites in the East or still really high. Then to top it off how he basically gave up in game 5 of the playoffs against the Celtics at home it's bascially the worst possible scenario. So I think it's even worse then the Browns leaving. Even if they are more popular in the city of Cleveland. |

But this does.
I'd rather have that then at least what is going on right now. At least then I know, and I'm not getting jerked around like I would be now. (I can't think of a better adjective or Metaphor) |
