Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
Nice selective history giving there. Garnett had wasted his prime in Minnesota and they were doing absolutely NOTHING to put a decent team around him. Even when he did accept that trade to Boston, it only happen after EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE in the league and his inner circle finally convinced him to stop being loyal to a team who wasn't being loyal to him (not in the sense that they were actually trying to do anything with his career)
Wow, that sounds familiar. Has Cleveland won a ring in the 7 years LeBron has been there? What's even funnier is the T-Wolves went to a Western Conference final one year I believe but its very similiar. Lebron gets ripped for not having multiple rings, He wants to go to a situation much like Charles Haley, Deion Sanders to the Cowboys and a bunch of players to the Yankees, to win multiple rings.The Sports Preacher

If Lebron does complete this real life nWo heel turn, I don't know if my initial reaction will be to either laugh or just be shocked that he really did this.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
Dennis Johnson was not an MVP candidate. Lebron and Wade are top 3 players in the league, and Bosh is top 3(at worst) at his position. This is about the perfect storm. You have an reigning MVP on a 60+ win team who appeared to quit on that team in the playoffs, leaving his home town to join another MVP candidate with another top 10 player on that team. Not in a trade, there is no player being drafted into this situation. Lebron would be opting out. Jumping ship.
And again, he's not leaving a losing situation in the least. His team had the best record in the NBA last year. He's folding on a good hand because he's scared if he goes to Miami.The Sports Preacher

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
Basketball doesn't compare to other sports because of the size of the rosters, and impact of individual players. Since a great player is 1/5th of the production of a team for about 39 mins, a 15 year career is a pretty good window to surround him with enough talent to win a ring. It's not like in other sports where the offense and defense aren't on the playing area at the same time, and consequently requiring different personnel. That's why there are only 6 MVPs in history that have not won at least one ring, and even those guys have mostly come within a game or two of getting a ring, with the exception of Steve Nash who is widely considered to have stolen two MVP awards from Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant.
Since when has winning without cheating been a bad thing?The Sports Preacher

Erik Spoelstra = Ted DiBiase
Chris Bosh = The Giant
Dwyane Wade = Hollywood Hogan
LeBron James = Kevin Nash

Right on point, Born. Baseball players have spokesmen, who lead the team by hardwork and/or consistent play. Occasionally, their independent play may or my not affect the outcome of a game. In the game of basketball, the star player effects the game practically every night one way or the other. Individual basketball players affect their sport far more than baseball and football players affect their sport. There is no comparison.Xbox Live- YoKnos

I wish I had photoshop skills because I would SO hook this picture up:

If somebody could make a .gif out of this video, putting Lebron's face on Hogan, Dan Gilbert's face on Macho Man and Bosh/Wade's face on Hall and Nash....God bless your soul man.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread
When did I say anything bad about Rose? All I said is that With Bron surrounded by Rose, Deng, Boozer, and Noah, defenses could sag off everyone and force those 4 to shoot jumpers and Chicago would probably have some struggles with it. They have the most talent, but they're probably the worst fit for Lebron.
I understand your points on how the teams are constructed now. Yes, a guy like Eric Gordon would be able to stretch the court with his shooting. BUT in the end, LeBron really needs someone that can, as you said before, 'take some pressure off of him' and Rose is just that type of player. Just putting shooters around LeBron doesn't seem to work. Cleveland has been doing it for the past couple of years and they failed to advance to the Finals. They need more than shooters. But I would say this much, obtaining a player to 'take some of the pressure off LeBron' is much harder finding than finding a shooter. Shooters are a dime-a-dozen. The Bulls already have that complementary in place in Rose and pretty soon they will be signing either Kyle Korver or JJ Reddick.I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands, even if he's wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil. - Malcolm XComment
