seriously, cleveland dont deserve him? sorry, but looks like the people of cleveland have their ducks in order and realize the dude is just another pro athlete. what an idiot!!

Laughable article. So because the Knicks thrashed two seasons they deserve LBJ more than the Cavs? Worst article so far.

If LeBron returns to Cleveland without the aid of another max player, I'll lose respect for em. All this posturing and madness for nothing when you could have easily announced your intentions on returning to Cleveland? If that is indeed the case, then this man is the ultimate drama queen, and I'll always question his will to win. Because as I've said previously, if he indeed returns to this ailing Cleveland team without further aid, he may never win a title. Not with OKC in the west, and Orlando, Boston(even aging), Atlanta, and a potential dream team in Chicago with D-Wade and Bosh.

My opinion on Bosh has changed so much over the last 2 months. First I had no real feelings towards him either way, then after some of his interviews like when he was on ESPN radio I thought he seemed like a really smart, down to earth guy. Now he seems like such a prima donna .

He's a distant 3rd in this free agent class, but he's making things difficult for everyone. Won't go to a team without a center, won't go without a sign and trade, wants to play with Lebron but not in Cleveland. He finds something wrong everywhere.

Re: The Official "Where is LeBron going?" Thread

and ailing Cavs team? lmao..

if LBJ returns to Cleveland, to pretty much the same team as last year. thats fine, gonna have another solid year and money off the books next off season, right?

it could be worse IMO..

Bosh isn't the answer in Cleveland... would be nice to have, but maybe have to give up to much in a sign and trade.

all these guys are drama queens, just sign already.

On the note of knowing what they wanted to do. Windhorst is on the radio here in Chicago and just mentioned that in a conversation with Bron Saturday or Sunday Bron said that he was sure he knew what he wanted to do a week ago but wasn't sure after the meetings. Of course take that for what it's worth as he then went on to say that the talk of Rose not doing backflips about becoming second fiddle to a big free agent isn't something that just came up two days ago but has been the subject of talk in the NBA for months. Of course, no one in this free agent media decided to post it until two days ago though.

I'm not trying to take a run at you, but why is this such a hard concept for everyone to grasp? Everything is not the exact same as it was a week ago or even by the end of Cleveland's season this year let alone years ago when the contract extensions were worked out for this moment. There are variables, unforseen factors that come into play and if you ask me, you're a complete fool if you say two months or two years ago what you're going to do on July 8th, 2010 and stick to that no matter what.

I'm with you man. It's not like he hasn't had the last two years to recruit Bosh. This was fun for the first few days but now it's like the third Lord of the Rings movie that could never figure out when (and how) to end.

looks like The King will return to his throne and take on the nba's finest with the same roster for most part from last year.

Why do you say Bosh to the heat is done? Is this based on Ric Bucher's tweet?

Yes, ailing Cleveland team. Minus LeBron, they'd be hard pressed to win 30 games. They're no better than New York without LeBron, and especially not any better than Chicago or any of his other options.

I understand what you're saying, but the man has been prepping for this off season for two years. He's had time to recruit Bosh, and any other superstar he wished to team up with. The thing is, nobody wants to go to Cleveland. At least none of the bigger stars who could actually make a meaningful difference. He's known this, we all have.

Either stay loyal and risk the chance of never winning in Cleveland, or for the betterment of your legacy team up with Chris Bosh or Mr. Stoudemire and land in Chicago or New York. It's his choice, and he's had time enough to make it.

The Cavs, much like the Lakers and Magic, aren't built to be good without their super star.

Those teams completely dismantled their team to build around a star. While New York may be better than Cleveland minus Lebron, I don't think New York with Lebron is better than Cleveland with Lebron.

Not to mention that even if the Cavs don't get another top tier guy, they will get a couple mid to upper level guys that will help them. Its not like they NEED another superstar to win. IMO at least.

The Lakers would be a 40-50 win team without Kobe. There's enough depth on that team that they'd be able to win if Kobe ever needed a prolonged rest due to injury. For example, if Kobe was out for 20 games, they'd survive. They'd probably go 13-7 or something along those lines. In my opinion, the same goes for Orlando. Perhaps not to the same extent, but they'd survive, especially in the east.

Cleveland on the other hand would be a cellar dweller without their star.

I personally think LeBron, Amare, and Gallinari, is a better core than LeBron, MO, and Jamison. Especially with the offense New York runs, and LeBron's style of play.
