It's not just Cleveland. He can go to a couple of places for that reason.

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

I got a feeling that with all this attention going to Miami and New York, I still say that it's either between Cleveland or Chicago. The media has got us all wrapped up in these two cities when it comes to LeBron that I think this is purposely done.

I've stuck with Cleveland or Chicago from the very beginning and I'm still sticking with it.

And I'll say this, there seem to me that there's going to be some outrage with a lot of Knicks and Cavs fans if they happen to be spurned. Bulls and Heat fans seem content with their teams currently constructed that even if they don't get LeBron, they'd be ok with that.

Teams like the Knicks and Cavs are hinging on the LeBron decision because he is the difference between being a 50+ win team to competing for the 8th seed in the east.

As for the Nets and Clippers, I think that those fans might be resigned to the fact that they have little to no shot at LeBron. SO I would probably put them in the category of the Bulls and Heat fans because of that.

Its obvious the Bulls are out of the races. They signed Boozer last night. Which totally takes them out of the races.

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

I'm not wavering on this. If anyone really believes he is going to Miami, I want to play poker with you.

Has anyone here seen the movie "The Prestige?" It, like LeBron, is genius. He has you all fooled.

And I quote:

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.

The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't.

The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back.

That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"

July 1st-The Pledge

July 8th (morning)- The Turn

July 8th (tonight) - The Prestige

LeBron just gave you "The Turn" and everyone is biting hook ,line and sinker...

Isn't it obvious? Miami was "The Prestige" all along. Duh

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

If this happens the closest comparison would be the Yankees and all the FA pitchers that run there. Its not against the rules to have a payroll that is twice as much as the avg teams, because it doesn't go against there sports rules. If Lebron joins them in Miami, none of them have skirted any rules. They want to win. Not trying to be a hypocrite because I wasn't giving him a hard time about his beloved Yankees. Trust me if the NFL ever went without a championship, you better believe my Cowboys would accumulate as much FA talent as Jones' deep pockets can handle. All in the name of winning.

It's not even close.

The Yankees are established, the Heat isn't.

Not sure how I feel about 3 stars running the league they want to to suit their needs.

I blame Stern just as much, though.

Then I'll eat crow. But he's not going to play in Miami. Not a chance.

He didn't call this "the biggest Free Agency in the history of the NBA" to play in Wade County. It's Cavs or Knicks.

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

I went to RealGM and they're saying LeBron is unofficially a member of the Heat.

I'm just going to wait until tonight and not even bother checking anymore.
