By the night's end, Bron-bron will be a Cavalier or a Knick. I'd almost bet the house on it if I had a house.

A.I. close ,but Kobe was crying for an out before they signed Gasol.

And we can agree to disagree about how different playoffs are.

You're jumping subjects. We were talking about a player carrying his team, not whether or not they asked for help or threatened to leave bc of it.

We can disagree if you want, but it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day only one team wins a championship every year and no team is ever handed the title. Organizations do what they can to put you in position to win a championship. What you're saying is the Cavs failed to do that but they've put together a team that has won 60+ games two years in a row, #1 seeds in the playoffs which should give you the best possible chance of advancing farther, and have lost to the eventual representative in the championship the last two years in a row. Based on what they built around (LBJ) they put together a team good enough to take their shot just like ORL, BOS, and LAL. The biggest issue has been Brown and I'm pretty sure he stuck around bc Lebron wanted him to. The team is better than they get credit for and being cap strapped and led by an idiot is partially Lebron's fault.

The whole point to this is having those 3 guys together "guarantees" LBJ his championship. You already have the ESPN talking heads saying the Heat will win 65 games next year.

Who wants to give me some odds on the Heat not having the #1 seed in the East?

I was talking about consistently carrying a team season in season out. Thats why I brought up Kobe.

Reason's why he stays in cleveland
1. Bosh's 1st choice was to play with Lebron, dont you think he wouldve waited to see where he landed before committing?

Maybe he knew that all of them would team up in Miami from the beginning. I'm sure they already know what he's doing by now. Wade and Bosh that is.
2. All the other teams in the hunt already signed free agents, dont you think they would have waited so they could land bosh and lebron?

None of them know where LeBron is going. He's left all of his suitors in the dark. They've all just given up on him or enacted Plan B.
3. He isnt turning his back on the cavs and being the most hated player in the NBA

Why not? We all thought he'd never be on twitter or have his own website and he does now. We never thought he'd be self-centered enough to announce his decision on an hour long special on ESPN but he has. Nothing he does surprised me any more.
4. CP3 and Mike Miller have been at LBJ's camp, you dont think anything was discussed about them being teammates?

No.
5. Bosh took his second best option in wade and the Heat

Or his best option in Wade, LeBron, and the Heat

I think LeBron has learned regular season means nothing besides getting to the playoffs.

They're literally dragging his name through the mud. Insults on top of insults, all the while complaining about the NBA cap system and how teams should only be able to sign a single elite player.

Gotcha. Irrelevant really to the main discussion so fair enough. I'd still say all the current Cavs would be considered much better if they did they just won. It's the warped perspective that people have of things. But with that said, he does carry more weight than anyone else in the league.

I've never seen a city turn on a player as quickly as Cleveland has turned on LeBron. Not for a decision that hasn't been made yet.
