    7 years to put together a team for LeBron and not even close.
    Give bad long term contracts to mediocre players.

    LeBron leaves, at least, support the dude for giving Cavaliers 7 great years.

    All this bashing of LeBron is too much and uncalled for.

    Cavs owner totally went over the line with his comments.
    I'd say making the finals is about as close as it gets. Right now Cav fans are like the guy who got dumped by a hot girl, then he(fans, and Gilbert) starts spreading nasty rumors about her(Lebron).

      Ill be honest. You can go search back and see for yourself.

      I was the only one in here that had a problem with all of this pandering and how these 3 were holding up the rest of the league, how teams tanked years for this summer only to disappoint fans, and I said they all knew what they wanted to do already.

      I was argued down about it how they didnt know and so on, and next thing we know a couple of hours later there is an announcement than an ESPN special will be on.

      Did I like the tv thing, heck no.. do I feel CLE's pain.. the fans sure I do. Do I care for all of this ridiculous hatred by people who you never even see post here? Heck no, and I hope the new rules are implemented soon so we can ban all of the folks coming here for the sole reason of spitting vitriol

        Personally, I would say about 90% of Cavaliers fans on OS have shown an extreme amount of restraint and class. Especially when looking at Cavaliers message boards.
        Agreed...but I think you guys all knew in your hearts when he was booed off the floor in the playoffs this would be a strong possibility

          from everything i heard lebron is the one that signed off on bringing guys like shaq and jamison in. dude had the best record in the nba and cleveland didnt do enough to help him? i guess having 2 all star caliber players (Mo and Jamison) isnt enough to win rings no more.

          bottom line and this is my opinion he took the Coward way out. Jordan,Kobe,bird,Magic ect... earned there rings they didnt go join there Rivals to win one.

            Okay, I actually agree with you. A lot.

            I was under the impression that you were saying LeBron had free roam here to do what he wanted. But it appears that is not what you are saying.

            LeBron could go where ever he wants. Miami, New York, Siberia, who cares? The way he handled it...he deserves all the hate for that and his self promoting, childish actions the past...I don't know, week and a half.

              Wow but the former GM from the Blazers mentioned that if your team doesn't have enough cap space they can sign players for the league minimum and he mentioned 150K I think it was 150K

                It's clear to me now that last year was LeBron's last year from the get go. He was going to leave no matter what. LeBron, Bosh and Wade wanted to play together.

                I'm still pissed that he quit, and I do think he quit in Game 5. He deserved to be booed out of the building.

                  To be fair, they made a lot of those moves to appease LeBron. Do you think CLE really wanted to go get Antawn Jamison? No, but Bron said he needed another piece. I think the owner (Gilbert) will put all this stuff out in the open over the next couple weeks.

                    Im sorry man but I wish everyone would stop using the regular season record to justify losing in the post season. Its not even the same thing. Ask Dirk

                    Mo and Jamison have never been considered integral pieces in any championship team, they're both defensive sieves and one is old, and owed a ton of money while the other isnt good enough to check his opponent

                      I think people didnt commit to CLE because they werent sure if he would. I wont say he came in the season thinking its his last year there, who knows what would've happened had they won.

                        If Dan Gilbert has any intelligence at all he will sleep on it tonight and see what an idiot he was and decide to keep his mouth shut from here on out. Superstars of LeBron's caliber always have pull in damn near everything, he isnt any different, and if Gilbert thinks hes going to lure a big name to Cleveland then he better think before he spouts off anymore.

                            That's hilarious. Anyways, I was hoping for a "I'm leaving the nba for the nfl." That would have been awesome.

                              Nah the absolute minimum (for a rookie) in the offseason is 473k for this year. A long time vet makes more, depending on how many years they have spent in the league.

                                Nobody was holding up jack crap.

                                James was an idiot for having a special though.

                                The flow is perfectly fine, everyone is settling in with plenty of time before training camp.

                                Saying they were holding up everything is a load of garbage.
