We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. That summer of 2010 was pretty much every man/team for himself. Sure there were people that thought Lebron would never leave and another high profile free agent might join him there. But why would anyone but Cav fans be rooting for that to happen?
LBJ had just "given up" on Cleveland in the Cavs vs. Celtics series. I don't recall the win one for Cleveland sentiment coming from Bulls, Nets, and Knicks fans that summer. The vast majority wanted LBJ, and thought the best way to get him was to acquire as much talent as possible to play with him. Well the blueprint to getting LBJ was correct but it happened in a way and in a place no one imagined. That's when it turned.
I hear you, but where's the line?
If he signed with Chicago to join Rose and they signed Boozer would that be OK? If he joins Amare in NY and they sign a borderline all-star is that OK?
If Kevin Love forces his way out of Minny and somehow ended up in OKC with Durant and Westbrook are we OK with that? It's seems we all understand no one can win a championship by themselves, but we don't want them to get too much help.
This league is all about acquiring and retaining talent. People went nuts when the Lakers got Nash and Dwight. But the results showed that winning with a stacked team is not as always as easy as it appears. I personally can't hold it against any team or player doing whatever they can to win.
