Okay seriously ..... people need to just cut it out. I mean, I know Ohio had a bunch of crazies living there but OH MY GOSH, these Cav fans are making even the usual crazies look bad :/

I mean really, even the Owner called his switch to the Miami Heat a "Cowardly Betrayal" ...... excuse me :/

I can see if the Ohioans knew deep down in their tender hearts that LeBron was going to stay ... but they knew darn well that after 7 years of barely making the damn Playoffs that LeBron would go elsewhere -- its been talked about for nearly two years now, this was no shock, it was only a matter of time.

He was tired of carrying the Cavaliers on his back for 7 freaking years and then getting disappointed each time. Hey, if it were me, I would've done the same thing in the same fashion too. Why not? If other athletes can profit off of their own successes, why can't he? So what that he did a press confernece, did you all expect anything different? He's a business man and he is very intelligent -- he knows what's going to generate what he needs and he did just that.

LeBron couldn't just go to the Miami Heat without hype ARE YOU KIDDING ME? He's teaming up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh

THAT'S EPIC AS HELL!!!!

LeBron (Capricorn)

Dwayne (Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp)

Chris (Pisces-Aries Cusp)

Those 2 together on the SAME TEAM!!! YOU CAN ONLY DREAM OF THAT.


LOL!!! And people are pissed about why he hyped the whole thing up so much. Oh no no no no no, everybody else has hyped this up and all LeBron did was cash in on it 😉 Nothing wrong with that, it's called 'knowing what the hell you are doing'. Also, it would've been the stupidest move in NBA history for LeBron to stay with the Cavaliers and that's why he didn't do it 🙂

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO START 😄!!!

The NBA should look into this. It reeks of tampering. The entire free agency debacle this summer is causing a lot of headaches for a lot of owners and a lot of teams. I'm not at all surprised at the Cavaliers Owner wrote up a letter to the fans saying how pissed off he was at losing LeBron. The entire organization not only lost a marketable asset which means they lost a lot in terms of marketing and revenue by having one of the biggest stars in the game leave their team. That entire franchise is in shambles now and they'll be terrible for the next decade. Although he did take a huge paycut by accepting $ 15 mil less than a max contract would offer it still doesn't make up for the bullshit everyone had to go through. He left money on the table to pursue a Championship ring and I see the reasoning behind it. But you also have to take into consideration that Miami also isn't that big of a market in terms of the NBA. If LeBron wanted to make a smart business move he should have went to Chicago or New York. Not only would he have received the max but he would be raking it in in terms of advertising and sponsors.

The signing of LeBron also means that Erik Spoelstra will soon be out of a job in Miami because we all know Pat Riley will be taking the head coaching duties when the team starts to stink up the joint. Because managing those three egos takes a certain kind of coach.

Sure having Three All-Stars on one team might seem nice but as a avid sports viewer I don't want to watch a free throw competition every time the Heat play. LeBron and Wade command a lot of attention due to their style of play. These two players alone will average around 10-15 free throw attempts per game each. This is going to lead to the opposing teams players fouling out way before the second half even begins. I'll still tune in but mostly because I want to see the other teams just take it to them and having money on the line and what not. The minute Bosh and Wade go down due to injury it'll just be LeBron and a bunch of scrubs on the court. It'll be just like playing in Cleveland all over again. Most of these games will be blowouts.

Oh and the fact that the Heat only have a small amount of money, about 9.5 mil, to sign free agents with only 5 players under contract for the current season. They need to fill out a 15 man roster. That's going to be one shitty bench and it's going to be a long 82 games.

So do I -- 2 is not a winner and 3 no body remembers 😉 The man got tired of coming up short when he knew out of those 7 damn years of being in Ohio, he could've gotten a ring by now. It would be different if he was just a mediocre player but he's ... NOT. He's the shit and he knows it.

But you also have to take into consideration that Miami also isn't that big of a market in terms of the NBA. If LeBron wanted to make a smart business move he should have went to Chicago or New York. Not only would he have received the max but he would be raking it in in terms of advertising and sponsors.

EXACTLY! In the 2nd part of my OP, I mentioned the Bulls (Chicago), I only mentioned the Pistons because as a fan that just would've been SWEET to death to have him here and we are all about DETROIT BASKETBALL over here 😄 I said the Phoenix Suns because I thought he and Steve Nash would work well together and he would have a soild (Piston 2004-2006 like) team already put together. I kinda knew he wasn't going to New York, they wanted him and they courted him but I just knew that it wasn't happening -- LeBron wants a ring in 2011. Plus, I didn't want him to pass Chicago for New York Anyway.

To be honest man, if his best friend (D-Wade) and one of the better players in the NBA (Bosh) didn't sign with the Heat, LeBron would've went to Chicago -- I'd bet 2 million (that I don't have to give) on that one. If he didn't want to play with those two, he would be wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey right now.

I know, but like I said, LeBron wants a ring in 2011 or 2012 -- I believe the Bulls would've been ready but not New York.


The signing of LeBron also means that Erik Spoelstra will soon be out of a job in Miami because we all know Pat Riley will be taking the head coaching duties when the team starts to stink up the joint. Because managing those three egos takes a certain kind of coach.

See, I would agree with you if LeBron wasn't apart of the 3 -- to me, LeBron knows how to be a leader but he has to have people that can listen (unlike the Cavaliers). I show his leadership abilities in the 2008 Olympics -- when the USA Basketball Team actually won GOLD, unlike when we had that douche Allen Iverson ....

And Pat Riley is okay but I think we should focus on the coach that got right now and that's Erik.

Dammmmmnnnnn!!! The season hasn't started yet, don't talk about injuries right now. Listen, I don't think it's going to be a free-throwing contest because of what's at sake. Do you think these 3 players don't know how much hating they are going to get UNTIL the playoffs. They know it, yes they KNOW!!! And like I said, LeBron is a smart man and so is Wade, actually Wade may have the edge over LeBron a bit but he doesn't have LeBron's skill level. Those two just have to keep Chris Bosh in line, I think if his head gets over blown, things will be over sooner rather than later. Although, I think Bosh is good to go because he knows what's at sake here.

I didn't think either man will let history escape their finger-tips due to egos.


Oh and the fact that the Heat only have a small amount of money, about 9.5 mil, to sign free agents with only 5 players under contract for the current season. They need to fill out a 15 man roster. That's going to be one shitty bench and it's going to be a long 82 games.

Why does the bench have to be shitty— Dude, do you know the guys that want to play alongside these 3 guys. If the free agents were smart, they would take the play cut and go to the Heat because if rings come, it will all be worth it.


The funny thing is all of this is happening and the league still hasn't come up with a new CBA. If things go to hell there might not even be another NBA season this year due to a lockout.

I'm worried about that ... they need to get that shit together.

I disagree with you on him wanting to win in Cleveland. The guy quit on his team in the last game in the Eastern Semis against Boston. He was already thinking of greener pastures before the series was over. Real Champions don't do that. Look at Kobe he's stayed with the same team his entire career and managed to get his due. Albeit, he's always been on stacked teams except during the span of 2006-08 which could be considered an aberration to what LA was used to having.

Phoenix and Detroit didn't have the viable assets or capspace to acquire talent like LeBron. Not to mention both teams are in full rebuild mode now. LeBron wouldn't have considered those teams at all. They're also small markets.

I do agree that if it weren't for the re-up of Wade and the pick up of Bosh he would have thought otherwise. I just don't like how everything took place. It just stinks of tampering. Plus the media circus that came with it was just absolutely ridiculous. So much speculation on who was going where. Gave a ton of people migraines. The rumour mills were having a field day this offseason.

Wait so you're telling me the Big 3 won't be getting star calls all season long? It will definitely be a free throw shooting competition. All three players attack the rim consistently and will be going to the line. Stats will back this up completely. Stern isn't going to let other teams hack the crap out of his stars anyway. The man is going to protect his assets. He's also shown that he'll turn a blind eye to how refs manage the game. NBA officials have been known to tamper and blow their whistles at non calls for years now. The league is also adjusted to accommodate towards offensive players especially with offensive 3 seconds and the no handchecking rules in place. This gives teams two options, either let them go unmolested to the rack or hack them and put them on the line. It's going to be some boring basketball once teams figure out they can't defend them with the odd highlight here and there in the latter parts of the season. It's going to be worse than watching the Spurs in a barnburner with Minnesota.

The Bench is definitely going to be shitty. People will sign but they won't be high or mid level caliber players. The free agent market right now is sparse and there aren't any good unrestricted talent leftover. They also won't have any money to have to sign restricted free agents either because teams will match their offers and then they will be left with crap. Why would any other organization agree to letting their good players go to win a ring when you're trying to do the same thing without having Miami poach their guys.

I disagree on your disagreeing. So people are in it for the long haul and that's cool and noble and all things *good* for those who are like that. But LeBron isn't like that and I don't think he should be like that because people expect him to be. After the ass kicking Boston gave them the game before the final nail in the coffin, did anyone expect him to be in high-spirits or to even try? Where the Cavs lost was around the same EXACT SPOT the Cavs have lost in last year or the year before. OMG, how much can one guy take, when he KNOWS that his team could've done better. Like I said, the man couldn't do it alone and towards the end of the final game he had with the Cavs, he knew he couldn't do it alone anymore.

If it were me, I would've told the coach to bench me in the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, there's no way I would've played -- after 7 years of going through that, I would've been over it all too.


Look at Kobe he's stayed with the same team his entire career and managed to get his due. Albeit, he's always been on stacked teams except during the span of 2006-08 which could be considered an aberration to what LA was used to having.

Exactly, Kobe is a terrible example because he's always been on a relatively decent/ damn good team, so he wouldn't give up because he didn't have to.

I do agree that if it weren't for the re-up of Wade and the pick up of Bosh he would have thought otherwise. I just don't like how everything took place. It just stinks of tampering. Plus the media circus that came with it was just absolutely ridiculous. So much speculation on who was going where. Gave a ton of people migraines. The rumour mills were having a field day this offseason.

All the drama was kind of a good talk, it has people talking, SOOOO many people will be paying attention to the NBA and that hasn't happened in years, plus it's good profit for all that are involved. Things happened this way for a reason -- was LeBron behind most it, sure he was. Why? Because he's a business man, he knew all this was going to happen, he even knew his image would take a hit. However, he knew that it would be the best move ever made in the NBA and he wanted to be apart of it. I can't blame him.

Heckie no! hahahahaha!!! With all the stuff that happened to Kobe and Nash, DO YOU THINK other players are going to go easy on them———?? EXPECIALLY since these are the Big 3 on one team? No way, no how, screw the rules, the players barely follow them anyway so I doubt if people are going to be playing NBA basketball strictly by the book now. This is going to be some good basketball, I can see it all now -- an hour of ESPN completely devoted to talking about James-Wade-Bosh LOL!!!!!!!!!

The Bench is definitely going to be shitty. People will sign but they won't be high or mid level caliber players.

hmmmm have to wait and see on the talent, just because there's not alot of attention on any guys in particular doesn't mean they all go from decent to suckie. Remember, all that attention are Darko going to the Piston some years back, look how the hell that turned out.

We're talking about the guy who singlehandedly beat Detroit, and a good Detroit at that, to take his team to the Finals against the Spurs. Sure he eventually lost but he's shown that he could take his team to the next level with shitty talent behind him. The way he conducted himself this offseason really painted a bad picture of him.

A good profit for those involved at the cost of other franchises and fans. We'll definitely be seeing the parity in the league in the games to come. People will tune in to pour on the hate and there will be insurmountable expectations put onto the Heat. We'll just see how things turn out. LeBron will now be on Wade's team and his legacy is done. He also has an option for the 4th year of his contract so that he can bail out if nothing pans out.

That was exactly my point. Teams won't go easy on them at all. That's why it'll be a free throw shooting contest. You only have 6 fouls per player to give per game. Having any of the three go to the line that much is going to leave a lot of teams shorthanded. We'll be seeing a bunch of scrubs trying to compete against 3 of the top players in the league all the while trying not to commit fouls to worsen their situation.

Have you seen the free agent talent pool? They're mostly burnouts and role players. Every other team, especially the ones with capspace, will do whatever they can to pick these guys up and Miami will have to pick up the scraps. You can even say those other teams are willing to overpay so that Miami can't get anyone. Aside from the big 3, Joe Johnson and Carlos Boozer you have some very mediocre talent leftover. What are the Heat going to do sign an aging Shaq and the once revered malcontent Iverson to minimum contracts? Shaq would be an alright pickup but would you really want Iverson and his already inflated ego to come in and be a black hole to stagnate the offense for hi one man show? Again the talent pool is weak and no one is going to allow Miami to get stronger now.

I agree, he got some bad press but hey we can't all stay clean forever. A few bad hooks adds character, like on the court. The average player who gets hook in the face learns a hell of alot afterwards and how not to let it happen often.

I can tell you aren't too happy with LeBron's decision ^_^. While I'm thrilled by it! I like off-the-wall stuff like this, it makes for compelling real-life situations, which is alot better than T.V. shows. There's gonna be a ton of hate I know, but there's going to be a tone of LOVE too DK. LeBron still have a shit load of fans who wanted him to go to the Heat with they saw the other 2 sign on. Plus, you got Wade's fans who are excited that he might actually get a right and Bosh's cult fan base who thought he always got a raw deal to be such a good player. You may be mad now but just wait and see.

Like I said, I wait and see with the rest of the 15.

Bosh's Cult fanbase will diminish severely now. Most of those fans he had were from Toronto and they are not happy at all with this. People will tune in to see these guys lose. Not saying they will lose but people will root for the underdog more than ever now. I will be one of those people. I will admit that this shit was fun to read about but this was just fucking bananas. I still don't think they'll get any good pickups to fill out that roster.

I understand that but were all the theatrics and big meetings necessary? Sure it makes for good TV but really? Really—




Yes 🙂 Why? Because he didn't generate all that stuff, everybody else did. Do people not think all that stuff got on his nerves too? So instead of ducking and hiding, he made the media work for him and that's how you do it when you have big things happening like this.

LeBron did exactly how he's supposed to do. Way to have the balls and intelligence to make an intelligent career move. Kobe has 5 rings. King James has to get his. There have been super teams before so his move to the Heat isnt a big deal.

I like the fact that he did it for the ring and not for money bc as we all know..King James took a pay cut.
Bravo young brotha




Maybe it's because we are both capricorns SC lol -- I'm a December born cap and seriously, I would've done things like LeBron too, I mean, why not? He's a star, he knows it and he made the media work for him. Not many stars can do that and I like it 😄

I agree, he had the balls to do it and I'm a bigger fan now that he did leave the Cavs and decided to be part of the super times.

Like I said, maybe its my capricorn nature but I know business isn't always pretty, you will upset some people but hey, that's just how it goes sometimes.

i still got love for lebron, but my respect for'em did diminish a lil..

he just showed the world that he wasn't a true leader..he's more like a scottie pippen and he'd rather let d wade be his MJ..

and regardless of how many rings he get with the heat(if any), he'll never be truly respected like mj,magic,bird, duncan and kobe...lebron has the physical ability to be better then all of those players i mentioned, but his heart doesn't come close to them...the way he played overall in that boston series was a perfect example..the way he QUIT on his team for whatever reason( i think it had something to do with delonte west poking his mother, imo )was so unreal, that people actually thought he may have been hurt,lol...

i still wish the best for'em, but i can't believe that a king would decide to give up his crown, become a 2nd class citizen, and move to WADE county,smh...

So ........ James loses his crown just because he switches teams, and decides to play with other good players instead of ones that are just .... not good :/

I guess I see things different because I've ALWAYS wanted James and Wade to be on the same team and I thought it was a bum deal that they weren't on the same team -- until now that is 😄

I'm all about the Pomp and Circumstance when it comes to things like this and these two bring it with fire -- with Bosh added on, it just brings more flavor.

The whole comparing James to MJ is alittle premature but people just keep doing that, the man has got to get at LEAST one ring first. Like I said LEASE one ring first and that would have never ever ever ever evvvveeeeerrrrrr happened in Cleveland -- sorry, its the truth -- they may have came close in 2020 but for heaven's sakes, who in the hell wants to wait that long when you know you could get one.

Cavs could have won the Eastern Conference and a ring in 2007 and 2009 but they blew it and LeBron just got tired of it.

If it were me, I would done the same thing but ... I may have been alittle worse -- I'd do a HUGE press conference with the best marching band in the country playing as I walk in to take a seat 😄

See, I could get away with all that because I'm the star, you dig 😉

LeBron played his cards right with this one and if he has people hating him until his dying day, then thats fine. In the end, its better to do what you feel is right, rather than what ever one wants you to do.

True, LeBron's fan's help create his entire persona, but his fans do not own him and I think that's something they will have to come to grips with.

^^ yea its very rare for a lady to be so into sports..whoever you with is a lucky man!(unless he don't like sports)..but i gotta disagree with you on this comment:

"So ........ James loses his crown just because he switches teams, and decides to play with other good players instead of ones that are just .... not good :/"

^^ the cavs finished with the best record in the league two years in a row so you can't say that...yea lebron was the main factor for those wins, but he most definetly couldn't have done that without them..


it took jordan 7 years before he won his 1st of 6 titles..i pretty sure he had doubts about his team too, but he grinded it out and it paid off..lebron just punked out

I see what you sayin D but...

His stats aint goin nowhere..they're in the books
He's hall of fame bound
He's decisive which is what makes him such a great player
He's not gonna end up like Ewing and Barkley
He's already got gold medals
Probably gonna end up a record-breaker in several categories if he doesnt die or get hurt
Nobody got mad when Shaq went to Lakers with Kobe
Remember when Penny got hung out to dry?
LeBron has given the Cavs 7 years to surround him with something decent EXCEPT money..7 years a long time

If I was James I wouldnt even care when people compare me to Jordan and Kobe. Id be like good for them. Imma get Me.

Id go to the Heat just bc if I were James I would think I deserve a lil break from carrying a garbage organization. Relax a lil. I mean.......Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Nate Robinson, Rondo....

But I do see where you comin from also

Exactly my point, LeBron was the main factor and HE knew that. Yes, he knew, he knew, he knew and those that were were not in denial knew that too. That's the only reason they finished with the best record, however, a best record doesn't get you any rings. LeBron wants rings now and that's his goal. I don't blame him. Sometimes, we (ourselves) know when to change course, we don't need some disaster to happen, we just know when it's time to start moving -- and that's what LeBron did.

I firmly believe that there is no I in team, BUT there ia an I in win my dear. And LeBron wants to win.

^^ yea its very rare for a lady to be so into sports..whoever you with is a lucky man!(unless he don't like sports)..but i gotta disagree with you on this comment:

"So ........ James loses his crown just because he switches teams, and decides to play with other good players instead of ones that are just .... not good :/"

^^ the cavs finished with the best record in the league two years in a row so you can't say that...yea lebron was the main factor for those wins, but he most definetly couldn't have done that without them..


it took jordan 7 years before he won his 1st of 6 titles..i pretty sure he had doubts about his team too, but he grinded it out and it paid off..lebron just punked out




Thank you for the compliment by the way ^_^. A Saggie ex of mine thought it was cool that I really knew sports and kind debate with him without going *shrugs* lol

I see what you sayin D but...

His stats aint goin nowhere..they're in the books
He's hall of fame bound
He's decisive which is what makes him such a great player
He's not gonna end up like Ewing and Barkley
He's already got gold medals
Probably gonna end up a record-breaker in several categories if he doesnt die or get hurt
Nobody got mad when Shaq went to Lakers with Kobe
Remember when Penny got hung out to dry?
LeBron has given the Cavs 7 years to surround him with something decent EXCEPT money..7 years a long time

If I was James I wouldnt even care when people compare me to Jordan and Kobe. Id be like good for them. Imma get Me.

Id go to the Heat just bc if I were James I would think I deserve a lil break from carrying a garbage organization. Relax a lil. I mean.......Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce, Nate Robinson, Rondo....

But I do see where you comin from also



I totally get all of this. It's just instead of taking a good week followed by intense media scrutiny to make a decision to sign with Miami LeBron should have just been honest and upfront with Cleveland management and given them a heads up to his plans. Now the franchise has to suffer because not only did they lose out on the LeBron sweepstakes but now they have to scramble to recoup their losses whereas if James had told them beforehand about his decision they could have worked out a deal for both sides and could have curbed the blow just a little. Both parties could have saved face if the entire process wasn't such a goddamn farce.

And a bunch of Orlando magic fans did get mad when Shaq went to the Lakers. You can't just say nobody got mad at Shaq for going to the Lakers because it just wasn't true. Same thing happened but the backlash wasn't as prominent as it was with these recent events. We could go into detail about the parallels between the two signings but it would be mere semantics by that point.

Oh and Nate Robinson. No. KG, Allen, Pierce, Rondo and maybe Big Baby but not Nate-Rob. Just no.

Oh plleaaaasssseee DK, come man, now you know as well as I do that the fans were alittle pissed with Shaq but lets just be real for a minute ... they wanted Shaq and Kobe to play together! They were calling them the dream team! I was around, I remember, so no, it's a
