LeBron James Opts Out

[Riverboat Ron]

I call conspiracy if he lands back in Cleveland after they've miraculously won 3 out of 4 top overall lottery picks. In all seriousness though, I think a dark horse wheels and deals to create a new dream team.

If there's going to be a new "dream team" with Lebron on it, it'll be in Miami.

 

Though I'd love to see Lebron, Irving, and Love together in Cleveland...

[SOJA]

lmao.. somebody did all of the work for everyone.  Except apparently the bobcats are still a team.

 

 

 

that Heat photo shop is terrible, can totally tell that's not a real jersey and looks like it was drawn on in MS paint

[mav1234]

Not that his legacy matters a poo ton, but I think LBJ should either go back to Cleveland, or stay with Miami.  It'd be nice to see him back to the Cavs at some point in his career, and I think that he could actually bring a championship to Ohio this time around, but I don't begrudge him anywhere he goes, so long as he doesn't make another TV special.

Well he got his man Shabazz I guess he is staying, not sure why we helped the Heat?

[mav1234]

The Cavs roster right now, with Lebron, would be better than the Heat roster right now, with Lebron, I think. But... there's a lot of time left in free agency, and that will likely change.  There was word from Kevin Love earlier he would resign long-term with Cleveland if LeBron goes there this year and Love gets traded there.  That could be a potential crazy team.

 

Both clubs offer him basically the same easy path to the finals every year because of how shitty the east is.

I could see Lebron re-signing with the Heat for a year or 2 but he has to know that their window is closing fast.  Unless Bosh and particularly Wade take paycuts so they can add some more talent, I cant see Lebron staying there long term

James will sign for less and the heat will somehow ruin the NBA with a top UFA signing making the big four.

In retrospect, a lot of things need to happen but it's possible. That said:

Pat Riley > Dan Gilbert

That doesn't mean much. Sarah Palin is less of a tool then Dan Gilbert. That guy is atop my list of least favorite figures in sports

[rmoneyg35]

The only name that could cause that would be Carmelo and I severely doubt we'll sign him.

Never know there could be the big 4. When it comes to winning people will do a lot. I hope it doesn't happen because it will ruin the NBA.

Oh yes it does. The amount of poo he talked and the decisions he's made in the post-LeBron era do play a factor.

I know it does. That's why Gilbert is a tool. He talked a bunch of poo like a teenager when Lebron left and now is hoping he will come back. I was simply saying that just because Riley is better then Gilbert, doesn't mean Riley is that great.

definitely, and I think that Lebron's next contract is when he'd be more likely to become a Cav.

 

Gilbert's an asshat and I can't imagine Lebron would want to play for him again, but it's possible that other factors may draw him to Cleveland more.
