VSN LeBron Watch

[mgoblue2290]

I hope he stays in Cleveland for 2 reasons. One, so I can laugh at all these NBA teams who cleared this cap space and didn't get him or hopefully any other guys. Two, in the long run LeBron winning a title in Cleveland would be more meaningful than on other team.

Who cares about the Clevelandites.

LeBron winning in NY would be the most meaningful (see Messier).

This.

Say what you will about restoring glory to New York/Jersey or even Chicago, Cleveland is where he's from and where he started his NBA career. If he leaves and wins somewhere else, someone's always gonna call him a quitter.

And - this is very debatable - but I don't think Chicago needs him to win a championship. Maybe immediately, but I think they have the pieces to get there in a few years.

And if he goes to Miami, he's gonna look like he was - to some extent - riding Dwayne's coattails. Not much, but it's a discussable problem.

If he goes to New York OR New Jersey/Brooklyn, it's pretty obviously going to be his team, but I don't even really find those conceivable because:

1 - He might actually have less to work with either of those teams.

2 - I know New York really wants him, but besides Jigga, I haven't heard too much out of the Brooklyn camp. Of course, everybody wants him, but I don't think Prokhorov is as pre-occupied with the acquisition of LeBron as everyone else.

The more I think about it, the more him staying in Cleveland seems to make sense.

Edit: In New York, he'd get Amar'e, but has Amar'e been that big of a deal as of late?

Lebron isn't leaving. Like Empire said most of the reports now are about Lebron recruiting for Cleveland. I was rooting for him to leave solely because it would be interesting and I like to see interesting things happen.

 

[Fox1994]

HoodyAllen, I know you reside in SoFla, but as a Kid Cudi fan do you feel the need to root for Cleveland teams?

What color is the bird?

[Argath]

I'm about to bring out that thread where the knicks fans were calling me an idiot for saying Lebron stays in cleveland


Also lol @ the people who said the Clippers were the best place for him to go

 

[Woy]

He's going to the Harlem Globetrotters.

 

[Coked Up Elmo]

he will be in cle with an option after 3 years so he can do this all over again, oh and chris bosh you are retarded, you could come to cle and play with lebron and get 30 million more in a sign and trade but you wont, well then if you are too stupid to do that than maybe we are better off without you, dumbass motherfucker

 

[Golden Taters]

He's going to the Harlem Globetrotters.

So is Allen Iverson :yep:

still might be a sign and trade to miami for chalmers + TPE + 2 firsts, what would you rather do, play with LeBron and have to live in Cleveland or go play with Wade and live in Miami?

Who would you rather play with.

Dwayne Wade
(Only man on the books if the trade you proposed goes through)

OR

Mo Williams, Hedo Turk, Lebron, Verajoe/Big Z
(based on ESPN Rumors of trade of Powe, West, Jamison, Moon + Draft Pick for Hedo/Bosh)


I'd go for the team that's not going to end up with a bunch of minimum salary players.

 

[Argath]

Right out of Lebron camp

UPDATE No. 2 Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports adds this on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon: "Cavs officials are confident of two things now, multiple sources say: Chris Bosh won't play for them next season, but LeBron James will. Bosh has long made it clear that he doesn't want to play in Cleveland, and LeBron knew it was a longshot to sell him on it. Cavs understand there are still looming threats to pry LeBron, but getting Bosh isn't make or break on keeping LBJ."

 

[Rayman]

I'll say this.

As long as that fucker doesn't go to the Nets, Heat or Bulls, I'm cool.

:redsmug:

 

[FedEx227]

So apparently he's doing a 1 hour special Thursday on ESPN to announce where he's going.

Now, I'm one of the biggest LeBron fans you'll meet, I'll back the guy to the death but this is getting excessive now. I'm losing a lot of respect for him.

 

[FedEx227]

And again, I love the guy. Been to his games in Chicago, went to Milwaukee three times to watch him play. Own jerseys, t-shirts, etc. but that's some bullshit. Not giving teams prior notice, making this into a TV special... this is getting ridiculous.

 

[Chrispy]

Hence KING James

 

[EmpireWF]

and millions will watch

the guy has some balls, give em that much

 

[Chrispy]

I see him resigning with Cleveland but i would go absolutely crazy if he signed with the Knicks.

All proceeds for it are going to charity, it's not like he's pocketing the money.



I'm gonna have to agree with Rayman and pray to god he sits down at a table with 3 hats and selects one like he's comitting to college.


Would bring some major lulz
