Lebron to make decision Thurs on one-hour ESPN Special

[dallaskd]

LeBron James will announce the team with which he will sign during a one-hour special on ESPN Thursday night, ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard has learned through independent sources.


ESPN would only confirm that active discussions for the special are ongoing. But sources tell Broussard that representatives for James contacted the network, proposing that James makes his announcement during a 9 p.m. ET special.


Those sources said that James's representatives requested they be allowed to sell sponsorship for the one-hour special, with the proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and that ESPN agreed to the proposal but had not been told what James has decided.


The NBA's most prized free agent opened a Twitter account on Tuesday and posted his first message on the social networking site. While he provided no information about his future plans, at least he offered something as the NBA awaits the decision on where he'll play next.


"Hello World, the Real King James is in the Building," said the tweet on the kingjames feed, which by 9 p.m. EDT had more than 167,000 followers.


James' publicist, Keith Estabrook, confirmed the superstar's entrance to Twitter, a place where fellow prized free agents Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh often post details about their public lives off the floor.

James' plans still are a closely guarded secret. He visited with six teams -- the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls -- last week at his business offices in downtown Cleveland and may have made up his mind already. But until he gives word, other teams are positioning themselves to make a run at the 6-foot-8, 260-pound All-Star -- or Bosh or Wade, or maybe a combination.


There have been various reports that the Toronto Raptors were working on a sign-and-trade deal with Cleveland for Bosh, and that James is trying to convince him to join the Cavaliers.

Both James and Bosh are aware that such a trade is possible, and James has tried to recruit Bosh to the Cavaliers several times in the past few weeks, sources told Broussard.


But right now, Bosh remains cold to the idea of playing in Cleveland.


Like James, Wade and Bosh have remained noncommittal about where they'll sign.


The Cavaliers are hopeful that will change, because in Cleveland, Bosh can meet two of his top priorities: playing with James, and getting a six-year, $125 million contract.


If Bosh joins a team without doing a sign-and-trade, he will be able to sign only a five-year deal worth $96 million. He is determined not to leave that $29million on the table, sources told Broussard.


Although Bosh wants to play with James, he wants to do it in Chicago, Miami or New Jersey. Sources told Broussard he has told the Raptors those are the teams he would like to go to in a sign-and-trade.


Unsure of James' decision, the Nets have a Plan B in case he rejects their offer.


The agent for Knicks forward David Lee says the Nets have talked to him several times since free agency began on Thursday.


An official within the league who is very close to the Nets' management team said the team would also consider going after Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer if James rejected the offer that was presented by new owner Mikhail Prokhorov and a team that included hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.


Nets president and general manager Rod Thorn said in a text message on Tuesday that there was nothing to report on the free agency front.


Asked about the Nets' options if The King nixes their overtures, Thorn wrote:


"We will look at other options if we don't get one of the top guys."


While James is the star attraction in this summer's stacked class of free agents, other players have either stayed home or found a new one. On Monday, Amare Stoudemire agreed to a five-year deal with the Knicks and said he would continue to recruit James to join him.

Okay, I've been chill with the over-the-top FA process thus far, but this is unadulterated attention whoring from LeBron.

This thread has nothing to do with Kobe. Leave your trolling to any of the other threads about Kobe. There's plenty of them.

[MiamiHeat]

i KNOW he is gonna stay in CLE all along

but part of me thinks this man's ego is so huge, he'd form a dream team just cause

[sribb43]

If the press conference is at Saint Marys in Akron then this fool is staying in CLE

[HarlemHeat37]

If Jordan played in today's game, he would be doing the same thing..the stars in today's era have clearly been brought up differently..

[resistanze]

he would never leave chi-town in the first place

[Cane]

If Jordan played in today's game he'd be talking some mad shit on twitter to players across the league. It'd be awesome :toast

Looks like the ringless King is going to kinda beat Dwyane Wade's and Chris Bosh's documentary. Could be a nice trilogy about attention whoring when they're all out.

[dallaskd]

Hes going to Cleveland.

My initial thoughts too. If he was going to dipset Cleveland, he probably is quiet about it, so he doesnt have to face the media, but this lets him look like a hero. Or maybe he uses this as a stage to explain to Cav fans why he is leaving. interesting..

[InRareForm]

brilliant move, you can use the "it's for charity reason, and still maximize the spotlight"

[HarlemHeat37]

I'd still be surprised and very disappointed if he stayed in Cleveland, but I guess it's starting to look more likely..Cleveland or New Jersey, hopefully the latter..I'd guess NJ, but I guess we'll see..

Kobe was being an extreme media whore when he asked for a trade, making amateur tapes in parking lots, going to radio stations, calling out everybody..I know Laker fans like to ignore that part of history, but just saying..

This is the current era of players, they all have massive egos and love the attention, it's only going to get worse..

james is such a terrible person, using his fame to benefit the less fortunate. how dare he.

[DPG21920]

You need superstars and "bigger than life" personalities. They are in every single damn sport. The hate for James, who by all accounts is a model teammate is ridiculous imo.

Sure, he loves attention and lives a lavish lifestyle, but most stars do. At least he balances that with being a selfless teammate and great locker room guy.

I agree with DPG, as we've said many times here..Lebron's a great teammate, he's never said a bad word about a teammate, even when the media has tried to bait him..he's never had any serious incidents, he always speaks very well about everybody..yet there are so many people that hate him :lol..

Shut up dummy. Just because no one cares about Cuban screwing Dirk over, doesn't mean this is not cool.

What you talking about dummy....Dirk wants to be in Dallas...he's getting 20million a year to play bball. Deep down he probably knows that means he likely won't win a ring but there is much more to life than a stupid game of basketball....grow up son.

God bless you and your family regardless

He was making fun of me saying I was "scared". Then he said his team was going to kill mine and then he said he would also be richer than me.

[redzero]

All Lebron can really do is travel to the hoop and dunk, It is a lot easier to get the height he does when you don't have to worry about getting stripped because you're holding the ball in your hands all the way down the court, just runs full force into guys and either watches them move out of the way or get called for a foul because he ran them over. He travels constantly and whines like a bitch

99% of his moves are power moves. Boring as fuck. Even when he had a free dunk in the all star game he did a guess what..unoriginal power dunk. He lookes awkward running the floor, he is duck footed, is a spotlight hog. After shaq performed that dance in the allstar game he comes out trying to do a stupid dance to get attention. Also other stupid ass attention craving things he does, like the chalk throw, and the acting out taking a picture of his team. Fucking lame. He has no "finesse" like others that are fun to watch. When Jordan played you didnt know what he would do. His creativity and finesse would keep people guessing. Same deal with Kobe. He does new moves every game, and doesnt look akward spinning contorting his body around. Same goes for a few other players around the league. Plus the cavs have 4 allstars former or active on the team people seem to forget. Cavs have a shitty record against the good teams. USa couldnt win with basically 90% the same team 4 years ago. They got the bronze. NBA is trying so hard to push lebrick in your face its sickening.

look at his skills set. Is he the best shooter in the league? I wouldn't even put him in the top 15. Is he a great ball handler? Well hes no Chris Paul thats for sure, and that crab dribble? Defensivly his size and speed help him a lot, he doesn't necessarily read the offence like some like Kobe does. Is he focused on the game? Hell fucking no, this guy wants to be on the cover of magazines, wants to be the highlight player and wants to be on a bigger stage than Cleveland.

Once he goes back to the Cavs no one outside of die hard basketball fans and Cav fans will give a shit about him again until the season starts. So he might as well milk this now while he can. If he went to the Bulls with Bosh though the anticipation would probably build throughout the summer leading up to the season. I'd even possibly even watch a preseason game or two of theirs.

[DPG21920]

Now I feel bad bringing it up. Stretch is good people. He does suck at two things though: 1)Basketball. He is so bad. He is so bad he has to make things up like me getting dunked on, even though Bump said he didn't dunk on me. Sad that he has to make stuff up because this "midget" is too quick for him.

2)Business. He made two mistakes: 1)His idea was not new or exciting & 2)He sunk money into an obvious gamble. Not good business sense.

Maybe Stretch can just add "Damn it, Donnie" on the back and save face....He has to do something. Either that or start his own team and use those as jerseys.

Only problem with that is that why he is failing at the YMCA league, he will also be wearing failure. Tough spot.

That would be some shit and Stretch would be owning me if that happened. But when we were talking about the shirts, I thought he was joking at first, but he wasn't.

He specifically said the thing that was cool about them was that he was able to match Lebron's tattoo font for the words "WE STACKED". Like it was some cool subtle touch.

At least get your facts straight.

Mav fans were using "we stacked" at the trade deadline, not because of any hope of LeBron coming. We just used it more then because of how funny it was to see how butthurt everyone got when we posted LeBron in a Mav Jersey avatars.

[bostonguy]

This has been pretty obvious from the get go. Bron is fucking around. He was never going to leave Cleveland. This news just confirmed it for good. He isn't passing up on $30 million guaranteed money.

I don't blame him for doing this at all. He is a superstar who has never been a free agent. This kind of attention is something he will never get again.

Although if stretch really told DPG he spent money on shirts, then it's hilarious how stretch trolled the fuck out of everybody :lmao

I have 5 grand on Bron staying. I am pretty damn tempted to double and maybe even triple this bet. I just don't see Bron leaving especially with how he is going to announce it.

[Veterinarian]

Has Stretch tried any other Kramdanesque get rich quick schemes?

Tbh a boob who pulls something like this might have a long history of hilarious business ideas.

[Venti Quattro]

Supposing LeBron stays with Cleveland, how much will he earn per year?

[DPG21920]

At least get your facts straight.

Mav fans were using "we stacked" at the trade deadline, not because of any hope of LeBron coming. We just used it more then because of how funny it was to see how butthurt everyone got when we posted LeBron in a Mav Jersey avatars.

So you started saying it because of Lebron in a Mavs jersey. Which is what I said. I did not say every Mav fan saying that truly believed it, I just said they used it to taunt about Lebron to the Mavs.

Sons, there is no way Stretch made that up. He was dead on serious. I thought others knew about it.

There is no way that Stretch told me something that he told no one else a month ago in hopes that I would bring it up. He had design plans, money spent, the whole 9 yards.

We kept it up after the first few "You guys are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo fucking stupid if you think LeBron is coming to Dallas!!!! I mean sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo incredibly fucking stupid! haha stupid Mavs fans!"

and then "we stacked" was a nice retort.

Tbh if Stretch did buy those shirts he'd be smart to just throw them away at this point and claim he was lying/kidding.

[My Fault]

Yeah this pretty much closes the deal on what I think of Lebron. What superstar who "only cares about winning" does this? Kobe asked to be traded yes but hasn't never done such antics. He just wins and stfu the way a superstar should. Durant will be the one to take over when Kobe is done not Lebron.

[Giuseppe]

They're all staying home, or, pouting over a S&T (Bosh). The extra year, the extra 30 million is a powerful motive. That extra year pays the tax on the principle. You can have $70 million of $100 million, OR, $100 million of $130 million.

Please.

***LOB is pie-in-the-sky. A next to impossible feat. Too far away to see clearly. The money is right there, all they have to do is sign on the line which is dotted. That's easy. That's right in front of them. Just reach out and sign it. And by doing so they get an extra $30 million.

Please.

[monosylab1k]

LeBron will go back to Cleveland!

Why would he do all the hyping and stuff to celebrate himself "backstabbing" his hometown area?

[Thompson]

How are they going to fill an hour with this? Will they announce it at the beginning of the show and then spend an hour in commentary, or will they try to get people to watch a full hour before they finally announce it? Watch them start the show with 'will the octopus correctly pick LeBron's next jersey?'

[Thompson]

Maybe he's an insensitive egomaniac who sees it as 'celebrating his resurrection of the storied Bulls franchise.'

Fuck LeBron

[024]

did people seriously not read this part:

Those sources said that James's representatives requested they be allowed to sell sponsorship for the one-hour special, with the proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and that ESPN agreed to the proposal but had not been told what James has decided.

[GuerillaBlack]

I predict LeBron will have a bunch of hats with each team he's considering on the table. Then pick one. I'm starting to think he may go to the Nets though, even sooner. He'll be going to a good situation (Harris, Favors, Lopez, and Brooklyn in three years) and Avery is a good coach. Not to mention his buddy Jay-Z has great convincing powers, because of the Illuminati. He once sold ice in the winter, and sold fire in hell, he's a hustler baby, he'll sell water to a well.

Headline: LeBron, ESPN

No one cares about the small little details at all, thus the LeBron hate all started spewing out.

did people seriously not read this part:

There are probably rules preventing him from profiting from this directly, and I think he's doing it more for the attention and self-aggrandizement than for the kids.

lol i thought this was trolling. i guess its true

[Chillen]

If this is about resigning with the Cavaliers I think it's utterly pointless to hold an hour long press conference, just resign and stay where your at. Of course he probably feels the need to clear the air regarding all this drama.

[baseline bum]

The only way LeBron could redeem himself is if he walks up the first minute of the show, says "Chicago" (or whatever city he's going to play in), walks off, and then leaves ESPN hanging to fill the rest of the hour.

[The Third Man]

seriously

how jealous is Kobe right now? LOOOOOOOL

*kobe looks over to ron ron with sad face* and says : "nobody cared about my signing like this....sniff"

ron : i can make u a rap song, u wanna hear it? i can do it freestyle yo

Kobe's got four fucking rings and it about to be fitted for his fifth. He's not jealous of anybody.

[mudyez]

I guess we can be happy that he didnt choose to hold the press conference right at the soccer cup finale!

He should donate those shirts to the homeless. Fucking idiot.

[quickerblade]

what are they going to talk about for the hour? or is he going to announce the team in the first few minutes and the rest of the show will be about his decision.

now bosh is with wade, and amare with knicks, if james sticks with cavs who are they signing? boozer, i dont think so, nobody like the cavs..he should go to miami and win a few rings.

I saw Lakaluva in another thread saying something about some retarded business idea that I had or something. I had no idea whatsoever where that came from. So I did some research, and found this thread, and I must say... it was a troll job well done by DPG.

For the record, I never spent $1,000 in "we stacked" shirts or anything like that. If you fell for the joke, you're a fucking idiot that got trolled by a pudgy midget.

Also, let me set the basketball story straight. Yes, I fibbed about BUMP dunking on DPG. He did dunk, but the goal was a piece of junk, was only like 9 feet high, and it was on a breakaway. Me and DPG were actually on the same team, along with Mono, I think Findog, and some other guy who sucked ass. DPG did score a few points, however several were assisted by me, I know he had a breakaway layup that I got the rebound and fired the ball out to him, and he made a jumper that I assisted off a drive and dish. I scored the majority of our teams points, but the only way I was able to do that was fast breaking, because the court was so small and crappy, and the guys we were playing against were all pretty tall and would just foul the shit out of you if you came into the lane, and our goal was crooked as hell, so shooting was damn near impossible. So basically it was impossible to get any scores in a halfcourt set. LOL I do recall DPG getting the shit blocked out of him a few times by some white guys too :lmao

Oh yeah, and after doing absolutely NOTHING all game, Sribb hit a fucking game winning long jumper right in my face. Piece of shit... :lol

For Lebron and ESPN to get an 1hr "press conference" to just say uh yeah im gonna stay in Cleveland.....I dont think so. They announced that we would know the decision in the first 10 mins. Ok so everybody will tune in and wont miss out on where he will be going. Then what?????? Promote Leron?? Well duh but in a different way then you think.


He is leaving Cleveland and is shaking up the whole leage!!! And everybody will be shocked and tune ON to ESPN and watch the rest of the show. Which will be a NBA Fastbreak show about Lebron vs the Heat....and how crazy this season is about to be.


Sorry Cavs Fans....
