How can you blame anyone for changing that sign? LeBron bailed on northeastern Ohio when times got tough. Instead of taking on the challenge like MJ did when he kept losing to the Pistons, LeBron took the easy way out and ripped out the hearts of Cavs fans.

King signed a contract extension to stay in Cleveland years ago..he gave them 7 years, and they never surrounded him with even 1 top 50 player in the NBA..

So you wanted him to trust an incompetent front office and waste his talent like KG did?..

Son does that mean Dirk should have left too....maybe have a 30min tv special? Not tell the owner and team until he's on the air that he's leaving...not return their calls or txts through this whole process???

Play the whole NBA and fans by making a mockery of the whole process.

-Lebron didn't quit, he choked..he played poorly in the last 2 games..even Jordan had horrible games and they never turned on him..classless POS fans..

-Dirk is a class act too, I don't really know why you're bringing him up..he did have a top 50 player in '06 Howard and Nash for multiple years though, but it doesn't matter..Dirk has never had a legit #2 on a consistent basis, I don't think anybody would have blamed him had he walked away as a FA..

The San Antonio Heat is sacred to them now. Everyone calls the Lakers a bunch of bandwagon fans, but I've yet to witness even one poster on this site to join forces with LA. We have it on record that the Spurs fans will join any Tom, Dick, and James when their team is a failure.

HarlemHeat isn't a Spurs fan. He's a jock-sniffer. Remember his Vince Carter avatar? :lol

You can't compare LeBron's situation to KG's. Garnett didn't demand out until after 12 years and it was clear the Timberwolves were no longer competitive. The Cavs have won 60 games the last two years and they were making moves to keep LeBron happy. The last two trade deadlines, they tried to make the team better for the postseason. If LeBron had signed a 3 year extension and the Cavs still failed to win a title then I think more people would have understood if he left town.

If he played his ass off against Boston and lost because the supporting cast didn't step up and Mike Brown got outcoached- like what happened against Orlando- it would be different. I don't think anyone could really find fault with him looking for greener pastures if that was the case.

Just give your best effort. That's all anyone can reasonably ask. If he doesn't- and he didn't- he deserves all the bile he's getting.

It's funny how critical certain people are of Cleveland Fan in this thread. We're the most forgiving people in the world. We have a Who's Who of sports legends in this city that didn't win squat, but people still love them because they tried. Christ, we welcome Earnest Byner back here with open arms.

If Cleveland had big ass Cuban hoes, balmy days and steamy nights, with big ass Puerto Rican hoes, palm trees, great beaches, clear water, big ass white and black hoes with great winters, it would be the perfect place to play.

That's the problem with the NBA. The majority of teams that contend happen to be in warm climates (L.A., Phoenix, Miami, Orlando) or big markets (Boston, Dallas, Chicago). How can teams like Utah, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Sacramento and Charlotte join the elite when no free agents want to play there?

He shot 3-14 in game 5, and 8-21 with 9 turnovers in game 6..those are Kobe-esque big game numbers, Lebron usually does a lot better..credit goes to Boston though, great run..

Nine turnovers. 8-for-21 shooting.

LeBron can put up numbers in his sleep. He can not play well and still put up 50. He can play brilliantly and put up 15.

Look at the turnovers and when they took place. Like dribbling the ball off his foot with no one around him and the Cavaliers down four midway through the fourth quarter of Game Six.

You don't need to play horribly to throw a game or a series. You just need to make sure you don't play well enough to win.

The got Jamison for free. They got Shaq for nothing. Any team that wins 66 games, then add Shaq, Jamison, Moon, and Parker, and Powe, and stays injury free for the season should win the title. They were stacked. No other way to look at it. James is just not a leader when things get tough. No need in arguing this, he admitted it.

Its not about him staying for 10 years. Its about him trying to get the Cavs over the top while they are still a good team. LeBron pulled the plug on a 60 win team that could have gotten better. Its not like Dan Gilbert wasn't prepared to spend money and make trades to improve the team.

Was the Amare deal real or just made up? I've heard loads of posters say the Cavs turned it down because of Hickson but i've not seen any reports stating this.

vicphoenix13

07-11-2010, 11:17 AM

The Cavs had very little room to get better..this is the same organization that reportedly turned down a deal for Amare because they didn't want to give up JJ Hickson..they have very little assets and nobody wants to play in one of the worst cities in the world..

Even if they did have assets, why should any player trust them at this point?..they have shown that they are extremely incompetent..

Look at Kobe, Howard and Boston's supporting cast, and compare..

The Amare to Cavs trade was actually nixed by Steve Kerr because he didn't believe J.J. Hickson and filler was enough for an allstar power forward. The only reason a trade was even discussed is because Robert Sarver is cheap and he wanted to get rid of Amare's contract. If the Cavs had offered Gibson, Varejao and a couple of first round picks, the trade would have gone down.

My mistake if it's not true, but either way, all reports indicated that they could have gotten a deal done..

When you compare Lebron's supporting cast to the other "elite" teams from last year, there's a glaring difference IMO..not only from a talent perspective, but also fit, and coaching as well..

Before the season started everyone thought it would be Cleveland vs. Lakeshow. And like everyone else I was looking forward to a LeBron vs. Kobe finals. But, I guess LeBron knew his team would've gotten stomped by LA and quit before he got a chance to choke in the Finals, again.

He didn't bring enough to justify tanking a playoff series.

You want it both ways here:

On one hand you don't want Cleveland Fan to be a charity case and think they're entitled to LeBron-for-life because they've gone X years without a championship.

Boston isn't even arguable, TBH, they clearly had the better supporting cast..their top 5 players all would have been the 2nd best player on the Cavs roster, and their team is clearly built to fit better..

Judging by their reactions during the playoffs and after, combined with their owner, it is clear he did the right thing overall.

Lets summarize:

I said Lebron did a ton for the city. Tragic says "no titles". I say although he did not win a title, he did a lot. Tragic says "no titles". I say, ok, but that does not mean fans should have called him a quitter when he puts up triple doubles, wins MVP's and props up their economy. Tragic says "no titles".

Again, Lebron did not have to do what he did, he could have taken the high road. But just like most on ST, when someone crosses the line, we normally act the same right back.

Would you be cordial over the matter and just say, oh well, best of luck? What if you also found out that she had been planning this for some time. Would you still welcome her home to see the kids she abandoned? There are plenty of fools that would, but what would you do, DPG?

And I would say the 1975-76 team and the Price/Daugherty/Nance teams did just as much for the franchise and the city as LeBron ever did- with the added bonus that those teams never threw a playoff series.

I said it was ironic that a Sun fan would side with him. In this particular case, it is not about the rings. He did fail them in that regard. He also still did more for them than a lot players do for any franchise.

How is it ironic a Suns fan sides with the guy who has to listen to someone tell him it's not about titles, when every year the Suns come up short, there are a bunch of idiots on this site who take joy in saying lol ringless Suns.

Never said that. I said don't make them a charity case by pitying them for Lebron burning them on national TV when they played their hand.

I am implying yall are dumbasses for acting butthurt about what Lebron did when you provoked it.

He dragged your city from the sewer up to respectability for 7 years.

we'll see how many National games the Cavs will get next year ......

Please, we were around long before he got here and we'll be around long after he left. Just because you didn't know Cleveland existed before LeBron doesn't mean it didn't.

And I would say the 1975-76 team and the Price/Daugherty/Nance teams did just as much for the franchise and the city as LeBron ever did- with the added bonus that those teams never threw a playoff series.

Please. Your team has not been relevant for a while, early to mid 90's. Even then, never made the finals, which Lebron did. Then you were absolute dog shit in the early 2000's. GTFO

Sure, if Spurs fans called Duncan a quitter for putting up a triple double and blamed him because Matt Bonner and Mason could not do shit, then sure, I would understand him doing that.

Well yeah if Duncan stood in the corner, practicly giving up on his team then yeah I would.

The 1975-76 team brought crowds to Cavaliers games for the first time. Before that team they were putting 3,000-4,000 people in the seats for their games.

The Price/Daugherty/Nance teams made the Cavaliers relevant over several seasons for the first time. Anyone who watched those teams and LeBron's teams knows which ones were really better. The former had the bad luck of running into the GOAT at the absolute prime of his career, that's no shame on them.

Economically I'd say the 1990's Indians did just as much if not more for the city than LeBron did.

Anyway the Cavaliers have always been the third team in this town. When they're relevant it's gravy, nothing more. We're not Portland or Salt Lake or San Antonio.

He deserves the hate to be honest. His legacy is tarnished regardless of how many titles he brings now.

All the San Antonio Heat fans are sickening. We should be worried about getting past the second round in our own conference instead of worshiping Wade and his 2 pet dogs.

The truth of the matter is the situation on the streets was completely different - they still had all those "we love lebron" commericals, lebron parade, etc.

So unless you're telling me lebron reads online forums, which is the only place where there was any kind of widespread quitter talk, you're just being a bitch and finding excuses for the way lebron shat on his team on national tv.

-I'm a pretty big contributor upstairs, which is why they voted for me, so clearly I'm a die hard Spurs fan..

-It's possible that I'm doing some trolling..if so, I have no idea how it could be considered shitty LOL..I have the majority of the NBA forum going crazy because of my charity talk and overall talk about the Decision..if this was a trolling job, it would be historic, Bump-level trolling IMO..

This fucker has been planning to leave for two years, make no mistake about it. Remember last year when he was so giddy about free agency and couldn't restrain himself?

The San Antonio Heat is sacred to them now. Everyone calls the Lakers a bunch of bandwagon fans, but I've yet to witness even one poster on this site to join forces with LA. We have it on record that the Spurs fans will join any Tom, Dick, and James when their team is a failure.

So is this your new argument DPG? Lebron didn't mind being called a quitter for game 5, but game 6 is what drove him over the edge?

You look like Allanon right now. My argument is the same. You just keep changing yours to suit your needs.

Me: CLE fans turned their backs on Lebron. Just look at Joe.

You: Joe is in the minority.

Everyone else: Shut up Tragic, you don't know what you are talking about. The majority bashed James.

Me: The called him a quitter in the playoffs when he was putting up triple doubles against one of the best teams in the league.

You: They only called him a quitter for one game.

Everyone else: Shut up Tragic, he quit in every game. You don't know what you are talking about.

My point is and has remained that if you spit in the face of your franchises best player and cross the line and call him a quitter, you better be ready for back lash. It makes you look petty and ungrateful for all he did for you city.

He did not win them a title, but he did a lot for the franchise. What Lebron did was a dick move, but the fans deserved it for how the turned on him and hurled extremely harsh accusations at him.

My point is you should not be crying about it and the fans should not be crying about what Lebron did because they already turned on him. He just did the same thing.
