Broussard at it again

[midnightpulp]

Absolutely. You ain't walking away from that, piss pot. Ever. You fucked up.

Better to be light one than two.

And better to enter 2014-15 Championed Up and looking sharp than to enter it with Swaggy P.

When you really look at it, it's pretty hard not to agree with Rose. All this recruiting crap is stupid as hell.

[Killakobe81]

Broussard reports on Mike & Mike that he thinks the Kang returns to Cleveland. Did not say he "knew" for sure just his opinion based on rumblings from James's camp. Take it for what it's worth (not much) but he was on the Miami train (as was SAS) 4 years ago.
I don't get the sentiment that Cavs are that FAR away, especially in the East. I think ECF is reasonable especially with Miami gutted Lance possibly leaving Pacers. Bulls are one Rose re-injury away from being limited, Wiz may lose Ariza, Brooklyn is aging ...

New look cavs could send back a piece or pick in sign & trade and STILL have a bright future. Whether just luck or conspiracy draft has reloaded Cavs with more picks coming.

[Killakobe81]

And WITH Lebron they have a draw, despite the crappy city. No offense native Clevelanders only been there once, got stuck near the airport due to severe weather wasnt a good look ...maybe it's a great city. But that visit and what I have "heard" makes me question that.

[djohn2oo8]

I'll still be shocked if he leaves Miami. Hope we have a decision today.

[baseline bum]

Can you imagine how pissed off Vegas will be if he leaves? People have been betting like hell on the Cavs winning the title at 40-1 to 60-1 odds these last couple of weeks. :lol

They had taken it off the books at some places pending his decision, if some put it back up ...then that's on them.
Like I said I am not willing to plan a victory parade I think without adding a more "Seasoned" #2 will be hard for them to beat SAS, LAC or OKC ...but the East? They surely would be favored.

Honestly it would make sense for LeBron to leave for Cleveland now. Because no one wants to go through this again if he signs a 1 or 2 year deal.

Ridiculous.... LeBron hasn't even said or done anything, his agent, inner circle, hack reporters and Cleveland homers with fake sources have been the ones whipping up this hysteria....

Media once again is creating unfair hate against the Kang, tbh....

Be fair, CN. At the very least he is asking Riles to "pitch him" to stay. he has 4 Finals in 4 years but is still considering his options. I do not think it makes him a "villain" ... but to act like it is all wild rumors is being myopic. CLeveland fans shouldnt over inflate it's hope ...but to act like this is nothing is crazy. And he knows it's happening and is doing nothing to stop it.

Exactly. LeBron knew what kind of hype this would generate, ALL he had to do to stop it was not let his agent meet with Cleveland. That's ALL he had to do, yet he didn't.

Even Woj gets trolled. This has been reported for over a year that he was still considering Cleveland. At some point during that time, he could have denied those rumors. And he has more power over his inner circle that if he wanted to stop a meeting, he could stop it.

He announced before the season that he wasn't going to publicly address his free agency plans, going back on that would only get him even more hate from Media and fans....

No freaking kidding man. Been saying too for awhile. All of this constant desire to be wanted and needing attention is ridiculous and speaks to the immaturity of today's players. I'll give you once in your career, but every damn time you become a free agent?

Man the fuck up. Make a decision and deal with it. Everyone waiting for everyone else so they have an excuse why they made THEIR decision.

Not really. The reason he didn't deny any rumors is that would have taken away his leverage if he was seriously thinking about leaving. Let the rumors play out, and make Miami think Cleveland is a legitimate threat if the Heat didn't upgrade due to Arison being a cheapass, and it has worked out well for LeBron so far, except the Cleveland hype train is in full effect. Like I said, he could have denied it, but it would have been foolish because Riley wouldn't be THIS concerned about him possibly leaving for Cleveland. It was a calculated move.

Nope, he wouldn't address the rumors because he was focused on the opportunity for a threepeatPERIOD

Cannot agree more. If he wants to go back do so. if he wants Riles to give him reasons to stay say that. I dont blame him for oting out because he is underpaid even at the max. But dont drag it out ...just do it. As bad as the decison was handled he ended up with 2 rings. I think he at least gets one in Cleveland ... and 1 in Cleveland is worth two in MIA, tbh.
Make a choice and move on. in the east with a little bit of help it's a trip to the ECF

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 55m

LeBron James reached out to two vet free agents last week about joining him, IF he left Miami, sources tell Yahoo. Mike Miller was one.

[baseline bum]

James recruiting Miller tells me is genuinely pissed at Arison. I think he walks. What a slap in the face that was to LeBron when Arison amnestied Miller over $5 million when James took a way bigger pay cut than that over his four years. He took that pay cut specifically so they could sign Miller in the first place. I'd be extremely surprised to see him in Miami after that. Arison told him you're taking a pay cut not for Miller, but for me. I think James tells him to enjoy the lottery.

But, it was during that 10 minutes when Kobe put Howard on the spot and Howard stepped out the side door.

I wonder who's SAS team will be next season if Lebron bolts. Will he still be rooting for the Heat.

Kobe was going to teach him how to become a champion, tbh..

[baseline bum]

Yep.

Basically James took a $12.4 million pay cut over those four years so they could pay Miller. Riley is going to have a really hard time trying to spin that. LeBron was eligible for $17.4 million starting in 2010-11 and he signed for $14.5M starting instead.

Not really. It could just mean they want max contracts themselves, and are looking elsewhere to get them. I tend to agree that James isn't leaving, but if he does it's because he wants a max contract AND the reigns on when to goof off and when to play hard. He probably misses those days when he was a good guy.

I have to admit I didn't see him leaving Miami, but allowed that if he did, it was because he was no longer enjoying the game of basketball and wanted to be a hero again, not a scapegoat.
