Why would LeBron want to go to Dallas again? And if I recall correctly, Dirk hasn't re-signed yet.

[Ghazi]

Because he's a Dallas Cowboys fan

[BRHornet45]

Because he's a Dallas Cowboys fan

son so is 80% of all African Americans. Cowboys, Yankees, Lakers, etc. that is not a legit excuse to want to play with that proven choke artist white boy Dirk. Lebron has enough choking problems of his own already.

[redzero]

Because he's a Dallas Cowboys fan

And he's also a New York Yankees fan. What does that have to do with basketball?

1) Kobe/Shaq

2) Jordan/Pipp

3) Kobe/Gasol

4) Crab/Diggler

Lebron going to Dallas would mean Cleveland would have to agree to a sign and trade where Lebron leaves, which isn't happening.

If I'm the Cavaliers, and I think Lebron is leaving, I try to get a young player with star potential in return.

Enter "Baby Flash" . Roddy Beaubois

1) Kobe/Shaq

2) Jordan/Pipp

3) Kobe/Gasol

4) Crab/Diggler

son when mentioning the Laker tandems it should read "Shaq/Kobe" and "Gasol/Kobe" .... the sidekick / helper Kobe has absolutely no business being listed first and you know it.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

What leverage does Cleveland have?

It's not a matter of leverage, it's a matter of the fact they're not gonna make it any easier for Lebron to leave and make it possible for him to go to a playoff team. They're gonna force him to go to some ball team like NY if he wants to leave.

Does anybody have a photoshop'd picture of Dirk in a Knicks jersey? I would love to see one.

How fast do you think the Lakers would trade Bynum's ass for Chris Paul?

Five seconds?

The Cavs aren't gonna make it easy for Lebron to leave.


If there's a sign and trade involving Lebron this summer, I'll never post on ST again. Save this post on your hard drive for all I care.

How fast do you think the Lakers would trade Bynum's ass for Chris Paul?

Five seconds?

Why would they want Paul when they could get Collinson?

[Ghazi]

If Lebron wants some of these , he'll come to Dallas. If not, he can go play next to mother ing Gallinari and Sergio Rodriguez in New York.

Rest of NBA:

How fast do you think the Lakers would trade Bynum's ass for Chris Paul?

Five seconds?

As marginal a center as Glassnum is, he's still a more valuable player than Paul due to his size and length.

Also, Fisher has a knack for hitting big shots (Game 4 NBA Finals)... Paul would let Sasha Vujacic take 13 4th quarter shots.

[redzero]

Why would they want Paul when they could get Collinson?

That's even worse. The Lakers would trade Bynum for a second year point guard.

If Rashard Lewis has the power to pick which team he wants to be sign/traded to, I'm pretty sure LeBron does too.

Not saying it will happen. I think he stays in Cleveland. But in a s/t, the guy doing the signing has all the power.

The Sonics were a rebuilding team that probably had no interest in resigning Lewis, not sure how that comparison makes any sense.

Cleveland has the power to make it impossible for Lebron to sign and trade anywhere, and they're going to do that.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

If Lebron wants some of these , he'll come to Dallas. If not, he can go play next to mother ing Gallinari and Sergio Rodriguez in New York.

Thanks for proving my point Seena. Dallas is a lot more desirable for Lebron than NY, Cleveland has the power to make it impossible for Lebron to go to Dallas, and they're going to.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The Sonics had just drafted Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. They had plenty of interest in keeping their final veteran player on the team with them. Lewis had no interest in the Sonics.

Deny the truth all you want, it's right there. I can pull up countless other sign/trade's where the guy when exactly where he wanted to go.

Do you think Cleveland would agree to a sign and trade with Lebron and be a part of making their team and city irrelevant, yes or no?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I can pull up countless other sign/trade's where the guy when exactly where he wanted to go.

If this were the case every free agent would have the ability to sign with all 30 teams. Orlando had the cap room to sign Rashard and didn't even need a sign and trade.

99% sure they wouldn't.

[mogrovejo]

1. Jordan/Pippen
2. James/Dirk
3. Shaq/Kobe

[Ghazi]

If I'm Cleveland, and my options are:

1. Lebron walking to an East team.

2. Lebron going West, acquiring young talent in return and getting rid of ty contracts (Varejao? Gibson? Williams?)

I'm choosing #2

If (when) Lebron goes to the Mavs I'm moving down to Dallas so I can witness this breathtaking tandem first hand. Gonna be one big ing party.
