    Personally I dont mind ...makes next year's potential Lakers Heat Finals epic ...

    BUt with state income tax and the sign/trade they didnt lose much $ at all (Bosh/Lebron)

    Wade is the one who sacrificed the most ...

    My only issue is "the Decision" and th talk of 8 straight les by a a guy who has barely sniffed one ...

    I say bring it ...

    If you didn't leave the NBA after Stern's collusion with LA and Boston, then why leave now?

    Where was all of this uproar with the lopsided trades in LA and Boston?

    Boston has gotten old and Stern needs a new Boston in the East to compete against his pet franchise.

    So either realize that this is no coincidence or accept the fact that Stern has declared that LA will be in the finals every year and whoever they face is irrelevant as long as his babies are there. Now granted he doesn't care if they win EVERY year, just that they make it there because of the almighty dollar.

    God Bless the NBA.

    As to the other 28 team fans, we might as well jump on one of the bandwagons because lord Stern has sealed the fates of all of our teams with his blatant rigging for his pets.

    I shall watch with the hope that some team can mess up his master plan.
    I just can't see any right now.

    If Bosh & Wade only was with Mia, an LaBrick went to the Bulls there wouldve been great compe ion in the East. They took that away! I say the spurs will beat'em in the finals in 6 gms!

    We going back to Magic Lakers, and Bird Celtics days.

    I love it.
    Meh its more like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird joining forces...think about it.

    Don't worry guys Kobe and co. will take care of these fools.

    at sacrificing. None of those spoiled, arrogant, catered to their whole lives players have had to sacrifice in thier lives. And I am talking the whole NBA... not just these 3. Yes there are exception but for the majority all these guy have led storied lives and wanted for nothing.

    The Pistons are in rebuilding mode. I admire Kobe's game and work ethic and so if I'll have to root for someone who has a chance it will be the Lakers.

    To be honest with you I would rather see the Magic win it all, but with Vince in the mix I don't see that happening.

    Are you trying to say that Bird > Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

    Magic and Kareem are both better than Larry.

    and they were on the same team. Doesn't hurt them any.

    Collusion didn't make me leave and neither will these legitimate signings.

    I think it's all pretty simple. People watched Kevin Garnett be the highest paid player in Minnesota, win the MVP, and never get anywhere. Then he went to Boston and scored fewer points, grabbed fewer rebounds, had less of the glory, and won an NBA championship. When asked during a press conference about LeBron's situation, Garnett went out on a limb and honestly said, "sometimes loyalty can hurt you." It's true. Cleveland had seven years to build around him, and they couldn't land one player that was better than Kobe's 3 or 4 best teammates. He never got a Ginobili or a Tony Parker. Even Stephen Jackson would've been better than anyone he had. LeBron's looking at the big picture, as he should. He wants to win championships, and he won't do it with Drew Gooden as his best teammate (as in 2007) or with Antawn Jamison. Conspiracy theories, Cleveland disappointment, and intimidated fans of other teams aside, LeBron made what he thought was the smartest move necessary to win championships. I didn't like the TV spectacle much either, but in terms of basketball IQ, the guy did made a great move.

    your post makes too much sense for this forum, Mr Bones.

    I bet if Kevin Garnett can go back and do everything over again, Minny would be ed and watch KG go somewhere else of his OWN CHOOSING after KG's rookie contract.

    the only way to mess up his master plan is for a lockout to happen, which could happen and will be good for the NBA, they can fix it all

    wrong

    They gave up $2mil per season.

    It's irrelevant what the tax breaks are.

    They still gave up $2mil. They would have $2 mil per season more AND the tax breaks.

    they aren't giving up anything really, only way I see they are giving up anything if they are making 100 bucks a week, other then that they make a load of money anyway they aren't giving up much 2mil per season to them is prob like 5 bucks for us
