LeBron asks for police security for his home

[Banzai]

Kobe couldn't win without shaq...won 2 les with Pau.

Lebron can't win with Mo Williams,Parker,Jamison

Lebron needs to have Wade and Bosh to win? (assuming he goes to Miami)

[Basketballgirl25]

We'll find out at 9 Central, since they'll suck his for an hour before he finally reveals what he's going to do.

I heard he was going to say where in the first 10 mins, that's what I heard anyway

You really believe Bron is going to leave Cleveland and pass up on that extra 30 plus million?

For some reason, I think they all (wade, bosh, and lebron) agreed to take a paycut. When hearing the interview with Wade and Bosh, they are willing to take a paycut in order to get the players they need. I think since Lebron is going to make alot of money from endorsements and there's no income tax, I don't think he'll mind taking the same amount of money as the rest.

I told yall hes gone ever since playoffs ended and its his choice not his fans.

Absolutely. That $30M is chump change compared to his ancillary income.

1.) I know Gloria James, the Unholy Mother. I know her dire backstory. I know that her son is more mature than she is and how much support and protection her son — and the Cavaliers — provide for her. This is a prior existing condition, a de facto factor that can't be exploited by any other team in the course of their pitches to LeBron — he wouldn't stand for that subject to be addressed, nor would he raise it. And he knows that no other media market in the country would enable him to maintain a shield of silence around her.

"It's a turnoff, because he knows that if he goes to New York, and the relentless media, it puts his mom in the spotlight, and LeBron's not interested. Whereas the Cleveland media understands the situation, does not camp out at the mom's house, is respectful to LeBron, and lets the mother play a much less impactful part of his life. And in the case of LeBron there is a situation involved with his family that is not being spoken about that is unbelievably important to him. Basically, LeBron's people had to go to the New York Post and beg them not to run a story.

joke making fun of Lefty I'm too lazy to quote

Seems like a myth to me... Winning breeds endorsements... IT makes local market money irrelevant.

If I were Bron, I would leave, especially after that dreadfully embarrassing performance in game 4? and 7...

[Cry Havoc]

I just heard this morning that LeBron is going to San Antonio. That's gotta be a rape in the ass for Suns fans.

Ftfy.

What would be the point of saving the house? If he leaves, it's going to worthless, since he's the only thing keeping their economy afloat.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Set the Lake on Fire he is gone. Screw Cleveland it's what you get.

[boston.balla]

sons this thread will be GOLD by tomorrow. Book it.

[sefant77]

They are angry because he can move on and they are stuck in this ty city

[Ginobili2Duncan]

I could not disagree more. Boozer stabbed them in the back and went back on his word after he agreed to resign with them. Call the Cavs naive, but I have a hard time blaming them for his departure. As for the current composition of Cleveland's roster, LeBron has no right to complain. He signed off on all the transactions Ferry made...and because he wouldn't commit to an extension in order to create this free agency LeBronathon, Ferry had to try and create a championship roster on the fly instead of taking the long route and getting younger players who could take on greater roles over time.

Exactly, that's why more talented players didn't want to go to Cleveland. They were all afraid that LeBron would leave the Cavs in 2010 and they would be stuck in Cleveland without him. LeBron should've just committed to his franchise like most stars do, and other stars would've wanted to play with him.

for some reason I forgot for like two seconds the Cavs chose Antawn over Amare because of Hickson. Just remembering that again makes me laugh.
