Cleveland's Finest

LBJ isn't going to a team with no point guard and no true center. Along with a team that has no depth.

Terrible how he leaves the Suns just like that. Did he even let them give him a pitch? I know LBJ won't just jump ship like that. I feel sad for Suns fans.

I think his whole group got to travel on team flights. That's one of the many things.

I haven't heard anything on the offline dynasty mode for this game and that's what I play a lot in these games. Has anyone heard anything on that mode for this game?

Blazers have showed interest in Mo. Delonte's expiring gives 4 mill. off the books for who takes him. Parker, Moon are solid vets who can be role players for a team in rebuilding, Telfair, another contract coming off the books with 2.5 mill. around. He can be a project and start for rebuilding teams to see if something is there. And you know any team would love to have Verajao. I'm not saying there is one person you can give away solely. The point is, with the right combination of players, a trade can be made. Look at how we got Mo, Shaq, Jamison, etc...you wouldn't think they could be had for as little as that.

Lol, Fausto Carmona made it for the Indians since Choo is injured. He's 7-7 with an ERA in the 3's. What a joke. I mean, he's above average and has great potential, but he shouldn't be in this.

The Cavs have a very deep roster that is capable of doing a sign-and-trade deal that would provide close to $30 million in additional salary for Bosh, etc.. which is beyond what they could get on the open market.

A guy who averaged 13.8 points in the 2nd round just got a max contract. The world today....

I still think winning the first title in almost 50 years for the city of Cleveland would be the best moment that could happen for LeBron. Not only because of that feat, but because of all the possible stars that could do it, it's a guy who was born in Akron. He can surpass Jordan here by creating a bigger legacy.

Maybe he realizes that Bosh and LeBron won't be playing with him. So he'll take the next best thing?

How much better can the Bulls do? The Cavs were the favorites to win the finals the past two years, like it or not. If LBJ doesn't quit to end the season, Cavs would've made it further. But we were the favorites. So with a better roster on the Bulls, they are just bigger favorites? Btw, if you think all the Cavs have planned for this offseason is signing LeBron, then you will be surprised with what else they do.

Cavs have had the best record the past two years so it's not like our team is comparible to the Nets, Knicks....

Yeah, 30 of the thousands of people from Cleveland are in this video yet you generalize it to the whole city. What do you want Cleveland sports fans to do? Buckeyes haven't started. Indians suck again. Let alone, it's the freaking weekend lmao.

Well, the Knicks and Nets haven't really been great the past 7 years or so in terms of landing big names and having winning teams, so the city life obviously doesn't play a big role, eh?

Yeah, but not as cities. I was talking about the lifestyle shift based on his schedule and private life. Cleveland < New York, ok. That doesn't mean that Cleveland isn't better for LBJ. And I mean Akron essentially. Not everyone bases their choices of city on where they can be with celebrities and party more.

I didn't know that I was comparing cities...

If LBJ goes to New York, the practice facilities are what, two hours from where he'll be? In Cleveland, not only are the practice facilities the nicest in the league, but they are much closer. Also if LBJ goes to NYC/NJ, he'll have to live like 30 min to an hour from the city. In Akron, LeBron goes to random places in public and is never bothered. In New York, everywhere he goes the press would attack him and he wouldn't have the feeling of serene privacy that he does here.

LBJ doesn't want to be known as a player who needed a top 3 player in the league to get him over the hump.

Would be awesome if the Bulls land Wade, Bosh, and Cavs keep James. Heat then left with Boozer and Johnson prob.

The Bulls have role players. The Heat need role players in order to attract Wade and Bosh imo.
