Most of the alleged skeletons seem to do with his mom...but that would be completely classless for Dan Gilbert to expose that

Lol, Delonte West. Actually if you want to blame anyone for Lebron leaving Cleveland blame Delonte West. Still itwouldn't be Dan Gilbert who would leak the information.



This commercial reminds me of this whole fiasco. Pat Riley is the adult and the kid represents Cleveland.

I don't even think the Delonte West story is one of them. If it was, Delonte would have been sent packing right away.

Either way, I don't think Gilbert is handling this well at all

Cleveland is officially non-existent as a sports town. And LeBron is a prince not a king.

How good is the Southeast Division now? LeBron, D-Wade, Bosh, Dwight Howard... John Wall....

Re: NBA Screwed?: James Leaning Towards Heat

Apparently LeBron's mother told him to do what was gonna make him happy. I guess that's what she does. Delonte makes her real happy.

I'm indifferent to LeBron quite honestly. But I thought coming out of high school he was more suited to be a Magic Johnson type player, 6'9" floor general. And it seemed like early one he was heading in that direction with DaJuan Wagner as his wingman. Unfortunately, illness and injuries cut Wagner's NBA career short and James' game changed.

Maybe he'll recapture that early "magic" in Miami with Wade (in my opinion, a better player than James and perhaps just as good as Kobe). Still, no matter how titles James wins in Miami, Wade will always have one more.

As for the Southeast...don't forget about Joe Johnson, and the Bobcats were a playoff team last year

Yeah, the Southeast is now pretty loaded up. But I don't agree with LeBron's decision at all. I think he could have serviced both his goal of winning and his goal of building a personal legacy best in Chicago. He would have been numero uno on that team, and could have built his brand a lot better than playing second fiddle on D-Wade's team. Plus he could have gotten more money. And who could have challenged that Bulls squad in their division? Cleveland without LBJ? Detroit? Indiana? Milwaukee? Child please. They would win that division by a dozen games for the next 5 years.

I just have this feeling that something is gonna blow up on them in Miami. They will be so limited in what they can do as far as complimentary players to "The Three."

As a Wizards fan in the Southeast Division, I wish them nothing but the worst.

I think he should have gone to Chicago as well (don't sleep on the Bucks though)

They're saying the Heat may also sign Brad Miller or Juwan Howard.

Well didn't the Beasley trade free up the loot to sign Miller? Regardless I would assume The Heat could give a crap about paying luxury tax at this point.

Like I said, I just feel like something will fall apart here. Maybe LeBron's inner circle falls apart? Mav Carter and WW Wes wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't try to make LBJ the biggest and best in Miami. But that won't sit well with D-Wade. And then maybe LeBron has different ideas with what direction his "brand" should heading (sacrificing some degree of fame/fortune for winning). I dunno. Something about this just has implosion written all over it.

Re: NBA Screwed?: James Leaning Towards Heat

I don't think World Wide Wes is as connected to LeBron as believed.

Do you believe there will be an implosion, or are you hoping? Or is it a little from column A, a little from column B

And yeah I guess you're right about Beasley's deal freeing up cap space. I wonder if Riley will actually let Spoelstra coach or will he work his way down to the bench.

WHO THE F**K IS WORLD WIDE WES AND WHAT DOES HE DO??!?!?!?!?!? I'm sorry for some reason the whole deal with world wide Wes stresses me out. He doesn't have a specific role yet he's one of the most powerful men in sports? Basically the way I understand it, Wesly is a mortgage broker who's friends with NBA players and Jimmy Johnson.

In other news I kind of feel like I'm pulling a Lebron with my plan to move back to Maryland. Actually it's more like a reverse Lebron because I'm going back to the area I grew up in. After I told my friends my plans they started burning pictures of me and wrote a note with one paragraph being in all caps.

Actually if they traded or released Delonte it would have only served to validate the rumors in the court of public opinion.

Either way I'm probably going to start looking to college basketball for my fix. Maryland just brought in a great recruiting class so hopefully that'll serve to make them a threat once again in the ACC.

There only one Mr. Bull and his last name 'J' but doesn't end with an 'S'. James brand has definitly taken a hit becuse of this move. It's the path of least resistance to a championship

Clearly it wasn't about the money. No one cares about the division...if Miami doesn't win a championship year in year out the whole thing is a failure.
