LeBron can't understand normal thinking.
I predict violence when the Heat visit Cleveland this fall.
OK by me!
Cleveland and Otis Smith of Orlando should remember Michael Jordon and the Knicks, and let sleep: Sleep
If this is all that Cleveland is about, then no wonder he left--get a life Cleveland! He was paid and he gave 7 years of his career to try to bring a championship to Cleveland. It didn't happen so he moved on to a place where he can win some championships. What is wrong with that? It was a business decision just like the corporations make. Why should he let Cleveland use him up, throw him away, and he still won't have any championships? I've been to Cleveland, and they should be happy and appreciative that he stayed there that long!!!!!
7 years was 3 years too long.
What I don't understand, and perhaps it has already been addressed, if James is so willing to accept less money, as he stated last night, along with Wade and Bosh taking less cash as well, did he ever consider offering his services to the Cavs for less money in order to bring in better players? It just sounded like he wanted everything from the Cavs for nothing but highlight material in return, handcuffing management from doling out cash for better role players or perhaps another hired gun. It just sounds like we are not making a fair comparison, skewed by James' himself.
Otis Smith will find out how "competitive" Lebron is the first time the two teams meet. I've never heard such whiny, crybaby BS from a spurned team, ever.
The Magic will utterly destroy Cleveland and I can't wait to see it.
Toronto offered to sign and trade Bosh to Cleveland and Bosh said "no". Or to be more accurate, he refused to return Toronto's phone calls regarding the deal.
According to sources out of Toronto.
I'm curious if he said no because James told him he was leaving. which I am ok with but why all the deception.
