If I lose, I lose. I am getting +125 on the side I think should be favored.

lebron is a selfish prick and will always do whats best for lebron and his legacy. he certainly didnt uproot his family from cleveland to miami because he cared about them, he did it cause he didnt want to end up ringless like karl malone and charles barkley.
his decision will again be based on which team will help his legacy by helping him win more rings. had the heat 3-peat he would be back for a 4-peat and there wouldnt be an indecision part 2. but the way wade and bosh played in the finals he views them as more of a hinderance than help.
and people who say he will never return to cleveland because of bad feelings towards dan gilbert is being dumb and naive. stuff like that always happens in business after a falling out. just look at apple and steve jobs for example..... apple forced jobs out even though he was their founder. then years later they made up and he was brought back as ceo and they became wildly successful together.
theres even a famous saying for this.....
"its not personal, its business."

All fueled by speculation. Those are tweener odds anyway, team Lebron goes to will drop (in Cleveland's case, drop more) and the other team will rise (in Cleveland's case skyrocket).

poor example, what happend with steve jobs and lebron are totally different
lebron decided to leave, steve jobs got kicked out, big difference
what happened to jobs was all business, for the most part .........
the shit that dan gilbert pulled with the letter was personal not business
lebron holds all the power here, its up to him if he wants to let the personal stuff slide

doesnt matter. jobs and apple were enemies at one point and hated each other then made up when it became mutually beneficial for a reunion. same goes for gilbert and lebron.
of course the letter from gilbert was fueled by business. lebron leaving cost him ticket sales, concession sales, merchandise sales, tv deals etc. if lebron was 38 and in steep decline when he left would gilbert have posted that letter? of course not, he wouldve thanked him.

Limit is tiny. And it is drifting back down again. Initial move up fueled by Paul's words, but like I said in another thread, he has some agenda because he has been pushing Cleveland since Day 1.
If he spurns Cleveland again given all of the talk the past few days, he's an even bigger dick than I initially realized.

If I can middle this a few more times, even at low limits, I'm gonna make good $$$ no matter where he picks. I don't care if he signs with the pelicans now. Worst case now, I break even.

He won't I just checked out his website for the first time it's pretty clear he loves the people of Akron.......Ohio as a whole. Sad that I actually care about this I try not to but I do

Thing is, HE is not the one doing all the talk. For all anyone knows, the Cleveland interest could be one-sided.

LT... what's your take on the police being summoned to his street in Bath (either for celebratory or destructive reasons... lol)... the luxury auto moving trucks... the wine and gold Nike laden meeting room? Is that stuff all just bs? Seems like the writing is on the wall no?

10 year deal for max.
He has the option to go to Cleveland during any offseason.
Cavs pressed Celtics/Nets officials to complete paperwork on 3-way trade in last hour, needed it done "immediately." Cap space is clear now.

That doesn't really mean anything, Cavs were in a hurry to clear cap space so that they CAN make LeBron an offer, there were no assurances made.

Correlation. Parley Lebron to Cav and Bosh to Hou and also parlay other teams (if Lebron goes to Miami, so will Bosh)

You are in more denial about this than you are about your capping blind spots.

well even if Lebron signs, he will likely retire if sterling still owns clippers this coming up season. i wonder what the odds for him playing this coming up season would be. lebron is a man of morals as we all know.

It is a valid point, 5 Dimes doesn't put out $50 max props with the intention of being sharp.

Let's see, Pat Riley or Dan Gilbert? State income tax or no state income tax? Betray good friend D Wade opting out of 42 million last 2 years or piss off ungrateful Cavs fans and owner. Coach Spoe or a no name coach and GM he's never met? Play for a franchise he has been World Champ multiple times or one he didn't win any? Cleveland or South Beach in the winter? Clearly some tough choices to make.

What about the photos of majority of Lebron's vehicles being moved around? Semi's and flatbeds everywhere at his residence. Were they being repoed?
