70% chance..............how about at least 6 titles too, these are the only two mega stars like this could pull it off and out aside egos and not be sellfish, James other option is to go to Orlando and win at least 8 straight titles with Howard.

Another JJ knee jerk post. Love these. I don't know cap numbers, but can anyone but the Knicks do this?Comment -
Miami can do it also, a few others too. Wade wants to play with James next year and not shy about saying it. Only chance Knicks have to get James is give his buddy Wade HUGE money too.Comment -
I doubt Wade will sign for the MLE, which is all cleveland has to offer
Lebron is going nowhere.Comment -
great postComment -
This doesn't make since for either of them. They both like to have the ball w/ no time on the clock, they both like to be the man, etc.... There are a lot better fits for lebron and wade. Just because you put 2 superstars on the same team doesn't = championships...Comment -
more like 15% chance.
jj being clueless with numbers is a daily occurrence.
James cannot go to Orlando. How exactly would they clear cap space? Cleveland would not do a sign-and-trade with Orlando, so that's out as well.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Do you mean Miami?Originally posted by yismanComment -
man this is confusing...wtf???? All i know is that there are a lot better fits for both players...This is not a pippen jordan combo...Comment -
0% chance. First scenario, Cleveland wins the championship this year. LBJ agrees to contract extension with Cleveland. Second scenario, Cleveland doesn't win championship. Lebron goes to the Knicks for an unGodly amount of money. Third scenario, Cleveland doesn't win Championship, but Lebron doesn't learn his lesson that Cleveland does not win Championships in any sports. He resigns and never does win a ringOriginally posted by yismanComment -
Originally posted by jjgoldNo. I was responding to jj. He said Orlando, which is nonsensical. Miami is actually a possibility.Originally posted by williams22
I also have to laugh at the idea of any team winning eight straight titles. That doesn't happen these days, no matter what talent you have. Friction develops, injuries occur, etc.
I disagree. If LeBron doesn't win with the team Cleveland put together for him (a pretty good supporting cast this year), he may go to another big time player and agree to join forces and find a team that can sign them both.Originally posted by ouman101
It's unlikely that LeBron winds up with another FA superstar, but it could happen. There are teams that have enough cap space or could clear enough cap space.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Orlando is not an option. They don't have the cap room. There is like zero chance of that happening.Comment -
Yisman, yeah I could see him joining another good program, but the main point is that I don't think he'll stay in Cleveland if he doesn't win a championship this year. He wants to be remembered as the best player, and to get that title he needs to start getting rings.Comment -
it's happening. bank it.Comment -
I would like to see thatComment -
Originally posted by ouman101
Agree with this. But I still think if he doesn't win this year, or atleast to the Championship, he will be gone. If he wins, they all stick together for 1 more year and he goes back 2 back.Comment -
wat are u talkin about, ungodly amount of money? knicks cant give them more money than the cavs.Originally posted by ouman101Comment -
It's definately a possibility
they have a planComment -
ESPN did a big writeup a few weeks back about how much LeBron loves NY. How he wore a Yankees Cap to a Cleveland Indians game etc. Cleveland has bent over backwards to get him guys to play with, looked after all of his interests, but that might not be enough. Wade says his heart is in Miami, but I can't see LeBron going there. It's definitely at least 50-50 that they find a team to play for togetherComment -
I don't know whether he'll return to Cleveland. You said there's a 0% chance of LeBron and Wade being on the same team.Originally posted by ouman101

You went from "70% chance" to "a possibility".Originally posted by jjgold
Sure it's a possibility.
It also is not close to 70% and I'd bet against it happening.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

one of them will be in phillyComment -
Wade is not going anywhere. Riley is a contender. Bosh or Amare come to Miami next year. If Wade and Lebron teamed up, I wouldn't even know what to make of it.
Kobe would probably just retire at that point because unless LA gets KD or another superstar caliber player like Joe Johnson, Bron and Wade will win 6 consecutive titles and make history.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Wade and Bron one the Knicks, I'd love it, but it ain't gonna happenComment -
those 2 could make it workComment -
Kobe wouldn't retire because of that. That doesn't make sense.Originally posted by Goat Milk
And I sincerely doubt they'd win six straight titles. As I said before, that stuff doesn't happen nowadays. It's hard enough just to win back to back championships.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

Your right. Still 0% chance that Lebron and Wade play on the same team. 90% chance he moves on if he doesn't win a championship this year.Comment -
If Lebron became a possibility I bet you that their wallets might 'somehow' become A LOT deeper. You realize how much money he would make them. The guy literally pays for himself with all the money that he brings to whoever he's playing for (ticket sales --> concessions, merchandise, advertising revenue, etc).Originally posted by jsmithj88Comment -
WADE + LEBRON = KOBE RetirementComment -
The only thing keeping Kobe going right now is winning 6 titles to stop the discussion for "who has more titles though Jordan or Kobe" up. Kobe is not going to waste his time with the league if he doesn't think he contend every year. Wade and Lebron will go down as 2 of the 15 greatest players in NBA history.Originally posted by yisman
Your wrong Yisman, any team that had Wade and Lebron and D-leaguers around them would win 6 straight championships. Can you imagine a coach having to gameplan for both Wade and Lebron 2 of the 3 greatest players on the planet? It's not possible.
Those guys are never going to play together, it would dramatically change the whole structure of the league. The good teams would become great and the shitty teams will become even shittier comparatively.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Kobe's not just going to give up and retire in either case, even if Wade, LeBron, and Bosh all signed with the same team.Originally posted by Goat Milk
It doesn't matter how much talent you have, too many things can get in the way to guarantee six titles in a row.Your wrong Yisman, any team that had Wade and Lebron and D-leaguers around them would win 6 straight championships.

Unless they'd be illegally paying him extra under the table, the Knicks can't do that.Originally posted by ouman101
LeBron might make more due to endorsements if he went to New York, but another team cannot offer what the original team can under the current salary cap structure.
Cleveland can offer him the most money.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

You probably right on this one. The salary cap structure is one thing that I'm not up to speed on.Originally posted by yismanComment
