Lebron to NY!

NY? What about Chicago? lol...

But man, Boston might close this one out next game at home.

**blix177** · 05-11-10, 11:18 PM

Why NY?

**Grosshhit** · 05-11-10, 11:41 PM

Buckeye I am with you bro, Im from Cleveland and I am a diehard Cavs fan. I cant believe Bron's performance tonight but I still dont want him to leave C-town, because if he leaves, can you imagine the fallout from the Cavaliers organization. This town is so hungry for a championship its sick. Without Lebron and Company next year, Cleveland may turn into the New Jersey Nets and you better believe there will be no one at their games. Cavs will move. No more basketball in Cleveland. So basically if Lebron leaves, he is taking basketball out of Cleveland.

Lebron stank up Cleveland today. Pathetic.

**eidolon** · 05-11-10, 11:54 PM

New York will pick up Lebron and Boozer.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 05-11-10, 11:54 PM

I've heard rumors that the Knicks are pursuing Phil Jackson to come to NY and bring Wade with him. That would give them a great opportunity to get Lebron. Imagine if the Knicks get John Wall in the draft as well???

phil isnt going to a rebuilding team

**eidolon** · 05-12-10, 12:02 AM

Lebron and Wade aren't that good of a combo. Maybe if Wade was a better shooter.

Think what you want but don't be surprised to see Phil and Jeanie Buss in NY along with Wade and Lebron.

Who the hell thinks that NY would have to rebuild if they get both of them and a John Wall? The Knicks role players are better than the Cav's players. HELLO

Wow, did you even watch the Olympics??? How would a team guard both Lebron and Wade? They would immediately be favorites in the East. I sure don't want to see it happen as I'm a Cav fan but the conversation is being made...

**Congruency** · 05-12-10, 12:50 AM

wow lebron mailed it in today...still think he stays in CLE though

**Goat Milk** · 05-12-10, 03:06 AM

LeBron and David Lee would be sick with it. We'll see. Lebron will go wherever he has a chance to win a ring, he doesn't care about contract money- the guy makes a lot more off endorsements- he's already the face of the NBA, going to NY won't make a difference for him as a celebrity.

**Goat Milk** · 05-12-10, 03:08 AM

Phil Jackson isn't leaving LA

Wade and Bron playing together probably wouldn't happen, and if it did, they would win the title with scrubs on their team.

LOL at the person that said Wade's not a good shooter. It takes 2-3 guys to contain Wade. And 2-3 to contain Lebron.

I'm assuming coriander = colander? Maybe you were eating when you wrote this.

Nevertheless, Shoe I don't know if I'd be extremely excited if I were you. Somewhat excited? Ok. But he's not the Messiah who can repair your team as evidenced today.

I said this in Goat's thread: If Lebron leaves Cleveland next year, I'll be interested to see how many people outside of Ohio will still call themselves Cavs fans. I agree your city may be fvkked if he's gone which sucks. But I don't think he's going to be able to deliver what y'all hunger for. The dude has no heart. Plain and simple.

**jjgold** · 05-12-10, 05:29 AM

Chicago is his best fit

**beanbag** · 05-12-10, 05:29 AM

Portland!!!

**zafzaf** · 05-12-10, 05:54 AM

looking forward to summer 2010..will be interesting

**HustleGetPaid** · 05-12-10, 06:28 AM

Can't believe so many people saying LeBron doesn't have heart or no intergrity. Cavs wouldn't be shit without LeBron. Like I stated earlier I've been a LeBron fan since I heard of him in high school. He doesn't have a supporting cast or coach that knows what he is doing!!! If LeBron does leave I'd like to see him paired with Wade or Stoudemire. But LeBron has to know this Cavs team and coach aren't built to win the chip. I'm not giving up on the series but watching that shit last night was depressing. If the Cavs win the next game they will win the series.

No disrespect here but can you honestly tell me that he was a player with heart in a game 5 playoff match at home? I don't have a dog in the race with any of these teams. My time of loving a team, or even players for that matter, passed with Bird, Jordan, Magic, even damn Kevin McHale. So it's not like I like or dislike him for any reason.

All I know is that if I were a Lebron fan, I wouldn't be running around in his jersey right now. It doesn't matter if he's injured - if it's that bad, man up, realise you're crushing the dreams of your teammates and even worse the fans and take yourself the hell out of the game. And it doesn't matter if your supporting cast isn't there. He blew it tonight. If it wasn't for his invisible supporting cast they may as well have called the game done after 2 minutes.

Bosh a Laker that does not make any sense

If he was on the Lakers he would not even get in the game.

**HustleGetPaid** · 05-12-10, 06:57 AM

Cavs were up 10 I believe in the 2nd before Celtics went on a 16-0 run to end the half. What I mean by supporting cast is during the playoffs you play the same team for so many games. Players have to step up to the challenge when the other team makes adjustments and no one on the Cavs have. All this talk of LeBron career is over is just ludacris!!! He's only 25 yrs old and isn't even in his prime. Team him with a legit 2nd option and it'll
be scary for the rest of the league. I means every other great player that has won had their 2nd fiddle
guy.

**cmle123** · 05-12-10, 07:01 AM

What about golden state. i believe he can grab one with golden state. Golden state has offense everywhere so he would fit right in. memphis. The team that only win on road but lose at home because barely have any fan.

How the lakers are projected to be well over the cap -

The only way to get Bosh would be a sign/Trade deal -- id they do that the lakers are going to give up Gasol ?

There really isn;t any other way they can swing that deal to make up for the projected 16M that Bosh would be due.

**3PtShooter** · 05-12-10, 07:05 AM

bye bye

I haven't heard anyone say his time is over. I think he's actually a bit of a victim in the whole thing. He is not a champion. nor the greatest thing since sliced bread and should never be referred to as a great player until he has at least a ring but the media have hyped him up so much that people have bought into the fact that he's supposed to save/change/shoulder the burden of a team. He can't.

You're right - he's 25 years old. In a league where he was drafted at 19 years of age. He has 6 years professional experience, and has been treated as a legend from the get go. He is an awesome player as far as stats are concerned but you can still lose the game even if you've scored 50 points alone. And when you score 17, well, sorry, but if you can't find it in yourself to adjust and put yourself in the race when you need to step up and at least try to win the game then get the hell out of it. Even having a debut scrub in there may have been more effective in this game.

It took MJ 6 years in the NBA to even reach a final. And Lebron beat him to that. But then MJ went on to win 6 rings in 7 years, and who knows if he would've won 7 straight if he didn't pursue his silly baseball dream. Magic has 5, Kobe has 4, Bird has 3. You watch any of the games where these guys were even slightly on the ropes and they stepped up bigtime. I'm not bashing Lebron - as I said, I don't care. But if he doesn't find some hunger within himself he'll merely go down as a great player in a certain decade. Not one of the best of all time.

lebron drafted at 18. 7 years experience. jordan reached finals his 7th year. 6 rings in 8 years for mj, so possible 8 straight but very unlikely they could of beat orlando in 1995.

**gafl** · 05-12-10, 08:56 AM

Could see James signing with NJ. Some good young players and he has connections with management. Knicks can sign 2 max free agents, but I don't think they could then resign Lee. Knicks have no #1 pick for 2 years to help in a sign and trade for point guard help. Knicks have to get bigger and better on the front line, where the Nets have a good young center to work with.
