everybody will be hating on south beach

[quote=Bradyd;5405845]

why do people keep throwing this out there? you think people that make millions of dollars give a flying fvck about taxes?[/quote]

Did you really just say that? How clueless are some of the people on this board??

are YOU serious?

like i said if it was about money, he would go to new york or new jersey. miami not having to pay state tax is nothing compared to that, and therefore it has nothing to do with where he is going

[Buckeye]

F Lebron, the dude has not proved anything in his career except he know how to lose when it counts, now he will have Wade help him by taking the clutch shots that he could never make.

[triqy]

I dont know why, but I just cant see the guy leaving his hometown??

[DennisGreen]

Heard from a friend of a friend that owns a bar in Miami that Lebron has a private party set up for tomorrow. He's going to Miami folks

[gtkid911]

Lebron is gone from Cleveland. They didnt do anything to help themselves. At least the Knicks got Amare

[hoopster42]

the bettors are all over miami, you know what to do now

No, if it was about making the most money, he would choose elsewhere. But saying that money has absolutely nothing to do with it is ludacris. Taxes are huge for millionaires, really huge. And for you to think otherwise is just...well let's just say that it shows your lack of knowledge about the importance of money....

[Dirty Sanchez]

Well if he goes to Chicago...I'm going to get laser eye surgery by next Tuesday with the profit..lol I'm just hoping he does the presto-chango and screws the so called experts.

brad i think you missed my initial point. of course they care about taxes......but not enough to sway their decision on playing for a team.

[sportsmom911]

dam people really got gambling problems betting on where a player is gonna sign thats for suckers

[Robber]

lol there are like 80 threads on lebron

[venice2222]

Even if big 3 end up in Miami, Lakers still have to be favorites going into next season.

[Atomicdog]

I'd go to Miami if I was him. No State tax on all that money. SOLD!

So what exactly are you trying to argue?

That he is choosing Miami over Cleveland because of 500k a year but not going to new york or new jersey even though he can make 20mil more a year? Yea taxes are huge and what factored into LeBrons decision.

you guys arguing the money perspective are fukkin clueless

yep when i saw it dip from -500 to -400 i posted in 1 of the 40 threads on this that this heat line is doin the same thing as the knicks last night.

maybe cleveland is the real pick

Cleveland was +310 at 6 PM at 5D, dropped to +245 by 6:30. that's good enough for another 5u for me. put a couple units on it last week at +280. i'll tell you one thing: it didn't move because of public money from Cleveland. these poor people are constantly waiting for a meteor to hit. and no one else in the country even considers that he might stay. by 9:15 tonight, the Cavs faithful will be feeling much better.

BOL to all tonight. going out downtown to watch the announcement.

[steveC3]

why go to miami and play with wade when he can go head to head with him an be an iconn?

not to mention they were #1 and #2 in NBA last season in terms of amount of time that the ball was in their hands. it's cute for an all-star game, but for 100+ game season, it's a stylistic and chemistry nightmare.

-175 now at 5 dimes. WTF is Tony doing over there? It's being reported pretty much EVERYWHERE that he is signing with Miami. I got a connect that lives in Miami and he said Lebron and his team have booked a room in Miami for the celebration afterwards. Not sure if it's true, but I do know Miami is one hell of a city.

One of the strangest things I have witnessed as far as line movement in my life.

i dont see lebron leaving..what is he going to make an hour long program to say "****" off to his hometown?..just dont see it happening,about tax break..you think he cares about saving 400k or whatever it is? hes leaving 30 million on the table to save half a mil? if he leaves,its a mistake on his part,his legacy will be somewhat ehhh if he joins wade and bosh,he's sort of being a pussy

i dont think hes leaving.i think the books are putting that high number so people will bet on it cuz they know how stupid people are,i put a few hundred on cleveland +220

lol @ 400k. The number would be much larger buddy. In the millions. We are talking no tax for ALL of his income. Not just his basketball contract.

[djiddish98]

This is going to be the biggest smoke screen in the history of marketing / sports reporting.

[BiffTFinancial]

i wish i was on your bet instead. gl

thanks, pal. i agree 100% with the point above: there's no reason for the hour-long special just to kick Cleveland and Akron in the pills. that's not just mean. that's like Ike Turner mean.

[threats77]

im not sure what the figure is,i saw an article of what he'd pay in taxes if he went to all the places that are interested in him,the 30 million is more,i just dont see him leaving.reporters are 80% wrong(im being generous here),theyve always been bser's

lbj is gonna get killed if hes ever out in public in clev,miami still needs some shooters,rebounders,shot blockers..offensively miami will be unstoppable but they still have to get good role players
