Will you believe it when you see it?? There not worrying about their basketball salaries. There going to make it back on endorsements and under the table dealings. CP3 just signed with Lebrons management team, he'll get his money. They're trying to take over the league, there way. More power to them but I think the owners will find a way to stop it. Probably have a franchise tag like football.

Paul joins LeBron’s marketing company
By Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears, Yahoo! Sports Jul 8, 2:16 pm EDTComment -
James has been using his own reps – Rose and William Wesley – to help shop Chris Paul for trades this offseason, with Wesley telling teams that a key to signing James as a free agent would be cutting a deal for Paul.Comment -

so wat ur saying is that since he signed under lebrons team, hes coming to miami, then hes gonna take a huge pay cut, which will be made up through endorsements ......
u think he wants to play in miami that badly that hes willing to take the MLE and give up basically 10million a year??
makes NO SENSE. he can go to NYC mayb with carmelo and get the MAX and still get all the endorsements he wants.
carmelo and lebron are buddies
y doesnt carmelo take the veteran miniumum then they call all play together.Comment -
It's obvious he tanked games, watching the closeout game against the c's it was blatantly obvious. If you look at that tape watch mos demeaned toward lebron, as if he already knew what lebron was doing. Mo would not give lbj the ball the last minute and a half of the game. He already knew what we know today. I don't know of any athlete that would do that. All that blood sweat and tears just to jump ship and hang out with your boys for the rest of your career. I lost what little respect I had for the man once he had the espn interview. I also lost total respect for espn they have gone MTV of sports with worthless drama about favre and James instead of giving us hard core junkies some real time sports info.Comment -
hate hate hateComment -
he was so close to the finals, and this time he has jamison shaq and williams. why would he throw it away just to try another year. i dont believe. sounds kinda dumb to me. he didnt play 90+ games just to throw it away taht close. kid is just dumb and upset cus lebron wont ride on his ballsComment -
I hope Mo Williams now can enjoy being the "star" in Cleveland. Oh wait, we all know how that will work out. Mo is possibly the bigger flop than picking up Antwan last year to help carry the load to the Championship.Comment -
no one has the balls to say what is really going on here in the big picture>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THEY are ruining ALL of "OUR" sports????????????????????? El Tig're-Venus or Vigina Williams, Pack Man Jones, i got a pack man jones baby ooh ooh, Plastico Burr up my ass, Vince Yo Young (not chinese), Little Dog Michael Vick, THE BENGALS (the whole team of convicts), Low Ball Lowerence Taylor, O.J. Simpson, and now the one and only Retard Jessie James Jackson (hell Michael Jackson looks good now) and it goes on, and on, and on, just AXE ME?
Sorry THEIR names (8675309 san quintin) will never be on my jersey. GOD BLESS THE LARRY BIRD'S OF THE WORLDComment -
Guys it's no secret LeBron tanked these games. He wanted OUT of Cleveland.
A championship run wouldn't allow him to leave the city.Comment -

great stuff. made a lot of money from it tooComment -
Yawn........ my third cousin says LeBron partied too much before games. So what.Comment -
Wade defended the NBA's two-time reigning MVP on Thursday, telling The Associated Press that James "didn't quit" on Cleveland during the playoffs. That was the accusation made by Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert last week, not long after James went on television to reveal he was leaving Cleveland for Miami.
"He's not a quitter," Wade said. "He didn't quit."
In an interview with the AP on July 8, Gilbert not only levied the quitting charge, but said James got "a free pass" for too long. The NBA fined Gilbert $100,000 earlier this week for some of his comments, with commissioner David Stern saying they were too extreme for the league's liking.
Wade said he watched every game in Cleveland's second-round series against Boston, the team that eliminated the Heat in the opening round of the postseason. The Celtics used a similar defensive scheme against James as they did against Wade to open the playoffs, throwing a slew of challenges in the way of both.
"LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, guys like that understand what Boston's defense was about," Wade said. "Their defense was built on not letting one player beat them. You either settle for the outside shot or you pass to your teammates. LeBron had one bad game in the playoffs. Other than that, he did what he could do with the defense all watching him."
The Cavs lost to the Celtics in six games, but Wade pointed out that in the series finale, James finished with 27 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists.
Nonetheless, Gilbert told the AP, "Watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar."
The Cavaliers were beaten by 32 points in Game 5, a stunning loss at home. During the game, James appeared distracted and disinterested, often glaring at Cleveland's coaches as the Cavs tried to foul to get back into the game in the second half. James also made some puzzling postgame comments, saying he had "spoiled" people with his play over seven seasons.
In that Game 5 loss to Boston, James scored 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting.
In Game 6 against Boston, even as now-former Cavs coach Mike Brown tried to get his players to foul as time was winding down, James appeared to wave him off, seeming almost resigned that the season was ending and there was nothing Cleveland could do at that point. Gilbert also said he believes James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of their series in 2009 against Orlando.
"I don't see where you can get where he quit," Wade said. "He just had one bad game. It happens. Kobe had a bad game in the Finals. They won. It didn't matter. LeBron's teammates didn't help him out that game and it made the way he played even worse. But he's not a quitter. He didn't quit."
As James pointed out in his welcome-to-Miami event on July 9, Bryant made only 6 of his 24 shots in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against Boston, which his Los Angeles Lakers won anyway for their second straight NBA title.
"He knew he had help and guys came through for him," James said last week of Bryant's Game 7 showing in the Finals.
James was the subject of countless jokes during Wednesday's ESPY Awards, and Wade saw the humor in some of them. Others, however, had him bristling.
"You get defensive with things like that," Wade said. "He's a good friend. You understand people say it because it's a hot topic. They wanted people to react in a positive way or a negative way, just because it's a hot topic to talk about. It's a punch line. They just wanted to have something to do with it. They wanted to feel involved in some way."Comment -
