As of right now theres a 75% chance lebron will stay in cleveland. His entire family and lots of his friends are there. But if next year is another failed year it will go to 50/50 or even like 40/60 if the cavs do really terrible. All lebron wants to do is achieve greatness and he can only do that by winning championships and cleveland is a bunch of losers, so he will end up in NY and put them back on the map. Just think a couple good drafts + david lee and maybe keep duhon thats a good start and then bring in lebron and another high caliber player and your an instant contender.Comment -
I really think its even higher than 75% I think its more like 90% at this time that he stays in Cleveland.....but a lot can change in a year.Comment -
Don't forget Kenny "The Jet" Smith and did they not have Robert Horry who actually has a shot at being a Hall of Famer on their squad as well. I think the Pistons had less individual talent then any team I can remember as Billups is the only true All-Star. Ben Wallace was your Rodman type guy outside of that you had a bunch of role players getting the job done as well. If I was as desperate for a Championship as Lebron take the pay cut to get more talent around you. He already makes enough through endorsements anyway. Gilbert Arenas even took a pay cut even though it was a small one he still did it.Originally posted by hoopster42Comment -
My sources tell me that Atlanta Hawks is the front runner to land Lebron James. They are offering Josh Smith, Zaza Pachulia and Acie Law IV for Lebron. This will be huge for Hawks fans next year.
Bibby, Johnson, Williams, Lebron, Horford.

Odds are he stays in Cleve because they can offer him the most money.
Secondly off topic a run and gun offense loses in the 1st round of playoffs no matter who is on your team, it does not work in the nba.Comment -
Im not sure how you calculate your odds, but lebron has had two chances to sign an extension and declined both, it will be round three this off season, not sure why anybody would be very optimistic. Its not about money hes going to get the same contract where ever he goes.Originally posted by james4512
If you go out to a bar and ask a girl out twice and she says no, I would put alot smaller odds on her saying yes the third time than 75%.Comment -
this is what i thought BEFORE the series against the magic. he had made the finals in 07 and had the best record this yr, if they had at least made the finals this yr but lost, at least he knows his team can help him get there and they are missing maybe one piece. but after gm 6, the way he exited and the explanation 1 day afterwards when he had time to cool down, he did not apologize. he wants to win more than anything, and i believe that if they do not at least make the finals next season, he will leave for greener pastures. he wants to win first and foremost and this is obvious. most major nba stars who have won have done so away from their home cities. michael, bird, magic, they were all in major markets. if you think that lebron has a 90% chance of staying then you must think the cavs have a 90% chance of making the finals next yr because anything short of that and i can make a near guarantee that he's phukken goneOriginally posted by AMBlai01Comment
