I don't get it. LeBron left as a free agent, did miami give the cavs draft picks because they felt bad for em?
Please explain. James wants "traded" so I don't get it

Traded LeBron James, Cavaliers option to swap 2012 first round picks (not exercised) to Heat for second round pick (protected top 40 in 2011-12, unprotected in 2013) (2011 #54-Milan Macvan), Cavaliers option to swap 2012 first round picks (not exercised), 2012 second round pick (#34-Jae Crowder), first round pick (protected top 10 in 2013-14, unprotected in 2015) (2013 #30-Nemanja Nedovic), first round pick (2 years following the year in which Heat satisfies its obligation to convey a future first round draft pick to Cavaliers, protected top 10 in 2015-16, unprotected in 2017) (?-?), $14.5M trade exception on 2010-07-09

It was actually done as a sign and trade, believe it or not. Cleveland got all these assets and then the ping pong balls. If Cleveland still can't win they are a joke.

was a sign and trade, could happen this time around as well.

Interesting. Nobody talking about that. They should give those future picks back lol.

Had no clue! Wow. It definitely should be a sign and trade again

Yes it was a sign and trade was a huge dispute on wsex.com because they had a market on which team lebron would sign with 4 years ago

So if someone bet the heat they lost on that decision since it was a sign and trade?

I think WSEX graded Miami at first but guys complained he signed with Cleveland technically not sure what happened but was a lot of money though the book was going bankrupt at the time too.
