Thats a championship squad right there

Not sure I'll start pulling for him yet, but he did gain a little respect from me. Even though I'm smart enough to know that this is a ploy and exactly what he's trying to do by doing it this way. EVERYTHING he does now is carefully planned by not only him, but his 'handlers' I'm sure. Either way this is better than creating a stupid media circus.

All these type comments are annoying, at the least. What he did last time was made bigger than it was. He's always been a very respectful, level headed, family oriented guy who stays out of trouble and plays hard. A good role model. If my kid said he wanted to be like LJ, I'd be happy with that. He's always had my respect. He was thrust onto the national stage at an age when most of us were acting like complete idiots. He's handled things well.

I actually think Parker has more upside defensively. Wiggins is weak up top to me and I think he'll have a touch time rebounding and mixing it up in the middle at the nba level. Parker is great with help side defense which would allow Lebron to play tight press coverage on the perimeter. would be amazing to see those guys flying around the court together.

If Wiggins can get stronger, he could be the total package though.

Completely the opposite. The big knock in Parker was his defense at duke both on and off the ball. Wiggins forwent his senior year in HS, so for the weak up top part, expect that to change. He should be a freshman in college right now. Both parker and wiggins are more of a three too, so neither would be a perfect fit. They will deal wiggins and try everything to get love.

I've never disliked him. I hated Wade. Wade got Bron and then turned into a big time shit talker because he knew Bron would handle his fights for him. I want to see the Heat get throttled every game and Wade be the one left holding the stick.

I don't like the guy, so what? Respectful, hardworking? Yes, I think he is. I just don't like him. I didn't say anything about last time as my dislike really has nothing to do with last time. I actually thought it was funny, but hated the media circus about it. Not liking your hero doesn't make someone an idiot.

I respect Lebron a lot more after reading that article. Things can get real interesting now with who goes where. Will Kevin Love end up with Lebron? Will he head to Golden State? Will Houston deal Lin to make room for Bosh and Parsons? Will Carmello team up with D-Rose in Chicago? There are a lot of moves left to be made, and I think there will be more parity in the NBA next year, which is good for viewership, in my opinion. I am personally excited to see what will happen in the coming weeks for each team's roster.

his legacy will be comparable to MJ of he wins some championships in Cleveland.

Houston sent Lin to the lakers. Should match the parsons offer sheet and get bosh soon

Meanwhile in San Antonio…

Awesome, 61!!!!

The thought of Irving, Love, and James on the same squad.....whew.....that's gonna be a good team. It's interesting the Cav's are talking about moving Wiggins, who was actually compared to James out of HS, but hasn't nearly reached his potential yet. Moving Bennett is a no-brainer, but I'd like to give Wiggins some time to work with this unit. If he can get a good jumper, then this team is gonna be disgustingly good, as long as Love and Irving learn how to play defense, which I'm sure LeBron will teach them.

So, reports are that Bosh will stay with the Heat (for a huge contract, that he isn't worth, in my opinion). Does this mean the Rockets will be able to sway Carmello now?

Why wouldn't the Heat go after Melo now? Just a thought

[CadaverDawg]

That's good stuff

[Political Hack]

Cavs will need one more outside shooter with that group, but Allen is still looking and could go to Cleveland too. JBJ needs someone who can perch on the wing and drill 3's from the corner consistently. He's a much better player with 1-2 of those guys on the floor with him.

Melo doesn't want to go to the heat bc he doesn't want lebron comparisons. (PTI was talking about it, don't know how true that is). Bosh signed for a big contract, but not Max so they have a bit of cap space to go out and field a decent team, 4-5 in the east likely. The rockets are the team who may truly get screwed here. Looks like melo isn't even considering them, bosh is gone, and they traded Jeremy Lin. They'll need to get parsons by tomorrow or he's gone too, and while all that clears up a lot of cap room for them, there's no one left that's really worth it IMO. So it's interesting to see what happens to them

Check this kid^ out. Wearing his old burnt up Lebron jersey to the Cleveland Indians game tonight. Hahaha

Here's some food for thought on why LBJ went back to Cleveland. It's super long, but worth the read, especially if you like reading about the all-time great players. I think Simmons is really onto something with this idea. Side note: I didn't LBJ had been in the Association so long, played so many games, and logged so many minutes. It's insane how much wear-and-tear he has to have on him now.
