LeBron James Discussion Thread

[Mexi]

geez, i got no idea

im not even going to give a prediction. flat out do not know

will be a fun july 1st. thats when the fun really starts

 

[elcheato]

Clippers 100% guarantee

 

[Mexi]

Clippers it is!

i just think he'd rather stay in the East

Come to L.A., got to deal with Kobe and the Lakers, CP, Deron, up and coming Thunder, Carmelo, etc

East has some talent too, dont get me wrong, but there's an easier path over there than in the West IMO
Celtics are getting old, Magic can be be beat, after that, who cares right now?

 

[elcheato]

The only thing he would have to worry about is thee Thunder, Kobe isn't going to last much longer, Jazz will never be a championship contender until they get an owner who can afford the team, Nuggets are a mess, and the Hornets are a mess.

 

[Mexi]

he's not going to the Clippers

i think it's Knicks or Cavs
end of the day, i say he stays

or maybe Nets, they're a sleeper

ugh, i gave a prediction when i said i didnt have one

 

[elcheato]

I was saying it as a joke if you didn't realize lol. I wonder if the Suns would be up for signing and trading Amare for Hickson in July.

 

[Mexi]

of course

i think it could work with the Clips, i just dont think he wants to share L.A. with the Lakers

 

[elcheato]

It would never work with the Clippers. All the way from players, coaches and then a lot to do with Donald Sterling.

 

[Mexi]

Donald Sterling will pay up. he's said it

and look at what they've done.
big extension to Dunleavy (yeah i know)
gave a big extension to kaman
gave a large contract to Baron

they're going to make an offer for LeBron, i just dont think he'll take it

 

[elcheato]

I didn't mean money side of things..

 

[RipCity32]

TBH, if the Clippers were to get LeBron, I think they would lock up a title. His supporting cast would be too good not to win one with.

 

[Mexi]

if they stay healthy, they'd be really really good, but that whole starting 5 is injury prone (minus Bron)

Kaman is always hurt
Baron is always hurt
Griffin missed an entire season
Eric Gordon pisses me off with all his little injuries too.

From Realgm

If LeBron Leaves, Value Of Cavs Could Drop $150M

Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert could see the value of his franchise drop drastically if LeBron James leaves as a free agent this summer.

The New York Daily News, citing league executives, reports that the value of the team could drop as much as $150 million if James signs with another team.

 

[getyappcrnredy24]

imagine if he just decided to take like less money and go to the Lakers or something and win like 10 championships with Kobe. lol..
Not going to happen, but that would be insane..

 

[Whisper]

 

[elcheato]

I'm starting to think he is going to stay.. During the games against Boston he really wasn't listening to Mike Brown or the coaches and just seemed to not even care. If he knew he was gonna leave I would hope he would try his hardest and try to bring Cleveland a title, but that's not what happened, and maybe he was just trying to get the coaching staff fired so he can get the guys he wants in..

Or I could be dead wrong..

 

[cruzg24]

Damn LBJ looks good in a Knicks or Nets uniform, lol.

LeBron's "team" seen wearin Bulls gear @ a Troy Smith event last nite. Brace yourself Cavs fan this is goin to b a wild month as expected

Shortly after Cleveland was eliminated by Boston in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, LeBron James placed a call to Bulls guard Derrick Rose.

What did they talk about?

Word is, James said he likes Rose's game, likes his team and would welcome the chance to play together.

Before putting LeBron's No. 6 Bulls jersey up for sale, keep in mind that it's possible James made similar calls to Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Maybe even Nets center Brook Lopez. But it has been made clear through various channels that James is very interested in joining the Bulls when he becomes a free agent on July 1.

New York, New Jersey and Miami figure to be James' top options, along with re-signing in Cleveland. Staying with the Cavaliers is starting to seem less likely after the early playoff exit exposed flaws in the team's winning formula.

The James phone call to Rose was mentioned by ESPN reporter Scoop Jackson and confirmed by a league source. Rose has been taking things slowly since the Bulls season ended with a first-round loss to Cleveland, but he visits the Berto Center on occasion. The source said the James-Rose conversation did not last very long.

 

[elcheato]

lol at LeBron's team wearing Bulls gear, he's not going to do anything to reveal his plan. He's been messing with people's minds since 2008.

 

[RipCity32]

Former New York Knicks player Charles Oakley, said to be close to Cavs super star Lebron James, claims he won't be staying in Cleveland. James is a free agent and has been grabbing headlines during the current Playoffs as his team exited early and there is much speculation as to whether he will remain in a Cavaliers uniform come next season.

Oakley says that won't happen.

"Chicago or Miami. Not New York. He's leaving. He wants to go someplace where he can win. He's been in the league, what, seven or eight years? It's time for him to get over the hump."
