would you stay in cleveland?


This is guy from ohio. Yet all his favorite teams are clubs that dominated, instead of home state heroes. Yankees of course, and his favorite football team is like cowboys or something.

For the nth season in a row. Cleveland failed to put guys around Lebron that are able to provide support. Lebron surely knows that that is odd. You'd think people woudl Want to play with him.

first, they had to get better than detroit. They did that. But, then boston beat them. So they got better than boston ( i 'spose), and now magic beats them.

I would think other pastures would start looking a good deal greener. Reggie is behind me now, talking about how great it was playing for a small market for 18 years. I am sure it was rewarding. But, Indiana never won it, sooo.

I guess he has another year to think it over. But if the 2nd and 3rd best scorers are Williams and West again, if next year plays out like this year, i would think him batshit crazy if he wanted to stay.

btw, i pointed out his support of non-ohio teams, just to show that he doesn't seem too big on Ohio, so it may not be too difficult to leave it.

If i was cheering for cowboys and wearing yankees hats while growing up in MI. People wouldn't have just picked on me, they would have seriously thought i was deranged. Unless, like my fam was from NY or something. I mean how do you grow up hoping your home teams lose? seems alien to me. Maybe that is what it is like, though, for small market teams. They may not take over the city/state as easily. I know, another small market team, SA, was relatively quiet about their dynasty.

i dunno. he does seem willing to leave, and that is probably enough to say he's going to leave. I mean, the only reason to stay (if they don't put some guy's around him) is because he's really loyal. but i think he's already indicated that he's not. So, i predict he leaves.

what are the rules regarding playing for way less money than yer worth? i know timmy left a lot of money on the table last time he signed, so that pop could get some more solid bench guys around him, and afford to keep tony on payroll. but aren't there rules surrounding that? could bronkey kong just goto brooklyn and go play for jay-z for 20 bucks a year, or is that illegal?

wouldn't that be funny if him and nash and dwade just went to brookly for cheap and smashed the nba into tiny pieces? i'm sure it could never happen, but still...

that would be awesome!

Good question. I wonder if their is a rule for that too. There must be, cause there must have been one guy who didn't care about multi millions at some point. Well, back in the day, they were all poor; but i mean recently:)

I, also, wonder if you can say, hey my contract is too much this year, i should get less, lol. Ben wallace, if he doesn't retire will make, what they say, $14-16 million next season? /gulp

Lebron is speaking pretty much the way he always does. Nah, nah, i love it here. It'd great! I am not thinking about leaving, yet. I'll think about it when that time comes (as if it is possible to not think about that).
