Wow after how that manager dogged him and how the city cursed him and burned jerseys etc wow. Well as a long time Heat fan I wish him the best there and now my team has PLENTY of cap space to rebuild! Hopefully they make some good moves and get some more key players!


So far they have been doing a terrible job since they just overpaid Bosh I guess they are still in full panic mode.

I didn't know that the Suns where that bad on defense when the Bulls played them in the finals.  I guess the best two teams the Bulls beat during their title run where those two Jazz squads after all.

The mindless hate Lebron gets is funny. And haha @ comparing him to situations like Tim Duncan, who was drafted onto an elite team, or Jordan, who by the time he was on the Bulls as long as Lebron was on the Cavs, had Phil and Scottie. Or Kobe, who not only bitched and whined to the media wanting a trade when his front office was slacking, but he actually manipulated his draft to go to a better team. And yeah Kobe is still a Laker. Probably because... you know, theyre the only team that would pay him 20+ million a year still. Kobe would be dumb to turn that down.


This is why people hate when it comes to Lecramp.

He should NOT be getting the hype he gets based on his play. He's a good player, but that's it.

Oh ok, so because cherry picked stats from one playoff series dont match cherry picked stats from the GOAT on a different team with a different opponent in a different system in a different era, he can't be a great player. Thanks.

Stats don't lie. Hype does.


Misleading, hand picked stats collected to suit a petty agenda certainly do lie :)

I personally don't think that was an over payment to be honest. It was a good SMART move. Bosh is still an elite player in this league and without LBj on the team he can expand more into the type of role he had with the raptors where he played a lot better. They got Granger and McRoberts. Norris Cole is steadily improving, Birdman is still a solid rebounder and okay defender. UD is still there, they just go tthat rookie who has being doing very well. D-Wade will be forced to step his game back up to how he was playing before he got Lazy when LBJ joined. And they now have more cap space to add other key pieces. I have no clue why everyone is seeming to think they are panicing or falling apart....they are rebuilding so they are good.

Seems more like you picked THOSE particular stas because they fit your agenda.....he deserves the hype because he is just that GREAT of a player....people don't hate on scrubs they hate on greats...like you seem to be doing lol.

They haven't resigned Anderson or Haslem. So far the only people they have under contract for next season is Bosh, Cole, McRoberts, Granger and Napier.  They still need to sign at least seven more people.

Oh well that is still a good thing they still have cap space. And I honestly can't see Haslem or Anderson going anywhere else. Haslem espeically.

Anderson probably is going to leave since he would rather play for a contender.  Haslem will probably resign since he never played for another team and only has a few years left in him.



I think he did the right thing. If I was him I'd rather play with Kyrie and Wiggins than Wade and Bosh. Nothing against Bosh, who is an elite player (though if I was him, I'd rather go to Houston and compete instead of staying in Miami and never competing again. A lineup of Beverly, Harden, Parsons, Bosh and Howard would be a monster in the Playoffs), but D-Wade is becoming Dead-Weight due to his knees.

The story about coming home is a great excuse to jump shit to a better team. Now I'm just wondering what Wiggins, Bennett and Waiters are going to show this season and the next one (which should be the one in which they get a legitimate shot at the title). It's also interesting which big guys are they gonna have. Cause the little guys look incredible. Kyrie-Dellavedova, Wiggins-Waiters, James-Bennett. Now just the PF and C spot to fill, though LBJ can obviously play some PF. They say they may trade Wiggins for Love... I don't know how I feel about it, but Love is a good player...



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Looks like he might only stay in Cleveland for one year since he as a opt out clause in his current contract.  Doubt he will really stay with Cleveland for the rest of his career or he would have signed a longer deal then just a two year contract.  My guess is if things don't turn out well next season he will opt out and if he doesn't come close to another title in the next two years he will sign with someone else in two years.
