| Bladeneo said: The hate for Miami really is quite funny; LeBron no doubt handled the situation terribly but it was well within his right to leave an awfully managed Cleveland team. I'm sure he got sick of making Mike Brown look like an above average coach, and after Dan Gilbert's comments, his decision was all the more vindicated. |
Saying he handled it terribly was an understatement.
There was like no way he could of handled that worse without committing a crime.
It's probably the worse PR move ever.
Outside of like... OJ Simpson killing his wife... and the sad thing is... that's not an exageration.
That's the only time I can think of public opinion swaying this much.
One thing that I really think sets people off is a subconsious realization of the trouble that would bring if more people DID do this.
Think about it. Money doesn't REALLY matter, 30 million or 25 million does it matter for the stars when they have 80 million dollar shoe deals?
So lets say stars start making superteams like Lebron and Wade did.
There is no point in having a team outside of Florida, California, New York, and Texas.
They offer way more then any of the midmarket teams can in the terms of intangibles.
With money being an option, every team had the possibility of drafting a star and having a star...
If they start going wherever they want with a disregard for money... well you could fold up a lot of franchises right now.
Or relocate them all too the outer rims of the country slowely.
This is something that would not be good for buisness.
