everything you're responding with is behind the lines, the cavs did not announce any of that information, it was all made up by fans to make lebron look worse..
You're right the Cavaliers spending well above the Luxury tax out of the owners pocket to make them as competitive as humanly possible within the constraints of the Salary cap, or Lebron James public endorsements of player acquisitions is all made up by the fans to make him look worse. You know the same town who had an entire side of a building devoted to Lebron James.
lebron said miami gave him the biggest opportunity to win a championship and he took it, a one in a lifetime chance to team up with one of the best players in the league and a growing all star pf.. jordan had pippen later on in his career and a fairly deep roster..
It took Jordan 7 years to assemble that 'deep' roster, and never once did he waiver from Chicago. Even after losing year after year. He was a leader striving to get better and improve knowing that his day would come.
The Cavaliers were an NBA best during Lebrons last year. You want me to believe that the Cavaliers didn't have depth or talent on that roster? Despite having more wins than this years Heat roster?
the cavs have.. ? Sure delonte left.. Williams played a significant amount of the season so did jamison.. they did what.. there's no excuse for being the worst team in the nba just because delonte, lebron, and a non impact shaq left when you had the best record in the nba the year before(goes to show how much you needed lebron and that's the definition of mvp right there)..
Lebron was a great player for the Cavaliers (Easily the best on the roster). That does not mean that the Cavaliers didn't place tons of talent around him. That doesn't mean that the Cavaliers were chopped liver. They made Lebron the focal point of the team. The Jordan if you will.
Lebron tried his hardest 7 times with cleveland, and won nothing, even when he did legitimately win mvp last year, and was mvp the year before.. and cleveland didn't just lose BIG Z they traded him.. and he was barely resigned at the end of the season last year..
Jordan didn't sniff a championship until he was 28 years old. Lebron James is only 26 years old right now. The Cavaliers were in the finals just a few years ago (With that terrible, terrible team). It's a disgrace that Lebron didn't finish what he started in Cleveland. It proves he doesn't have the heart of a true competitor, champion or leader. He is a follower / front-runner and always will be. He is a great basketball player but Jordan he will never touch. At this point he is a lot more Dominique Wilkins than Michael Jordan.
rose is not the best player in the league.. he's in chicago..
Are you confusing best player in the league vs Most Valuable Player? Do we need to go down this route? Derrick Rose was the MVP to his team, in the NBA. Period. Wade or Lebron didn't need to play their best for Miami to win games. Derrick Rose is taking a far less star studded team and taking them to the same heights that Lebron,Wade,Bosh have. That is why he was the MVP for his team.
Wade's best season takes a load on rose's mvp season.. and wade won a championship his 2nd best season.. what if wade joined his dream team chicago..
Again you don't understand what MVP means. I'm not going to hold your hand explaining it to you.

you said rose was clearly the best player in the league this year.. when he wasn't clearly the best player in the league..
not whether or not he was the most valuable player of the league, you were responding to what I had said, yes his value to chicago was greatest, but his value to the league was not when there were 8 other players that had a better season than he did..
Wade didn't win mvp because lebron was the favorite along with kobe and even carmelo when they entered the league.. wade taking the heat over the mavericks in 2006 by himself(with a weak shaq) and he only won finals mvp.. not league.. considering he was literally doing things only jordan had ever done on an nba nasketball court.. and in 08 although his team only made the first round of the play offs, he wasn't even a big contendor for mvp despite clearly taking every heat team after 2007 into the nba play offs all by himself.. literally with rosters that make cleveland's current roster look like an all star assemble..
Rose has become the favorite after lebron became hated by the cleveland fans and then eventually the media.. rose being in chicago, and doing all star plays at times even jaw dropping plays only comparable to things lebron, wade, or kobe, or iverson, had done in their careers automatically makes him the favorite..
want to know how biased the media/nba is?
ROSE and kobe made it to the nba all nba first team
Wade didn't.. neither did Dirk who is one of if not the best PF in this league at the moment
no one here is comparing anyone to jordan either.. it's ok if jordan won a championship in 1991, but when he came back to the bulls later on in his career he won a couple of championships with pippen.. a hall of famer..
lebron left because the cavs weren't giving him the tools necessary for a championship(in your opinion delonte and mo is a roster, that isn't a roster, lebron was the only all star on that team, you expected him to beat rondo, garnett, allen, and pierce.. the celtics are the reason he even joined wade and bosh.. they blew out miami and cleveland and lebron has never beaten the celtics in a series, neither has wade) he did make it to the finals but failed against the spurs.. after that he never got that far into the play offs.. the fact the miami oppurtonity came up, is why he left cleveland, he said so himself.. he would have never been able to play with wade if he hadn't signed with miami.. chicago maybe, but he didn't want to follow jordan's legacy completely, he wanted a legacy for himself, same with d wade.. who is now hated in chicago for absolutely no reason.. what lebron did was legal in the nba, sure he broadcasted on live tv, but hey no one hated him when he announced he would.. only when he said "south beach"..
