LeBron James: "I'll Leave Cleveland if My Hand is Forced"

[GNG]

With the skills required to write in the media today and the seemingly endless supply of internet, it amazes me that we have any unemployment at all.

Journalists and used car salesmen have similar skills.

Lakers would take LeBron in a L.A. second, bitch or not.

You got that right, but he won't come cheap and I am betting that the illustrious owner of the Cavaliers will refuse to trade

When is the new TV deal and CBA? Is it next year or the year after?

Year after.

Yeah, they would.

Honestly, as a Lakers fan, I'm not sure how I'd feel about it. On the one hand, I'd be happy because d-bag or not, the guy is the best player in the world and makes any team he's on pretty much an instant contender.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want to deal with all of the bullshit that comes with having him on your team. Also, if he was being serious about "no more long term deals", I wouldn't want to have to go through the FA bullshit with him every other year. Especially if they are going to include 1 year opt outs.

I don't know why LBJ didn't sign with the Lakers sooner, he'd never have to worry about trying to take potential game winners. He could have happily deferred to Kobe as much as he wanted or didn't want. Kind like what he did with D Wade, except better.

if he does leave will "the letter" be remember for than "the decision"

You're shocked by this?

You Miami Heat fans were when most of you didn't believe there was any shot of your Queen leaving Miami. That goes for the bandwagon fans as well. Just saying.

I don't think he could possibly leave after this season, but even as good as he is, if he did, I doubt any/many top teams would want him IF he insisted on opt outs after every year.

Same thing can still happen. James could do the heavy lifting for 3 quarters and let Kobe take over in the 4th.

How could we predict that Gilbert would offer him total control of the franchise?

The greenest grass he will ever have was the lawn he just left to go back to that hell hole aka Cleveland.

if im an up and coming coach id take pass on coaching a team LeBron is on. that is for sure

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, they would.

Well well well, look what uncle CL rolled up on...

I know how i'd feel about it. I don't want his prima donna ass despoiling the colors of my team. This clown proves over and over again what a diva he truly is...

 

[#1BostonFan]

I highly doubt he leaves, but today is his 30th B-Day, so I will see how many more years he can be the best in the league. I don't see him jumping ship at this point.

Honestly, I don't either. But him even threatening to do so says a lot about him, imo and none of it good.

I might have to revive my thread "How soon does Lebron Regret returning to Cleveland" - At the time every one thought that was totally impossible

I gotta admit your words might've carried some weight at the time after all...
