Official Offseason News and Rumors

[bksballer89]

Chris Sheridan is convinced James is going to the Cavs.

So am I.

 

[lakersrule]

So NOT true.
You should see Allen's oceanfront house and private beach.
His family considerations mean a ton.

Are any of them guaranteed to win a ring next year in Cleveland?
I highly doubt they would.
Maybe in a few years, but Allen, Miller, Jones don't have a few years to waste.

Any team with Lebron will be in contention, especially being in the east and at least making the finals. They wouldn't be wasting years in some sort of rebuild.

And players can have multiple homes. Carmelo already has one in Los Angeles.

Chris Sheridan is convinced James is going to the Cavs.

That guy's an idiot. I suggest following Woj from Yahoo. He's been by far the most accurate and doesn't offer ridiculous views and opinions.

 

[Shanemansj13]

This is worse than the decision actually. LeBron handled that free agency perfect until the tv show. He handled this free agency as a disaster. Much bigger circus than last time. What a joke

Nothing is worse than that and it isn't even the 10th yet, no one can sign.

I do expect Miami fans to butthurt if he leaves, but I expect the same from Cleveland of he doesn't go. It is a lose-lose for Lebron.

I hate to say this, BUT if Broussard is right he has been the most reliable. If he isn't, he is the most unreliable. I still can't trust that fucker, he makes too many quick assumptions.

I disagree. He's keeping things low key and rightfully taking his time. It's the media that's making this a circus with the constant speculation.

Here's my question...what in the world is Miami's plan B if Bosh and Lebron goes? Personally, I'd save cap space until I could land another big name, but I'm guessing that Riles and co. wouldn't go that route coming off of 4 straight Finals

Many people are at this point. Seems to be the way the winds are pushing with all that is out there....Nike marketing campaign on Unfinished Business, Lebron supposedly calling two free agents including Miller to see if they would join him if he left Miami, his friends and agents pushing Cleveland, etc.

Broussard hasn't been the most accurate. He's merely throwing shit to the wall hoping it sticks, in this case it might. Broussard has been wrong before on multiple occasions. It's similar to if a under dog faces off against the champ and says they'll win. If the under dog loses, then it's whatever you were expected to lose. But if you win, people say you called it.

Darn good question.....probably a one year rebuild with a big payment made to Wade as a thank you for staying in year one.

Tank. There's no one else that will push Miami over the hump. Sign a crap ton of one-year deals and get Wade locked up for the next 4 years on a contract that benefits him and the franchise. The only way the Heat stay in contention is with Lebron. Miami will need to rebuild with youth then.

 

[raptorlife4]

Wouldnt it be funny if James didnt go to either the Heat or the Cavs?

I still stand by my comments from when the finals were going on.

LeBron to the Knicks

Wade, Granger, and McRoberts....the new Big 3!

I'm guessing Riles would go the 'saving cap space' route and see what they can do next summer.

Riley isn't tanking

I just meant in this situation. But he is not the guy to follow if you want something set in stone. I will say it will boost his reputation, unfortunately

Very true, but that includes the Heat.
You know who they are?
They would be the team whose played in 4 straight Finals.
Cavs, aren't they the laughing stock of the NBA?


A change for any player were mentioning means win now or bust. Period.


And are comparing the lifestyles of LA to Cleveland?

Ariza, but I can 't see them getting Gasol. Maybe pick up some other role player types

 

[AZ Sun]

I'll certainly go back to being a LeBron hater if he goes back to Cleveland. I put my dislike for him aside when I thought the Suns were gonna tank last season but his handling of this situation will give me no choice to be a Lebron hater.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Riley isn't tanking

You can't tank in the East

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You think he isn't going to keep that beachhouse, he will have some temporary in Cleveland. And you don't know, the main factor is Lebron and more Lebron. Nothing else matters

Beach house?
He's currently RENTING it for 50k/MONTH.


I'm not saying he wouldn't go, but you can bet your ass he's trying to convince James to stay here.
