Spoelstra is indeed terrible.

Has the most rings in the league outside of Popovich.

I think the same thing everytime I see you post.

This is very true. It in a way can be compared to pro rasslin'. Some of these start up rasslin groups wanna do away with the hero vs villain roles and make them about competition and they disappear quickly. People don't watch. People want heroes. People want villains. People will tune in as much to see a player or team they hate lose as they will to see their favorites win.

Could you imagine if LeBron said to______ (insert interviewer)

"my shoes cost more than your house"

Spoelstra is indeed terrible.

He is not great, but he isn't terrible.

I was referring to Scott Brooks.

So Woj is reporting that it is indeed between Miami and Cleveland.

Imagine this scenario:

LeBron has already indicated that he only wants to sign a short deal (2 years probably). How bad will it be if he signs in Cleveland, then bolts again when he remembers all the reasons he left in the first place?

I think this would be a real possibility, and the worst possible outcome for both LeBron and Cavs fans. This team is not ready. Give Gilbert 2 years to prove that he can build a competitive roster with all the lottery luck he has had. Miami is the only rational choice right now, unless Cleveland has some big moves up their sleeve.

i agree if he does resign with the Heat he is setting himself up to get blasted by Cav fans

No, ESPN is setting him up. He has done nothing.

Only uneducated 'fans'.
I'll bet none of those 'fans' can produce 1 actual quote from James or anyone directly associated to his thought process.

If anyone is believing this 90% crap, may I ask why?

At least until he actually meets, in person, other teams representatives, he's not going to that team.

If he already has met with those other teams, if he been a very well kept secret.

That's the most likely scenario. Cleveland has an unproven coach, and they're boasting Wiggins, even though he hasn't even played a summer league game yet (that I'm aware of). Everyone says Cleveland has a great roster in place, but that roster hasn't even sniffed the playoffs or a .500 record.

On a separate note, any other franchise who have had Cleveland's luck in the lottery would be far better than what Cleveland is.

LBJ's "forgiverness" shirt for $25

LAKEWOOD, OH (WOIO) -
GV Art and Design in Lakewood is planning some new T-shirts, in case LeBron James decides to come back to Cleveland.

"We wanted to have something ready in the works," said Greg Vlosich, owner of GV Art.

Cleveland was crushed four years ago when LeBron decided to take his talents to Miami.

"We were as hurt as anyone. We hated the guy because of the way he did it, not that he left but because the way he did it," said Vlosich.

GV Art already has a "Forgiveness" shirt ready, playing off LeBron's "Witness" shirts.

Vlosich's dad, George, came up with the idea a few months ago.

"We had some ideas back and forth and he thought about that one and kind of played to us, and it's something we've had in the works for the past month or two, and we were kind of waiting for the right time to do it," Vlosich said.

Just minutes after it went online Wednesday afternoon, even before the decision, people started buying it.

Forgiven, and for many, easily forgotten. Cleveland fans are hoping the decision in the past will be replaced with LeBron's decision to return home.

GV Art ordered the shirts on Monday, and people have begun to buy them online. They won't be sold in stores till LeBron makes his formal decision.

You can buy the shirt for $25 on their merchandise website.

Very accurate. Unfortunately, you're one of the few who actually see's the logic.

Is Lebron being Inconsiderate?

I know a lot of people are frustrated and saying that LeBron's indecisiveness is unfair to the other players in the league, but.....

that is complete BS.

These are all grown men and this is a business. LeBron has every right to take his time and the teams and other players involved have every right to move on before he makes up his mind. They won't because they want to see what he does before making their decisions, but it is totally unfair to say that LeBron is holding everyone up. Nothing is happening because the other players/teams are choosing not to act right now. Chris Bosh could make a decision today as could Carmello Anthony and the other big players in free agency. Just because they are choosing to wait also, does not mean that this is all LeBron's fault.

Don't put this burden on one person. When he is ready, he will make his destination public. Until then, everyone else needs to make the best decision for themselves and their teams and get off LeBron's back.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Of course he's being inconsiderate, but what else is new?

Is he really though?

You honestly believe it is unreasonable to take a couple weeks to make a decision that will literally affect millions of people?

They do it in the NHL all the time. Only in the NBA do you see this kind of drama drag out.
