You don't seem to grasp the point that Bron's "Decision" and Gilbert's "Letter" were dumb things to do. There's been numerous reports that both sides have apologized and moved on.


This. By most accounts it's very much water under the bridge. But you guys are retards and "plebs" to believe there is even the slightest possibility that Bron might return to a very ideal situation and to a place he grew up wanting to bring a championship to.

Well aware, just saying money can definitely talk.

And not mention Lebron does care about his image. He is a genuinely good guy and I do find that he wants to be one of the beloved stars.

You are a fricking idiot. What part of the the big 3's "personal decision(s)" was selfish? Wanting to win championships or taking less money to do it? Riley put the plan in motion 2 years before "the decision" by shedding contracts and arranging private meetings between himself, LeBron and Michael Jordan that at the time could have been construed as tampering.

I think it's time for LeBum to move on if his boss is essentially calling him out for being a baby back bitch.

Off to Cleveland

I get a kick out of the posters who are apparently in Lebron's inner circle and know exactly what he's thinking.

J Cocks is the same delusionist who incessantly ranted about Lebron's choice to leave, saying he'd never be a fan of Lebron again.


My oh my how things change

LeBron would have made more money staying in Cleveland. What exactly was selfish about his decision?

I know it's probably weird for you, but some of us are fans of the team or franchise first, not just a fan of one player. So for those like us, when our best player leaves, especially in the way he left..... You might have to forgive us for being angry. But in sports, most sins are forgivable. Especially one that was basically just based on an emotional response of knowing your favorite team just instantly became irrelevant.

So with all of that being said, can you really blame any Cavs fans for being hopeful that their team might become a contender once again?

I fail to see any problem with any emotion felt from the decision and it's immediate aftermath. Most have moved on.

This guy says bull-shite

Unless you factor in the sixth year which he would have probably avoided anyway, assuming he opts out in Miami.

I don't see how Cleveland is the "ideal" situation for Lebron to go to, and was hoping you could tell me.
