re: So LeBron James did learn something from Decision 1.0

If the decision is so easy, then why don't you tell us exactly what you think he should do? Who will be his teammates in this year? Who will be his teammates next year, and the years that follow? Who will be the coaches, and what sort of stability will they have? What are the team's plans over the length of his contract?

You don't even know what his motivations are. You don't know what his wife thinks or how much value he places on her desires. It is not LeBron James' problem that teams are holding out hope for him to sign with them. Do you think every contract offer he has received has been identical?

He should take as long as he needs to be comfortable with his decision. It's not like LeBron James owes anything to the NBA, any of its teams, the player's union or any other player. None of them are making their decisions based on what is the best interest of Lebron James. Only Lebron James is going to make decisions on that basis. And he has no obligation to act in the best interest of anyone else.

Why aren't you worried about Carmelo Anthony's decision? Won't his decision impact the decisions of all the teams and other free agents? He has had just as much time to prepare for the decision as James.
