re: Todays biggest winner?

winers:

1) far and away #1 is the city of cleveland and that turd that owns the team. no amount of idiocy will go unrewarded if your name is dan gilbert
2) probably lebron - rehabs his image with his home town and with any of the casual nba fans who don't loathe him too much to change

chris bosh will land softly if he takes the obvious deal in houston - they still have to clear the room but that should happen somehow

wade did lose some money in this whole deal - the two rings were probably worth it to his legacy tho - he's now tied with larry bird for titles
pat riley made the wrong sales pitch with the "going get tough" line in his press conference but he doesn't lose too much when he did build the team and added two more rings to his fingers.

carmello will be interesting unless i've missed an obvious development. it seems like he has to choose between more money in NY and winning more in chicago
