This is getting very interesting. Definitely not at 85 pct for Cavs anymore :)


85%?

Such a random number.

Lebron may have not said a thing but his people have let this get out of control. All it would have taken would have been a text to Broussard to slow it down or that Cleveland was a longshot possibility, or that the Heat were still the favorite.

Oh I don't know, it's only one of the most important decisions of his life, that's all.

And it's not like there aren't a lot of details that need to be worked out either way, nothing like that at all.

Oh I don't know, taking some time to weigh the relevant details before making this small, tiny decision.

Regardless of your thoughts on LeBron or the current situation, can we all agree that Chris Broussard is just making crap up?

Messing with people? Yes. Making crap up? I don't think so.

I haven't been this glued to internet rumors/speculation since the Malaysian plane story. I kinda hope this one goes the same way, LeBron just lets the speculation go on forever and we never get a resolution.

What the hell does that mean? And why the smiley face? Is he rooting one way or the other?

Cavs feel they've sold LeBron agent Rich Paul "100 percent," says source. But LeBron? More soon @FOXSportsOH & @FOXSports. Will tweet link.

He's "85% sure" on something. He's talking out of his arse and its painfully obvious.

I hear you, but it's getting past the point of being reasonable. He's had several weeks to decide. He's clogging up the rest of the league and he could care less. It's getting out of hand.

This. If I were him I would want everything in the open after the shite he pulled last time. He could have redeemed himself by handling this in a straightforward manner. Like the moving of cars. I realize he does it every summer, but you do it the day before you can sign contracts? No one can tell me he or his team didn't do that to get everyone going crazy.

If he hasn't decided yet, how exactly could he have put this fire out days ago?


"This is a difficult decision for me, but I know my decision is affecting fellow players and other teams. I plan to announce my decision at a short press conference on Friday afternoon in Miami before I leave for Brazil. My schedule is tight, but I will have about 10 minutes for general Q&A. Leaving from Miami shouldn't give an indication of my decision one way or the other, this trip has been planned for months. "

As opposed to rumors and guesses that the announcement will come from his personal website (not a forum for Q&A with reporters) before he leaves for Brazil. He's created an information vacuum and he knows it.

Didn't he just meet with Miami again yesterday?

You're acting like there aren't moving parts and lots to be hashed out here. A lot has changed since his 1st round of meetings.

this is probably the only time this use of the phrase is appropriate. every minute that passes shows how much less he actually could care
