The Summer of Lebron

[ziggy]

After that sorry effort against the Celtics last night in game 5, I think the Cavs are just a 1 game away from the end of the Lebron James era.

My money is on Lebron winding up in a Knicks uniform, Wade winding up with the Bulls playing next to Derrick Rose and I have absolutely no idea on Chris Bosh.

Let's use this thread to discuss all of the big name free agency movement that is coming soon.

I was really disappointed in the way he played last night, he seemed to not care much at all. Maybe he does want out of Cleavland. I'm leaning towards him staying in Cleavland but if he doesn't I agree, New York will be where he ends up.

As for Wade, I expect him back in Miami, just a feeling.

Bosh is gonzo.

I think LeBron will stay, there's no way he can go out like this, and if he does, Ohio will hate him more than MJ.

Wade I'm almost certain stays, and I think either Boozer, Amar'e, or Bosh joins him.

Bosh I can see anywhere south of Washington, D.C. But I'd guess Dallas or Houston.

[bing!]

LeBron's gonna stay another year with the Cavs and then he's off to Brooklyn.

Warriors fans have been talking all day about how the Cavs fucked up by failing to trade for Jack. They desperately needed a legitimate 2nd option for LeBron and it's killing them right now.

I think Bron goes to New Jersey.If they get D-Rose2-John Wall and trade Devin Harris for Josh Smith how can he go wrong.They'll obviously need a good coach of which i'm sure they'll get.
The Cavs needed to get another superstar to play with Bron i mean he's been a one man show for the last 6-7 seasons.Ferry has only gotten good-quality role players and a 50 year old Shaq,not good enough when facing the big 4 in Boston and the Kobe-Gasol duo in LA.They're still not good enough to beat Orlando either.
Man i've seen all 5 games of this series and Jamison is getting abused in the low post by KG and Big Baby when he's on.I don't know what his-Jamison's averages are but he's been below average on both ends,especially on D, shit he's terrible.No wonder why the Wizards could never beat the Cavs in a playoff series, they don't know how to defend.Another reason why the best trades are made in the off season.
If the Cavs lose game 6 and i'm 90% positive Boston sends Bron&co fishing,that's the last time we see LeBron in a Cavs jersey.

I think its amazing that Cleavland won 61 games with the starting 5 that they had, shows how much Lebron does for that team. Honestly looking at the four teams left in the playoffs they're starting lineups trump Cleavland's any day, even with Lebron. Lebron needs legit talent around him, not the likes of Anthony Parker, Jamison, Shaq, and Varejao.

My guess though is Lebron comes back, but they need to clean that roster out keeping only James, Mo Williams, and Hickson.

Looking at what Flash has accomplished with basically a bunch of scrubs (5th seed with Flash; probably fighting NJ for the worst record without him)...would CLE have faired better if they'd had him vs. LBJ?

I think LBJ is better, but maybe Flash just wants it more?

Guys...it would not surprise me if LBJ goes with the Nets...really would not surprise me at all...

I think the Nets would actually benefit from getting the second pick.

Devin Harris/Evan Turner/LeBron James/Yi Jinlian/Brook Lopez


is better than
