LeBron to Opt Out

[bloodbrother]

They'll go back to worshiping him obviously

Speculation that Cleveland is going to trade for Love.

 

Imagine Irving, Lebron and Love on the same court.  That would be some beautiful basketball.

[bloodbrother]

That SI piece was a good read. Now that he's won a few rings, he wants to return home and bring a title to his hometown. That would be pretty good for his legacy to...bringing a winner to Cleveland

 

Gotta think they'll definitely try hard to trade for Love

[Kenny]

I really want to hear what these people have to say today.

[Lou]

cleveland, wow. good for them that this worked out. kyrie irving should be thrilled.

 

will be interesting to see how the fans react.

They were making pilgrimages to his house yesterday

[bloodbrother]

Would have been funny if a moving truck showed up at the house with all those fans there

[m0nkey]

It'll probably be Wiggins, Waiters and/or picks for love.

 

Can't see them getting love and keeping wiggins

[Lou]

Can't see them getting love and keeping wiggins

That's what he said

[nate]

Yeah Wiggins will be included in any deal.

 

Someone pointed out that LeBron didn't mention Wiggins in his essay speculating that he would be traded.

[nate]

Love how everyone is blasting Broussard.

[Lou]

He's blasting him for reporting that James is going back to Cleveland?

[nate]

Broussard had "sources" for days that LeBron was returning to Miami.  Then once SI posted that he is going back to Cleveland he says "Sources" confirm he is going back to Cleveland.  Broussard is a total tool.

[nate]

This is kinda cool, how all the local news stations reacted to the news.

Meh. They all did that.

[nate]

Broussard was by far the worst.

 

David Thorpe is another idiot.

[Lou]

Sounds like everyone thought he was going back to Miami

[Lou]

But don't get me wrong, I hate Broussard

[Everling]

Wade opted out of two years and $40 million to keep Miami together.  Now, who will pay that broken down guy anything near that amount?  Oops!

 

Too bad Dan Gilbert comes out of this smelling like a rose.  He certainly does not deserver the good fortune of winning the lottery every year and then getting LBJ back after slamming him childishly.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Every time I think of how much Smith, Broussard and some of these other guys depend on Lebron for their lively hood I think of the Family Guy Alec Baldwin joke:

 

 

As far as Gilbert goes I'm sure he had to swallow his pride and apologize and even in an article I read Lebron said he wasn't perfect when he left either admitting they both screwed up.  The whole decision dog and pony show was on par with Gilbert's letter.

[nate]

Yeah, I can't stand Gilbert.

[Lou]

Lin to Lakers?

[Stradling]

Lin to Lakers?

What? Is this something being discussed in the media?

[bloodbrother]

Yes it is

[Bruce Nye]

The Miami Cold will be interesting next year.  Wonder if Riley stays. 

[Stradling]

Jeremy Lin for what a second round pick? Hell I would hold that team hostage and tell them that if they want to unload that contract so they can sign Bosh then I would make them send Lin and a first round pick for a second round pick.
