Why do ppl say shyt like this :stopitslime:
Every year there was talks of Cleveland trading for somebody.
If Lebron stayed, HE is good enough to get them that title.
They would of gotten Bosh or Wade the same year Lebron left and this Miami Heatles would be the Cleveland... heatles :guilty:

D.Wade hasn't been much more than Richard Jefferson 3ys ago status ever since Bron arrived. He could of found a similar sidekick, and had a better bench around him because they wouldn't of wasted all that money on a 3rd player.
We can also all agree that Bosh while a decent player, is not really a factor on why the Heat are where they are today
Because of that, Cleveland imo could of easily won it with Lebron by now...

:what: man shut the fukk up

LeBron James wants to stay in Cleveland and he wants Chris Bosh to join him. That, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard, who made the assertion this morning on ESPNRadio's Mike and Mike in the Morning program. According to Broussard, part of the reason there has been a delay in LeBron's announcement is he is trying to convince Bosh to come to Cleveland with him. That could only happen, of course, if the Toronto Raptors worked out a sign-and-trade for Bosh with the Cavaliers.

Bosh had reportedly stated that, while he did want to play with James, it had to be in Chicago or Miami. Bosh wants to grow is brand, and feels that can only happen in a bigger market. Perhaps, but Bosh should look no further than LeBron himself to see that big cities are no longer necessary when it comes to global icon status.


"It can happen, it's just a matter of convincing Chris Bosh to agree to it," Broussard said on the show, referring to the Cavaliers ability to strike a deal with the Raptors.

Lebron never wanted to leave like I said

1st of all :pacspit: that no lipped caucasoid Dan Gilbert..

2nd of all I don’t understand this back to Cleveland shyt the media keeps stirring up. You can’t change what’s already been done. Him going back there solves nothing. You still can’t get players to go to Cleveland and Kyrie Irving is on some Mr. Glass, Unbreakable shyt and is always hurt so :lolbron: won't be winning any titles there.

Why would he go back there to play for that CAC?

:what:

Why would lebron go back to Cleveland all they have is Irving and a bunch of young players that have role player ceilings. Bron is trying to win championships and build his legacy. Plus lebron handles the ball 90% of the time and Irving will have to be a spot up shooter which takes away his skill sets.

  • Irving can be a superstar
  • I doubt Lebron wants to handle the ball all his life. Takes a toll on you.

Remember D-Wade was drafted to be a PG and used to handle the ball all the time and then by year #5 he harassed Riley about getting a PG because he wanted to play off the ball more and save his energy.

:what: Did you just try to compare Dwades game to Irvings there nothing alike. Dwade's game is attacking the basketball with force. Irving is crossovers and jumpshots/layups. What makes the heat good is Bron and Wade attacking and chalmers/allen/battier making defenses pay for collapsing on their drives. Bosh is a skilled big man who has good mid range shooter they can count on. All im saying is lebron isn't gonna go to Cleveland just because of Irving. They still need shooters and a skilled C/PF who can hit open shots and athletes who can run and finish with him on the break. Plus Irving is fragile as hell

I coulda swore lebron tried to get bosh to cleveland but bosh refused.

He did. In fact, LeBron privately sought out SEVERAL players to come to Cleveland, but none of them wanted to....but you NEVER heard Gilbert nor any of those Cleveland fans mention that part of it. Likely because they don't want to face the reality about their city, which is that it is not an attractive market for FAs (bet the weather has alot to do with it).

That's not a diss, that's just the reality.

For the past two or three years, I hated Lebron (just because he didn't come to the Knicks). My hate is waning but it'll probably peak again during the playoffs. With that said, i'm somewhat enjoying his talent. The guy is a freak of nature, nothing like him in the NBA. I think people would like him a bit more if he wasn't such a lame. He don't come off as cool AT ALL and when he does, it seems like he's trying. Kinda like Kobe, but Kobe had that instinct so it wasn't as bad.

Heres the thing...

And I say this because I am one of the people I'm talking about.

If you hated on Lebron going into this season, and hate on him today, you lost hard. There is NO POINT in continuing to throw shade on this guy, he's a freakin monster and is having a Jordan 93/Shaq 99 type of season. If you are hating on it, you lost so just submit. You may think someone is better, thats fine, its opinion, but the type of anti-lebron movement that was big before...if you're still in that movement you've taken monsterous Ls this year.

Dan Gilbert is simply one of those people who gave up the fight.

Pretty much. I tried to hate on him in the past, due to being somewhat a Cavs...follower. But the way he plays the game, I wouldn't be a fan of basketball if I continued that way. There is not a player more entertaining to watch play. Simple as that.
