Pat Riley: " No More Smiling Faces With Hidden Agendas."

[FTBS]

I could actually reason with this if I was open to reason.

Why does that bridge matter to you? You care that much about Bron's image that whatever bridge he's working on needs to remain intact?



You don't give a damn about that bridge other than creating one to say Bron is wrong somehow.

Screw this bullshyt, man. This is rubbish you're posting.

You're right I don't care. That doesn't mean I can't offer an opinion on it. Lebrons already made it abundantly clear he doesn't care who he pisses off.

It's a crap opinion. "That would piss off Reily!!"

Why focus on that? Why?

I'll be the first to tell you that. No shame on hiding what I think and how I feel about anything involving LeBron James. I don't like the dude.

So that means find stupid and irrational reasons to display it?

Like create Coli rules of business?

There are many ways to say one doesn't like a person. Dudes in here are inventing shyt rules of business and kissing owner ass to show it and want to argue that its valid.

Which pretty much supports everything I have said and begs the question why you felt the need to even start with that weak, see-through, rationalization?

Rules? Who cares about some rules? It's a shrewd business. It's always been. Especially when the owners have the upper hand.

But don't feed me this trash about coming home becuz your 4 years in Miami was the equivalent of college and you felt like it was time to move on. Nah... when shyt got real, you bounced, becuz that's what you do.

It's only weak to you becuz you're Tyne jackals tryna find rationalization in my comments. You've known me long enough to know that when it comes to this guy, there is no even keel with me. I don't like the dude simply becuz I choose not to.

It ain't a rap metaphor that needs to be broken down. It's right there in your face.

Any excuse to jump on board the stupid train so as long as it points in the direction of disliking an athlete you'll never meet.

I will never understand this thought process and thankfully never will.

It's only weak because it's untrue and unnecessary. You just don't like the nikka and you are not open to reason when it comes to him and you have been pretty upfront about this which makes any attempt to try to act like you give a fukk about "balance" or anything other than just straight up shytting on him for the sake of doing so weak.

 

[Propaganda]

it's funny how hoe-ish these guys get in regards to bron...especially considering they're always trying to accuse HIM of acting like a female.

Riley still cakin

 

[IllmaticDelta]

I think thats what the whole comment is about. LeBron/his agent were communicating such things to Riley on personnel that the decision to leave did completely come out of nowhere.

Only a fool would think that LBJ leaving came out of nowhere. He was hinting at leaving way back in 2012!

Exclusive: LeBron James’ sly campaign to return to Cleveland followed a message to Dan Gilbert

LeBron James came to Cleveland with an unmistakable mission this week, the beginning of a campaign to soften the fans and ownership on his desire to return to the Cavaliers in 2014. Free agency is forever on his mind, and James is determined to make his hometown want him as much as he wants it again.

This was no accident, no misspeaking, nothing out of context. Before mentioning Thursday his openness to playing in Cleveland again, James months ago had an emissary or two carry that message to the Cavaliers’ front office, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. His camp wanted the message delivered to owner Dan Gilbert, sources said, but so far, the response has been silence.

The Heat play the Cavaliers on Friday night in Cleveland, and yes, LeBron has manufactured the drama of his return again. James can’t opt out of his contract until after the 2013-2014 season, but he understands that the Cavaliers would have to make a decision to hold back on their rebuild, preserve cap space, and wait on him all over again. He has to convince Gilbert to make the leap of faith, and that includes first working over the fans.

Of his return, James said: “I think it would be great. It would be fun to play in front of these fans again. I had a lot fun times in my seven years here. … I’m here as a Miami Heat player, and I’m happy where I am now, but I don’t rule that out in no sense.

“And if I decide to come back, hopefully the fans will accept me.”

And then, Friday morning, James tried to play the other side: “The fans of Miami shouldn’t be worried about anything at this point.”

At this point. Make no mistake: James will need to make this easy for Gilbert, make it a public mandate. It promises to be a delicate dance for Gilbert. After all that, how do you welcome him back. And, well, how do you tell that talent, that kind of winning and profit, no?

“He has started to lay the groundwork, and he’s waiting to see what Dan Gilbert’s reaction to it is,” one league source with direct knowledge told Yahoo! Sports.

Here we go again, yes. Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio reported a month ago that James had expressed unhappiness in Miami, and that a return was on his mind. Different dynamics are working here too. James loves to be in perpetual recruitment, always wanting to be wanted. LeBron is the MVP of the NBA this season, and yet, he isn’t the story. And he likes to be the story. In the middle of Linsanity, James made a bid for some bold headlines – and that worked. It always works for him.

James’ doubts on his choice of Miami started as soon as his cable television show ended July 8, 2010, sources said, and it wasn’t until Gilbert released that hellacious public statement that James knew fully that he would leave Cleveland behind. Cleveland’s reaction still haunts him, and he never wanted to be hated there.

Those who know Heat president Pat Riley believe he has to be livid with the past 24 hours, because loyalty is everything to him. The Heat stood with James through the public evisceration of a season, the NBA Finals collapse, and, with three more trips to the playoffs under this contract still awaiting him, it is beyond belief James is publicly discussing his next stop in free agency.

James’ camp hasn’t heard a word out of Gilbert, nor will they. Under NBA tampering rules, Gilbert isn’t allowed to engage them on the matter. Gilbert hired a private law firm and spent several hundred thousand dollars to investigate what he believed to be tampering by Riley and the Heat when James was a Cavalier. He never made any of those findings – if there were any – public, or turned them over to the league office.

Gilbert hasn’t bothered to weigh the pros and cons of such a historic reconciliation, sources said, largely because it’s well over two years away. Things change. How James feels tomorrow could be entirely different than how he feels today. Within the Heat, they have to wonder about his investment with them, his commitment. As one league executive briefed on this matter said, “At least with Cleveland, this didn’t start until the last year, or year and a half. He has a long way to go there. “

Whatever his desire to win championships, LeBron James lives for the recruitment, lives to be wanted elsewhere. That never changes, and it promises to start the hysteria to 2014 free agency all over again. LeBron James comes home on Friday, and yes, he may yet come home again for good.

ESPN First Take | LeBron James hinting at leaving the Miami Heat?



Why do you think LBJ put this out here?

"Happy Bday to my running mate, homie, brother, and most of all straight up friend! The friendship we've created our rookie year at pre draft camp was pure and that's why we stuck together from that point on! Obviously didn't know we would eventually become teammates and do the things we've done so far. I came to Miami for 2 reasons. To play with U and to win championships and I can't thank u enough for the sacrifice you've made since I arrived homie! No matter what happens in the future we stuck together like brothers for life. And no matter what they say, u still a BAD Mutha-Shut-Yo-Mouth out there on that court!"

It seems that you didn't understand the context when I mentioned balance. I wasn't talking about fairness. I was talking about you being the quintessential dikkrider and me hating him.

I will never understand this thought process and thankfully never will.

If you think I give a shyt about how you feel about my opinion, feelings, or thoughts then you're the stupid one.
