My theory is that Dan Gilbert isn't the long term owner of the Cavs and will sell to Lebron at the end of his career. Thus Cleveland doing what Lebron wants.

I think Bron and Gilbert got some shyt up there sleeve no doubt.

What are Bron's pockets looking like? :leostare:

What if he working with Wade and CP3 to get an ownership group going:patrice: maybe Melo too since he'll have ownership experience from his soccer team
:patrice:

It's just my opinion.

I dont believe LeBron will play out his career here. Just how he's forcing the Cavs to try and win a ring ASAP, basically forcing them to overpay Tristan Thmpson:scusthov:, trading away a #1 pick with franchise potential to acquire a player who's already maxed out (as far as peak)...he's trying to win a ring quick as hell and not build at all. Why? I believe because he's gonna eventually leave when he wins.

:yeshrug:

I'll admit when Im wrong down the line...but we have to wait and see. If LeBron brings a Championship to Cleveland, he's gone imo.

Lebron is 12 years into his career. Why would he choose a 19 year old player (even if he is a phenom) over an established star player? The public at large have already made the decision that nothing Lebron does matters beside winning championships.

Why would he not place himself in best position to win championships? MJ threatened to retire on the spot in 97 over a Pippen for McGrady deal, and Scottie was on the decline. The intelligent thing for any star in his 30s to do is to surround himself with younger players. He had a decidedly older team in Miami that would have had to do a lot more work to revamp the team around him to stay in contention for the duration of his prime.

Brolic... Alcoholics
I rep CLEVELAND...the city. OHIO...the state.


You rep LeBron James and he reps the Cavaliers. What's so hard to understand about that?:dahell:


"Im from NY and never was a fan of the Knicks":ufdup:


I put on for my city harder than anyone else from Cleveland does on here....easily:camby:



Yall talking sports. Yall love the Cavs. I love Cleveland...big difference. Repping a team means nothing, repping your city means 1000% more to me:birdman:


Im Cleveland thru and thru.
Except Cock Brefs dont love the Cavs. He just loves LeBron.

I imagine Lebron having very little issue raising capital to make that happen. He's richer than MJ was when he purchased Charlotte (although that time was deep in debt)

im sitting here laughing at you dog.

The only reason I knew you were from Cleveland is that you would inject your opinion in Cavaliers related threads and mention it.

Like I said, everyone that knows Newzz on here knows where Im from....and I dont have to post about the Cavs/Browns/Indians/Buckeyes all day for them to know that.


nikkas have known since 2001.

I'm just telling you that's the only reason i know you're from Cleveland.

I wouldn't know it otherwise unless it was related to Cleveland sports teams in someway and you saying something about them.

@Illeye buckmatic

Breh, that's not what I said.:dahell:


I said nobody reps CLEVELAND, the actual city of Cleveland, harder than me on here...period. Yall can rep the team franchises, cool. But nikkas know Im literally from Cleveland and I dont have to rep the teams for people to know that, and the reason is because I've always put on for the city. Im not from Painesville, Cinci, Youngstown, Toledo, Dayton, Columbus, Akron, Mansfield, Springfield, etc. Im from Cleveland.

105 & Empire from birth until 8th grade. Moved to Euclid and then Bedford for 9-12. Moved back to Cleveland after graduating HS and just moved back out to Bedford 2 years ago.

The other brehs have nothing to do with our discussion....so why you tagging them in?:dwillhuh:

:beli:

If it will make you feel better, I will add in Cleveland to your Cavaliers repping thing. It's not that big of a deal. Should I have also added in you rep the Browns as well?:dwillhuh:

It doesnt make what I said any less factual. Nobody reps the CITY of Cleveland harder than I do on here, period.

I know you're still in your feelings after I made you look like a fool previously with your so called basketball expertise. :lolbron:

However, I just posted the news article because it was an interesting storyline & never mentioned anywhere in this thread that LeBron shouldn't or was not going to sign with Cleveland based on Tristan Thompson's contract negotiations. I only stated that Thompson wasn't worth the max & up to this point the Cavs probably seem to somewhat agree.
