LBJ to Miami - what are your opinions?

I know Cavs owner is cursing and wishing bad karma on LBJ and his Miami team b/c of his decision last night. I know a lot of members here are from CA and are big Lakers fan and wanted to inform you guys that you all should scoot on over and make room for the Cleveland fans!

Joe Johnson has the last laugh of the 2010 free agent :smiley-rofl:

Since everybody knows I'm a huge laker fan, I've been catchin alot of talk about this. Everybody saying "Miami" and all that to me. It's not a guaranteed
win! It's a helluva start though. The NBA season is jus way too LONG!!!!!! w/ injuries and what not also those 3 don't make up the whole team. Boston had a full roster of great players and still couldn't take the lakers. The only cats that should be worried is all them teams in the East conference teams. Lakers won't have to worry about them until/if they get to the finals again. So I'm ok w/ it. I'll jus wait for all the highlight footage to come HA!

You can't hate on LJ though, he took a pay cut to go to a team where he's not the star. Shows how bad he really wants that ring! Probably to shut all that talk about not being great if you don't have that ring.
But you know, once he gets his ring, that dumb talk about he can't do it w/o wade will start. The media is so lame -_-

Should be intresting to see how or if these cats share the ball......

Remember, it's 5 on 5 not 3 on 5

**LMAO!!! @ all these bandwagon fans that jus so happen to be Miami fans now!! Forum image

My opinion pretty much shows my age in regards to basketball. I remember growing up and watching Bird and the Celtics just own Magic and the Lakers. I remember the Lakers just sticking it out and working "together" to finally beat the Celtics. Same thing with Jordan, I remember when the Pistons would just own the Bulls. Bulls team never really changed much after that, Jordan just became the man and led / carried the Bulls to 6 championships. Same thing with Duncan and the Spurs. I'll even put our beloved Kobe on this list. Someone who was scorned by media / fans but stuck thru it and came back to win his own 2.

I don't blame Lebron in this modern day NBA to go form a "Super Friends" in Miami. Thats good hes taking less money. I respect him for that. I just enjoyed the storied Franchises that with legends running their team and that legend carrying them because he wanted it so bad. That was what made basketball great for me. To watch these Legends do what they needed to do to win their ring for them, their team, and their city.

I still think that the Heat still have a long way to go, like Oscar said. It's 5on5, not 3on5.

Lets just say each of these 3 score 20pts each avg, someone else is gonna need to score the rest. 60 pts won't beat a solid Celtics / Magic / Lakers / Thunder / Nuggets team

DIE LEBRON DIE!!

I was pissed. Even the video game NBA 2k10 makes mention of the 2010 free agency class and how Lebron might come to NY when you play the Knicks vs. Cavs in NY. He lead us on for years, buying out all the hot dog stands for the fans in NY before he arrived to town, always wearing Yankee hats, etc. It's alright, Carmello is from NY and he didn't sign that extension with the Nuggets for a reason. Hes coming here.

LeBron is a great player. So is Wade and Bosh. They are not 1 dimensional. They can all play multiple positions, handle the rock, post up and shoot from anywhere on the court. They are all also willing to pass the ball which is why this will work.

The Cavs are not a playoff team without LeBron. 66 wins to 24 without him. The Heat are a playoff team with Just wade and a bunch of scrubs. These guys that they are adding are 25 and 26 years old. Its not like the Celtics where the big 3 were all out of their prime in their early 30s. These guys can all play 40 minutes a night if needed. I say they win the eastern conferance this year. I won't jump the bandwagon and say they win the title because they only have 4 players. I want to see what big name veteran signs for the minimum contract to have a chance for a ring

It may work for a season or two but then once wade or bron start getting all the love somebody gonna get jelly and the in team hating gonna start, it was ok with the 3 in Boston because they got together towards the end of their careers... but this is just my opinion

LBJ is a beast in 2k10 though haha.

i can guarantee you the heat wont win a championship, as long as kobe and pau are playing together. Most championship teams have those "role players" i.e robert horry , D. fish, Ron harper etc. who on the heat can be that guy? they just got rid of beasley, and offered mike miller a contract. now they have to pick up little scrubs and sign there rookies. This happened with the lakers in 04 when they had an all-star team, they made it to the finals but they didnt all like eachother cause of there egos. But well have to wait and see. LAKERS FOR THE 3PEAT

The Lakers were old though. Malone and Payton were too old then to make a difference in the series. Shaq/Kobe Bickering played a role too but both Shaq and Kobe need the ball every single play and they dont look to pass much. Lebron will feed those guys the ball and still put up numbers because he himself will get better looks and already shoots a high percentage.

Chalmers is a clutch role player. He can shoot 3s and defend. He won the NCAA championship off of a buzzer beater and has a couple game winners since hes been in the league. I see him stepping up big time. If they can sign Mike Miller that will be big since hes the ideal role player. He does a little of everything.

Lebron and DWade are 2 of the best defenders the game has so don't look at this as strictly from an offensive perspective.

I sound like a bandwagon heat fan but I am a fan of good basketball. If anything, I am still heartbroken that Lebron didnt come here

You kinda do!
But let that go! LJ would never play for NY.
The knicks will be bums for as long as spike lee is in existence HA!!!!
FACT!


All this talk about what is going to happen is fuckery! Wait tell the season starts to decide what's gonna happen! These 3 will make some great highlight reels no doubt but you still can never count out all the other teams which are sure to contend and whatever happens in the east and besides the west still has the stronger teams in the NBA

Oh and kill that melo talk, that boy aint going to the knicks either HAHahaha!

I got money on all this! Put your $$$$$ up! =)
We can even go for keys!

I've always wanted a mutated F50 LOL! I kidd

yeah during the regular season lebron can do whatever he wants but in the playoffs he isnt that great. they can probably challenge the bulls regular season record. +1 well wait till the season starts 4 months from now.

btw.. look for the lakers to make a big move, last i heard is that there trying to get hedo and derozan for sasha, and luke. just to get rid of hedos contract. may be a rumor but we'll see.

That will be big if they do. But like you guys mentioned, its all about the chemistry. Hedo may be better but doesnt mean hes a better fit. Hedo is going nuts in Toronto, always getting caught missing practice cause he was out at the club. Imagine in LA :smiley-rofl:

lol yall boys make me laugh. the heat is gonna beast this season...IF they can sign a few key role players. funny yall say its 5/5 not 3/5, but everyone makes a big deal about certain stars not being able to carry their teams, these three did it for their teams in the past. put it this way, cleveland without lebron = not even close to a contender, same with mia and wade. one player makes a BIG difference.

btw, vince carter and tmac are gonna play for the heat for free to try and get a ring.

Edit: I stand corrected, he signed for $110 mil as well as Bosh. Only D.Wade signed for $107 mil. He took less money since players returning to their teams with as many years experience as he has, are eligible for a 6 year $120mil deal.

Where is that Cam'ron "you mad" .gif when you need it?

For anyone who missed it, this is what the Cavs owner said after he found out James was going to Miami bitch!



"Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

I know! Most people think that it is already a given that Miami will take it in 2011. I think I will agree with this ONLY BECAUSE:

Imagine if the NBA wants to give this team, the superstars, the benefit of the doubt when it comes to foul calls. They'll go to the line like 100 times a night. :shrug:

FACT!


All this talk about what is going to happen is fuckery! Wait tell the season starts to decide what's gonna happen! These 3 will make some great highlight reels no doubt but you still can never count out all the other teams which are sure to contend and whatever happens in the east and besides the west still has the stronger teams in the NBA

Oh and kill that melo talk, that boy aint going to the knicks either HAHahaha!



You are going to eat your words (hopefully next year)
