[People's Champ]

My money is on the Heat..as much as I don't think its a good decision

Can't wait for the akward moments. Still betting on Clevland

 

[Big Sexy]

I won't be here for this but my guess is Cleveland

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm not believing any report until his name is on the contract.

 

[People's Champ]

If he's going to leave it should be to Chicago

 

[goodlay]

Lebron is the epitome of a douchebag. Having your own special dedicated to announcing you're leaving the team/city that gave you everything. Seriously? What a tool.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah that's true. I do like the charity thing though. Helps some.

This is why I think he stays in Cleveland. He knows he'll look like an unbelievable douche if he leaves.

Every situation has its flaws. Miami couldn't afford much outside of the big three and LeBron would always play second fiddle to D Wade. New York just doesn't have much talent outside Amare and Galinari. Chicago has absolutely no shooters. And Cleveland needs another piece alongside LeBron to really compete for a title.

I hope so. That'd be really fucked up if he left. Who knows with these guys, they aren't exactly merit scholars. Amare Stoudamire is a prime example: taking 100 million dollars to play for a horrible team in the Knicks.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'd hate to live in Cleveland if he leaves. If he goes, the whole city more or less goes with him.

As does the chance for a winning season in Cleveland.

No he wouldn't...LeBron will never be a second fiddle to anyone.

LeBron is the better player and the bigger star but Miami is Wade's city and the Heat are Wade's team. D Wade has won them a title already and is loved by the city.

I agree. But with pieces like Boozer, Noah, Rose I think it works the best. And he can be the main guy.

And if Lebron comes there Miami becomes the center of the NBA. It would be Lebron. As good as Wade is, Lebron is bigger.

Yes I agree LeBron is bigger. But the city of Miami is always going to prefer Wade and view him in higher regard because he spent his whole career there and has always been loyal to them.

 

[Dave]

I don't watch a lot of basketball anymore but I hope he stays at the Cavs. Sicne they are my favourite team as a casual fan, that would be good.

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it. If Lebron brings them 2-3 more, it'll be his town.

If LBJ goes to Miami, wins another MVP and a Championship, it will be LBJ's town, not Wade's. LBJ is the best player in the league, bar none. He's also the most marketable player in the league, bar none.

LBJ won't be playing second fiddle.

 

[Big Sexy]

No, because Wade would be bringing the same titles along with LeBron. LeBron will never pass Wade in Heats fans eyes.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

My money is on Chicago, but I do want to see him remain with Cleveland.

 

[People's Champ]

I agree with Big. Wade owns Miami. No matter what LeBron does, Wade will continue to own Miami. LeBron will be looked at like he needed to go to Miami and needed Wade to finally win a title.

I agree 100% with everything other then the fact that James will surpass Wade in terms of popularity in Miami. He will always be placed higher up because he spent his whole career there, he won them a title already, and he is one reason LBJ and Bosh would be in Miami. Riley cleared the cap space but without Wade already there and convincing others to join him then this situation wouldn't happen.
