LeBron to Cavs is done

[packer2012]

No doubt the NBA will be rooting for them to at least get to The Finals. Side Show City!

Cavs will not trade Wiggins at all.It will be 2 first round picks as the Cavs have 3 next years draft and Waiters and either Bennett or Thompson for Love as the Cavs hold all the cards in this.If Minny trades Love another team he isnt going to resign with that team and no team will do that so its all in Minnesota court now.

 

[packer2012]

But, like I said earlier, "King James" is already making excuses on how it takes time to develope a championship team, dah, dah, da-de-dah!

 

[StevieRay]

wow, from the queen talking in that article about home and what ohio means yadda yadda yadda, u think he would play for free

 

[packer2012]

Amen Stevie. He got all the money and now starts taking the pressure off himself with all the talk about "time" it takes to build a championship team.

The Heat are actually better off that Lebron left as their window was just about done. Every team in the league would take 4 straight appearances along with winning 2 titles. They got a ton of cash available & will be huge players in next year's free agent class which is looking like a star studded one. Regardless of the roster, South Beach is still a destination especially in terms of no state tax to worry about. Go through a rebuilding year & come back strong the following.

They are not better off at all without Lebron. This is a devastating loss for the organization.

They will be in the long run as they can rebuild flush with cash & still being a destination because of location & salary advantages.

I mean I guess. But Lebron is in his prime and rebuilding is never a guarantee. The Heat might be garbage for the next decade now. Probably will lose half a billion to a billion dollars over this decision by Lebron. I mean the Heat can't just give up but there is no doubt they are not better off with out lebron.

Actually, without as high of a payroll, they will make more money than when James, Wade and Bosh were there.

poor erik spoelstra. Now he's actually going to have to coach.

hahhaaaa - -yup !!!

They will not make even close to as much money.

True no guarantee but they have rebuilt successfully before & the owner is willing to spend so they will make out fine.

This made Lebron a good guy again......hope he wins 4 in Cleveland. Good for him and the city of Cleveland.

Waiters and Bennett are tossins at this point and those 1st rounders will be near the bottom. Minnesota can get a better offer IMO.

I wasn't against James leaving Cleveland I even rooted for him in Miami until he said he wouldn't play in the league if Donald Sterling retained ownership of the Clippers I thought that was way out of line. I'm starting to like him again with his 'no place like home' attitude.
Few would go to Cleveland with all the possibilities he had. It's kinda like giving up the prettiest girl in the class for another who few
desire except you!

No they can't as I believe at least 2 of those picks are protected with one being top 10 & the other 10-15 I believe.

 

[EveryGamblersDream]

Just looked it up & 2 of those are protected:

2015 first round draft pick from Memphis Memphis' 1st round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 1-5 and 15-30 in 2015, 1-5 and 15-30 in 2016, 1-5 in 2017 or 1-5 in 2018 or unprotected in 2019 [Cleveland-Memphis, 1/22/2013] 2015 first round draft pick from Miami Miami's 1st round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 1-10 in 2015 or 1-10 in 2016 or unprotected in 2017 [Cleveland-Miami, 7/9/2010]
