Hopefully when they get to LeBron he goes through each of the teams and discusses who is on their roster.

LeBron says Cavs fans will have mixed emotions. I think the feeling amongst Cavs is going to be pretty universal (and negative).

Well, we can take solace in the fact that if Dwyane Wade goes down early again, this is only a 65-win team.

They need to bring Shaq in now so he can guarantee another title!

Wade and LeBron played so well together at the All-Star game, so this wasn't too surprising. With the exception of the Lakers and Magic, every other team are the underdogs against the Heat.

The guy with the Cavaliers jersey in the Miami reaction shot was the best part so far.

No shit :lol: All the sports journalists are apologizing to Cleveland. I hate to be callous here but:

Fuck Cleveland. (no offense to cleveland natives reading this)

They didn't give him a coach, they didnt give him a single player he could trust. They had 7 years. They fucked it up and he's gone. Your team being mismanaged built this shit, you're going to have to deal. Lebron lied..yes..but theres only so long you can fight a battle that feels futile and he apparently reached a breaking point and felt he needed to leave.

I just..dont see how 8 roleplayers with minimum salary isnt going to be about the same as washed up all stars in cleveland. This team is either about to win 5 rings, or about to get rocked by teams built to be balanced. I haven't figured out which yet.

Iceman: yes its official.

in-frekkin-saaane :shock:

if i were one of the 90's oldcats who didn't get a ring because of MJ (Mailman, Stockton, Reggie etc) i'd un-retire and try out for that mob squad

Pip should do it just to surpass Mike; he's still in fair form and played some international ball a little while back i think

The Miami bandwagon started when Shaq went there, guess it's going to gain steam now.

Agreed. LeBron just said they've agreed to less money to play together and bring other players in, but it remains to be seen just how well-rounded the roster is going to be. They're an imposing trio, but anyone with depth could prove to be a stumbling block.

So who's Cleveland's go to guy now? Mo Williams? Shaq's out of contract and I think only one after that that's left is Antwan.

haha Bunch of friends on Facebook excited to buy black LeBron jerseys. I reckon Miami's gonna be a powerhouse, though I wouldn't be surprised to see D-Wade start to suck in a couple years due to his athleticism-oriented game, and Bosh's knee gimp him up.
