GO HORNETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

CP3 no knee

Only way Miami is going to have a chance to win a chip is if they snag Princess Lebron.

Kobe + Gasol > Wade + Bosh ... at least for a couple of years until Kobe is physically unable

lebron is going to Chicago. Thats the best place for him, he grew up a bulls fan, cmon!

lebron is going to Chicago. Thats the best place for him, he grew up a bulls fan, cmon!

he grew up a bulls fan because they were winning, if you havent noticed hes a bandwagoner

hes not leaving cleveland....for everyone saying that he would do good here or there....the cavs had the best record in the league and won their division for the last 2 seasons, that means its not the team thats holding him from the title, they just need to get their shit together in the playoffs

i don't think having the best record or winning division titles for the last 2 years will go well for me knowing that i failed to reach the finals.

they just need to get their shit together in the playoffs

lebron just checked into a hotel in miami and is planning a huge party in southbeach this weekend, 6 cabannas have been rented

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.

Alot of people are upset with Lebron James because he made a decision that can win him a championship. He been with the Cavs for 7 years and all they add was a broken down Shaq.Its about championships.He already has money. Remember when a team trade you,you know the last second when they say you are gone.

Remember when a team trade you,you know the last second when they say you are gone.

the cavs had the best record in the NBA for the past 2 years, they would have went to the finals had lebron not choked, noones mad for him chasing a championship, their mad because he claims to be the king, hes wants to be hailed as the best player on the planet, yet he has to go to a team laced with superstars just to win 1 championship

Yep, it would have been better if he stayed in Cleveland and fought and fought for a championship like Jordan did in Chicago. I will never forget when Jordan won his first title. He was crying with joy and how difficult and hard work he put in to win his first. What Lebron did was as if Jordan got tired of losing and left Chicago and joined Detroit just to win a title.

Its about championships.He already has money.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!





Let me ask you this, if this is true and its just about championships then wouldnt it make sence to take a pay cut and make salary room to bring some quality players, like a bosh or wade to cleveland to play?? I mean the cavs DIDNT suck they had the best record in the league and went deep into the playoffs both years, they were missing peices and those were pieces they couldnt get because of lebrons paycheck, if lebron cut his pay to make room for another star player do you not think the cavs...HIS TEAM...would have a championship comming up?? They wouldnt even have to work hard to get the player to come with a championship contender AND the "best player on the planet" on the team. Especially noy with Scott coachin......James took the easy way out plain and simple, he didnt feel the need to work or earn the title he feel privlidged to it, he thinks he deserves it because he is who he is so he stacked the deck to get it

Great point, and to add to the point, he just anal raped the Cav's, he waited, until last night, to let them know, if they had known before, maybe they could have gone after top tier free-agents like a Boozer or an Amare', now they are up shits creek and James just took a Mt. Rushmore size dump on them.

What ya'll are ignoring is the fact that he's a grown man and he's making a grown man decision. The NBA is also a business where business decisions are made (organizational and player). In his mind, he feels it's best for him to go play for the Heat. I don't care if he's going there for the rings, the Cubans, the beaches, whatever... If he wants to play for the Heat, he's a FREE AGENT and he is allowed to do so

LeBron, Wade & Bosh is a good start. But unless they're joining a 3-on-3 league, it now depends on how they fill out the roster and how everybody meshes. The rest of the summer will be pretty interesting.

Your right and as a grown man he should have handled the situation AS A GROWN MAN and at least made a phone call to cleveland saying sorry i wont be back next year im going to miami instead of makeing a huge spectical about it and making them wait to the last minute to watch him announce it on tv

he did it for da kidz...

it's funny how people immediately bash him for not chosing their team....lol!

I will say that Lebron does NOT owe the Cavs anything. Just because Lebron is from Cleveland doesn't mean he has to give his life to the them. The Clevland Cavs will NOT bring a ring to Cleveland before the HEAT gets another one (or two/three/four...). The Cavs won't see a championship for another 20 years or more (I guarantee this... check this thread in 2031).

And for any of you who say Lebron isn't loyal, why should he be? The owners of these teams trade these guys in heartbeat. Lebron wants to win and win now, plain and simple. The Cavs did not draft a proper supporting cast to win.

80% of you guys would leave your DJ residency in a HEARTBEAT to spin at a 40/40 club or one of those mashup-crazed 'Vegas' spots so cease with the hypo-criticism...

They ended up with that split-screen of the King’s jersey burned live on his infomercial, as this sad, lost robot sat in a leafy suburban gymnasium with children as props and the world watching, those empty eyes masking a lost, dazed LeBron James(notes). This was the champagne shower for the Championship of Me, an exercise in self-aggrandizement and self-loathing that will have far-reaching implications for the NBA and James. What a spectacle, what a train wreck.



Cleveland fans were left feeling jilted after LeBron James abandoned them via national TV.

As the worst idea in the history of marketing unfolded, James looked trapped somewhere between despondence and defiance. His bumbling buddy Maverick Carter had walked him into the public execution of his legacy, his image, and there was a part of James that clearly wished he could turn back through the doors and hide. Only, it was too late. No going back now. James goes to the Miami Heat, Cleveland goes into a basketball Hades and LeBron’s legacy becomes that of a callous carpetbagger.

Cav's Fans devastated

Lebron's Top Dunks
More NBA Videos More on LeBron JamesCavs owner's explosive letter to fans Warren Buffett to LeBron James: 'Call me' More From Adrian WojnarowskiState of LeBron: Live at 9, from his ego Jul 7, 2010 NBA stars know they better bank money now Jul 6, 2010 “His brand is [bleep] now,” one high-level NBA official said late Thursday. “He’s destroyed everything.”

The Championship of Me became the Championship of Flee, because LeBron James doesn’t believe he can be the centerpiece of a title team. He needed Dwyane Wade, a closer, far more than Wade needed him.

Yes, he’s ruined everything. What a wonderful idea: Divorce your childhood sweetheart on national television and tell her, hey, I’ll let you keep the “We are all Witnesses” billboards lording over downtown Cleveland.

“I’m taking my talents to South Beach,” James said, and it was like time stopped because – even for him – this was a moment so devoid of reality and free of concern of consequences. South Beach? He wasn’t picking a basketball team as much as a party. He’s 25 years old, and yet somehow this felt like a cloistered teenager picking a party school for college.

Yes, James will take his talent to South Beach and leave his soul in Cleveland. His hometown won’t hate him as much for leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers as for the way he left them. Leaving never would’ve been easy, but he went out of his way to humiliate them. LeBron James can never go home now. He’s the Browns leaving town, The Fumble, The Shot, all rolled into one colossal disappointment.

Now, Clevelanders truly see it for themselves: He was a fan of the Cowboys, the Yankees – never the Browns and Indians. He was a frontrunner, and he just made the most frontrunner move in the history of the NBA. Off to Miami with Riles, D-Wade and Chris Bosh(notes).

New York would’ve been hard, and maybe Cleveland would’ve been the hardest. With those state tax laws in Florida, he isn’t taking less money with the Heat. He’s just taking less risk and less burden in his championship chase.

“This whole idea that he makes his own decisions, that [bleep] went out the window with this,” one NBA executive said. “Someday, he’s going to look back at this and not believe that he let those kids at LRMR talk him into doing this. This idea that he’s his own man … Come on, he’s a follower. And he’s following all the way to Miami now.”

This was the train rolling down the tracks from miles and miles away, and James never saw it coming. He should lose his obsession to become the richest athlete ever, because the people surrounding LeBron James are much more likely to leave him broke than a billionaire. Someday, he will fire his business manager Maverick Carter for turning the two-time MVP’s free-agent moment into Geraldo and Al Capone’s vault. Carter used the cover of charity for a historically horrible event and completely destroyed the credibility of his client.

So now people are cheering Dan Gilbert’s manifesto tearing apart James, but no one contributed more to what the world witnessed on Thursday night than the owner’s enabling of James and his inner circle for seven years. Gilbert is the biggest con going, a man who makes his fortune peddling mortgages, and he’ll make his next on casinos in downtown Cleveland. He sells illusions for a living, and now he’s selling the biggest of all: that he’s a victim here, that James betrayed everyone. That’s a lie, and no one ought to dare buy it.

Everyone searching for a scapegoat here – Mike Brown, Danny Ferry, Delonte West(notes) – well, just understand that it was the man screaming loudest with LeBron out the door, the man most determined to deflect blame onto him now.


Cavs owner Dan Gilbert called LeBron James' decision to leave a "cowardly betrayal."

(AP Photo)
Now, Gilbert is the tough guy with James leaving the Cavs behind? Listen, Ferry and Brown always warned Gilbert that giving James everything he wanted – giving it when and where and how – wouldn’t be the way they would keep him. LeBron didn’t respect them because they never demanded it.

Gilbert always believed he should do everything James wanted – hire his buddies into jobs, throw them on summer-league rosters, allow him to do those stupid pregame choreographed dances – that James would love him, that he would never leave. Only, James is a taker, and he took and took until he had bled Gilbert and that franchise to the bone.

So now, Gilbert unleashes the most revisionist and self-serving screed that a scorned owner’s ever done. Gilbert is a bully and a baby. As much as James, Gilbert revealed himself, too. He asked for this humiliation and deserves it. Only those fans in Cleveland don’t deserve this. They were loyal, true, and ultimately they must know Gilbert lashed out to make James the villain for a most self-serving reason: to avoid the blame himself. Damn right James quit on the Cavaliers in that playoff series, but that was because Gilbert was always there to make it easy for him. All those times Ferry and Brown warned the owner they had to make stands with James, that they had to force him to have some level of respect within that organization or there would be an ultimate price to pay.

And here it came on Thursday night, in this bizarre, sad set-up that turned LeBron James into a caricature. His puppet seems more human than him. Listen, James’ people tried to leak this story to soften the blow on Cleveland, but here was the problem: He’s so insincere, and they’re so over their heads, that most of us were uneasy with believing what they were selling in the hours leading up to Jim Gray holding everyone hostage. There had to be an agenda, a bait-and-switch, and yet source after source within LeBron’s world insisted: He’s leaving. He wants out. They had been doing this for weeks, even months. So, armed with that knowledge, why would they ever stage this event to rub it in the face of James’ hometown? Lots of stars have moved on, but never one that had such a unique history with a town, a city, a franchise.

We kept writing it with qualifiers because deep down a lot of us doubted his courage to leave that cocoon. He would make Cleveland feel like it had lost him, and then swoop back into town and be celebrated all over again. Only, LeBron’s people were telling the truth. He was gone. He was always gone. He never considered staying, and that’s the most frightening part of all.

For the hand-wringing out of Gilbert and James’ apologists who protected him – and who would still be protecting him had he simply said, “Cleveland,” on Thursday night – they need to stop with this nonsense that somehow LeBron James has transformed into someone else. This is him, and it’s always been him. He’s a creation of our times, of an industry and system that wants to manufacture the next M.J. at the expense of a young man having a sense of himself.

So there was LeBron James, the MVP, the man of the hour, sitting in the middle of his own “Truman Show” on Thursday night. His personal network ran his commercials and celebrated his greatness and let him hijack a platform to build his brand and break hearts. He can never go home again now, and he can never completely rebuild what he let his cast of buddies talk him into losing that night. He’s taking his talents to South Beach, and the kid going away for the first time will have some party down there. After all these years, it was clear he had been coddled and protected and ultimately prepared to do one thing: Take the easy way out. Wherever he was going, he looked conflicted, lost and completely confused.

What a spectacle, what a train wreck.

What a shame.

you're all missing the point...

players leave teams, it's nothing new. for whatever reason it may be: money, titles, spotlight, etc. there's nothing groundbreaking about those reasons.

all the hate is stemming from the fact that LBJ went about his business in a very public display. he could've quietly went about his biz and made the miami decision w/o all this hype and BS. a one hour special?! c'mon son...

it's funny how people immediately bash him for not chosing their team....lol!

Your still missing the point its not about the decession its about how he handled the situation...mabye this article will explain it better





And to use your club example YES of course I would quit my residency to spin at a 40\40 if it was in best interest, but I would have a meeting with the owner tell em im leaving prob try to spin there until they help em find someone else....I wouldnt pull a lebron and causally bring it up that i miiiiight be leaving then show up on a sat night while its packed get on the mic and scream This club sucks im on to bigger and better things PEACE then cut the music and walk out on a full dancefloor. Its all about class

I will say that Lebron does NOT owe the Cavs anything. Just because Lebron is from Cleveland doesn't mean he has to give his life to the them.

is that what you think this is REALLY about?

I wonder what happens to shaq after all of this LOL

of course not. but if he picked your team, then you'd be all over his nutz...admit it....

i'm kinda pissed he didn't pick the Clippers.

The cavs celtics will be a pretty epic showdown

ReFRESH is right.

Its kind of dope that he would go play on a team with all his boys for a lower amount of money.

You are all making it seem like he's leaving $30 million on the table. That's not the whole truth, we are talking about different length contracts 6 years/$120m vs. 5 year/$90-100 million with the Heat. With the Heat dumping Beasley, they can afford to pay Princess the max. Plus with no state tax in Miami, it's probably around the same amount over the long run even with the new CBA.

^^ my boy Roscoe was like "he went from being a backup PG on a championship team to being a backup PG on one of the worst teams"

lulz

You need a backup dj and i vote myself.

Last Saturday, while you were enjoying bratwursts and s'mores, Carmelo Anthony(notes) was marrying LaLa Vasquez, an MTV VJ. Cool weekend plans, I suppose. And since Melo is a big-time NBA baller, he attracted more than a few celebrities to his New York City nuptials. In attendance were Kim Kardashian, Spike Lee, Justin Timberlake and Ludacris, who hopefully provided entertainment during the reception. Oh, and LeBron James(notes), whom you may have heard of.

That's right — LeBron James was in New York City just two days after choosing the Miami Heat in his highly rated one-hour ESPN special. You can imagine how well that went over with Knick fans. From Fox Sports:

[LeBron] James was greeted by a round of loud boos from angry New Yorkers outside the wedding in Cipriani 42nd Street when he arrived with his girlfriend Savannah Brinson, myFOXny.com reported.


[Photos: See more from Carmelo and LaLa's celeb-studded wedding]

Geez, LeBron. Way to almost ruin your friend's wedding by choosing to play in Miami. It's like that old saying: "You made your multi-millon dollar free-agency bed, now get booed by Knick fans in it." Or something like that. LBJ might as well hear the jeers now, since he'll be getting heckled basically everywhere but Miami-Wade County. Better to start with a few scattered New Yorkers than 20,000 rabid Clevelanders who hate his guts.

Of course, if those same classy Knick fans had stuck around a little longer, they might have gotten some good news. According to the New York Post's Marc Berman, attendee Chris Paul(notes) made a pretty interesting speech at the ceremony.

During Carmelo Anthony's wedding Saturday night at Cipriani's on 42nd Street, Chris Paul, the superstar New Orleans point guard, predicted a future Knicks Dream Team. [...]

According to a person who spoke with wedding attendee Amar'e Stoudemire(notes), Paul made the reference during a speech of a potential union of himself, Stoudemire and Anthony, saying, "We'll form our own Big 3," Paul allegedly said.


[Photos: More celebs who love pro athletes]

I'm sure that won't get New York fans' hopes up for the summer of 2012. Surely they'll take this potential joining of forces in stride and not get too upset if it never comes to fruition. At least I hope that's the case because VJs don't grow on trees these days. If things change, it'd be unfortunate for Knicks fans to have to boo Chris Paul for passing Jesse Camp on the street.

Now that we signed him (agreed to) I can start ragging on him again....

Now that we signed him (agreed to) I can start ragging on him again....

3 painful more years getting burned by quick guards... LOL

I'm surprised they signed him for 3 years...dude will be 38/39 by end of his contract, but props to him to keeping with the Lakers and not going to Miami. Like I said before, Fisher thrives somewhat in the Triangle offense cuz it's a boring old man's offense that revolves around passing and spacing and not so much on isolation. If he went to Miami, he wouldn't be nearly as effective as he was for the Lakers

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after finishing tied for 22nd in the American Century Championship golf tournament in Stateline, Nev. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

"Mike and I are in 100 percent agreement on this," Charles Barkley told the Arizona Republic this week. "If you're the two-time defending NBA MVP, you don't leave anywhere. They come to you. That's ridiculous. I like LeBron. He's a great player. But I don't think in the history of sports you can find a two-time defending MVP leaving to go play with other people."

Lakers are trying to sign Jeremy Lin.

Oh shit! I saw him playing in one of the summer league games. That dude is siiiiiiick!!!!

Oh shit! I saw him playing in one of the summer league games. That dude is siiiiiiick!!!!

so sorry laker fans...we just licked him!

Warriors...come out and play!

Nah, I'm kidding. Nothing but love for my LA friends who have gotten to enjoy watching the Lakers get handed Game 6s and 7s against the Kings, Blazers and Celtics. They refuse to acknowledge that it happened, because that would be admitting that some of their victories have been tainted.

Game 7, Lakers/Blazers, Lakers took 21 more free throws than the Blazers.
Game 6, Lakers/Kings, Lakers took 16 more free throws than the Kings, including 27 in the 4th quarter compared to the Kings 9.
Game 7, Lakers/Celtics, Lakers took 20 more free throws than the Celtics, including 21 in the 4th compared to the Celtics 6.

But again, I'm a sore loser for pointing out REMARKABLE similarities between the Celtics game (which "wasn't fixed") and the Kings and Blazers games (that were certainly fixed and there are referees who admit to it). Anyone who looks at those numbers and can justifiably say things are on the level is mad.

I'm done with talking about this now. I won't be talking about it again.

Looks like CP3 wants out: msn.foxsports.com

Watch the Lakers get him for Bynum and then watch Bynum break his ankles on the first play of preseason.

Actually, CP3 to the Celtics makes the most sense. Celtics give up Rondo + Sheed's Contract + 3M and the Hornets give up Okafor and CP3. The Hornets save money w/ Sheed's contract and they get a real piece w/ Rondo.

Rondo is a Base Year player. not gonna happen.

Nah, I'm kidding. Nothing but love for my LA friends who have gotten to enjoy watching the Lakers get handed Game 6s and 7s against the Kings, Blazers and Celtics. They refuse to acknowledge that it happened, because that would be admitting that some of their victories have been tainted.

You are saying the Lakers won critical game based solely on getting more free throws according to some stat sheet???? You know the Lakers had the most dominant hard to guard big man in the league in his prime? What was his name....oh yeah....some dude named Shaq. Lakers got more free throws all those years than all the teams, just because we had Shaq. Nobody could stop him and they had to foul him a lot so he wouldn't score an easy basket. So your conclusion of the Lakers being handed the games because Lakers got more free throws is supported by very weak arguments.

Like I said: I'm not going to talk about this anymore. There's literally no point in arguing with a brick wall.

Yeah okay. Fine.

You guys are right. Tim Donaghy lied, that's why he's in prison for NOT throwing NBA games.

You're right, referees can't alter the game at all. Nope.

I like how Kobe tries to stack the Lakers will all the players he had beef with in the past....Artest, Raja Bell, Barnes.....hell, just throw Shaq on the squad and let's call it a day.

Respect to Dwight Howard!

In just two years as general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves, David Kahn has continually followed up some baffling personnel decisions by making weird comments better-suited for online message boards than for press conferences. He continues to claim that Ricky Rubio is coming to the NBA any day now even when no such hard evidence exists, he praised archetypal bust Darko Milicic as "manna from heaven," and he welcomed Michael Beasley(notes) to Minnesota by saying his problems in Miami stemmed from smoking too much weed. At this point in his GM career, Kahn is not just someone who makes mistakes with the press -- he's reckless and doesn't think about potential consequences before he speaks.

But Kahn is a perfectionist, so it should come as no surprise that he followed up Tuesday night's NBA Draft Lottery with perhaps the most foolish comments of his professional life.

In case you missed it, the Wolves entered the lottery with a 25 percent chance at nabbing the top pick in the draft and came out of it with the second-overall pick. Given some previous cases of lottery bad luck -- like, say, last season's 12-win Nets ending up with the No. 3 pick -- the Wolves came out OK. The Cleveland Cavaliers, the team with the second-worst record in the league during the 2010-11 campaign, finished with the top pick, albeit by way of the pick they received in trade with the eighth-worst Los Angeles Clippers. It was a moment of great fortune for the Cavs and franchise representative Nick Gilbert, the 14-year-old son of owner Dan Gilbert who has had to deal with neurofibromatosis, a terrible nervous disorder that causes benign and malignant tumors to grow randomly in all parts of the body, for his entire life. It's a great story for a kid and franchise who can use some good luck.

Don't tell that to Kahn, though, because he hinted that he was the victim of underhanded dealings. From Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press:

"This league has a habit, and I am just going to say habit, of producing some pretty incredible story lines," Kahn said. "Last year it was Abe Pollin's widow and this year it was a 14-year-old boy and the only thing we have in common is we have both been bar mitzvahed. We were done. I told Kevin [O'Connor of Utah]: 'We're toast.' This is not happening for us and I was right."

Yeah, widows and sick kids get all the luck.

To Kahn's credit, he gave another post-lottery interview in which he seemed to suggest that ill fortune is sometimes the way of the world. But those comments don't change the fact that he also issued the quote above, which reads more like the paranoid fantasy of a bratty child than what you'd expect from a high-profile NBA executive whose team earned a pick generally in line with what the lottery odds suggested they would. Plus, the Wolves didn't even have the league's worst record last year; that would be the aforementioned Nets. If Kahn cares so much about wronged parties, shouldn't he be going to bat for Mikhail Prokhorov instead of complaining about his own rotten deal?

Kahn didn't explicitly say that he's the victim of a conspiracy, but the "and I am just going to say habit" portion of his quote suggests that he's dealing in euphemism to avoid a fine. Lottery conspiracy theories are nothing new -- some people still believe that David Stern dipped an envelope in tartar sauce in 1985 to ensure that the Knicks would win the right to select Patrick Ewing. But general managers typically have the good sense to shut their mouths and not complain in public in a manner typically associated with annoying fans who hide behind a cloak of Internet anonymity.

To make this story even sillier, Stern put in a good word with Wolves owner Glen Taylor to help his friend Kahn get the Wolves job in 2009. Why, exactly, would Stern change course and doom Kahn to the ignominy of picking second in the draft? Does he not want to make it appear like he plays favorites?

There are many bad general managers in the league, of which Kahn is arguably the worst on the merits, or lack thereof, of his personnel decisions. However, what makes him a truly odious figure is that he regularly acts with a level of arrogance that suggests he thinks he's entitled to success. Being an NBA general manager is a tough job that requires patience, hard work, and an ability to roll with several cases of bad luck. Sadly, after two years on the job, Kahn has proven that he doesn't have the temperament to succeed in the job. How much longer can Taylor and the Minnesota fanbase stand him?
