3 more hours until Lebron stops this circus that has been overshadowing much of the sports world.

Can you believe he's doing a 1 hour show on ESPN for this?

I think he can win a ring in Chicago or Miami... and while people don't think he should go to Miami because there aren't enough basketballs to go around... don't you think it would be better to play with Wade/Bosh than against them?

And to all the Cleveland fans... if he does go... don't take it personally... it's just business. As much as it would make everyone feel good for him to stay in his home state... you don't want to end up like Charles Barkley, John Stockton or Karl Malone. Go get that ring and then you can spend your twilight years back as a Cavalier.
 
Well... I voted Miami and that's where he's headed.

Good decision in my mind... Cleveland fans need to understand it's about the ring... everything else doesn't really matter.

I do wonder if Bosh and Wade were not there... if his decision would be different (probably Chicago was 2nd).
 
Shaq should take the minimum to go back to Miami reunite with Wade and LeBron and get another ring so his rivalry with Kobe can continue.

And Chalmers and Beasley are decent players so all they need is 5 more guys who are willing to take a cut to get a trophy on the new superteam.
 
Any decent veteran or even 2nd/3rd year player will recognize the potential of winning a ring with the new Big Three and sign with Miami for the minimum... I don't think they will have a problem finding players to fill the spots.

Look at Rondo, Perkins and Big Baby... they were nobodies before, Rondo is now an all-star in the other two fill their roles well.
 
Trying to go through the FA list and find good fits for them.  Hopefully the new 3 sign for like 12 million a year instead of 16 so they have some room to move around.

First, I think they need a shooting specialist to come off the bench and to break the zones they will probably see a lot of. The ones I'd want shouldn't be too pricey are: Mike Miller, J.J. Redick, Kyle Korver, Roger Mason, James Jones, Anthony Morrow, Eddie House

Then a decent backup PG that can shoot as well (I'm hoping their plan is to have Jason Williams as the #3 PG, not the #2) such as Felton (probably too pricey), Farmar, Pargo, Ridnour

Some big guys (hopefully get one guy as starting C, another as backup PF/C - Shaq, Brad Miller, Haslem, , KWAME BROWN, one of the Collins brothers, Oberto

then just some scrappy vets to fll in from time to time  and add some toughness - Brian Skinner,  Joe Smith, Anthony Johnson, Josh Powell, Amundson, Rafer Alston, Tony Allen

and lets not forget.....ADAM MORRISON...he is on the quest for his 3rd ring!  If you don't remember his huge contributions in the NBA finals, be sure to check out:

The question is who will be willing to take a paycut to be a part of this.  I was surprised they traded Beasley since he only makes 4.5 million and he s a nice player to have backing up both Bosh and Lebron who just never misses if he has an open midrange jumper.  Just remember, about those three Celtics you named IHO...they were all draft picks and developed.  The only one we can probably compare them to is how Chalmers turns out, hes going to be the new Rondo with the attention focused on him to step up.  I only remember seeing Butler playing college from their new draft picks.  Not sure how good the other guys are they drafted this year.
 
Yeah... the Beasley trade seemed strange as he turned out better in his 2nd season... but I guess he may have conduct issues (as does Chalmers).

I want Shaq to go back to Miami... as for PG... I also like Felton and maybe he'll take a cut to get that ring.

And please don't say Kwame Brown ever again...  especially in caps.

I disagree about his take on LeBron's legacy... and I think people are being way too critical of LBJ.

I don't think anyone can put themselves in his shoes and make a better decision... stay in Cleveland and possible never win, go to NY and just be a media star, go to Chicago and have a better chance but then you have to play against Wade/Bosh... or just join up Wade/Bosh and give yourself the best chance possible.

Comparison's to Kobe are unfair... if the Laker's didn't get Pau and one other serviceable player... he would still be at only 3 rings and probably going to Miami himself.
