So should we automatically expect the Cavaliers to have a lottery pick in next years draft?

Mo Williams is thier best player now. I bet they got after a player like JJ Redick. they have 8 million in cap space, so who knows. However if I am Mo Williams I want out, he should go to the Knicks or something.

Just Kobe & highly respect Phil.

I only have one favorite professional sports team: the Ravens.

And then I support the University I attended.

[Wacko4Zacko]

I wonder what Wizards rookie John Wall is thinking now that he is going to have to play LeBron, Bosh, and DWade.

Im not 100% sure but I'm sure it was a decent amount to get the interview and all,LeBron said that's the main reason he did it this way.

Found it. The Boys & Girls Club said they'd probably make about $2.5 million from 'The Decision' 1-hour show. That was pretty cool of LeBron. Now I feel bad I said he sounds like Mr. Monotone.

Stay classy, Cleveland... wow, burning his jersey, really???

Besides my "home town" Wizards and non-home town team the Lakers, the Heat and Wade have been a favorite team and player of mine. I can't wait to see what these guys can do together.

[Wacko4Zacko]

So the southeast division is becoming very very very interesting, lets take a look at what it have....

Charlotte Bobcats who had a good playoff berth and thier owner is one of the best to ever play.
The Orlando Magic and Superman Dwight Howard and Vince Carter
Atlanta Hawks who re-signed Joe Johnson
Washington Wizards have #1 overall pick John Wall
and then Miami Heat with Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and LeBron James.

[b]Is the Southeast division not going to be the most interesting diviison out of the whole league? What do you guys think, any other division that can top this one?[/b]

Like how none of those three have signed a deal yet,they want to win so they waiting to sign even if its for less money.

Completely the opposite of the NFL I must say...

[RavensAllTheWay]

Chemistry is still the key though, there can be no denying of that. The only question I have is how are these three gonna adopt to not being the star every single game? They'll probably be fine, but who knows?

NBA = Fully guaranteed deals; NFL = No guaranteed money, except for what's negotiated, and even that isn't fully guaranteed if they're cut, etc.

WOW........... and what I want to know is how many people in Cleveland are going to stop supporting the team because of Lebron not being there anymore, which it seems we know those people, the ones who are burning his jersey.

Now one thing, does this mean we can't turn on ESPN at all because all they will talk about the next week is Lebron this, Lebron that... Miami this, Miami that.

Didn't everyone say that about the Boston Celtics too when KG, Ray Allen and Pierce came together? Look how they've gelled, and won.

Just so you know, I didn't say they won't jell together. In fact, I said I'm confident that they will, but it's still always gonna be a question until they step onto the court.

P.S. Art Modell is still considered the most hated man in Cleveland, now followed closely by LeBron James (according to the ESPN telecast); it's really despicable if you ask me, especially after all he's done for that city and team the past 7 years! They had their chance and never got enough of the right players around him so he's decided moved on. I would have done the exact same thing.

[Wacko4Zacko]

Both Bosh and Wade are on Sportcenter next to speak about LeBron's decision.

I am soo pissed off with the Bulls, ugh. Ugh how could they let leBron walk!? Boozer is good, but LeBron would have been great.I think im going to stop liking them. I need to pick a new team.

You were implying that NFL players are greedy and all about the money. I was pointing out why NFL players are more concerned about getting paid more now, as opposed to later.

Seriously? You have Derrick Rose, Boozer, Noah and Deng... along with a bunch of other young guys.

I agree, Lebron isnt necessary when you have Boozer plus a supporting cast like that.

sort of...whatever. Deals are harder to come by in the NFL, I'll acknowledge that.
