Whos under more pressure to make a decision Lebron or Wade?

[CDM88]

Lebron was never leaving cleveland

[LakersSquad]

I think LeBron. Wade is a nobody compared to LeBron. I think the decision is basically to have Bosh join him in Chicago or Cleveland, whichever makes more sense (does Chicago really have the better roster than Cleveland?)

If LeBron got Bosh and somebody else good (Joe Johnson?) to join him in Cleveland, then definitely the safest decision would be to stay with Cleveland.

How the **** is he supposed to get JJ on the cavs?

[cdouglas]

There's NO pressure for both because they're not leaving their teams. The pressure is on Bosh.

Lebron obviously. After years of hype, numerous overrating of his skill and dancing around he's still yet to win more than 1 series over a 50+ win team in playoffs with a good supporting cast.

Wade already has a ring.

Wade.

James is the King, and he basically started all this, he could do what he wants when he wants

You Lakers fans are so pathetic. You criticize the best player since Jordan with such ease.

RunMCR, everytime I see you, you're criticizing the best player in the game (since 05-06). You guys (Kobe nutriders) bitch about his "crappy" supporting cast in the mid 2000's and yet you criticize LeBron for losing with a much inferior supporting cast. The Lakers supporting cast of 05-06 > any Cavaliers team.

This is no different than Kobe bitching his way to LA. Technically, he's been with TWO teams.

Why isn't this thread locked? It's created so Kobe homers can bash LeBron without punishment.

People coming in this thread to not answer the pressure question but to try and demean and diminish Wade and James as players..that's funny.

Take a look -- a handful of Lakers' trolls claiming LeBron has more pressure -- which actually makes it even more impressive if LeBron wins a title. He'll have done it while maintaining ridiculous expectations and exceeding them.

Not too much thought process going into posts from Lakers' fans.

i would expect wade to go to chicago since his family/children are there

[WiseOwlWins]

^wrong, that was the DREAM scenario. which in turn has become nothing but a dream. the main plan through it all has been for wade to make it known he wants to stay in miami and then recruit another star, bosh or amare to miami to play together plus roleplayers to get back to contending. wade has proven he doesnt need anything better than a declining superstar and some roleplayers to win a ring.

A dynasty team doesn't have to be Lebron/Wade/Bosh. When I said dynasty in my post I meant Lebron being the main piece of a team that dominates the league and wins multiple championships.

i was responding to skyhook's post not yours, sorry for the confusion.

[Benedict_Boozer]

Lebron. As some others said, he needs to start winning titles and soon.

[BallAboveAll]

It's easily Bron Bron. He's the main guy who has hyped up the summer of 2010.

I barely bash Kobe..Just for his shot selection sometimes.

And I'm not a Laker fan. Far from it.

WTF are you talking about?

[john248]

LBJ has more pressure. The media is just blowing this out of proportion now. Also it doesn't help when LBJ is the hometown hero of Akron/Cleveland, so leaving that city will look poorly on him. Then he has expectations to have his new team win. If he stays with the Cavs, yea still the same pressure to win, but going to a new place will bring even more added pressure since it will be seen as him going to a place that gives him the best chance to win.

Wade already has a ring, so it won't be nearly as bad nor does he get as much front page headlines does LBJ gets. Yes, if Wade goes to Chicago, there will be pressure to win since he's been there before, but it won't nearly be as bad especially when he doesn't really have the Jordan comparisons either. That and Chicago is Wade's hometown.

[Bravenewworld]

LBJ.
He has the entire NBA waiting to see where he goes so they can base their destination around his.

[PEYTON_GOAT]

LeBron.

As far as I see it, Wade has two clear options: Stay in Miami with Bosh maybe coming in, or go to Chicago. Plus he already has a ring so it's not like he's desperate to win a title.

LeBron's entire future is up in the air and he has multiple places to go. He wants to not only finally win one but win many so therefore he has to take more time to really look at what could be the best place for him long term.

LeBron by far, more will be expected from him regardless of where he ends up and the decision to stay in Cleveland or leave home adds to the pressure. If he leaves, it has the potential to not severely damage his image in terms of loyalty and the hometown kid image that's been portrayed for years.
