I suppose it won't be open to the public. Even in Akron LeBron would get booed if he announced leaving. If it's open to the public people will go nuts about him staying

Exec said TOR going back-and-forth on whether they want to try a total rebuild or attempt to get veterans that can help more immediately.

A factor here may be that GM Bryan Colangelo has just one year left on his contract. So, point is, nothing close to firm w/Bosh right now.

Has anyone here been to the Knicks board today? The denial and illogical spin displayed there is equivalent to blatant stupidity. They STILL believe they are in the driver's seat.

Latest re: Lebron on Chicago from Windhorst:

"He really likes Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah," wrote Windhorst. "But there's lack of shooters on roster. Also it doesn't sound like he's exactly being welcomed by Rose. Didn't say Rose was anti-LeBron. But the word is preference was Joe Johnson. They have same agent. That is what multiple people tell me."

Eff me if it doesn't look like Lebron's gonna stay in Cleveland. If he stays, I'll have a new found respect for Lebron. I hope he stays and wins a ring in Cleveland. He can win a ring anywhere else, but it wouldn't mean half as much as if he did it in Cleveland.

Whoa! If that's the latest you're seeing from Windy you need to order that software that speeds up your computer. That tweet was from 18 hours ago.

I'm not going to post there until this thing is over. They're suffering as much as we are, but they sure are a testy bunch. Seriously! They're eating their young on that board. God help anyone, Knick fan or not, who doesn't see "Lebron to NY" as a done deal. :-?

Cavs understand there are still looming threats to pry LeBron, but getting Bosh isn't make or break on keeping LBJ.

Do you think LeBron James' reference to himself on Twitter profile as "King of Akron" is meant ironically?

Back in gym, LeBron about to play pickup with Jamario Moon, Daniel Gibson, Jawad Williams and Christian Eyenga vs. college kids.

But why am I telling you, I'm sure LeBron will tweet all about it later...

But no, the city of Cleveland - so boring Bosh doesn't want to come there - is ruining everything and keeping LBJ enslaved to a small market. Are you proud of yourselves?


OMG I KNOW! STUPID SMALL MARKETS! THEY'RE HORRIBLE! :rofl:

I would strongly suggest that you don't make a single post on the Cavs board for now, at least until LeBron makes an actual decision. At this point, keep those uncivilized comments to yourself. Consider this a warning.

LeBron getting stretched after workout, texting away on his 2 BlackBerries. He's probably got more info than anyone in the NBA at moment.
