Upon hearing the news, Udonis Haslem left a fish wrapped in a tattered, half-burnt #23 Cavaliers jersey on LeBron's bed.

No, a horsehead wrapped in a half-burnt #23 Cavs' jersey in his pillow lmao

Anybody care to explain why we are freaking out here. It is clearly Cavs fans generating this nonsense. Not sure if you get how this works for the people up there. They have nothing, Cavs basketball was their world, and some want Lebron back so bad they take to the web pretending to have some inside info.

This is the biggest story in sports,and maybe the national media at this point...Alot of people trying to aquire money, followers, and notoriety out of this. Don't be fooled by all this crap, the only people reporting negative news are Cavs fans, and people who clearly get their sources out of Cleveland (Broussard). Miami doesn't talk so where do these reporters come up with info, thats right personal trainers in Cleveland, cupcake shop owners, friends of friends of friends, and even message boards.

Lets look at the facts. Wade opted out, Haslem opted out, they left that money for what and who? You really think Lebron flys Wade and Riley out to Vegas to say hey sorry guys I'm going to Cleveland? Not to mention has Cleveland made any moves, or even linked to any? No...However we are operating as if we are capped out, I swear some of you act like Riley has down syndrome, and not the best executive in league history

That whole "Wade blessing thing". I can't stop laughing. Especially coming from a guy that has no sources in the Cavs organization anymore. Yet they fall for it.

Lebron is being setup to be seen as a villian once again by the media and Cleveland apologists once he re-signs with Miami. The guy can't catch a break from all the vitriol directed his way. It will be spun as the 2nd heartbreaking decision against the poor people of Cleveland all based on fake rumors and innuendo. Watch and see the pity party articles written about how he led them on despite not saying a word

Maybe the market just wasn't there for them. I mean Anthony freaking Morrow wants to see how the market works out. Not even going to mention the Meeks deal to kick of FA.

We could have chosen to be use cap space to sign our players instead, but we did not. There is simply not enough money to go around our stars. Imagine the sacrifice required:

James: $15m ($5m sacrifice per annum)
Bosh: $14m ($6m sacrifice per annum)
Wade: $9m ($10m sacrifice per annum)
Stephenson: $9m
McRoberts: $5.3m
Andray Blatche $3m
Jameer Nelson: $3m
Cole: $2.1m
Napier: $1m
Hamilton: $800k
Imcomplete roster charge x 2: $1m

Total roster salary: $63.2m

Rookie scale: Ennis
Vet's min: Allen, Oden + 1 back-up C
S&T with Rio: 1 back-up PF on $3-5m salary

I cannot imagine the Big 3 leaving a total of $22m on the table. Therefore, our only alternative is to operate as a capped team and sign players using S&T, various player exceptions (MLE, BAE and TPE) and vet's min.

It actually came from our local radio. I was listening. A local guy in marketing read a text message he just got from his friend. The text said so my boss just told me I had to cancel my vacation... Nike just bought every empty billboard in Cleveland and the surrounding areas. My boss told me I can't take my vacation for 3 months.
