he is unhappy there, and cmon lets face it...a big man like dwight is attractive for free agents and they obviously played awesome together last night. anyone see lebron and dwight teaming up in orlando in the future?

2010?

Yeah, Dwight looked good boxing out after Lebron's 3point attempts.

As an ORL fan, I'd like to see us win. Having him here would = many wins.

However, as a basketball fan I'd like to see him stay in his hometown and win with CLE.

This is a good formula to use for combining the amount of championships Dwight and Lebron would win.

Dwight X Lebron + 13 "other guys" = 8 championships in a row.

Likelihood happening X Our Management + Reality / Me winning the lotto = ∞

Magic with the $200m payroll in 2010/2011

theres one problem with this idea ... orlando isnt on the list of teams that would get him that 100 mill extension from nike... thus lebron will be in either brooklyn or l.a.

JJ for lebron straight up! jp but if this option was available, otis would have to at least try to make it happen (if otis is still with us in 2010/2011)...if thats the case with the nike thing, i can see lebron in brooklyn

Lebron can stay in that slum Cleveland. I don't want his arrogant ass influencing Dwight.

theres no way he comes here, he wants to go to a big city so he can get more money from nike...he wants to be the first sports billionaire..but if he wants to win a championship with a big man...

LBJ has a player option of roughly $17 mil in 10-11. We will be at $44 mil but with only Dwight, Jameer and Rashard under contract. The cap will be roughly at maybe $63-64 mil then if trends continue. We could sign LBJ starting at $17 mil for five years with standard raises giving us maybe $4mil to add 11 players to round out our roster. we were under the cap so we wont have a MLE for that year.

Long story short we will never be able to sign him. We would have to trade for him and as such the chances are

4 mill for the other 11 players sounds reasonable.... ill suit up for anything over 65,000.00 so you can count me in!

Lebron will be in Cleveland for life. The only reason he resigned until 2010 is so that he will be eligible for a max contract when the Collective Bargaining Agreement runs out and the cap structure is potentially redone. Unless you think that the additional money that Nike throws at him will be more than what Cleveland can give him he will be staying put.

lebron and dwight= lots of rings

I disagree. I think he'll bolt for NY or LA at the first opportunity. I really expect that he'll be a Knick and will resurrect the franchise. But he'll leave Cleveland IMO.

If that were the case, why did he even bother signing an extension with Cleveland 2 years ago? Whatever marketing opportunities he has now he had back then, so what makes this situation so different. At least now, he knows that his team is good enough to make the Finals. Who knows what would happen with him in New York when their management situation is worse? Lebron is smart, and he likes playing at home. The only way he goes to New York is in a trade for Marbury's expiring next year, and No one in the NBA is dumb enough to make that move. Plus, there is no guarantee that he even has a clause in his Nike deal that pays him more for playing in a big city. I would put my chips on him staying in Cleveland.

I can appreciate this thread, but there's no way in hell James will ever come here. lol it would be disgusting though, basically you could have me running back up pg and we'd still go to the finals

happypedro not to rain on youre parade but i already claimed the backup pg spot so youll have to go elsewhere... cleveland does need a pg maybe you could look there.

Or voteforpedo could be the starting PG and we'd still win (with Hedo and Shard as well).

never happen, but...

PG: Arroyo
SG: Bogans
SF: LeBron James
PF: Augustine
C: Dwight

= championship...
