Should Cleveland be next to make a splash? 

Post#1 » by ballchique » Fri Feb 8, 2008 2:58 am

This has been such a crazy time lately with the Lakers, and Phoenix making big moves. And Shaq to Phoenix! Never saw that coming lol.

Plus there are so many rumours with Kidd, and Kirilenko going around. I'm watching the Cleveland-Rockets game and even though undermanned, Lebron's team doesn't look good.

Do you think Lebron likes seeing these teams getting stronger? Lebron wants to win, so do you think Cleveland is next to make a big move (Kidd...)?

P.S> would love Kirilenko on the raps:)

improper English. It should be "Will" instead of "should"

if he wants better teammates he can take a pay cut. Guy makes trillions outside the cavs

you can only have so many bowling alleys in your house before it gets stupid

in the end, I think he'll choose more bowling alleys

Mike Miller would be the perfect wing player next to LeBron.

I see Shannon Brown as a great fit in Memphis if he goes the other way. Extremely underrated. I have no clue who the Grizzlies would take back to make contracts work...Newble? Eric Snow. :confused: They probably have better suitors out there for Miller.

I alluded to Lebron wanting Cleveland to still be a contender. They were close last year, and Lebron is competitive. Therefore, "Should".....as to appease Lebron, and to legitimately still be a threat.

They are the defending Eastern Champs. Doesn't Lebron want Kidd?

Problem is...they don't have many assets other teams are looking to land.

With what exactly?

I don't know if teams are lining up outside Quicken Loans Arena trying to acquire Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Ira Newble, Eric Snow, etc...

I'm hoping to see the Cavs get Kidd. Not sure they have the package it would take, but I think they can figure something out.

But I dont think they'll make a splash.
Good Lord, the little stoner's got a point.

Cleveland desperately wants to be a player in the trade market but they literaly have nothing to offer anyone.

Next year should be different. They'll have a lot of expiring contracts.

Lebron is sooooo full of himself, I can't believe he actually refers to himself as "king james". I saw him calling himself king james the other day, and his teammates just looked so uninterested, and annoyed by him.

I hope he never wins a title, he makes me sick. Being how dumb the Cavs GM is, I am sure he will do more to drive Lebron out, than to actually surround him with a real group of players.

Lebron's ego is slowing getting bigger and bigger... After that game when he went off on us he actually said it was CB's girlfriend and cousin's fault we lost the game..

Then a week later he heckled with fans in Portland and won the game on a driving layup, and on national TV he said 'this was the second time this happened this season, it happened in Toronto where a fan cost them the game'...

I do have a problem with that, which I doubt BronBron has considered. He's basically saying he can turn it on at any time and win any game. So don't push him or he'll do it.

So, if he can do it anytime, why doesn't he?

Of course Lebron doesnt like the fact that other teams are getting better.
