I couldn't agree more.

It will be like Kobe/Shaq part 2 but on a very young well balanced team.

What Cleveland fan wouldn't love to add Dwight into the mix?

Nice thread on the Cavs' board.

And I'm basically saying that Howard + Lebron = too much megasuperstar power. Who gets the credit?

And how did Kobe and Shaq work out? I don't think either of them were too pleased with one another, and they're always trying to best each other now.

You can submit offers to resign your own players. I've been really busy the past week so I haven't had much time, I should have some time tomorrow to look at the offers and catch up on a few other things.

umm why would Lebron want to play in a city that couldnt even sell out every game even though they had a championship contending team. Lebron would continue to feel the love in LA where every game is sold out, and Jack is sitting courtside, who could turn that down.

hey skorff Lebrons offer will be coming in soon just want to tweak the roster a bit more, so Lebron knows what he's working with.

3 straight titles if I'm not mistaken.

and

Howard is much more humble/able to be a cohesive fit for the long term than 'The Big Ego'. I foresee zero problems with Dwight being able to coexist with LeBron for a looooong time while they pile up the hardware.

the lakers in the shaq and kobe era had lots of role players who all had a high basketball IQ, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Robert Horry (the clutchest playoff player ever!), and a Great Head Coach, u got watson come on.., morrow who u overvalue way tooo much, and favors who is an unproven rookie as ur PF who would get dominated in the east against other PF's like Duncan, Smith, KG, and Dirk. and then u have like six players signed for the minimum.

Hmmm... big city... check...

anyway guys, i think we're being a little too "nosy" here lol... technically this would be considered tampering, right?

bringbackhoffa · Post #94 » by **bringbackhoffa** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:44 pm

yea stop tempering, what about joe johnson...lol

Post #95 » by **roc** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:48 pm

No worries on how my team will fill out. As for my plan, I will save that info for skorff.

and

I have mostly refrained from talking openly about LeBron until now. Since Free Agency is upon us it is mos def not tampering.
