Would love for King James to stay w/ Cavs

I would love for King James to come to Charlotte, but that wont happen. But my second option would be for him to stay with the Cavs. I hate that teams are clearing cap space and blowing up teams in an effort to lure him in 2010. Expecially the NY Knicks. God how great would it be to see them blow that team up and sux for 2 years and then realize he was never coming! Please let me see that so I can laugh at them.

But Cav posters are SO annoying. Knick posters are know-it-alls, so I doubt that it would be an improvement really, but I'm hoping that they sign LeBron, but waste the rest of the cap space foolishly and struggle for the remainder of the contract to put a contender together.

I would laugh my ring out if Lebron resigns with the Cavs.. I'll be able to here the cries here in Australia from all the whinging Knicks supporters. I think the Knicks board would commit a ritual suicide....

I'd go a long way to laugh at a Knicks supporter.

Well if the Knicks don't get Lebron they will probably get Bosh or Wade or somebody. A team with a coach that everybody leaves, plenty of money and in that type of market will net them somebody. They probably have backup plans.
I would love it if Lebron stays to just because it's not fair to Cavs fans. Just imagine the best player in the league right now was on the Cats from Charlotte and then goes to LA or NY? Messed up.

Most long time Cavs fans are ok...actually most of 'em post over at Real Cavs Fans or one of the other Cavs boards. It's the johnny come lately bandwagon LeBron fans that are annoying but they would just follow LBJ to NY.

I would much rather see LeBron stay in Cle. Don't really need to see the Knicks buy a championship like the Yankees try to do every year in baseball. How about teams draft and build their own teams instead of dumping contracts to buy one in free agency?

hoping james goes anywhere but NY market or LA market.

i dont want the NBA to turn into MLB or the premier league where only 4 teams are able to pay for the best talent.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
