yeah it was like that 2010 too..

every hour or so it was either staying in CLE ..then later it was Chicago then NY and the either CLE or CHI again.. and almost no one had Miami as a realistic option..

so no one knew in advance... and most reports even an hour before he anounced it where false.. i think out of all those reporters only 1 got Miami... and no one listened because it seemed to far fetched..

its the same now.. everyones speculating... yet no one knows.. and no one will knows until its done..

LeBron is just teasing and messing with the Cavs.

So hard to say.

Signing McRoberts and Granger makes it seem as though they know everyone is coming back since they are paying them out of the MLE and BAE and not cap space. If they were worried that LBJ and/or Bosh were leaving, wouldn't they keep their cap space open?

I'm in the minority and actually like those signings a lot.
McRoberts could be their version of Diaw while Granger is low risk/medium-high reward signing.

Chalmers / Nole / Nappier
Wade / Allen
LBJ / Granger
McRoberts / Haslem
Bosh / Andersen

vs.

Irving / Dellevedova
Waiters / Karasev
Wiggins /
LBJ / Thompson / Bennett
Varejao / Zeller

More potential in Cleveland, but a better immediate shot at a title in Miami IMO, though Cleveland could clearly make more moves and has more assets.

Honestly the Cavs should have drafted Noel last year and Parker this year.
Irving/Dellevedova
Parker/Waiters
LBJ/Thompson
Varejao/??
Noel/Zeller

Looks like a better fit. Not to mention the 3 first round picks they'll have next season, including a high one from Miami if LBJ and Bosh leave... :o

FlightNumber23 wrote:The news that just came out from CLE radio is that Emmitt Golden(host of a talk show) said he has a friend on the inside on the organization that said Lebron in the past week has contacted one of the Cavs players and told them "Get ready and be prepared."

He said that he wouldnt divulge the name of the Cavs player Lebron had contacted, but he did say that 1) it was not Tristan Thompson(he and lebron are good friends) and 2) the cavs player had a bobblehead night last season.

Emmitt Golden is not the guy who breaks news really ever, so when he does something like this it makes me tend to listen veryyy close. Also they also just said on air that Rich Paul called the Cavs organization and told them to clear cap space. Im not trolling, Im just listening and relaying the hush hush news that is breaking here in CLE today to keep everybody in the loop.

Who do you think Lebron called? and do you want to read into "Get ready and be prepared"


If it doesnt come from Carl2680 then its not reliable.

LeBron is scheduled to go to Brazil to watch World Cup finals this weekend. I don't think LeBron will make a decision until next week. This is going to continue to drag till next week

I swear somebody needs to talk to him and Melo about this. I never seen a FA period like this ever and there is alot of teams in holding patterns and many players that looking for a new job is waiting on these guys to sign with somebody. It does not take eight days or more to decide where you are going to go. Melo, Bosh, Lebron or anybody just make a move for all of our sakes, please?

I know how you guys feel. It is getting annoying. LeBron is a very powerful guy. He knows he can control free agency. He can wait until August to make a decision if he wants. He is in no rush to make a decision. I really can't see him making a decision before his trip to Brazil. Next week is very likely. I won't be surprised if we have to wait 2 more weeks
