LeBron-Howard: Not fair for the rest of the league. But it'll be the most exciting team ever.
LeBron-Warriors: Triple double LeBron. I can't think of a better team that fits LeBron's game.
LeBron-Wade: Interesting experiment. They'll have to bring their own balls to every game.
Cleveland is his home, I hope he'll stay at his home and sure I hope Cavs will do some great-great-great moves to keep him here.

even with a passive GM such as Ferry, who rarely trades, you'll get at least three great chances to build around Lebron...the first one didn't work as planned, the second one is coming over the next couple off seasons with expiring contracts or cap space and the last one will happen either in cleveland or somewhere else down the line...

Of course money talks....
but LeBron is very devoted to his family and friends in Akron and Cleveland, and likes being close to them. I think it would take a helluva lot to get him away from that. And in the end, I think for a comparable, maybe even slightly lesser amount he would stay with the Cavs.
The one exception is if the Cavs don't make the moves needed to improve. I think like all great players he wants a ring--but I think he'll do everything possible to see that it happens in Cleveland before he would consider moving.
I admire this young man. So many players his age have no self discipline. James seems to have his head screwed on straight, remembers where he came from, and in general has handled the spotlight and the big bucks with a maturity beyond his years.

I think Cleveland needs to make it back to the finals at least before he hits free agency. I don't see it happening with their roster right now. From all that I've read and heard Lebron has made it clear he wants to be a true superstar as in multiple rings and the face of the sport, in a Jordanesque way. I think he wants it to happen in Cleveland but he won't hesitate to leave if he thinks it can't.

Other than your wishful thinking, because you are a laker fan, why do you think he wouldn't? You think Cleveland or NY would offer a better chance to compete for a championship?
Well April Fools...

So even though he wasn't spoiled as a child he clearly is a spoiled child.....makes sense i guess....
Financially he wasn't spoilt as a child, but he's been hailed as the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ from a young age. LeBron himself was doing plenty of the hailing but socially from a young age he would have been worshipped by his peers. That does more to the mind than being spoilt financially.

I assume you're an expert in psychology and you spent at least five years close to LeBron...

Cleveland will trade some of their $30 million in expiring contracts next year for a a very good NBA player, as is status quo in this league. Look for a deal like expirings and draft picks for Michael Redd and a few bad contracts from Milwaukee. That gives Cleveland one of the best teams in the NBA.
