that's really the only way I could see it going down. Not sure if they'd take Deng without Noah, but a Deng, Cha 1st, Taj, and maybe our 1st wouldn't be a bad option compared to losing a guy for nothing.

Talking about getting Bosh + Lebron is going overboard. I don't think the Cavs will do a sign + trade for the simple fact that they don't want to "trade" lebron, if he's leaving cleveland it will be as him leaving as a free agent.


What makes you think Lebron and Hinrich are good friends? They are not good friends.

I don't remember reading about Bron/Hinrich being good friends but I don't remember reading or hearing about Bron/Hinrich are enemies :wink: :P

I believe Bron/Deng are friends I think I remember hearing from somewhere someone stated that but I might be hearing wrong. I know Gibson/Bron are friends I knew that one.

Deng isnt friends with Lebron anymore then Hinrich is. If anything id guess that aside from Taj, Rose is closest with LBJ

In the space of five minutes I heard from three NBA GMs via text, e-mail and phone. All three said that based on the information they have, they believe LeBron will leave the Cavs.


The GM's have inside information that Lebron doesn't even know yet, and are sharing it with a reporter.

No, really!

I didn't know he was ever friends with Lebron?

then Hinrich is.


Then Hinrich is what?

Great. My guess is Lebron is looking for cash and a good team, he has friends. :)

LEIF wrote:I have a feeling if the Cavs are gonna lose Lebron James they wont agree to ANY sign and trade.

its going to be "you abandoned your hometown team" and that will be the only way to deflect the blame on Lebron instead of the franchise itself. and they still will get maligned for eternity......

also you mean to tell me Cleveland is going to trade Lebron IN DIVISION and then open up flexibility for them to build a DYNASTY with Wade-Lebron-Rose-Noah.

IN DIVISION?

really?????

but I think Chicago does as have as good a chance at landing Lebron outright as anyone.


Neither is a good choice. Getting nothing, zilch, nada for the best player in the world - not good.

Not to be outdone, Sam Smith's indirect response to Chad Ford's 3 GM story through Twitter:

"Just heard from 3 GM's who told me they don't know what LeBron will do. How amazingly stupid are reports already he is going to Bulls."

Kirk and LeBron are cool .. that's been known for a while. Goes back to being in the same draft class and Team USA.

But LeBron is friends with a lot of players so it's really not all that important. In fact, I'd venture to guess that the team with the highest concentration of "Friends of LeBron's" would be the Cavs ... so that doesn't really help us out too much, eh?

"Loyalty is something that hurts you at times because you can't get youth back. I can honestly say that if I can go back and do my situation over, knowing what I know now with this organization, I'd of done it a little sooner.

Man, this is going to be a loooong 6 weeks. Its going to be filled with twists and turns. Hopefully we can make it all the way through without having any sort of heart attack.

I don't want to start a new thread but I really think the whole MJ legacy thing being a negative factor is overrated.

In fact I think it may be a positive. Who wouldn't want to play in the same place your favorite player played?
