The LeBron Thread

[Loop]

Loop is making himself look like an idiot. just stop man.

I know I am. I'm arguing with people who just don't get it.

We start with the second round of the NBA Playoffs, Boston Vs Cleveland. The King is complaining of severe elbow pain. O'really? If you rewind the tape, Lebron never grimaced or touched his elbow when he was racking up his stats. Lebron even stuck his own foot in his mouth in an interview; He explained to the reporter that his own children had no idea their daddy was even hurt because he was still picking them up and playing with them. O'REALLY?? The world didn't see someone with severe pain in his arm, the world saw someone who could drain treys, grab triple doubles but refused to take over the game when it was warranted. What the world saw was a man conflicted between being a professional basketball player and someone who seemed to have obligations elsewhere. Lebron James quit on his team because a loss in the second round would be the only way he could get a pass for leaving Cleveland.

We fast forward to Lebron's last game as a Cleveland Cavalier. It was the day after Game 6 when we first heard the rumblings of Lebron to Chicago. Every New Yorker's immediate reaction was "WTF" - "GTFO" - "BS". We were all baffled of how this crazy Chicago talk actually caught fire after years of Cleveland and New York only being in the discussion. All of a sudden every analyst and their mother had inside information on Lebron wanting to play for Chicago, this alone put up a huge flag for me. (but I admit I was discouraged by the news) But wait, after years of Lebron keeping things top secret, everyone was informed of Lebron's decision? Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what we call a smoke screen! It was reported that Lebron's "Team" met together in a closed meeting immediately after Cleveland lost game 6...REALLY? I can't see why Lebron's Team of Lawyers and financial overseers would conduct a closed meeting for the sole purpose to console the King in that moment. Your business associated should not receive carte blanche over your teammates family and loved ones. This entire situation has been nothing more than a well planned, thought out and executed performance. All of this talk about winning comes first is just showmanship, feeding the politically correct answer to the public. Lebron and his "Team" have been waiting for this moment ever since Lebron signed his three year deal with Cleveland. I ask you, what has Lebron been doing while playing for Cleveland and keeping hush hush on 2010: Well the real question should be what has his business endeavors been doing? I'll tell you, they've been saying buy the new Lebron's (New York) Big Apple editions and follow the Orange and Blue bird in our Nike Air Lebron Commercials. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall seeing any Nike Air Lebron Windy City Editions.

So this brings us back to the original question, whats up with all of this Lebron to Chicago talk and if its a smoke screen, why? I could not of answered this question until tonight. Tonight, news broke of Forbes Magazine predicting Lebron will sign with the Knicks to make a huge profit. This was the piece of the puzzle that eluded us all.

This quote from KnicksGod explains it all

I feel like this can not be legal under the CBA

I don't know if they can stop a guy from buying stock in a publicly traded company.

If not, it wouldn't surprise me if the Knicks went public for this reason alone.

I thought the re-organization a while back was very coincidental.

This was the big secret Donnie Walsh kept saying he had up his sleeve. All along Donnie kept saying we have something that we can use to our advantage. We all thought he was speaking of some sort of trade agreement, but Donnie was referring to something much more appealing. He knew this loop hole would be the biggest factor in enticing the King.

Lebron sent the Chicago smoke screen to divert attention from New York. This plan was conceived by him and his team so they could escape the media claiming how much of a tragedy this would be for the league. Can you imagine the hate ESPN will spew now that they will realize tomorrow morning New York has even more of a financial advantage to offer Lebron?

I have to admit Lebron James and World Wide Wes & Co are some deviously smart individuals, but ITGM has officially cracked the Lebron Code!




Ladies and Gentlemen Lebron James will Officially become a New York Knick on July 8th 2010!

So Bosh wants to play with Lebron so badly he tags along with him to NY but he wouldn't demand Toronto trades him to Chicago and get some value back to play with Lebron, Rose and Noah?

You know Bosh wants a sign and trade done. What are you guys giving up again?

We could give up just two picks and NOT force the Raptors to take back cap-killing contracts like Hinrich and Deng. Which would you prefer:

Two picks and no salary.

Or two picks and two terrible salaries.

Check mate.

is any1 really buying the stocks theory?

THANK YOU!! The Raptors DO NOT WANT YOUR TRASH!!! We might as well send them Eddy Curry and Wilson Chandler. They would rather let Bosh walk for free then take back long expensive contracts.

[EnigmatiC]

haha another troll, what does that have to do with the delusions of grandeur your fan base has??

[Striders]

I've heard that one before. Deng and his $60M and mediocre play. Someone is going to leap at that contract.

Well you remember when Bulls fans thought they were gonna trade Deng for Kobe a few years back

Do you remember the last time the Knicks made the playoffs? I dont.

Why do Bulls trolls wear their first round exits like a badge of honor?

That's probably because in 2004 you were still playing with barbie dolls and retracing Care Bears characters.

Hardly.

Bulls could trade Hinrich (only two years left) and Noah if it came down to it.

Woops.

Alright. I think I made my point. We're now speculating on a far fetched scenario on a far fetched scenario. I'm done with this particular path.

Noah and Hinrich doesn't get you close to the cap room you need for Bosh.

no actually the only point you proved is that you have no idea what you are talking about

[Loop]

Woops.

Yes it does. Especially if we include the pick and James Johnson.

The Bulls can get Bosh and Lebron without trouble if they love each other that much. You really have no chance at them.

New Lebron article

" LeBron James has not called for Mike Brown to be fired and is leaving it up to organization, according to sources.

People within the organization are fighting for Brown to keep his job as head coach of the Cavaliers."

Notice how, he's not making any decisions in regards to the coach? He knows he's leaving, why make a coaching change, when he wont be there next season.

all this Lebron to Bulls stuff, is cute, but I dont really think yall believe it. You dont have a gut feeling he"ll be a bull, I just dont believe yall, seriously. I think yall are doing it, more so, just because you dont want Lebron in NY, which is very understandable but you guys dont really believe this Lebron-Bulls nonsense do ya?

do you actually understand what you write??? We have no shot at them but we have enough salary cap to sign both of them outright, while your only option to get both of them is to hope and pray Toronto accepts your package of mediocre players with large contracts.

This could be a real sign of him leaving. Why would he not care about the coach if he wants to stay?

LOL at people in cavs organization wanting Brown to keep his job

Hey guys I'm a Mavs fan, and I don't think Lebron is coming to Dallas. I was just wondering why would Lebron sign with the Knicks? I wanted to hear some of the reasoning from the Knicks fan on why Lebron would sign with you guys. My guess is that you guys have to sign Bosh along with him, that would be a good fit, but who else would compliment them? I don't know, i just wanted to get yalls opinion.

First they say, "cause he can win titles w/Bosh in the media capital of the world.'

Then you say, "you don't have Bosh yet, how can you get him?"

Then they say, "uh, who wouldn't want to be a knick?"

Apparently signing on to a winning situation takes a back seat to the glitz that is NY. Read Broussard's latest piece "Lebron doesn't need you NY" for a bit more reality on the situation.

I don't think NY gets either Bosh or Lebron to come in by themselves. They will have to communicate to each other to sign on at the same time. I doubt Lebron thinks that much of Bosh and NY to do that.

It's Cleveland or less likely Chicago.

do me a favor and never refer to broussard again. the guy doesnt know anything. he was trashing ny and the garden but lebron was the one to say this is the greatest city in the world and he called it the mecca of basketball. and im going to take lebrons opinion over broussard. its always been cle or ny the bulls came out of nowhere. it looks like hes leaving cle so that leaves ny. and with lebron comes bosh. you can trash us now but this time next year were going to be the best team in the league and if you dont believe me compare lebron to kobe, bosh to gasol, and gallo to odom

Yes I had the same thought. He's basically saying "You can do what you want." Not a good sign for the Cavs.
