Ferry stepping down

[willbcocks]

Larry Brown? Brown and Lebron are the two biggest drama queens in the NBA. Can you imagine the two of them, plus Shaq, in the same locker room? The media would come out the big winners in that scenario.

[TheOUTLAW]

LeBron is not actually a drama queen at all. That's you guys who have been hanging on everything that he says or does that are actually the problem.

Cant agree with that Outlaw. Lebron is a diva. He adores being adored. But I dont think he cares for Larry Brown at all. He torched Detroit after Brown was hired after the 04 olympics and I seem to remember him staring down the Detroit bench more than once while doing so.
It wasnt at the players then, it was directed at Brown. I can understand that, since Brown sat Lebron, and let Richard Jefferson of all people shoot that team into the Bronze medal. Larry Brown might be the only person affiliated with the NBA outside of some of the refs that has a larger ego than Lebron. It would not work with the two of them here imo.
In fact Lebron wont even consider re-signing with the Cavs if Larry Brown is to become the coach here.

[TheOUTLAW]

I don't doubt that LeBron held some animus towards Brown at all. He did afterall glue Lebron and Carmelo to the bench during those Olympics and the team only won the broze. That would bother quite a few players. That being said, I don't think that LeBron is a drama queen because I don't think he creates drama. I don't doubt that people will see that differently

I actually think Ferry has done a pretty good job of assembling talent around LeBron. Curious that this would happen now.

I fail to see how LeBron is a drama queen.. Not once have I seen him commence a fight or argument of any sort with any other players, coaches, or anyone in management of a team. A confrontation is a different story, but that doesn't happen very often with LeBron.

In addition, if LeBron doesn't want Larry Brown as a coach, then the Cavs won't get him.

Lebron not a drama queen? Are you somehow missing the drama he has intentionally created, and has been basking in, over free agency?

Drama queen, diva, whatever you want to call it, Lebron loves the attention, just like Brown. Remember when brown was speculating on his next move on the eve of the pistons winning the championship? Like peas in a pod, those two. A small, uncomfortable pod if they're both in it.

I prefer to describe LeBron as a self-absorbed douchebag, but drama queen fits as well.

Attention whore and drama queen are two completely different things.

Sorry I'm a Cavs fan but theres no denying that hes both. He shot with his left hand to cause drama. Hes done this whole free agency bull **** for years to cause drama. He stormed off the court after losing to orlando to cause drama. Hes a good player but a tool in my opinion and im starting to get sick of his bull ****. I want him on my team because I want to watch him play but Im starting to get tired of his bull **** antics.

I understand the frustration, but logically, why would LeBron purposely shoot with his left hand just to cause drama? It's irrational that someone would do that down the stretch in a close out game, when it was still tight. I am sure that his elbow was truly in pain.

The free agency stuff, there is no denying that other players have done the same thing. Bosh, Wade, Amare, etc. We still have no idea where they are going, or where they want to go for that matter. The fact is the media makes this free agency stuff more of a big deal than it really is, mainly because they are the big names, especially LeBron.

Additionally, I would say that LeBron is somewhat of a sore loser for storming off the court after losing to Orlando... But honestly, what other players don't do that in any professional sport? Just an example, it isn't like Kobe shook hands with the Suns' players when the Lakers lost to them in consecutive years. (Not trying to stir up any LeBron and Kobe arguments.)

Hopefully, this will all be over by July 1st.

every move that cleveland makes puts the idea of lj leaving to rest. you know cleveland is making moves with lj's blessing,,therefore it just solidifies his stay at cleveland.

No. The only moves that will solidify his stay in Cleveland are:

1) Signing a big name coach. Izzo, Jackson, Cal, etc aren't going to commit without confirmation from LeBron that he is staying.

and/or

2) A trade for a superstar. The appeal of NY (and even Miami) stems from the opportunity to play with another superstar, if he can do that here he has no reason to leave.

i was just now going to edit that in too.
getting a big time coach would probably require a package that says "you get to coach a solid top team with lebron,,,not a middling team without him". however i don't think lebron will turn his back on a team that has done it's very best to appease him, especially when that team is close to his heart. he's looking for any excuse to stay.
