Cavs Presentation...

[Skip2MY]

So what do you honestly think the presentation will have...

I kinda feel like this will be more successful because the Cavs to me have been flying under the radar. I think they have had an idea of what they are going to do since the draft and used the rest of the time to find a coach and find a gm.

I think that Ferry or who ever is running the show the last couple weeks will have a list of trade scenarios teams are willing to do with the cavs that may help Lebron but this is where he will get to pick and choose if willing to stay. I think that most of the trade rumors were right but they were gathered to present to Lebron and work out different scenarios to change the team.

Byron Scott will probably talk basketball philosophy and then present him with this list. I really dont think it gets Lebron to sign right then and there unless Bosh and/or Chris Paul is at the top of that list. Cavs are one of the few teams that can take back Turk and/or Calderon but likely the only team to take both. Cavs are likely the only that can and are willing to take back Posey and Okafor. Most teams that can give that cap relief are trying to get 2 max players and these options are way down their list.

I believe a couple other scenarios are definately still on the list:
Igudola (likely a Igudola + Brand, Iggy + Nocioni, Iggy + Lou Williams)
Rip Hamilton (possibly Rip + Prince, Rip and Charlie Villanueva)
Tyson Chandler (Tyson Chandler+ Bois Diaw)
Gilbert Arena (I know Gilbert but the option has to be explored...anything that Lebron may want)
Jason Terry
Al Jefferson
Andre Miller( Rudy Fernanday, Jerryd Bayliss)
Paul Millsap (possibly Mehmet to free up cap to sign Boozer)
Monte Ellis (likely have to take back Biedrins)
Beno Udrih
Leandroh Barbosa

I just think there are somethings that Cavs can do for teams that other teams cant, or not willing.

After the pitch, then they may start pulling on the heart strings but I think Lebron is smarter than that. He is trying to just think with his head. But this is how I see the pitch going...with Byron Scott trying to convince Chris Paul to force a trade to the Cavs.

No offense, but the lesser options that you have listed are not appealing.

"Ferry or whoever is running the show the last couple weeks" ?

Dan Gilbert runs the show. Ya didn't even mention him. He'll do what he's best at- talking business. He'll refute the Knicks' bullsht math and counter what other teams are promising by reminding LeBron what he has literally built around him. Lets not forget how savy this man is. A self made millionaire who knows how to make deals.

I know reports fly every day on what may tip the scale on LeBron's decision, but one recent one had placed importance on teams' ownership group. I think many are underestimating Gilbert. He did not buy this franchise and splurge on everything from payroll to facillities just to lose LeBron and watch his investment go down the crapper. This will be Gilbert's highest risk 'sell job', and he'll be coming out swinging.

Really is a touching video. Something like that has to make it hard for him to leave.

Im sure they opened up with the Family Guy episode they made for him to start off with some humor.

Very impressive showing today by the fellas in charge. Knowing how much LeBron loves the area you know that had to pull on his heart strings.

Hm..nice video --a bit depressing though

It's not, and I doubt it will go public. If it did make fun of other organizations like people have said, I can't imagine it would be good PR for it to get out.
