I agree that Bosh is overrated, but he's still significantly better than Jamison both offensively and defensively

then u guys are **** feel so sorry for u guys.first boozer ***not needed*** leaves then the heart of your team. Lebron wants to win a title and i dont see that cast would compete anymore. Bulls and Heat have surpassed them already. Wait maybe a sign and trade Lebron for Beasley its something and Beasley was the craziest scoring option in college like 26 and 12 wtf. Quite honestly where else would David Lee go does he wanna be another Joe Johnson to just show off his max skills. Guess he could go to the Clippers, Nets, but the Cavs are the team that need him

To me,
D-Wade and Bosh is pretty equal to LeBron and Jamison.

Jamison is perfectly capable of gets 20 Points and 9 Boards, playing about 36 minutes.

Then the Cavs sign Mike Miller to the MLE or Raja Bell to a deal. Or trade some some salary to Detroit for Richard Hamilton (who I believe would be a good fit).

If Lebron goes to Miami. It will not be pretty. You cannot have 3 superstars on the same team.


I think Bosh is better than Jamison, but the truth is that this move looks better on paper than in reality. I don't think Bosh is better than Kobe-Gasol-Odom-Artest and the Lakers have better depth. Are they better than Lewis_Howard-Carter-Nelson in Orlando? The Celtics who still are not done adjusting their roster? What about the young teams such as Portland and Oklahoma City? At best, I think you are looking at a middle of the road Heat team if everything goes according to plan.

Celts17Pride

This whole year has given me a new appreciation for Paul Pierce and the Celtics as a whole.

I hate to say it that Pierce has been a true fan's player. During his time with the Celtics his guy has been patience with the Celtics during lots of years that had no hope at all of winning. Now he's a winner and still has been willing to place other guys like KG ahead of himself. He's never been bigger than the team. Then during the playoffs the Celtics showed what true team play can do.

I still don't like Pierce and the Celtics but after Lebron's recent effort and this FA hostage sitiation I appreciate Pierce and the Celtics a lot more.

Lebron - learn what class is.

Oh I agree, Bosh is soft as charmin and I just love watching Varejao dunk on him while Bosh gets nothing near the basket. Good player but not someone you build around. That team is in dire need of some length, toughness and some outside shooting.

Couldn't agree more. I cannot believe Jamison put up a putrid 19/8 against Chicago, and then had the balls to show his face at the Boston series.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

I'm really pulling for you guys tonight. We lost our franchise player yesterday (Bosh) and it was pretty awful; and he isn't even close to being as good as Lebron on one leg. We fans here in Toronto pretty much knew Bosh was gone, but it still hits a bit hard. I can't imagine how you guys would feel if King James takes off.

You guys deserve better and I hope Karma plays a part tonight.

Cheers

C's fan here. I don't see Lebron leaving you CLE.

His image is horrible right now. Egomaniac, only cares about himself and his image, blah blah blah.

Lebron will choose Cleveland purely because it will save his reputation and foster his legacy.

When you seem like a douche, what better way to fix that than to be (or appear) loyal?

As a lifelong Magic fan, I know what it is like to lose a franchise player (a couple times actually) and don't think for one minute that the Magic are happy to have to contend with the Heat's three headed monster.

I think Orlando would rather take their chances with a James led Cavs team. :(

Guys,

I am an Orlando Magic fan and still remember what I did the day Shaq bolted town.

At the time, it was the biggest free agent loss in sports history and unfortunately, LeBron James bolting for Miami would top Shaq leaving Orlando back in 1996.

Given how bad Cleveland sports history has been, this would be a devastating blow to the town and the Cavaliers.

Shaq continues to have a house in Orlando after he left but I hope Cleveland fans do not even look at him when he returns home for the holidays or offseason. It is a shame that the hometown guy would put a knife in the city's back like this.

If anyone needs someone to talk too, feel free to PM me and I'll get back to you. I'm offering because LeBron does announce he's leaving tonight, I'll know what you guys will be going through as I lived the nightmare myself 14 years ago.

I'm hoping for the best guys.

I just want to say to all of the fans of other teams offering us support, it means a lot. It's been a really tough situation and most people are treating our city like crap for no reason. Thanks for showing some class.
