LeBron to up Pizza Restaurants in South Florida.

eBron James has reportedly joined forces with a group of investors to open multiple pizza restaurants in South Florida.

The NBA star and a team of investors plan to open 10 Blaze Pizza restaurants, with the first two opening in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton in the fall, according to the Sun Sentinel.

The California-based chain allows costumers to build their own pizzas or choose from their signature personal-sized pies, for roughly $8.

Even if he ends up playing for a different team next season, James will be leaving South Florida with plenty of personalized pizza.

Who won’t love that?

Melo is to committ very soon to the Heat also per WOJ

Bosh and Wade are back on board










Would that be worth all the waiting?


I got faith we get Lebron back but man the trolls are making it nerve wrecking..lol

So you make a troll post and then complain about trolling

nobody going to that pizza joint, or the juice place if he leaves

Lebron made it seem like he would stay in CLE and then he waits until basically the last minute to inform the world that he's going to leave as the Cavs are left with nothing in return. He **** on Cleveland on national television, a city which up to that point had given him nothing but praise and love. He talked about loyalty and stopping at nothing to bring us a championship but instead opted to take the easier road to championships by teaming up with 2 of the best players in the league. And then the very next day, he puts on a whole parade at the welcome party celebrating as if he's already won a championship.

Dan Gilbert's letter was necessary at the time and Cleveland (as well as many other fan bases) rallied around him. It's easy to forget what Lebron did and point the finger at Gilbert now but IMO both of them screwed up.

Nevertheless, I put aside any hatred for Lebron long ago and I want him back. And I truly believe he's coming back to the Cavs. There's just too many signs pointing to his return.

(Cue Coming Home by Diddy)

Sorry, you weren't owed anything. He didn't do anything different last time that he hasn't done this time except a tv show. In fact he's taking longer now. Should the heat org write a letter for hindering our chances at another FA? Please!

Also, seriously you think that Lebron put on that pep rally? that was a Heat thing. He just showed up. We did the same for Shaq in 2004 I don't recall Laker fans whining about it.

There's a difference between taking a long time to decide and going on national tv, making a huge deal out of his decision, to publicly inform the world that he's leaving Cleveland before even informing anybody in the Cavs organization. He basically held his middle finger up to the city and said, "I'm off to bigger and better things." Obviously you wouldn't understand because you don't live in Cleveland but it was devastating at the time. It wasn't the fact that he left but the way he did it.

And Shaq didn't proclaim, "Not one, not two, not three..."

He didn't hold up middle fingers or say those things. What is the problem with you guys putting words in Lebron's mouth to justify your irrationality? Reminds me of how people flipped out when he said people have to go back to their lives. All the haters took it as hi saying he was better than them when that is not what he said. If you have self esteem issues then it colors your world view.

As for that not 1, not 2 etc. as much as haters want to say its a prediction it wasn't. He was talking about his goals and being in contention every year not guaranteeing rings. Just listen to the question and his full response. Shaq on the other hand DID guarantee a ring and no one ever mentions it LOL

never listened to Joy Taylor before, I like her

Google image her.

First thing I did, it ain't just the voice that's nice.

Sonny Carson has it right. This is a battle between the teams.

Gilbert on behalf of Cavs tells his mouthpiece to leak : LEBRON NOT HAPPY WITH RILEY PRESSER

In response, Pat says OK. Gets media to leak : LEBRON NOT HAPPY WITH THE LETTER

Yeah I buy that. Good catch.

Hey guys, i got some sauces for yall. Chris Quinn is in Miami. He just came back from Hollywood, he was playing as Link from Legend of Zelda. Now he wants to play back in the NBA, since Lebron is still undecided. Chris Quinn will get the max deal. I'm not troll, i been a Heat fan since i was in my mom's (y)

What's The latest on Malik Allen?

Reitred. That guy sucked.

A.

the best thing that can happen is lebron staying here and saying he wanted to return him but gilbert. turn the cle fans on gilbert. lmao

B.

Nah. The Best thing that could happen is LeBron gets Dan Gilbert to publicly apologize and retract his offensive letter, and then he still picks Miami and says thanks.

Why not all the above? lol

what? i didnt say that in the first thing you quoted me

Fixed

Had a crazy dream last night that LeBron went to Houston.

[Temuhjan]

Seriously, who goes back to an employer who writes a letter like this unless you are really really desperate for work? The letter should absolutely hold LeBron back from working for this guy again.

Hmm.. a masochist perhaps?

So it's another day, here we are again. Did someone bring the lawn chairs this time, or did the Cavs fans steal all of them to sit outside Bron's crib?

[KingDavid]

Today it's Lebron hasn't signed with the Cavs over the 4 year old letter ... yesterday it was Lebron is going back to Cleveland because he took offense at Riley's end of season press conference.

You people understand that all these reports are BS, right?

You're not really seeing the big picture.

Whoever orchestrated all of this needs to be a politician. Straight the **** up. If LBJ goes back, he has hell to pay as to why he can forgive Gilbert but not Sterling. I was fascinated at the death grip he has on basketball. Now I'm just bamboozled at the power play here. Someone put a LOT of pressure on LBJ's shoulders. He holds all the cards but they're all double edged swords....except continuing here.

I tried posting a thread about this on the Knicks board, but the mods over there deleted it for not PMing a mod to verify my source first (which is ironic considering new posters are not allowed to send PMs in the first place):

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1333859

Anyway, hopefully this board is more receptive to the info.

This entire free agency hold-up is due to LBJ and Wade wanting to team up with Melo in MIA. They are waiting out Bosh to sign his HOU offer sheet. They will act like they never wanted Bosh to leave, and that acquiring Melo was a happy coincidence kind of fall-back plan. This is why Melo still hasn't signed with NYK despite having a 5/129 super-max on the table. Bosh is stalling to try and cockblock Melo from forcing him out, but time is not on his side as he needs to sign HOU's offer before the deadline for HOU to match DAL's offer sheet for Parsons (within the next 3 days). Ultimately, Bosh will have to decide between HOU's max offer, or taking somewhere in the $16mm/per neighborhood to play in MIA (where he's fully aware that both LBJ and Wade want him replaced by Melo).

Not trying to troll or stir up trouble, just some insight into what's going on behind the scenes. Hopefully you guys will be more receptive to it than the Knicks board.
