How the Heat fans feeling? :lol:

We feel a little down in the dumps. But most of us are too busy in the free agency thread. The free agency rush is such a good feeling. :oops:

Still a little sad about LeBron. But it is what it is.

Good thing your opinion doesn't matter.

I was happy to see this, and I like that it really opens up the Eastern Conference race for next season too. Great for Lebron, great for the NBA!

I remember when Cleveland was a disaster in every sense of the word last season. Now that Lebron is back they're a young up and coming team and Lebron is a coward/quitter again for leaving after losing in the Finals. I also remember when people were saying the only team Lebron could leave Miami for without receiving backlash was Cleveland. Well, some people will always find something to hate on him for.

Definitely the most interesting NBA narrative since Jordan's return in '95.

It means alot to see the real Heat fans being classy about it.

Although, it is refreshing to see the bandwagoners extracted from your organization.

I think you guys will find at least on this website, there weren't all that many bandwagoners to begin with. Where you'll really notice it is in real life, those guys around the water cooler who don't know what they're talking about and say they're a fan of LeBron.

The Heat fanbase on here has always been about the same, around the 9th or 10th most active team board, even after LeBron came (most of the new activity initially was trolls).

I was kind of disappointed in him going back to Cleveland at first but this is good for the NBA.

disenfranchised wrote:He quit on Cleveland to chase titles in his prime. Now that the Cavs have stockpiled talent, he quits on the Heat to chase titles in his prime. 2 rings with a super team after promising 7-8 is a complete failure. The whole super team thing was a failure and the Spurs absolutely destroyed them and made Lebron quit.

This beta will NEVER enter my top 10.

Kobe and Duncan :clap:


So Lebron isn't in the Top 10 now? :lol:

Good to see Lebron come home to help out the Cleveland and the area economically.

Lebron made the best decision this time and at least he will be able to play infront of passionate fans who show up on time again. That place used to rock during his time there.

Lebron will go down as one of the greats, but he'll also go down as having the most unusual career of all time.

I'm shocked! I thought for sure that he was just leading Cleveland on! Good thing I didn't bet any money on him staying with Miami.

I think this will be good for the NBA though. It shakes things up a lot.

More unusual than Shaq, the greatest journeyman of all time?
