Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
I hate the Cavs, but not because I'm scared of Lebron. he's never done anything in Cleveland. I was more worried of him going back to Miami.

No not really any more than any other team in the east. Please don't talk about divisions. They mean almost nothing.

Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
I dont (HATE) the cavs,but I do think its bull how they have been handed everything they could want on a silver platter and mannage to **** it up.I honestly dont think james went back for any noble reasons,I think he was pissed miami lost and wade was still more popular there then him and he wanted to to be the BIG news this summer,and wanted people to look at him like hes going to be the saviour of cleveland.
Its also disgusting how cavs fans are on his nuts now,but when he left them they hated him and talked nothing but ****.

Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
Moves like this make me really glad that we have Munro, Drummind, and Smith. As well as a good coach.
The only way your going to beat Lebron Irving wiggins Bennett is at the 4/5 position. these next five years are a good time to have 45 million invested in power forwards/centers.
It's going to be between Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland if any teams from the east win a championship in the next 10 years.

You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!

2 yr deal in Cleveland. He might be in LA by the time we make the playoffs.

Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
I like Lebron, I like Blatt, but I hate the rest of their organization and the state of Ohio. I'm really conflicted.

Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
I lost a ton of respect for LeBron when he crawled back to a franchise and fan base that trashed him so badly.

1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years

I wonder how he would have lost your respect if he had signed anywhere else.

I'm sure you'd have had another reason to not like any other decision he might have made, too.

Why are you sure of that? Are you familiar with my posting history re: LeBron? I'm anything but a hater, if that's what you're assuming.
So you know, I understood his leaving Cleveland after the management did such a dreadful job building a team around him. He was unfairly labeled a villain and the Gilbert/fan reaction was disgraceful. From the "taking my talents to South Beach" comment forward, people just looked to find fault with about anything he said. I've always advocated people keep an open mind to him becoming the GOAT, should his accomplishments warrant it.
I don't like him returning to Cleveland because of the way Gilbert and the fan base trashed him. Not because I'm a hater.

That said, it has been funny to watch the flood of "good for Cleveland, they deserve it!" comments on Facebook from casual fans. Yes, poor Cleveland who tanked their way to #1 picks 3 of the last 4 seasons -- about time some good FINALLY came their way
hey now - Cavs were trying to win last year. They just went aboout it the wrong way with Mike Brown, Bynum and Bennett

I'm still liking that he chose to come home to do something for all the Ohio fans. I suspect there were many fans who didn't trash him, and Gilbert aside, I respect Lebron for wanting to do something for his home state. Too little of that these days.

Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
Happy for Lebron because he's a good dude but dont care for Cleveland.
That team with he, Love & Kyrie is going to be tough though, on paper SA is about the only team that looks better.

Re: Whos hating the Cavs right now?
A lot will depend on Rose. If he really is back to his old self then the Bulls, with Pau up front, look damn good. Unlike the Cavs they can play both sides of the ball.
