He really didn't leave any money on the table. Florida doesn't have state income tax.

I don't have a problem that he left, I have a problem with how he left. Bill Simmons had a reader write with a good analogy. Something along the lines of "You have a girlfriend that you've been with for a long time, and on the day she thinks you're going to propose, you dump her on the jumbotron at the Superbowl". Lebron made this needlessly hurtful to Cleveland with that special, and he's basically admitted that he can't be the guy on a championship team.

Jordan had Pippen sure, but can you imagine him signing with the Blazers so he could be with Clyde Drexler? Or the Celtics so he could pair with Larry Bird? Great players should want to beat other great players. Like I said, that's forgivable and if he doesn't want to be "the guy" that's his prerogative. What's unforgivable was the callous way he ditched the area he's spent his entire life in.

He made a public spectacle out of leaving a team that gave him a TON of support and an owner who did everything to accommodate him. Made a new practice facility to make it a 20-minute shorter drive, hired a masseuse to follow him on the road, brought in good players. He betrayed a city that did everything for him.

He acted like he was a great spectacle, and went on ESPN to announce that he's "bringing his talent to South Beach". He just spit on Cleveland's face without even thanking them. At least we have a great nickname for LeBron, Bosh, and Wade: The 3 My-Ego's.

Incidentally, the Heat are apparently looking very closely into signing Derek Fisher.

Yeah, with the signing of Steve Blake it looks like Fish is going to leave the Lakers. If that happens, Derek Fisher is going to have himself quite a ring collection. He already has 5 rings and will just add to that total if not next year, then in the next 5 year the Superfriends are in Miami.

I have to agree, the only thing I didnt like about Lebron leaving was how he left. It was a stupid decision but I have to attribute that more to stupid people around Lebron James than Lebron himself.

I believe ESPN said they came to Lebron Jame's entourage with the idea, so it was ESPN's idea, not Lebron's.

i dont like how he spit in the cavs face. im not surprise that he went to Miami. its pretty enticing to play with 3 mega stars

It's really big up here. There are all these signs, they are taking down pictures of him, its so lolz. People take this dumb sport too seriously.

Lebron spit in the face of his fans in Ohio. I am going to very strongly dislike him, and I'm going to hope one of the big three get injured, just b/c it would ruin their season. I know that's horrible though. Was Dan Gilbert's letter pretty crazy? Yes, it was, but it resonated with Cavs fans. If we do pull off that promise, I will be soooo happy, but if we don't I won't be shocked.

I think Chris Bosh did all he could in Toronto, and any Raptors fans who hold his departure against him are not thinking very hard. He gave T.O. a chance, did his best and left on good terms.

Lebron, though?

I'm going to go with the consensus above me.

Also, I can't stand basketball. It has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with the players, whose egos have managed to turn me off an entire sport.

Lebron's heading south, but his mother is riding West.

Also, Michael Beasly Sr. recently tweeted that Lebron James got Beasely traded due to the fact that he looks like Delonte West. hahaha

LeBenedict is full of himself, and I'm glad he's out of Cleveland. He's worse than Loozer

Speaking of Delonte:

When I saw that picture I literally rolled on the floor and laughed. I wonder if they shop in the same stores too.

So from what I am hearing, how do you guys think it would be okay for Lebron James to leave? That show was a pretty bad idea but thats the only thing I believe Lebron James did wrong.
