Default Lebron James Predictions

I am going to go out on a limb here. At first I thought that he was going to stay in Cleveland and I still think that there is a chance that he might stay. The more I think about it though, the more the Knicks make sense. I know that there is a lot of handwriting on the wall that says Miami at this point but I can't imagine him doing that. To me, that would be an extremely weak move for the best player in the world.

New Orleans doesnt have the money to pay Chris Paul. The knicks have money and expiring contracts. Couldnt they package up expiring contracts along with picks? And if not for Paul, couldnt they get Arenas or any number of other second tier players? Wouldnt guys play for less to be on THAT team in new york in THAT system? And if not in New york, couldn't they do that in Cleveland?

I say New York or Cleveland but New York would be my choice as to where he goes.

At this point, I would say the chances of him going back to Clevland are about 7%.... Miama 60% and the Knicks 33%... Knicks have a longshot chance here, because him and Amare can compete with Wade and Bosh, especially if they make this trade with GS, get some young talent and maybe Mike Miller???

You know, Joe, I don't disagree with you but I just have this weird hunch that the miami thing is all smoke. I am okay with being wrong about that but I just can't see him selling out like that.

Mike Miller is pretty overrated to me. I guess for what they would want him to do he would be fine but he is not what I would want in a gunner.

I think the Knicks would be better than Miami with Lebron with or without any other trades. Lebron/amare vs. wade/bosh? Give me lebron/amare any time.

The Nets is the perfect organization for him. You have a guy with endless pockets and a rap star as minority owner. LeBron can do songs with Jay about how great they are.

Plus they are moving to Brooklyn in two years.

Well that's plenty of time for the 2012 opener.

It will come down to some scumbag politician wanting his palm greased to stop it. Because Dolph Lundgren has the money to build it.

If our friendship is to grow, you need to stop hating Lebron. Ok?

What a copout. He just admitted he can't carry a team to a championship. I hope the Heat lose in the first round of the playoffs.

The fact that ESPN just spent 48 hours of almost complete coverage on the new Grant Hill is just ridiculous.

I'm just curious to see who the role players are for this team. I'd think they're going to run out of cap space soon, no? It's the NBA, so this is somewhere below when Walter Ray Williams Jr. will bowl his next perfect game and the NCAA swimming championships in my own personal pantheon of sports interests, but one would have to think the Heat would be up against it in the near future. Lots of D League talent coming to a starting lineup near you.
