  I'm not buying this. Teams are still "gaining ground".......dude has called a presser to announce his decision and he hasnt made up his mind yet? I dont think teams are gaining or losing ground at this point. Lebron knows where hes going to go imo. I just hope that its the Cavs
• KR1245

  

  BTW: Broussard just announced that Bosh was going to Miami with Wade

  this is laughable. i can't beleive how enthralled in this shit i am.

  Official with team that made a formal presentation to LeBron James tells Y! Sports: "It's down to Cleveland or Miami for him.
• jpake1

  

  ^ Just like I also thought it would be. It's Cleveland if winning isn't number one, but Miami if winning is.
• j_crazy

  

  didn't baron davis and elton brand have an agreement similar to dwade and bo$h to play in LA?
  
  I really hope this backfires on bo$h and wade leaves for chicago, leaving bo$h and a band of misfits to flounder in south beach. I don't count on it though.

  Why the dollar signs haha? If it were about the money he'd be in Cleveland on the sign and trade. Going to Miami proves it isn't about the money. Nice try though

  I disagree with this. Miami will obviously be a much improved team, there is no doubt about it. You cant look past what the Cavs have done over the past couple years though. They have done everything that they could to make the team better around him. It sucks that those trades havent worked out but the Cavs but they have tried........people can say what they want but I really think that matters.
• j_crazy

  

  i think the cavs have tried to hard to make james happy, and not make the cavs better. given the choice between a guy LBJ loves and wants to play with but who doesn't make them better vs a guy that LBJ is okay with, but makes the team a lot better, they have always gone option A and now it's biting them big time. especially since LBJ is wanting to win and seemingly is re-considering all the moves he green-lighted over the past 2-3 years.

  I guess if it means we keep LeBron I'd be ok with it, although it'd be interesting to see how the fans react.
• KR1245

  

  ^^^^ugh.....I guess if it helps us keep Lebron
• thedynasty1998

  

  Lebron has already made up his mind if he's scheduled the announcement. They are just wasting their time then.
• KR1245

  

  I agree that he has made his decision. Either way the Cavs need to make some upgrades this offseason. I would be ok with Boozer
• j_crazy

  

  why would you be okay with boozer if lebron is gone?
  
  if it keeps lebron, i'm all for it, but if lebron is gone (or if he's staying either way) why would you want to pay big money to a guy who pulled the wool over this city's eyes once? not to mention he plays a position where the cavs have tons of money and talent tied up at already (AV, Hickson, Jamison, Williams, Powe).
  
  just curious, because it baffles me.
• KR1245

  

  Scott and assistant coaches just arrived at Lebrons camp.......just a fyi

  No way you do this without Lebron signing. I still would rather have Al Jefferson and take a run at Mike Miller instead of pissing with Boozer.

  I didnt say I would be ok with it. I'm assuming that Lebron is going to return.

  I agree. Jefferson is a solid player. Hes younger than both Bosh and Boozer and puts up some solid numbers. He could be a nice addition.
• wes_mantooth

  

  Also, if Lebron signs with Miami...how long before Riley fires the head coach so he can look like a genius head coach again?

  First time that team loses consecutive games
• The Enforcer

  Does Bosh know something we dont and that is why he signed with Miami now?
• wes_mantooth

  

  Also, if the super team is formed in Miami...not only is Cleveland set back years, but those poor Chicago Bulls.....they didn't get shit and they were set up perfectly.

• The Enforcer

  There was somebody on ESPN yesterday that said if LeBron leaves, the area around Quicken Loans Arena will lose upwards of 20 million per year.
• The Enforcer

  Another report (along with the millions and millons of others) coming from Chad Ford from ESPN.com says that now the league sentiment is that LeBron is going to sign with Miami.
