I think you’d have to be crazy not to think it’s at least a consideration

I mean lebron was always going to leave eventually. I doubt he’s making decisions on buying/selling NBA franchises based on one player.

Also the idea that a potential buyer wouldn't consider thinking about next yr's roster is absolutely hilarious.

Right. Gilbert picked the wrong time to sell. Should've moved the team right after the championship, when it's value was high and Lebron was in "I love Cleveland" mode. Not with all of this crap going on and Lebron's pending free agency.

If I were a Cavs fan, after wanting to kill myself, I would be pissed either waywith Him staying or going.  Leaving....obvious.

Staying. ...then why not commit with long term deals so the FO can plan.   If they know he is staying or was locked in a contract they could dangle that high pick to help them win it all again.   As of now, they don't know so they have to plan to rebuild.

As great as a player He has been he has been incredibly selfish in not giving the FO a fair chance at gwtting all the pieces to win now

IT has this awkward habit of jumping without really knowing whether he’s going to shoot or pass.

Good win tonight. The lineup adjustment seemed to pay off. TT with the double-double on 5-7 shooting.

And being 10 inches shorter than everyone else makes that a sizable problem

How about passing the ball and playing defense.

As this goes on, I'm getting the impression more & more that IT is a major issue and they need to jettison him, if they can.

IT is being a bitch boy. Time for him to "sack up" or we need to send his ass packing. I'd bench him for being a butthurt bitch boy.

If IT truly is upset he didn’t play in the 4th quarter and the Cavs played well (and won by 15+) then they need to ship him out TODAY for a 12 pack of sprite. I literally couldn’t care less what they get in return for him. This is a championship team, IT, this isn’t Sacramento. I wish teams would take more of a Belicheck/Popovich approach to players like this. If you don’t want to put the team ahead of you as an individual, bye Felicia.

Yep, can’t bitch when you win big...and in his case, probably shouldn’t at all.

This attitude, for the most part, is a symptom of the whole league. Except for maybe Popovich, in more cases than not (and I'm using this as terminology, not a slur toward any ethnic group), the inmates run the asylum. It's a player driven, not coach, driven league. Players seem to get away with IT's type of whining and it's just "part of the game." Obviously IT's not on the level of Lebron but we've been dealing with his (LBJ's) passive/aggressive whining for years.

That quote was before that game. Not saying he didn’t complain, but I haven’t heard that. And that quote wasn’t complaining either, it was in response to a reporter asking why he is shooting so much when he is struggling. I kind of agree with his answer, IF the Cavs want him to be a scorer. 

Regardless, I don’t think he complained about not playing the 4th.

Bingo.  The Cavs won 16 in a row without him ....................maybe he forgot.
