Re: The Lebron Safari 2014

Is it not curious that LeBron gave the story to Sports Illustrated and not ESPN? Was LeBron never really on board with their marketing of him, and their use of him to market themselves?

He never forgot their hypocrisy regarding his last decision. They were on board with the decision but bashed him when they seen the negative feedback of it. It was a big F U to SC

It's finally over. These last ten days... four years... seemed to last forever. There were ups... there were more downs... but in the end, we can all come together and become prepared.

Onto the Summer League. Here's to hoping Wiggins stays...

Sports Illustrated is well-known for maintaining secrecy. Remember the Jason Collins story they did that came out of nowhere? SI is where I would take my story if I wanted it to remain hidden until ready.

So, now we know that he is signing with Cleveland...Assuming for the Max. What does that leave us in terms of cap space?

Is there enough to bring on Mike Miller or Ray Allen (or Panthro Williams) as a veteran presence? He mentioned not winning a championship right away, but with a small vet presence like these 2, we could be contenders.

What does this mean for Miami? Does Bosh sign with Houston? Who do they sign now to fill out their roster? How valuable is that 1st round pick now? So many questions to remain answered.

He also pretty much said he will retire here. What a great day for Cleveland.

OH YEAh, fuck Bomani Jones and all the Cleveland hate he has spread this week.

Also, all of those who doubted Sheridan can GFT.

Sheridan doubling down last night - after 11pm, and after the "flying with Wade and stopping in Miami thing" - was the only thing keeping me afloat. I will always be grateful to him for that.

So Mike and Ray, you sign here.

Well i'm thinking... if we had won the NBA championship at 2010 maybe Lebron wouldn't consider coming back home...

We'd still have an old ass roster and Mike Brown. We have the potential to win multiple with the youth on this roster.
