LeBron's people really dont do him any favors. If he isnt going back to Cleveland, they really should have "leaked" out that he wasnt interested. If he decides not to go back again they are going to be pissed due to ESPN and all other sports places reporting that they had a 90% chance to get him and they didnt stop the spark before it became a fire.

They've said it plenty of times - no decision has been made. They don't need to go and debunk every rumor out there. They've said it over and over - no decision has been made. Period.

Same with Bosh's agent...same with Melo's agent.

...and all of those guys can decide for themselves. They don't have to wait for anyone to decide first. They all have max deals on the table.

I know they never said that Cleveland was the choice or anything. In fact I dont think they have said anything at all, it has all been speculation. But the point is, once it hit the point where people on ESPN were giving like a 90% chance that he was coming home someone should have said something. Even making the agent officially declare that nothing has been decided would be better than just letting media run wild again. The backlash will not be as bad as the decision, but it will definitely be negative if he goes back to Miami now.

Yo 4ml where do you want him to go?

15 mil/season for Parsons?! There are some ridiculous contracts being handed out. I don't understand the desperation.

Its the nature of the NBA contract. Its stupid. Gordon, The white kid from Utah just got a max 4 year deal. Solid player, but max deal? lol

this is the nature of the league. They forced teams to overpay for mid-range players to build teams, but the big name guys are getting almost the same deal.

Oh man that's crazy if that actually happens.

My first preference would be Miami...depending on the roster changes. I'd like to see Melo OR Pau + Deng along with Lebron and Wade in Miami.

2nd choice - Suns...Bledsoe and Lebron together will be oh so much fun and I don't have to watch games at work. Hate games on the East coast.

3rd Houston - Makes them a true contender...

...Cleveland only if their cock-sucking owner apologizes. f**k that guy.

30th preference - Lakers. Actually - I'd rather have him retire than play for them.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m Cavs pressed Celtics/Nets officials to complete paperwork on 3-way trade in last hour, needed it done "immediately." Cap space is clear now.

His ppl have said many times that he'll like to return someday...so I've always expected it. I just don't care for their owner...and they got a dysfunctional FO.

Melo most likely resigning with Knicks

Hour and 5 min? RT @sam_amick: LeBron James won't be making an announcement in three minutes, or the next hour, for that matter, I'm told.
