I wouldn't have a problem if it was the 2nd team in a city like L.A. My problem would be...it's the most chronically dysfunctional sports organization in history.

Balta1701 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 LeBron James told CNN's Larry King that the Cleveland Cavaliers "have an edge" when it comes to signing him when the free agency period begins on July 1. James answered "absolutely" when asked by King if Cleveland has an edge to re-sign him due to his familiarity with the team. The interview was taped Tuesday and will air Friday on CNN's "Larry King Live," capping the program's 25th anniversary celebration on the network. "Absolutely. Because, you know, this city, these fans, I mean, have given me a lot in these seven years. And, you know, for me, it's comfortable. So I've got a lot of memories here. And -- and so it does have an edge," James told King. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been well coached about this for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hmm; Super agent David Falk says that LeBron James would be making a mistake by playing in Chicago. "He should not play in Chicago." Falk said. "If he doesn't win six championships, he is a failure. If he doesn't win the MVP five times, he is a failure. Every night he walks into the building he will walk past the statue of Michael Jordan. LeBron is too big. He should not have to play in the shadow of Michael Jordan." Falk also said James should not got to the Clippers and play in Kobe Bryant's shadow, but his strongest comments were about the Bulls.

Soxbadger Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hell always be in MJ's shadow no matter where he plays. He was billed as the NEXT Michael Jordan. The only way he can ever eclipse MJ would be to do it as a Bull in the house built by Jordan. He wins 7 championships as a Bull, wed be talking about the next Lebron James. If he wins 6 championships for any other team, people would still think MJ was better. I dont think any of that stuff matters though.

Quin Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 NBA Free Agent Slot Machine Most common scenarios for each free agent that I get: LeBron & Bosh to Bulls, Wade & Boozer to Miami, Amare & Johnson to Knicks, Dirk to the Suns, Lee to Nets.

I spun the thing 14 times and Joe Johnson went to the bulls 7 times, Carlos Boozer twice no one else went to the bulls even once. Edit: I just spun the thing 4 more times and Lebron went to the bulls all 4 times twice with Johnson and once with Amare.

maggsmaggs Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Also I think it's important to note the wording of Lebron (though it may not have been intended). He said "an edge" not "the edge." The Bulls also have "an edge" based on cap room and surrounding talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spun it 4 times with NOT ONE going to the Bulls, spun it a fifth and LBJ and Wade to the Bulls. The second time I spun it it had LBJ, Wade and Amare on the Heat I can totally see the Bulls not getting one of them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
