WWW can just got back to ruining college basketball now LeBron was staying in Cleveland anyways. I hope he enjoys remaining ringless, although if he's smart he'll sign a 3 year deal and give himself an out. He'll still be young enough in 2013 to have some really good years left, and can go win a ring somewhere else. Even if a ring isn't on his mind though (and if he stays in Cleveland, it's not), singing a 3 year deal makes the most sense for somebody who is quite clearly an attention whore, even despite the fact he's handled the last few days well.

HuskyCaucasian Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 It seems to me that with all the personal stuff going on with Wade that he's leaning towards Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think WWW got booted because he was a sieve. Supposedly Steven A Smith got his "big three to Miami" rumor from WWW. That makes me think it was a plant by LeBron to see if it would leak out. The other, probably more logical, reason could be that WWW was trying to MAKE LeBron go where HE wanted him to go. Hence the comment about "we're going to chicago and Bosh is coming with."

DBAHO Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If Lebron re-signs with the Cavs for 3 seasons and they don't win a title, he'll definitely bolt to the Nets and join Jay Z in Brooklyn from 2013 (so long as they have the capspace). If the Bulls want Lebron, they have to get him, now or never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great news for leaving. If he was staying he would announce before the camp because it would not matter, and the media wouldn't be asking him everyday during the camp.

Soxbadger Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The whole 3 year contract thing doesnt make sense. I thought the whole idea of signing with Cleveland was that Lebron could get more money and after the CBA the new max contract may be lower meaning Lebron may never get that much again? Seems like a lot of contradiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I understand that. The question is why were the same people making a big deal about home town advantage of being able to offer more money? It cant be both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) So, James is making his announcement after his basketball camp. Interesting. Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that LeBron James, according to Windhorst’s sources, will not announce his decision about where he’s playing next season until Thursday at the earliest ... after his Nike basketball camp this week is over. Which makes total sense. Telling the world whom he wants to sign with Monday, with campers congregating in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, for the next three days, only would have worked for LeBron if he’s definitely staying with the Cavs. How could he announce that he’s leaving them in free agency and then proceed with the camp? Jittery Cavs fans will undoubtedly worry now that this is the latest LeBron’s Leaving signal, but I would argue that you can’t read that much into the delay. Not when so many folks around the league connected to the teams chasing LeBron believe, more and more, that staying with the Cavs is a far bigger possibility than many prognosticators believed going into the frenzy. If he’s going to leave Ohio now -- and subject himself to untold scorn for the rest of his life when he goes home -- James naturally wants to be sure he’s making the right call. It’s understandable, at least to me, that he wouldn’t want to rush that choice after cramming six visits into three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lobby for Chicago or Miami? I think WWW was pushing to make a name for himself, and he has. Do I ever think he was going to decide where LeBron goes? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
