Bron got me wanting a Cavs title now ;_;

If only someone puts a muzzle on Gilbert. Tell him to STFU for about 8 months.

And reinterpreting Riles comments after the season and the salt, he knew then. Maybe Bron was noncommittal. Miami seemed like the easy choice but with some complications.

 

[Into]

He just turned face

He wont be beloved by everyone, but i think the pendulum will swing, hard. That letter is glorious and unlike the shit he pulled with the Heat, dancing and celebrating like a bunch of twats.

Its casual, heart to heart, no bullshit.

LeBron has turned face
Bosh has turned Texan
Heat has turned shit.

 

[theWB27]

Lakers aren't doing anything next year. At least Pau can fill the Robert Horry roll in a Spurs title defense.

He could....but I don't think he will.

 

[DMczaf]

that's the point.

well that and playing on a team with like 5 top 5 picks over the last 6 years.

UNLV all-time great Anthony Bennett gonna get a ring! REBELS!

 

[Ninjimbo]

I just read the letter (thats not an essay). Classy, professional, and realistic. I love it.

That said, no way in hell am I rooting for the Cavs next year lol. But I'll defend Lebron from his haters.

 

[commish]

It was a great letter.

I'm also surprised he went with Sports Illustrated over ESPN to break the story, since ESPN loves LBJ so hard.

 

[Stormhammer]

So I really enjoyed reading his thoughts, but I was curious as to when he mentioned all the young players he'd be helping out, Wiggins name wasn't mentioned. Is he going to be traded away or am I looking too much into that?

 

[PAULINK]

looking forward to the butthurt

 

[Tabris]

So like it was "The Decision", is this now "The Letter"?

 

[DietRob]

Was a very nice letter. I have more respect for Lebron now. I've always been a fan of his being from Ohio. It didn't cut as deep for me when he left for Miami because I don't live in that town. I do live in Ohio though and was able to see all of the Cavs games on Fox Sports Net so it was disappointing to have to watch a terrible team for the past 4 years though.

Can't wait for this new era of Cavs.. This is going to be so fun.

 

[agrajag]

The writing was on the wall for me with that Bron Wade conversation video. People can make fun of analyzing body language, but you have to admit that did not look good.

 

[MiamiWesker]

All the "Oh Lebron is such a great guy NOW" posts are pissing me off. He has always been a great guy. He has matured tremendously in the last few years and it has been noticeable for years now. But nooooo your damn irrational idiotic hate for the man has not let you seen that.

 

[Andrew.]

South Floridian here.

The passive aggressive reactions of everyone here in my office is fucking awesome and hilarious.

Im just sittin back and grinning like an asshole =D

 

[Love Deterrence]

DAT THREAD TITLE.

PEACE

Good day for the NBA.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Respect level went up +2 for me.

 

[Vire]

It was a great letter.

I'm also surprised he went with Sports Illustrated over ESPN to break the story, since ESPN loves LBJ so hard.

Sports Illustrated is much more well respected than joke of journalism TMZ sports edition ESPN.

It was the right move.

 

[offtopic]

Does this mean MJ's status as the greatest is probably secure? Surely even if Lebron does turn Ohio into winners, it will take lots of time.

Why would it take a while? The Eastern Conference is the NBA's minor leagues at this point and it don't take much to get a team to the Finals. Once there you can hope the Western teams have beat each other up (like when the heat beat the spurs two years ago) or you have an advantage match-up wise (like when the heat beat OKC).

Please don't pretend making it to the finals is a challenge like it is out west.

 

[turnbuckle]

Dammit, he's actually making me like him by doing this.

Not only this...but making me kind of like the Cavs.

And I've always hated the Cavs and never been a fan of Lebron...even if I think he's easily the best player in the game and has been for several years.

 

[Onemic]

I cant respect Lebron anymore, smh

 

[RS4-]

Melo brings -16 wins to any team he goes to

 

[Talamius]

ESPN getting scooped is absolutely the best thing about all this.

 

[PopeReal]

We should think of something useful to do with all those empty seats in Miami. It is going to be a graveyard in there.

Can we recycle them at least? Such a waste.

 

[Busty]

But we're White Hot!

*folds arms*

I want an independent source to verify this temperature you speak of.

 

[Fletcher]

 

[Vyrance]

Should be a fun season coming up!

We just need to completely rebuild down here

 

[Plinko]

A Rockets/Cavs final would be amazing.

 

[Lunar15]

All of us Heat fans are bandwagon fans, so we're personally not affected.

 

[rac]

It was a great letter.

I'm also surprised he went with Sports Illustrated over ESPN to break the story, since ESPN loves LBJ so hard.

He probably didn't have any faith that they would keep their mouths shut.

Some good commentary going on in NE Ohio right now about the letter.

 

[DMczaf]

*folds arms*

I want an independent source to verify this temperature you speak of.

I believe he has multiple independent sources verifying his current temperature.

 

[yellow submarine]

Well.. that was unexpected! I really did think he would go back to Miami and good ol'Pats would make some magic happen with a completely empty roster. Now its... Josh McRoberts and the corpse of Wade. Maximum lols are incoming this season, I can't wait!

 

[gazele]

So like it was "The Decision", is this now "The Letter"?

there already was a "the letter" maybe "the letter 2?"

 

[B.O.O.M]

FK YEAH!

and I say FK yeah because it's finally done

.
..
who am I kidding this shit will be talked about for the next few months non stop lol

at least now those other trades can happen

DWade got screwed over big time however

 

[Trey]

ESPN is like, "LeBron and Manziel? Brb...setting up an ESPN Cleveland site."

Just going to reskin Heat Check and call it Tootsie Town or some shit.

 

[lush]

[Darkgran]

This makes the NBA exciting for the first time in years.

 

[Assanova]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!

 

[NihonTiger90]

Enjoy today, Cleveland.

MJ isn't the greatest of all time though....one of..but not unequivocally. This sentiment is a joke.

 

[commish]

Sports Illustrated is much more well respected than joke of journalism TMZ sports edition ESPN.

It was the right move.

I very much agree with that.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

ESPN getting scooped is absolutely the best thing about all this.

That and Pat Riley's "don" act is a facade

 

[Sephzilla]

MJ isn't the greatest of all time though....one of..but not unequivocally. This sentiment is a joke.

IDK - I recognize MJ as the greatest

 

[Lambda Pie]

Will Heat fans burn his jersey?

what Heat fans?

 

[Slizz]

Josh McRoberts fonna put the team on his back.

 

[Edwardo]

 

[bucknuticus]

Heat fans on suicide watch

Heat fans? Does not compute

 

[inm8num2]

Get Melo and Darko Milicic out there to Cleveland as well. The top 3 of 2003 shall prevail!

 

[johnny_park]

MJ isn't the greatest of all time though....one of..but not unequivocally. This sentiment is a joke.

Can we not do this in this thread?

 

[Gonzalez]

This just stinks of Hogan's red, and yellow comeback near the end of WCW. I smell Yapapi disaster in his future.

 

[genjiZERO]

Am I the only one who finds this sort of stuff really cheesy?

No man. It's super lame.
