    That's just it, "a version".

    The non-LBJ version of this trade would have been much less aggressive.

    That's because Lebron is sexier than Dwight (cue : Hibbert)

    Oh no. Durant is a free agent in 2 years. LBJ and Durant on the same team?

    I agree with this. He was clearly insinuating that Melo was a done deal. Anything other than that is disingenuous on his part.

    The Cavs are a horrible franchise... He is just trying to get the city off his back by acting like he is really considering going home.

    So lebron takes 1-2 year max contract? Will this be good enough for Bosh to stay there when bosh has a 4 year max deal on the table?

    Trust me, he'll claim he was right and some here will back him up.

    People are so desperate for insiders that they will stretch reality for them.

    He'll probably consider it.

    From a financial standpoint it would be a huge mistake. The chances he gets a max deal 2 years from now are very remote.

    If Bosh does that, he's not a lapdog. He's an idiot. He's never gonna get max money or anything close to it if he re-ups for 2 years and then seeks a new contract when he's 32.

    If LBJ signs a short-term deal with Miami, Morey's butthole will be clenched hard enough to split atoms.
