    People seriously overrated divisions in the NBA. Why would the division rivals care?? LeBron is still in the east, that's all that matters.

    Loved Lebron's letter, he has clearly matured as a man, and his PR was great here.

    I live in Cleveland so my two teams are 1. Rockets 2. Cavs. This could not have worked out better for either.

    I think there were 3. JGreen91, Vinsanity, and Sactown.

    Lebron is a straight up man. That letter he wrote was fantastic. Good for him.

    He didn't screw over wade. He gave him 2 more titles. It was his time to go. Unicorns were never meant to be owned and kept forever. They were meant to be free.

    If your a Miami fan it will feel bad if Lebron wins 2 or more rings in Cleveland. Your team will feel more like it was just a side girl.

    If I'm Lebron my duty there is to help Irving and Wiggins (and maybe even Bennet) mature. Lebron is what 30? He's going to decline in maybe 4 years or so and that's when those guys should be hitting their primes so that they can carry him in his older age to more rings (like Duncan did)

    Bron needs to be especially on Wiggins. As players coming into the NBA they have a lot of similarities.

    So does this mean Wiggins will play SG?

    It was traded with the idea that the pick would be worthless. Now that pick could potentially be a lottery pick if Bosh bolts too.

    Wade also opted out of a $42 million guaranteed contract for LeBron's sake.

    Do you think he's going to get that kind of money from anywhere these days, given his current state?

    Going to have to depend on pity or an "in recognition of your years of meritorous service" offer from Arison/Heat

    Maybe Pat Riley will throw him a nice new contract to say "thank you" for all the good years. The dude did bring them 3 titles, I think you could say he deserves it.

    If he wanted to win he would have went somewhere else. Like Houston.
