    This is totally not gonna happen but w/e. It's entirely driven by ESPN and random twitters.

    Could be, but it's real possibility. That tweet I just sent above is kind of drastic and hasty though

    This is exactly why I dislike Lebron. He is an attention w****.

    How is this attention-whoring? He's making a major life decision privately. What he did in 2010 was attention-whoring, but he's going about this the right way this time.

    Ummmmmm...I could get on board with attention w**** being to go on vacation as soon as FA opens up to ensure the league has to wait on you and your decision. I think that classifies.

    Which is why you're getting such a long wait for a lot of this.

    LeBron is the main domino, despite whatever Stephen A. Smith says (it isn't Bosh).

    If LeBron leaves, he has to do it with as much diplomacy as possible.

    The same goes for the rest, who will follow in rapid succession. It'll be, "Well, I really didn't want to leave / well, after looking at my options / best for my family / really want to thank the fans..." Etc.

    OMG, people what is wrong with you folks? Now calling Lebron attention w****?

    he has every rights to take the time and make his decision. This is his life his contract, not yours, not the media, and certainly not any GM's.

    If you cant wait then go do something else, its not like the NBA season is starting anytime soon.

    This. Seriously, get a grip people. These are grown men trying to making major life decisions that's best for themselves and their families.

    Lebron, It's like in miami he had a relationship with a super model. It was glamor and full of happiness and winning , but it is a bit hollow and empty. Miami fans are surface fans, there are no deep rooted miami fans. They could care less.

    In Cleveland, he will have true fans. Fans that show up for terrible teams like the cavs and the browns.

    For a player in the stage of the career that lebron is, after you win titles and ton of money, it becomes about a challenge. Part of the reason jordan left was probably bored of winning and finding a different challenge.

    4 NBA finals and 2 wins with miami when you are the clear favorite proves nothing. Other than questioning why he had the more talented team and still lost twice.

    Cleveland could be lebrons great last challenge. I think if he wins a ring in cleveland, it will cement his legacy to some extent.

    Social media has really made people lose grip on reality and boundaries.

    But, but, my finger is tired from hitting update. :(

    And think of all the fingers that Lebron is fatiguing with his selfish decision making.

    Wait, that didn't come out right. Yikes.
