Don't want to lose Daniels, but definitely don't want to lose Jones. What's the max we could pay Bosh with those 2 still on the payroll?
I love the irony of the whole situtation of free agency. Murrey will now have gotten the 2 stars that shunned Houston a few years ago if Bosh comes here along with Dwight. The man definitely sets his targets and is relentless at pursuing them. Even if it's a few years later. HAHA. The MAN OF DEAL definitely knows the Art of the deal. Back, Back Shatner. IN MOREY I TRUST.
Really? Tell me another organization in pro sports that lost a player like James... on national television, the way they did..... then 4 years later, make a series of moves to get James..... and then misses out?
It's not about what is being reported. It's about what is transpiring. Think about it this way, with everything that has came out in the past week and today especially with the photo's, if LeBron does not go back to Cleveland his legacy would take a worse hit than in 2010. That means his brand takes another major hit.
Wouldn't be that big of a deal considering Jones would be playing back-up. I'm sure there is another decent player out there that can play back-up minutes at the PF spot and be similar to the production you'd get out of Jones in those limited minutes.
At least it's just Cleveland he's spurning. Imagine if he was doing this to some 3rd world soccer team! They'd kill his kids.
They're in great shape regardless of whether he goes there. They haven't embarrassed themselves whatsoever in this free agency. Stop dramatizing this whole thing. It's a business, no one will hold it against them for goin hard after lebron and failing. Maybe you will, but like I said, silly.
Damn. Rookie mistake on my part. https://mobile.twitter.com/RealSportScoops/status/486986405558501376?p=v

Where in the world did we find Mr. Ruffle? He and the Iron Sheik are really all you need with twitter.
No.... if they don't get James, they will have embarrased themselves and they will be criticized, including by their own fans. They were humiliated when they lost him 4 years ago because of their inability to put him a good cast around him, and then to have a shot at redemption, and to make all these moves to put them in a position to get James and have him spurn them... that won't look good.
