    I don't think that's necessarily true. The Cavs had several overpaid players yes, but I think you could find teams who would take guys like Jamison, Delonte, Mo Williams, Hickson, and Varejao. You can argue none of those guys are "Robins" but all of those guys fit Lebron's playing style and I think they could have packaged a couple of those guys to upgrade to a true #2 with a little patience. It's completely unrealistic to say he would have NEVER won a championship there when he was so close several times already and this year was without a doubt his best team yet but he flat out quit on them in a series they should have won. .

    I don't think the Cavs are entirely innocent here, but I think Lebron owed them more than to embarrass them like he did. Since the first day he stepped foot in that arena they bent over backwards to make him happy much to the detriment of his own legacy and the team's ability to build a dynasty. They made a series of short term roster moves that made Bron's team incrementally better each year, but didn't position it to make a long term run because Lebron wanted to win NOW. I think Lebron even dictated coaches in Cleveland during his tenure which is a shame because Mike Brown got out coached badly in playoff games. In the end, Cleveland's biggest fault was COMPLETELY trusting in Lebron - why mortgage the future and take on massive salary for veteran players if not for Lebron's approval? It especially made me feel for Cleveland that they said he has not had the stones to return texts or calls back from Cleveland management at all since the season ended for them. That's just poor form from a guy who owed his team at least some respect for letting him run the show while in Cleveland.

    Kobe / Lebron is the new 2-Pac / Biggie. :eek:

    I expect some asses to be capped as a result of this.

    Rockets will play them six times next season, if they can make it to the finals.

    Yes! The Cavs may improve in the future should Lebron stay or wait for Chris Paul in another 2 year. But by then, he will 27-28 and the window is closing.
    Now he sees the chance to win it all in the Heat and he joined the Heat, Just show that how much he wants to win now.(Of cause personally I think Lebron is more fear than he will go down with the tilte of the Greatest player without win a ring). He wants to win now so that he can get more media attention more deals whatever you want to say about it. And i agreed the Cavs is badly run from the day Lebron stepped on the court.

    Still I think Lebron made a huge mistake by not joinin the Bulls which have a REAL TEAM whereas the Heat is only a Three men team! I would like to all three of them start to blame the organisation for getting them some help after they fail to win the championship. It will be hilarious!

    Well there is no law or rule in the league book to prevent that. So we can't really complain about it since it is the players' rights to discuss their future.
