Well, I've defended Lebron despite his gigantic ego for years. I can't defend this. There are a lot of children crying in Cleveland right now. And his legacy? Way to go from competing with Michael Jordan to competing with Scottie Pippen. That's Wade's team.

LMAO. People were calling him selfish a week ago. Now he's getting burned for going to a team where he is not "THE GUY" and where we wants to win championships? Maybe its not about being better than MJ. Is it that hard to believe he just wants to win championships regardless of comparisons to MJ?

Cleveland built him up. It's their own fault.

Lebron will turn into Magic Johnson.

He will try to avg a triple double next season...I think he will do it.

Great Move for him and the NBA.

So does anyone know the mechanics behind these three contracts? How are the heat going to make it work without unloading Beasley?? And how will they have any money to sign other players?

It's going to be sweet when the Rockets beat the Heat in the finals. It will be pretty close to beating Team USA.

I'm sorry, but this is BS. Lebron WAS the GM of the Cavs. They pretty much built that team the way Lebron wanted to. Kept the guys he liked, etc. Lebron was running the Cavs. And when it turned out that they failed, Lebron bailed.

Then again, that's what happens when you let a player run your franchise. So no sympathy to the Cavs organization. But do feel bad for their fans.

Did LBJ just say that the custodian helps the team win? Let's hope he never coaches...

I think its more exciting than sad because it's not a given that they win multiple championships
although they are younger than the Celts

this decision tells you how much lebron wants to win MULTIPLE championships. and why are people saying it'll be wade's team? it was. now it's lebron.

lebron will do more for miami than wade or bosh.

He signed with Miami and basically crapped on the hard work of all the NBA stars before him.

Not the brightest bulb, certainly.

The Tim Duncan Contract should be the title of the 3 yr contract. Duncan made it vogue to keep the pressure on management to keep a viable team around him. Duncan almost left to join tracy and hill in orlando, but the spurs kept the commitment to building a winner. All those players who get greedy and sign for 7 years and then after 3 start whining when the team sux should take a page out of the book. Anyone who thinks lebron is a douche, oh well. He put the cavs on the map again and doesn't owe them nothing. He wants to win titles and the team he has isn't good enough nor was the coaching.

This is a very good point. The Cavs had their chances and blew it. It was actually Duncan joining Grant Hill in Orlando. When Duncan backed out, Orlando went after T-Mac.

I too feel bad for the Cleveland fans, but not for their organization. LeBron carried that team and is now a free agent. He's well within his rights to leave. Fans are always cheering and asking to trade this player or trade for that player...it works both ways. He finished his contract and he's free to leave to team that better suits his desires (wanting to win).

And it doesn't really effect the Rockets too much...it'll just make for a better Finals match up. At least it wasn't New York.

johnhollinger: Just said all three will take less money ... but is it the expected 500ishK a year less to just fit them under cap, or is it more?

I think its a great day. How often do superstars take less than the max in order to win? Maybe this makes the NBA market teams more than they do individuals. I understand people are sick of the FA Circus but c'mon. It is a team game and the point is to win championships.
