My team (rockets) was directly tied to this situation with LeBron. Now that he made his decision I can focus on my squad.
And Bosh already coming in being a team player. It would be damn near impossible to sign both Bosh and match Dallas offer sheet on Parsons.
So Bosh offered to take less money to help retain Parsons.
Class fuckin act!

Somebody ain't wanna spend no money. You can't tell me dudes is going to turn down being overpaid cause they don't know if Lebron is going to be there or not.. cannot do it.
Granger
he deserves this though.
Sucks you gotta root for him to do well now.
I wonder what wade is going to do?
Maybe he gets the blessing to go home to Chicago?
Chicago never embraced wade he said it himself
Let's bet.
Bosh is the integral reason they won 2 championships
HE got the crucial plays and rebounds
HE made the difference to go along with Lebron james.
He dominated Ibaka in the 1st go round when the round before without him Lebron had to go super sayan to get past boston...
He GOT that rebound that led to the ray allen game saving 3 didn't he?
THEY made him a jump shooter and a 3 point shooter then get mad he ain't rebounding lol
you see it ain't hurt none of his offers right?
you see he getting max out the gate for a reason right? lol
Easy to do when you know your team won't be winning shit anyway.
For sure..to whoever that applies to
I know, it's just alluding to the sentiment.. it don't fall on YOU
all yall felt Riley would get it done and felt that the owner would open up the checkbook
but now we see he wouldn't
and we can say it was about going home more than what the heat did
but the heat damn sure made it an easier decision....
they didn't put a squad around him where he had to say damn i just can't leave here...
Granger was probably the nail
when yall signed granger he didn't want any part of that bitchassness
and didn't Mcroberts almost kill lebron in the playoffs?
I don't think the mcrob hit was intentional more like frustration lol
Granger was def the nail cause them dudes don't get along
Yeah bosh going to ball out
Whether he goes to Houston or stay in Miami
I wonder if the heat will offer him max
Jeremy Lin to the Lakers, fucking great.

This makes sense. It's not like you were a 6ers fan or some shit following this shit closely.
For sure..to whoever that applies to
You're goddamn right.
The Asian community supports that decision
Kadafi a Cavs fan now. Kidd left the Nets, nothing to go back to. Watch him start suckin of off the Cavs front office now.
I'm coaching...you know Spo's days are numbered
Good get his fuck ass out of there
YAWNS...sonds like a good role player not a star. Bet 500 bucks he does not average 20 points or more while averaging 10 rebounds or more a game. The rockets can sell the farm if they want. They might still get bounced first round next year.

I wasn't lying about that ban shit in sports threads.

that's just what you want to believe and that's OK.
when he does it remember where you read it.
You are not winning anything with Kyrie, Wiggins etc.... Bron came back to win now. You want to secure Love now and not let him get to free agency if you are the Cavs. If Cleveland doesn't meet their price Minny will still have many other suitors.
Who you gonna rep now?

Heat baby! These rings still count. Panthers in football.
How LeBron James forgave Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and returned to Cleveland
Yahoo Sports By Adrian Wojnarowski 50 minutes ago
For four years, the letter had come to define Dan Gilbert, and the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers wanted to wash away the shame and embarrassment and guilt of it all. So Sunday, Gilbert sat down with LeBron James and his inner-circle and tried to absolve himself of a most wretched moment in time.
"We had five great years together and one terrible night," Gilbert told James, and so started the process of reconciliation on Sunday night in Miami. "I told him how sorry I was, expressed regret for how that night went and how I let all the emotion and passion for the situation carry me away. I told him I wish I had never done it, that I wish I could take it back."
And soon, James told Gilbert that he wished he had never done "The Decision" on cable television and that they had made mistakes together, that they could move past it. From James and his agent Rich Paul and business manager Maverick Carter, the air of peace hung heavy in the South Florida air, the process of returning to Cleveland had begun in earnest. Soon, they had stopped talking about the past and talked about the possibility of a future together and for the first time – truly the first time – the possibility of reunification had become genuine.
"It was more comfortable than I actually thought it would be," Gilbert told Yahoo Sports on Friday afternoon. "They made it easy for me."
.
These had been Gilbert's first public words since agent Rich Paul called him moments before a public announcement, and said simply, "Dan, congratulations. LeBron's coming home."
Gilbert had flown down on his private jet on Sunday for the most important meeting of his billionaire business life. After obliterating James on the night of his departure for the Miami Heat four years ago, Gilbert had come back to make his pitch for the most improbable of partnerships: James and Gilbert, older and wiser, scarred in far different ways from sport's most spectacular falling-out.
James became branded by The Decision, and Gilbert became a hostage to his Letter. Only, James would win two titles in four years with the Heat, and winning washes everything away. Winning changes the story. The Cavaliers have lost a lot of games, made mistakes and then Gilbert started to understand something: For all his business genius, all his rebuilding of Detroit and charitable endeavors and everything he had done in his life, the letter had come to define him.
"Do a Google search on me, and it's the first thing that comes up," Gilbert told Yahoo Sports. "To a certain segment of society, it's like somebody killed somebody, like somebody killed their kid. I told LeBron, 'That letter didn't hurt anybody more than it hurt me.'
"For the first two months, I kept thousands of letters – not hundreds – thousands written to me. There were 90-year-old ladies and CEOs, and I realized that that letter had transcended the event, went far beyond LeBron. After a few months, I would re-read it and just be full of regret. That wasn't me, that wasn't who I am. I didn't mean most of the things I said in there. The venom it produced, from all sides … I wish … I wish I had never done it.
"I'm grateful that we all get another chance together now."
Three years ago, Gilbert says he "started to hear rumblings that this could be possible," that James had thoughts about someday making a return to the Cavaliers. "I went back and forth in my mind, thinking: Could this really happen? It was a volatile thing for years, and now that it's happened, I'm still in shock."
Gilbert couldn't stop talking about Paul and Carter, about how they were the conduits to make it all work again. "So professional with us through the whole process," Gilbert said. In the end, LeBron James wanted to come home, wanted to forgive, and there were these two figures, forever connected in history, sitting in Miami on Sunday and slowly, surely laying out a way it could all happen again.
LeBron James comes home a two-time champion, comes home with a chance to deliver something Dan Gilbert would've never imagined possible again: a chance for them to be champions together, a chance to wash away all the stain of a Scarlet Letter and The Decision, to get together older and wiser, and better understand how it can be made right again.
His cell phone buzzed on Friday afternoon, and Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, heard the words he could've never, ever imagined: LeBron's coming home.

i can say ok Mcroberts Ok...
but granger though
nah
no fucking way them 2 gone play together ever in their lives
Are you gonna make the bet or not? I will remember someone who said bet and did not follow through unless you say what you are willing to bet.
Hahaha Lord Sinister killing Queen Tea
He's trying but we like "fuck you nigga. Where you going to go now?"
Melo wants his max money and to win right now.
The Bulls can only offer him $17M a season without trading Gibson and having to amnesty Boozer.
The Bulls owner is a notorious cheap bastard so he's trying to force NY to take Boozer because if they amnesty him they're responsible for the salary.
New York can sit back and relax now since LA took Lin's contract they don't have space. Only between Chicago and New York now, unless Melo wants to go play for a sinking Heat ship?
Chicago you can have Melo right now...but it's going to cost all first rounders, SACs 2015 first round, Doug McDermott, and that Euro player.
You can win the EAST
especially if Melo goes to the knicks and not Chicago and bosh vacating the conference
the cavs as presently constructed with the best player in the world and possibly adding mike miller and ray allen they could win the EAST.
Minnesota will not be able to execute a trade if Kevin Love says he is not going to sign an extension anywhere but in Cleveland..period.
What do you want to bet?
