It has been a few weeks... I was wondering where all the Lebron 2010 articles were...
In ESPN insider there is a Lebron to Houston or Clippers...
Will someone post it?
Thanks...
LeBron James has a big decision to make this summer. Should he re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, or sign with another team like the Knicks, Nets or Heat? Well, what about the Rockets? Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle thinks LeBron should consider playing in Houston.
Justice writes: "LeBron you've got a big decision coming up, and amid all the talk of you playing for the Knicks or Nets or maybe staying with the Cavs, we hope you'll consider us. You'd love it here, and you don't have to take my word for it. Ask anyone who has played here. It's one of the NBA cities others are measured by. Players love it here. I don't know all the factors you're going to consider, but if you want to win a championship, if you want to play for a smart, first-class organization, you might not do better than the Rockets. That's where we'll begin. If you've got questions about real estate, shopping or weather, we can answer 'em all. Who needs Manhattan's crosstown traffic when you can have Allen Parkway?"
*Beg Moar:gap:*
T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times thinks the Los Angeles Clippers are the best team for James.
Simers writes: "I'm listening to Colin Cowherd's radio show Tuesday morning, and he's talking with someone about LeBron James maybe ending up in New York or New Jersey, and I keep waiting for Cowherd to say something brilliant. He usually does, but he's off his game, and so now I'm the one who will have to make the argument that there's an excellent chance James will be playing for the Clippers next season. Right now there are seven teams in salary-cap range to make a run at James. Among them, the Clippers offer the most attractive supporting cast to a guy who is probably pretty intent on winning a championship." :chuckles::chuckles::thumbdown
"I think he's going to go to New York," Magic Johnson said when asked where LeBron James will wind up next summer.
"They're in the lead, they just have to make it [attractive] for him," Johnson said. "LeBron will come to New York if he knows they're gonna win .... So, if they sign a free agent first, that would probably seal the deal, I believe. They should have somebody else on their radar to make him want to come."
Johnson advises a pairing with a free-agent other than Dwyane Wade because he does not believe two superstar wing players can share the ball.
"He could really be a 'King' if he could revitalize the Knicks," Johnson said. "You got some of the best basketball fans in the world, and now you could be responsible for bringing a championship back to New York. Now, it's gonna take a few years, because you still gotta add more pieces. He's got more talent in Cleveland, but he can do more incredible things in New York."
Johnson thinks James should sign a short-term contract to keep his options open for the future.
"I would say for [James], and knowing what he wants to accomplish, if he said he wants to be a billionaire, or close to it, you gotta go to New York," Johnson said. "And I would tell him this: 'Wherever you go, sign for three or four years, and then look at the situation. If you don't like it, you could go somewhere else.'
"I think he's looking at the Knicks very, very hard. He really probably wants to go to New York, but I think he's gonna see what both teams end up doing, who has the most talent."
I cannot stand that AIDS ridden piece of shit Magic...
I was thinking about this...I think he is more likely to leave if we win the title this year. I know it sounds crazy, but look at my logic.
1- If he wins one, he can say he did his duty to the fans of Cleveland.
2- He also will have one title that is "his". Now he can go team up with Wade and when they win more title's Wade and everyone won't say Lebron needed Wade to even win one. I don't see him going to play with Wade if he will always have one less title than Wade. I don't think his ego would allow it.
Any thoughts?

First off, no, it's horrible logic. He wants a "string of titles," and a Jordan-esque legacy, plain and simple.
Second off, I hope you are not thinking that you have come up with some new hypothesis or something. People have been bringing that up for years now...
Just because you say it is horrible logic does not make it so...the logic is actually very strong. Whether it happens or not we would have to wait and see.
A string of titles...that doesn't have to be here. It can be with his good buddies if they field an all star team in a warm weather "fun" city. If we win the title he may feel his job here is done and then do what HE wants to do.
And I have yet to see someone say it may be more likely he leaves if we win the title and if someone else has said it congrats to them.
