If you guys had to pick two teams who gave the best pitch to Lebron, what teams is it?

How in the hell is ANYONE here supposed to answer that? No one here was in any of the meetings. Just shut up.

Think about it guys/gals.

If LeBron had not decided yet and it was really between the Cavs and some other team, he would have used these days right before signing day to at least have more scheduled meetings with teams, etc. He would have visited the facilities, etc of some team he was seriously thinking about. He has not done any of that........... At. All.

You are exactly right about this. I thought for sure that we were going to be hearing about Lebron scheduling 2nd meetings with maybe the Nets and/or Chicago. There has been no reported communication since the meetings.

If I'm going to be moving cities I want to start looking at the facilities and maybe whats on the market around them. I know Lebron has been to Chicago and New Jersey but I doubt he has checked out the details of where he could be possibly be playing.

Dwayne Wade said he was "seriously interested" in Chicago and he has already had two meetings with them. I've got a good gut feeling about Wednesday night.

I feel like Cleveland is guilt tripping Lebron into staying and possibly ruining his career in the process. As KG said during the Cavs series, sometimes loyalty can be a bad thing. The Cavs aren't getting it done anytime soon with or without Lebron. Hate on haters.

How the fuck would we ruin his career? We are the most hungry team in the NBA, this team is going to do anything to bring a ship to Cleveland.

Re: LeBron Free Agency (Rumors, Speculation, Spin, Discussion)

It pretty much IS a guilt trip - but I could care less as long as it works. But in fairness to the Cavs, they also have much more depth than these other teams, just not that 2nd guy (and hopefully that changes).

We disagree a little. The Knicks tried to win for most of the decade, but Isaih ran them into the ground. They were a terrible team, and a 130 million payroll. They had to start shedding some dead weight, just to be able to rebuild. Even if they only get Amar'e, they are still better off today than they were for the rest of the decade.

Miami, OTOH, had Wade, and did the same thing. They tanked, despite having the 3rd best player in the league.

Agreed about the Knicks and Isaiah running them into the ground. Walsh and the Knicks had to do what they did to just plain salvage the franchise for the near future. However, I hate that they equate gutting their roster/having essentially no one with deserving LBJ/Wade/etc. or being a great destination for those guys. Congratulations, Knicks, you dug yourselves out of a huge financial mess. But that does NOT mean that you will/should get any top tier free agent to come your way. Enjoy Amare and someone like Monta Ellis leading your team to a 4-7 seed in the East and never being a true contender.

And the Bulls, Knicks, and Nets have?

Funny how I recall those franchises being nothing but bottom feeders for the longest time.

Really? When did KG's Minnesota teams have back to back 60+ win seasons??? Never. When was KG back to back MVP with the team to beat entering the playoffs two years in a row? Never...

They got out of the first round, once, when they got handled by the Lakers in the WCF... Minnesota's only try at a big move was to bring in Stephon Marbury and Latrell Sprewell... Two headcases that were only ever out for themselves...

Not really the same situation. But nice try.
