Slam Dumb's take on the LeBron sweepstakes and where he should go

King of the Hill by Dmitry

It's late June, the most boring part of the NBA season. Nothing happens at this time of the year except trades of crappy contracts, random firings of upper management, and jail time for players who managed to get their trials postponed until after the playoffs. Lucky for all of us, the King of Akron himself is up for grabs as a free agent in just a few days, so we have lots of wild speculating to do! Let's look at the teams he has to choose from, and the pros and cons of each.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers are the obvious "easy" choice. LeBron is revered as a god in Northeast Ohio, as anyone who has seen the 60-foot-tall, solid-gold nude statue of him in Akron's town square will attest. If he stays in Cleveland and wins a championship, he will become legendary. Cleveland's bards will sing songs of his deeds for the next hundred years. But can he win a championship with the Cavs? Let's examine the details:

Pros:
An owner who's willing to spend money
Rabid LeBron fans who boo the visiting team into submission most of the time
A half-decent core of Tittie Gibson, JJ Hickson, and... Antawn Jamison, I guess
Daily fellatio from each member of Cavs management and coaching staff
Doesn't have to fly his mom to every home game
Can sign for more money, not that LeBron would notice the difference

Cons:
Delonte West (he'll probably be an ex-con by training camp)
An owner who's willing to spend money on Anderson Varejao and Mo Williams
Cleveland weather
No coach. Maybe LeBron will be coach.
Most of the Cavs can't play basketball very well

Overall assessment: B-. LeBron's got a decent chance of sticking around, but it will be for reasons that don't involve "maximizing" the chance of winning an NBA championship. The Cavaliers have never surrounded LeBron with truly quality players, and next year isn't going to be any different. With the rest of the big-ticket free agents looking for new homes, the odds that a 2008-Boston-like superpower will emerge even without LeBron moving states is quite likely, which doesn't help his chances one bit. Still, even winning one in Cleveland would count for a lot. Much more than winning one in any other city. The only other city that could even come close in terms of impact would be New York. So, let's look at that situation.

Re: LeBron Should Think Like an Entrepreneur?

Really? You sure you didn't write the article?
 
Re: LeBron Should Think Like an Entrepreneur?

Welcome!

Well yeah, but that's not old news. Is this your blog/article by chance? Just wondering. Does it need it's own thread?
 
Re: LeBron Should Think Like an Entrepreneur?

That article is ass...........Don't read it.
 
Re: Slam Dumb's take on the LeBron sweepstakes and where he should go

It's a guy who writes a basketball webcomic.

For those that read Penny Arcade, would you take what they say about video games to heart? Yes, you would, because they're more on the inside of the business than any other person using that medium.

But this guy is a Phoenix fan who writes a webcomic. If you read his reasons, half of them are joke reasons. That's the only way you can take this blog post: as a joke. If you take it seriously, then what basketball have you been watching?
 
Re: LeBron Should Think Like an Entrepreneur?

Re: Slam Dumb's take on the LeBron sweepstakes and where he should go

He should probably stick to the comics, tbh.
 
Re: Slam Dumb's take on the LeBron sweepstakes and where he should go

It's a joke and very easy to understand I'm not serious once you see that he lists the Phoenix fucking Suns...

But I understand everyone here is worried and shitting their pants about Lebron leaving so everything is super cereal
 
Re: LeBronJames.com!!!!

I'll still never forget when I was waiting in the line for Lebron's MVP ceremony, and some guy runs up to security asking where DJ Floss was supposed to park. The guard had no clue who Floss was and just told him to park in a lot somewhere else.
