You know what...F&*$ it

I'm not letting my son become a crack addict nor will i let him be a cleveland sports fan. I want a better life for him

Crack is better, though, because at least you know you'll feel good every time you get high.

You can pay for tickets to a game where you get absolutely beat down. I'm sure that doesn't feel as good as smokin some rocks.

Thread deserves a bump.

I have said this for years. Lebron doesn't have a winners mentality. He is a loser. Let him go. It's wasted talent as far as I'm concerned. Very Shaq-esque ironically. Terrible leader and invariably a cancer to the rest of the team. Unfortunately, Lebron is and will never be as dominant as Shaq in his prime who was able to be so dominant to overcome his loser/weak mentality.

I feel an odd sense of peace right now. I have no idea why. I guess my mood lately has been too tied to what the Cavs were doing (or more appropriately, the lack of what they were doing). Now that this clusterF&*$ is finally over, I can finally be back to the person I normally am for my wife and kids which I'm sure they'll appreciate.

Like the team, I guess I'm just following LeBron's lead - can't give too much of a damn when they didn't.

I'm going to bed motherfuckers.

The fact that each and every one of us will be thinking about the same thing when head meets pillow is why I love you all. (In a RCF/Internet kinda way)

This is true, we're all going to be thinking about one thing and one thing only. I only wish it wasn't this way. I would have done anything to trade this post-season Lebron with last post-season Lebron. I can't dwell on it any further or I'll drive myself crazy. If I saw Lebron right now, I don't know if I could say anything to him. God damn it.

This is my probably my last post until training camp. The sentiment in the first part of the original post fits my mood, so this is where I'm leaving.

I might now live in Colorado, but I hang with a TON of Cleveland expats and they are as fickle as all the ignorant FUCKS bashing LeBron right now. Yeah, I get it, you're upset and you need a scapegoat. SUCK IT UP!! We lost. DEAL WITH IT!!! Don't blame the injured home boy that got you there. That's fucking bullshit AND YOU KNOW IT!!!

Cleveland fan's lack of empathy and patience cost us Belicheck and now it might cost us LeBron. Think before you emote!! FUCK!!! You people make me sick and for a fleeting moment you make me glad I don't live in Cleveland anymore.

FUCK YOU LEBRON BASHERS!!!! YOU ARE THE REASON CLEVELAND SPORTS FAIL!!!!!!!!

(I realize I'm just as emotional as anyone and a little drunk. That doesn't make me wrong.)

 

[The Oi]

For the record...I'm over it now.

Feels kinda good in a way.

 

[cvnpoka]

Best case scenario in some order or another:

(1) Nets grab Calipari
(2) Cavs S/T LeBron to the Nets for Lopez, shit contract and first round pick(s), including 2010
(3) Get John Wall or Evan Turner
(4) Break up the team to assure a poor record
(5) Fire Mike Brown
(6) Tank for a year to get the highest pick possible
(7) Tank again for another high first rounder
(8) Oklahoma City Thunder Part II

I have no idea how realistic ANY of that is. In any case...

the unrealistic part is the value of lebron in a sign and trade. unfortunately, he kills all of the cavs leverage if he can threaten to take a slight paycut and sign a max contract (rather than bird max.) so, i dont think cavs would be capable of getting lopez or the 1 let alone both.

the rumors floating now are lebron to the bulls for deng. essentially, cavs get a slightly plus player with a bad contract. doubt they could pull rose.

cavs simply have very little leverage if lebron wants to go to one particular team.

He is not signing a 5-6 year contract anyways. The only reason a S&T makes sense is the thought around the league is that the big time FAs (Bosh, Wade, James) all have said they will only do S&T's so their current team gets something in return.

No way do the Cavs take on Dengs horrible contract.

Cavs have more leverage if LBJ only wants to go to a certain team (say the Nets). That team will do whatever they can to get LeBron and as long as LBJ says only a S&T to get the Cavs something, the Nets will oblige.

2 #1's (This years and next), Lopez, Williams. Get Wall. Trade Jamison or Mo/Hickson/next years Nets pick/Green/More in a S&T for Bosh or Amare.

Wall
West
Williams
Bosh/Varejao
Lopez


Wont happen as LeBron is not leaving..

def disagree with bolded, and the post in general. i could be not seeing things logically.

its seems the main reason for a player to prefer a s&t is to get more money bc of bird rights salary and raise structure. i dont think its bc prime nba players are trying to provide charity to their former teams. esp when it will be at a competive cost to their new team.

most teams have no leverage in s&t for a max player bc they dont have cap space. there is no way for lebron to go to the mavs without a st for instance. but he can take a small paycut to go to teams with tons of cap space. so, if he says i want to play for the bulls, make it happen, and the bulls know this, the bulls will lolz at ferry for asking for rose and say, we will give you a slight upgrade with deng or else gtfo we will take bron for nothing.

The Celtics loss 2 years ago got me pissed off so badly I was angry for the entire summer. This time I feel nothing. This place is Real Cavs Fans, hopefully the Real LeBron Fans find their peace elsewhere. If anything, LBJ has been exposed to his somewhat true nature. He can fill up a stat sheet, but he's a loser. These are the games when grade A players refuse to lose, and I just can't see a scenerio where he'll win a title as "the guy" on any team.

LOL about us getting anything in a sign and trade. It would be junk basically. We'd get Deng and maybe a first rounder from the Bulls. That's about it. There's no sign and trades with the Nets or Knicks. We have no leverage in the situation.

And hell, Deng to the Cavs for LeBron opens up the bulls to sign Bosh or Wade to a max deal. Or for them to add 2-3 good players to their core along with LeBron. Can't see helping them.

Yep. I finally realized after 22 year of my life to expect to lose in Cleveland sports. If you do not have expectations, the losses hurt a lot less.

Right again, LeBron put up SICK STATS tonight, but I don't think any NBA fan would say that he had a good game. I'm just not sure if LeBron understands the nature of winning in NBA basketball. Being loose, joking around, and pre-game antics may work in high school, but not in the NBA.

LeBron lost all crediblity......everybody will poke fun at him for his handshakes, chalk toss, etc. because he is a loser (and at least this season, a quitter) in the playoffs. Sad but true.
