ESPN radio reports that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Byron Scott are getting "close" to sealing a deal.
 
Delonte West's $4.5 Million Non-Guaranteed Contract makes a tempting deal. It is up to the management to find takers and sign another veteran guard on the market like Anthony Murrow.
 
Lebron is choosing between teams. Half of Lithuania and half of Asians are waiting for they new favorite team. Probably Cavaliers era have ended. We will see who are true Cavaliers fans when Lebron will flee away
 
In an interview in ESPN radio, Coach Byron Scott is optimistic that LeBron James is not going anywhere and likened LeBron James' playmaking skills (especially at his size and position) to Magic Johnson.

I hoped that Byron Scott will persuade Lebron to remain to Cleveland. What the Cavs need is a good coach with proper system.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: LeBron will stay in Cleveland. The Cavs gave LeBron a lot of pieces in Shaq, Jamison, Mo Williams, bringing back Z, extending Varejao...if LeBron leaves, it won't be because the Cavs are a bad organization - it will be because LeBron always wanted bigger lights. But in Cleveland, he has a perfect situation: it's his hometown team, the fans adore him, he makes more money, and he keeps all his marketing opportunities. It's not like he'll sell more jerseys if he moves to Chicago.

What about winning a Championship :D?
I believe if he goes to Chicago and is joined by either Bosh or Wade, the Bulls will definitely immediately become a legitimate title contender (especially since they're quite a young team with alot of talent Rose, Deng, Noah,...)
 
The Cleveland Cavaliers are offering Jamario Moon and the non-guaranteed contract of Delonte West to the Phoenix Suns for Leandrinho Barbosa.
 
I believe the Cavs still have life in them if Lebron does choose to leave. With a great free agent class next summer, they could possibly go for some a little above average guys who would accept minimum or around minimum contracts.
 
If LBJ does leave Cleveland, time to shine for other casts in the team. :)

Yes. But they have to be careful not to overpay somebody like the Hawks did with Joe Johnson. We'll still be a good team. We've got some solid players, like Mo Williams and (hopefully) Big Z and Varejao.

Well, crap.

The Cavs were very good to LeBron. They brought him all the players he wanted. There was nothing the Cavs or Cleveland could have done to keep him.

So, our team moves on.

Right now, our roster still looks pretty good. We're still a solid play-off team.

  • PG - Mo Williams, Delonte West
  • SG - Anthony Parker, Delonte West
  • SF - Jamario Moon, Anthony Parker
  • PF - Antawn Jamison, Leon Powe
  • C - Anderson Varejao, JJ Hickson

Plus, we've got Boobie Gibson (I think we still have him) and Jawad Williams (good in limited minutes). And we've got a good coach in Byron Scott.

Clearly we need some help in the SG/SF spot, although perhaps Moon will improve in increased minutes. I'd love to see us bring Big Z back, but I'm afraid he might leave (perhaps to Miami?).

Does anybody know what our salary situation is? Who are the potential free agents that we could get?

We have to be careful not to overpay a free agent.
 
Look at the brightside, Cavs have the financial flexibility next season to build the old fashion way, getting a good player on the draft next year. Harrison Barnes or Perry Jones but I am not suggesting that they will have the worst record next year but hey, time to rid themselves of those so called "Bandwagon fans" only the faithful remains.

As the good-old words of wisdom says:be careful what you wish for. Hopefully Lebron made a good decision for himself. :D
 
i feel really sorry for those Cavs fans. it's just not right! i understand Dan Gilbert's anger after the announcement as for the past 6 or 7 years he gave into all of the demands of LBJ and only to have this at the end. well, just have to move on.

Cleveland has a good coach right now. The team must step-up big time. They need to prove to Lebron that they can win the championship without him.
 
I feel really bad for the Cavs fans. This surely was a big slap in the face.
I don't know if burning Lebron's jerseys and throwing rocks at his billboards :D will make them feel better but it's justified as this is a big loss for the city of Cleveland.

if that happens, that will be a spit on the face of LeBron. but honestly, with their lineup right now, they need to fish a big name in the market (Carmelo, CP3 or TMac perhaps).
