It's not that he hasn't made a decision. It's how he's acting about it.
Meeting with other free agents to discuss future.
Making teams come to him, rather than going to meet the teams.
I really wish one of these teams would publicly withdraw from the LeBron race, saying "We're bigger than one player".

he shouldn't meet with other free agents to see how organizations are actually run but just take those FO's word for it?
teams coming to him so he can meet with 3 teams a day and get this part over with in 3 days rather than 8-10? Plus, being able to make them professional in stature and cutting out all the marketing glib (or at least doing what he can to do that).
and, in the NBA, when you are talking about top5 players...no, no team is bigger than 1 guy. 1 guy can change the direction of a franchise (LeBron, Dwight, Durant, Wade). any team that would do that would just be doing it because they realized they aren't getting LeBron and wanting to make a spectacle.

Byron Scott had his press conference at 3:00 today.
RECAP:
- Scott saw elements he liked about the Cavs -- good owner, committed to winning, etc. Considers this a home run opportunity. Feels good about the whole situation.
- Main objective is to win multiple championships.
- Main focus will be defense. Defense must keep us in games when offense isn't clicking.
- Wants to run on offense, especially in playoffs. Will focus more on this starting in training camp and conditioning the team to be a running team. Still will run portions of Princeton offense.
- Thinks Cavs are in a position to get over the hump right now after taking their lumps from Boston 2 of the last 3 years.
- Believes his leadership, communication, and experience qualities, as well as winning, will be main selling points to LeBron as a coach.
- Hasn't studied roster as much because of the uncertainty of free agency.
- Thought he was out of the running for the job just the other day because it seemed certain that Brian Shaw would get the job.
- Saw this as golden opportunity to coach a legitimate contender. Feels this team has a good chance to win a championship right away.
- Most superstars want to be coached and pushed to the limit. Accepts responsibility for how things played out in New Jersey with Jason Kidd.
- Obviously wants to coach LeBron, but has put his trust in the FO to put the right pieces in place.
- Likens LeBron to Magic Johnson. Was told that LeBron wants to be coached and wants to be pushed to his limits.
- Kenny Roda asks a typical dumbass question -- "Do you have an out clause in your contract if the Lakers job becomes available?" How the hell does this guy still have a job? I'm so embarrassed for Cleveland sports radio; it's absolutely miserable.
- Cavs FO is meeting with LeBron tomorrow at 11.
- Paul Pressey (sp?) will be his first assistant. Former assistant coach of his. Has not hired any other staff yet.

there have been some media personalities around here that are starting to come around and think lbj is staying,
As I sit back and look at this from my very uninformed position, it cracks me up. It's very much like watching an animated skit of a bunch of little dots following each other around...
Somebody with some authority says he's staying and all of the dots run over to scream that he's probably staying.... then NY gets into the conversation and all of the little dots run over to scream that he's going to NY.... then Chicago clears some cap room and all of the little dots run over to scream that he's probably going to Chicago... then the Nets, the Clippers, the Heat, back to Cleveland... it has actually been comical to watch all of the "well connected media" types following each other around without an original thought in the group...

Info on our new coach's lead assistant: Quote:
Paul Pressey
College - Tulsa
Paul Pressey joined the Hornets as an assistant coach on July 1, 2007. He brought with him the experience of 26 seasons as a coach and player on the professional level.
Pressey’s last coaching position was at the Boston Celtics, where he was an assistant coach for two seasons (2004-2006) and an advance scout for one season (2006-07). During his time in Boston, the Celtics compiled a 102-144 (.415) overall record and made the playoffs once.
Prior to working with the Celtics, Pressey spent four seasons (2000-2004) as an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic. The Richmond, Va. native spent six seasons as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs prior to the Magic, helping the Spurs capture their first-ever NBA Championship in 1998-99.
Pressey enjoyed an 11-year NBA career as a player, appearing in 724 regular season games with Milwaukee and San Antonio. Selected 21st overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1982 NBA Draft, Pressey averaged 10.6 points, 5.6 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. His best season came in 1984-85 when he averaged 16.1 points, 6.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game and was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team as a member of the Bucks.
Prior to the 1992-93 season, Pressey was named an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors, but after a rash of injuries he was forced back to the court and appeared in 18 games. He spent the entire 1993-94 season as an assistant coach with the Warriors.
Pressey began his collegiate career at Western Texas Junior College, leading them to a 37-0 record and a JUCO National Title, before playing at the University of Tulsa. He graduated from Tulsa in 1982 with a degree in physical education. Pressey helped bring national recognition and the 1981 NIT Championship to The University of Tulsa, leading the Golden Hurricane to a 50-13 record in two seasons. Pressey earned All-America honors as a senior in the 1981-82 season and was named the MVC Player of the Year.
Pressey and his wife, Elizabeth, have four children, Ashley, Angela, Matthew and Phillip.
It also should be noted that he is credited with creating the "point forward" position. Interesting...

Realgm is saying the Knicks are out of the question now. Miami might be as well. Chicago might get D-Wade and LeBron: Dwyane Wade will reportedly meet with the Bulls for a second time on Friday night, with the possibility of a partnership with LeBron James to join him in Chicago on the agenda.
If Wade can't get LeBron to come with him, Chris Bosh could join him instead. While Wade and LeBron want to play together, it sounds like LeBron doesn't want to play for a gutted Heat team, and now it appears Wade may not want to either. At this point, the Heat are going to have to start thinking about damage control, as Wade is clearly beginning to taunt the franchise. His latest note on Twitter sums it up: "Immma start a website called what little do they know.com..l2ms" And in case you're wondering, l2ms means 'laughing to myself.' No one in Miami is going to be laughing if Wade and LeBron end up in Chicago.http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wadelebronbulls072010

Sources say one team that all but eliminated itself with James in the presentation process was the New York Knicks. James met with the organization on Friday and his inner-circle has described New York’s presentation as lacking preparedness and organization. James’ camp also found it to be redundant to much of the New Jersey Nets’ far sharper, edgier presentation on James’ earning power. James hasn’t been convinced that he can overcome the $30 million difference between possible Cleveland and New York offers through endorsements and other streams of revenue. However, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov’s vision of bulking up James’ international portfolio did resonate with him, and the Nets vision of using Brooklyn and the owner’s international muscle does appeal to him. Sources say that James is dubious his mere presence on the Knicks will be worth that much more to him in endorsements. The appearance of Knicks GM Donnie Walsh in a wheelchair due to a neck problem and the frumpy, unimpressive Jim Dolan didn’t provide James with an image of vibrancy.  @ the Knicks

Do the Bulls think that LeBron and Dwyane Wade are going to take less-than-max deals to play in Chicago? Because I highly doubt that either one is going to do that, and, unless they move more players, thats what has to happen.

not only that, but they are both taking paycuts to get there, because nobody is going via sign and trade, but then one of those 2 would have to take ANOTHER pay cut, because they don't have the $$ for two guys.
i don't think lbj wants to play with wade, i really don't. wade having one ring already means a lot, i think. he doesn't want to be looked at as a guy who didn't win anything without wade... they're both alpha dogs, they're both 4th quarter point guards.
not gonna happen. i think this is all window dressing, and nothing more.

A problem we'll have is what if Bosh and Wade go to Chicago? There's no way in hell LeBron will want to stay. PG: Rose >> Mo SG: D-Wade >> Parker SF: Who cares << LeBron PF: Bosh >> Jamison C: Noah ???????? We can't compete with those guys even with LeBron.

I think you underestimate the LeBron.
He is the first domino and Wade knows that LeBron will want to assume that role.
LeBron will choose before Wade and Bosh. And, if Wade/Bosh were going to do that, they would want it that way anyway.

I heard that Wade is trying to get joint custody of his kids that live in Chicago and the only way to do so is to live and work in Chicago. That might explain why the Bulls are a favorable option.

that is great news. let him go to chicago. that would eliminate the heat as an option for james. There would be no way he would go to chi-town, to play with rose and wade. I don't see how that would work since Rose is such a great point, and needs the ball just as much as James or Wade.

That would be horrible for us either way. Do you really think LeBron's gonna want to stay with this team? We'd have no chance against Chicago. It'd be the 90's all over again.

If Lebron signs with us, it would open the door to a sign and trade for Bosh. Chicago wouldn't be able to offer him the max ... and we have the better assets for a S&T. He wouldn't be going to Miami with no Wade or Lebron, and every other team would be a no better option than Toronto.

Just clicking... Brainstorm. With the Lakers signing Steve Blake today to a $4 Million a year deal for 4 years today, think maybe it would be possible to get Fish for a veteran minimum? I mean there's no reports yet of the Lakers making him an offer and with Brown/Farmar/Blake, maybe it's crowded? Personally I'd think they'd be nuts not to re-sign Fish but they won't carry 4 point guards on the friggin' roster. I would love to see him in Cleveland and have Mo off the bench for him. His defense would really help us out in the 4th quarter. He did as good a job on Rondo that you could ask in the Finals and certainly offers better defense for crunch time where we can throw Mo on the bench (and should maximize Mo's influence on the game if he comes in for short doses and against other teams' bench players). I know it's not happening but that would be pretty damn ideal to me.

They'll probabally get rid of Farmar. However I would love to get a PG to cause Mo to be on the bench.

I think Mo would be fantastic coming off the bench in a role like Jamal Crawford where he comes in to give an offensive spark and they take him out when his defense becomes too much of a liability. I don't think Farmar or Fisher are good enough to make that happen though.
What I do think could make that happen though is LeBron James playing Magic Johnson in our version of the Show Time Lakers. Byron Scott specifically mentioned this yesterday in his press conference and now I'm all kinds of excited.

windy thought that was a direct message to lebron.
if wade went to chicago, with what they have there, i think the cavs would still be a better team should they keep james. if the cavs land bosh too, they are the overwhelming favorites in the east.
as good as rose is, he needs the ball, does not play well off of it. leaving wade to do what exactly?
not to mention you would still be able to abuse them down low much like we did in the playoffs.

Derek Fisher lives in LA because the best eye cancer center in the nation is in LA (his daughter had a rare form, it is in remission, but I doubt he risks leaving those doctors again).
as good as the Cleveland Clinic is, I doubt Fisher ever leaves those doctors and I do not blame him.

FYI the Cavs are meeting with LeBron right now.  Now it is the Cavaliers' turn. After two days of meetings with the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, the hometown Cavs are up next to make their sales pitch to mega free agent LeBron James. Their strategy, according to sources, will be somewhat different from the other teams' and focus on just how well they know their superstar. The meeting is expected to be relatively short, nowhere near the length of the Knicks' and Heat's, who met with James for more than two hours. Owner Dan Gilbert, General Manager Chris Grant and new coach Byron Scott are expected to be the principles in the meeting, but other members of the organization that James is close with could be present as well. The Cavs also plan on playing toward James' sense of humor and playfulness, something with which the team is very familiar. The plan is to keep it loose and informal because of their long-term relationship with James, who has been attending the meetings in T-shirts and sweats while his suitors arrive in $2,000 suits. Although the Cavs have met with James in person several times since the end of the season, they have been preparing for this moment for several months. While their presentation will not be as flashy as some of the others, sources said the Cavs spent significant money and time in creating their show. The Cavs have displayed the theme of their pitch with the billboards reading "Home" that are across the city. The feeling of home and the comfort with the team is part of the selling point. There will, of course, be serious business to discuss. The Cavs have two visions to explain. One is how Scott sees James within his systems and what changes he plans to make. Scott and James already know each other. They have spent time together at events set up by mutual ally Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. But James doesn't know Scott as a coach. Scott hopes to change that today. Speaking as if he were addressing James directly, Scott said at his introductory news conference on Friday in Independence that he wants the Cavs to be a running offensive team. That is something James has privately, and sometimes publicly, wanted to do more over the last several seasons. "You could almost look at LeBron as a Magic Johnson type," Scott said, comparing James to his former teammate with the Lakers and close friend. "He has that type of ability, that type of skill." The second piece of serious business is the roster upgrades that can be executed if James re-signs. That is where Grant and Gilbert come in. The other teams trying to sign James are working toward bringing in other top free agents. The Cavs aren't out of that game. According to a source, the Toronto Raptors like some of the pieces the Cavs could use in a sign-and-trade for Chris Bosh. The Cavs, unlike rivals trying to get Bosh such as the Bulls and Heat, can offer a package of prospects, quality veterans, expiring contracts and instant savings. Because of the depth of the roster, the Cavs can absorb a bad contract or two from the Raptors, which could save Toronto millions of dollars this season and years into the future and help with a rebuilding process after Bosh's departure. It would all be predicated on Bosh wanting to come to Cleveland, and that would depend on James recruiting him after re-signing. So would all the other major moves the Cavs would look into and show James. Which is why re-signing him is the first priority, and the plan is to show that to him today. http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2010/07/cleveland_cavaliers_ready_to_m.htmlIt's the ultimate boom or bust scenario. We could end up with nothing or these guys:

if we have LeBron/Wade, I don't care who else we have
but, if you meant we need to trade AV to get Bosh...that may or may not be true. Hickson/Jamison/Delonte might be enough. Maybe if we take back Calderon instead of Turk, we include Mo, et cetera. A lot of iterations. Probably need to include AV, but not 100%.

love andy, think his value has always been underrated, but if it meant bosh, which meant a done deal for keeping lbj? how do you not?
especially if we could land brendan heywood and not have to worry about the center position, cause bosh has been on record saying he wants to be a 4 and not a 5 (although i'm sure in some situations you could have an lbj at the 4 and bosh at the 5 when you wanna go small)

been thinking about the Knicks giving up a 5yr/$100mil to Amare (likely)
that leaves them with a decent chunk of change left to go after FAs but not enough for the top guys.
looked over the guys available, and think it would make the most sense for them to go after:
Raymon Felton - only decent PG available, they will overpay to have somebody to run D'Antoni's system.
JJ Redick - fits the system perfectly on offense. Defense is improving but will never be good. Sounds like a perfect fit.
That would give them a roster of:
PG: Felton / Douglass
SG: Redick
SF: Chandler / Gallinari
PF: Amare
C: Curry
("best" 5 probably has Amare at C and Gallinari playing PF but most teams would abuse that)
Don't think that's what Knick fans signed up for, but that's what it looks like they have coming. Still, it's at least a team that would be fun to watch.

Sign me up for that deal. While andy has grown on me the past year I doubt that he'll ever reach the level of play that Bosh will bring.

he'll always be a complimentary player (whereas obviously bosh is showcase type player) but so is derek fisher, guys like that are important to championship teams.
but still, you have a chance to land a 20-25/10 type guy? you have to do it.

I agree with others that you have to sign off on that deal, but I'm not sure it's what they will require.
Toronto just signed Amir Johnson (or agreed and will sign on July 8th) to a $35mil/5year deal.
Paying a similar to AV player $7mil/year while paying AV $8-9mil/year doesn't make much sense. It would be tough for them to be on the floor together.
That's why I was thinking JJ + Jamison (+Delonte to save $$) might be what they are thinking.

Chris Broussard is saying the Raptors don't feel like signing and trading Bosh. He also said Bosh wouldn't want to play in cleveland because it's a small market. I say BS, I wouldn't care about market size if I had the chance to play with LeBron and earn a max contract. If he doesn't want to come to cleveland then I hope the Raps don't offer bosh the max and trade him

it really sounds like showmanship by the Raptors. they are getting offers, they want better ones. call a bluff and see what happens.
i mean, if it was an organization that was frugal and ran things the right way, then i could see them not sign-n-trade, but this is the Raptors.
See: Turkoglu, Amir Johnson, Calderon, et cetera.

we'll find out soon enough, loved that the cavs took a comical, easy going approach to their meeting today, because from what we've all heard, they have been in contact throughout the last 6 weeks or so. so it's not like they had anything really to show him, other than byron scott, whom i'm sure had a bunch of things to tell lebron. i loved his confidence in his presser. i know saying one thing, and doing it are two different things, but he just seems very no-nonsense, but still approachable. and he has a very good assistant coming with him.
