I heard LeBron and Bosh are going to team up against the Mannings in the Double Stuffed Oreo League. Chris Broussard is going to announce it any second now.

The fact that LBJ is making the announcement on ESPN bothers me. - I hate to write it folks, but I think he's going to NY.
Honestly, what TV network is he supposed to use make an announcement that won't tip his hand? Channel 4 - Miami? 
All this news has got me down as well, and I'm not sure it's looking good for the Cavs ... I'm also starting to wonder if Lebron manufactured this "I tried to recruit Bosh, but he won't come" story so he won't look like quite the bad guy if he does leave.
But I'm still hoping for the best ... an ESPN news conference where he puts out three hats on the table ... Miami, Chicago and New York. Then he rips off his suit revealing a #8 Cavs jersey ... turns to the ESPN cameras and says, "ESPN?? *HOCK PTEUW*" before flipping their excutives in the room a double-barrelled salute.

just clicking ...
If this one hour show LeBron is putting on is for anything other to announce he is staying with Cleveland, then the following will happen for me:
**I will stop watching basketball.
**I will do a complete 180 and become the biggest Kobe Bryant fan there is as he will be the only hope that LeBron doesn't win a championship over the next 5 years.
**I will always root against the guy and cheer his failures.
I was on record as saying good riddance after he quit in the playoffs, but Cleveland needs this guy. If he turns his back on the city, I will wish nothing but a career of failures for him.
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

You send out the announcement that you are having a press conference at a certain time and place, then let the media attend as they see fit. You don't orchestrate an hour long special for yourself.

I'm sure the pre-decision coverage will start at 6, with the announcement at 9.

Well it's scheduled for tomorrow from 9pm - 10pm so I'd expect him to state his intent at 9:59pm.
What I wonder is where is LeBron going to be when he make his statement??? In Cleveland??? at his home??? in the ESPN studios in NY City???

Correction- What you do is, sign where you see fit, and just announce it to the media.
Why does there need to be a press conference for this? He'll get his press conference when he's announced as a member of whichever team he chooses. Why does there need to be another one?

Cowherd reported this morning that it's 100% not in Cleveland. Don't know if that's an ominous sign or not.

i will always love the cavs, even if lbj leaves, i will follow them, i believe in dan gilbert, but my adopted team for the nba (i do it with the nfl since the browns are never in the playoffs) will be the thunder.
love the excitement there, how can you not love kevin durant. if you follow him on twitter, you'd know he seems like a very down to earth guy who just wants to play bball. i wish lbj were more like him.
i have a hard time believing lbj is gonna hold an hour long special just to rip the hearts of a fanbase that includes many family and friends.
but i dunno.

I don't live in Ohio but I agree with you completely. As a long-time Browns fan I feel a slight allegiance to Cleveland sports fans - or at least I think I do - and this would be an insult, I don't care what his reasons are if he leaves.
Big-time chump-ola, if LBJ abandons his home state. I will root against any team he plays for.
On the other hand if he does leave, the Tailgate Lot will be interesting for awhile.  What I would find amusing is if Bosh stayed in T.O. and Lebron became a Raptor.

Honestly, Sid because it's hockey. North of the 49th, even LBJ couldn't push hockey off the front sports pages, dude. Not often enough for his liking.  But it obviously would spark more of an interest in basketball up here. Not that I think it's gonna happen because it simply ain't. .

I didn't realize he was actually having a one hour show for this. 
I might just have to follow along in your plan if he spends any amount of time stringing along fans, only to stab Clevelanders in the back. 
... unless he spends 1 minute announcing his decision and then 59 minutes groveling to Cavs fans for forgiveness.

I have been a "Thunder Fan" since last season. I really like what theyre FO is building, and they really fun to watch. I also have a bit of a soft spot for the Bobcats because I was a huge Charlotte Hornets fan back in the day with Larry Johnson, Glenn Rice etc..

They said on The Herd that it isn't known where it will be, but it definitely isn't in Ohio because nobody from ESPN was sent there to work on the big special. That would lead me to GUESS it'll be at ESPN. Either in New England or L.A.
I quit listening to Cowherd a long time ago but couldn't resist listening this week. I'm shocked how impartial he sounds. Probably because the Lakers aren't in the hunt for LeBron. He didn't seem to think Cleveland was out of the running at all.
My only problem w/ what he said was his equating Delonte "You're gone, no matter what" West's ENORMOUS mistake to the entire "team" quitting on him. Therefore LeBron quit on them back in that one playoff game. No logic in that whatsoever.
This is my last post on the subject. The guy is NOT bigger than a city, team or fanbase. If he leaves and goes ANYWHERE other than Miami or Chicago, where it "appears" a better team would be around him, he's ALL about money and can not leave soon enough.
My gut tells me he stays or goes to Chicago.

Wouldnt he stay in Cleveland if he was all about the money? We can pay him more than any other team unless he left via a sign and trade.

OK, SECOND to last post maybe?
No, I don't see it that way. There's always money, but by staying, he'd also be showing faith in his current team and love and respect for the fans and the city. That's my only point.

i read somewhere that certain sources are saying it's down to miami or cleveland.
and i can't buy a word of that. are you telling me that if wade and bosh end up in miami, lebron is gonna go, make less money than wade (and possibly bosh if there is an s&t) and play second fiddle to him? no way.
people would ride that about him for years and years.
i think miami is out, and it's down to the cavs, knicks, bulls, and probably the nets.

Sources can't make up their minds anymore. Was reading some of the comments on the Cavs Truehoop blog. Many people were thinking that an hour long show bodes well for Cleveland. They can't see a guy - who cares so much about image - take a full hour on a nationally televised broadcast to stab his hometown in the back. ESPN would then cut to footage of downtown Cleveland, where people would be piling Lebron jerseys in the street to burn and defacing his huge billboard.

The decision has been made... I don't know what it is, but I think there is 0% chance that LeBron is still thinking this through.... He's just planning the announcement at this point.
And if LeBron was all about championships, then wherever he signed it would be for $10 million a year and he would leave them enough money to get him the supporting cast he needs.. strapping a team by signing for the max proves that it is about the money first, championships second.

If the billboard in Cleveland comes down between now and then .... that might be a clue .....

Wouldn't matter much for the Cavs with the cap. If he signs for $10 million here, we'd still be over the cap and forced to do trades the exact same way we'd be doing if he signs for the max.

Sorry, I can't have any respect for a person, as a fan, who can so easily put away one jersey claiming that was his favorite team and put on a different jersey, swapping favorite teams based on the movement of a few free agents.
That's fair for you to feel, but it's not like I wouldn't be a Boston fan DC.
I watch the Knicks and the Celtics. The Knicks are local, it's very easy for me to watch them. I really enjoy Lebron James, he is a high character athlete and very exciting.
I have loved Ray Allen since his time on the UConn Huskies (the basketball team dearest to my heart of course). If he leaves the Celtics, his jersey will be retired to my rafters, that's all. I wear it during Celtics and UConn Games alike, that's why I bought the jersey
Living in NYC will be very exciting if Lebron goes there. The Knickerbocker fan interest will grow tremendously (as it did with the Cavaliers with Lebron). Who wouldn't want to be part of that? It isn't like I didn't like the Knicks. In fact, I watched more regular season Knicks games this year than Celtics games (as I said, they are local, Celtics aren't and as a sports fan I watch the Knicks a lot. Galinari and David Lee are two of my favorite players in the NBA).
But feel how you want I guess........ It's just swapping my number one and two NBA teams. If you lived in NYC and you heard on the radio at 9 O'Clock tomorrow night that he's coming to the Knicks, I bet you'd be pretty excited.
Just as when Lebron leaves Cleveland, the Q will not sell out anymore, the Cavs will be just another small market team. I bet a bunch of "Cavs" fans will either stop watching NBA all together or find a new team.
I picked up the Celtics because I loved the way Ricky Davis played in 04-05. Cavs fans wouldn't understand this probably because I guess he was a real problem for your team. But for the Celtics he was great, he hustled, played defense, was clutch, and made great plays. We went through three awful seasons before getting KG and Ray Allen. I don't really need to prove Celtic loyalty to anyone, I just like being able to watch my local teams. UConn, Yankees, Knicks. Browns are an exception because they only play 16 games a regular season, so I can manage to watch every one of them at the bar or streaming online.
That and for some reason the Browns are the dearest team to my heart period............... May be it's because NFL is my favorite league/sport

But it *Could* matter for next year when we'll already have a lot of cap space.
Who knows? I'm just sick of it all.
If it's another Cleveland screw job, I'll lose every bit of respect for the guy ... that's all I have left to say.

I don't really need the explanation but thanks. I've just never been able to get behind the notion of a "second favorite team"... If my team is awful there are other teams I will root for (or more often root against).. but those teams change based on the situation there is no static team that I go to when my team is bad...

In the end he's got to go where he feels he has the best chance to win. As an elite athlete, you want to win. So far that has not happened here and things around him are looking pretty dim ... Miami is about to become very strong, Boston showed their might in the playoffs, Orlando is still a contender as well as the Bulls....
So looking around the landscape and looking back to what he has waiting here, I would be seriously considering my options as well. It's nothing about being at home, it's about winning.

Look, I can understand going to the strongest team with the best chance to win .... and such .....
But if he needs a prime time special to stick it to his home town and (if he did move) former team ..... who did everything possible to put a team around him .... well ..... then I would lose all respect for him.

that's exactly where i am getting when u said there are other teams you root for.
it's not like i am gonna buy thunder gear. i wouldn't go that far. but i usually pick a story. i should have gone with the saints, but i was rooting for peyton to win a second title.
when san diego had marty i was rooting so hard for them. i wanted him to finally get his super bowl because i thought he deserved it.
but yeah, it's not like i am buying merch of the team or anything.

MJ has set the bar for the best BB player in history. LBJ has plenty of time to surpass that and become the undisputed GOAT, the only way he'll ever be able to make legit comparisons is if he stays in Cleveland.
If he cares at all about his legacy, he stays.

I think the Prime Time Special is much more about whatever team he is going to rather than sticking it to Cleveland. He really owes Cleveland nothing. He won two MVPs and played great for the Cavaliers.
They might have tried to put good players around him, but they failed. As I said, how can Lebron win when it's him against Kobe and his squad, or the Celtics starters, or the Magic starters, or any of the other good playoff teams.
You can try all you want, but in the end, trying doesn't matter. What you manage to do is what matters. Mo Williams, Delonte West, Antoine Jamison, Shaq: that's just not a particularly good group to put alongside James.
But yeah, I feel like 9 O'Clock Thursday has nothing to do with sticking it to Cleveland. As I said, he owes the Cavaliers nothing. And it seems ridiculous to me to think that him announcing the new team that he goes to (which will be VERY exciting for the fans of the team he plays for) is in any way Lebron trying to "stick it to Cleveland" That would be petty. And I don't really think that Lebron is just any Free Agent, he is IMO the best player in the league........

i couldn't disagree with you any more.
if he leaves, he will be viewed as a class-a jerk in cleveland. and not only to the fans, but to an organization that has bent over backward for him.
and cavs fans could care less about one fan base getting excited.

and for all the bagging you are doing on the cavs, they won 60+ back to back years, and it was lebron who failed us in the playoffs. not antawn jamison, not mo williams, none of those guys.
he blew it in game 5, and he blew it in game 6.
and for all the talk of how the players around him suck, it was he who gave the nod for those moves, and apparently there were many proposed by danny ferry that he nixed.

I guess we will have to disagree.
The best analogy I can think of is a married couple that has years invested in each other and both have tried their best to do right by the other, both honoring their marriage.. then after a number of years the man plans and attends a one hour television special dedicated to him to announce to the world that he can't stay with his wife anymore because she has gained an extra 20 pounds and he has found somebody better looking.
While his new wife and her family might be ecstatic, it is completely unrealistic to say that he isn't doing wrong by his first wife by rubbing her nose in it by announcing it that way when she has done nothing but her best for him...

I watched the Celtics vs Cavs series also, obviously. And Williams sucked in the first few games. Jamison was soft on the inside and only has a finesse inside game. He doesn't rebound well and doesn't play particularly good defense.
Lebron might have okay-ed the moves, but he's not the GM. Ferry didn't find good players to put around him.
You want to blame that series on Lebron, that's fair. But people saying stupid things like that will only make James want to leave more. All he did was put the Cavaliers on his shoulders and win the Eastern Conference the past two years. Without James, the Cavaliers would be nothing.
Sorry, but from what I saw in that series, your team sucks. Mo Williams is nothing special (not that clutch of a shooter and he doesn't play good defense), and Jamison doesn't play good defense and doesn't put up that many points.
PS: What's your new name gonna be? Will you continue to be Lebron James?
DC: That's an interesting way of putting it. I understand how Cavs fans might feel that way about this special. But I don't know if James sees it that way (or rather has that same perspective). But yeah, I could understand Cleveland fans feeling that way. I guess it is sort of flaunting it in the face of the Cavaliers.
You take your teams very seriously DC, like marriages, lol. I'm a very big sports fan, but I guess I would say I only feel that way about two teams, the Browns and UConn Huskies.
