I really thought he was going to stay in Cleveland.
Motown -- don't forget about the big Corey Maggette for Dan Gadzuric and Charlie Bell trade! As a Bucks fan, I'm pleased with their offseason.
And the story that's been under reported is Durant signing an extension with OKC.
But back to the Heat. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not buying the talk that Riley is staying upstairs and Spoelstra is going to remain on as coach. Stan Van Gundy might be able to speak on that further...
But really, I don't think the Lebron-Miami deal will change things. Each year there's usually only 2-3 teams people think have a legitimate shot at the NBA title. Now everyone will expect it will be the Lakers and MIami. Hell everyone thought LA would threepeat after this year's finals, was that exciting? Now they'll have more competition and I think that's a good thing.
I'm about sick of this Lebron James free-agency decision "suspense," and see it as him being very narcissistic, egotistical, and self-absorbed. And on top of it all, who gives a flying fuck? There are people with fatal or debilitating diseases, there is hunger in the world, economic collapse and disenfranchisement, especially among the poor, and the public and media are captivated by the impending free-agency decision of a million-dollar athlete. When did our priorities get so fucking twisted?
Stacks you're one of those guys that reads Playboy for the articles, aren't you? ;)

Thank u.
and Durant dick suckers can wait for him to leave OKC out of frustration.

Amare is gonna be the next Shawn Marion; a bust withOUT Nash. I am soooooooo glad Miami didn't get stuck with him (I still have nightmares of having to see "the matrix" play in a heat uniform)

Now that the dark shadow of the Dolan empire has fallen over him, Stoudemire's rapid decline will soon commence.
David Lee will emerge as twice the player at half the price and the Knicks won't have anything resembling a team for at least 4-5 years.

Cav's owner response to Lebron's defection to Miami is the epitome of ass-hurt. What a clonn.
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight: "I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.
The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

playoff flameout hilarity ensues.
Man, that'd fucking fantastic. Fuck the Heat.
"the talk about jordan and lebron end now."
Warriors send: Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf and Kelenna Azubuike
In return for:
Knicks: David Lee who will become the warriors highest paid player. If that doesn't tell you something about how sorry this franchise is nothing will.
