How the hell would the Clippers be a better situation than Cleveland.

probably because the previous coach didn't have hickson, williams, parker, etc. their rle players are quite good, they're just not great.

how would the clippers be a better situation? Let's see:
Baron Davis, Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin, Chris Kaman (one of the top 3 offensive centers in the game), rasual butler, craig smith, deandre jordan, steve blake, travis outlaw and the addition of al-farouq aminu. That's an infinitely better offensive team than the cavs. the question is, could that team play defense?

This will NEVER happen. Sterling is cheap, and he is on record that he doesn't sell anything. The Geffen speculation is a lark. Sterling doesn't need the Clippers to win to make money. They are a historically bad team; arguably (maybe inarguably) the worst professional franchise in all of professional sports. He will never spend LeBron-level money because he doesn't have to.

On the contrary, since the player salaries are capped, LeBron is guaranteed to be a positive ROI. Not signing him if you had the chance would be incredibly stupid.

ROI? You're missing the point. Clippers aren't near the team cap and don't pay guys max money. Sterling's not stupid but his decision making appears to revolve more around ego and thrift.

I don't necessarily blame ESPN but I mean really LeBron..... this whole thing is losing any kind of cred he'd carry with me.

Douche status confirmed.

I almost want the Lakers to beat them next year just so he eats a big d*.

So douchey, he should start going by Todd Graham. This might even make me root for the Lakers.

Yeah, I will pull for a Lakers sweep of the Heat in the finals.
