RE: Lebron to the ?????
I heard on Mike and Mike this morning that the Knicks are a real possibility now that they have Amare. If Miami can land Lebron now that they have Bosh and Wade locked up, they will be unstoppable. If championships are important to Lebron, I don't see how Cleveland can convince him to stay. They have added nothing, and it doesn't look like they will.......especially considering that Bosh will be in Miami.

RE: Lebron to the ?????
If Lebrun goes to Miami, he is a puddin' tang boy, if he goes to NY he is an idiot and a zboy, if he goes stays in Clevelan then he is accepting the let down just like Cleveland will every year in the playoffs, if he goes to Chicago, he finds his Pippen and his Grant/Rodman, they go on to make the Finals next year and maybe win but win 3 titles in the next 5 years.

I like the guy and he's a great bball player but with all the "primetime" special to announce, selling ads, etc. I'm beginning to think the same thing! It's all about Lebron - he thinks everyone should

Changing my vote to Miami, b/c of Bosh, with the Knicks second and the Cavs third.

He is donating all of that sponsorship money to charity. If he signs anywhere other than Cleveland, I'll be surprised.

RE: Lebron to the ?????
Cleveland. Theres not enough room for him in Miami unless they dump some contracts that no other team wants. Cleveland can offer him the most money and i don't think they'll do a sign and trade. If they're arent willing to deal Varejao and Hickson for Bosh than who are they going to be willing to trade?
My guess, Lebron stays in Cleveland for a nother 3 years, continues to have one of the best records in the NBA, continues to fail in the playoffs, and signs with the Nets when his contract expires.
If Bosh goes to Miami than the frenzy is over. New York shot themselves in the foot guaranteeing Amare so much money

Not true. There is nobody left on the roster except Beasley (about $5.5M) and Chalmers (about $800K+). ESPN just did a demo on how Miami can pull it off. LeBron can take a $16.8M max, along with Wade and Bosh, and CBA rules allow Miami to add other roster members at the minimum for each individual player, even though it busts the cap.
Also, all 3 stars could take less, or they could trade Beasley for draft picks, and add even better role players.
Not saying that puts LeBron in Miami, only that it can be done.

If it were me, I wouldn't do it unless I got a cut of the revenue that ESPN generates as a result of the special.

I'm pretty sure the revenue from the special is going to the Boys and Girls Club. I'm not sure if anybody mentioned that.

It has...twice. While a great cause, it still is annoying that ESPN caters to Queen James' megalomania by inserting a 3 hour Sportscenter followed by Lebron's very own special announcement show. If he wanted his own special time to pick a hat and let everyone around him stroke his- er- ego, then he should have just gone to college for a year and gotten a special on ESPNU. He is almost worse than Edy Williams.

It is annoying and I think that the boys and girls club is being used to veil this attention grab as a charitable act.
