Hey, this got me thinking. Should we start a "Is Favre coming back" thread now or wait till the beginning of September?
This will likely blow up in LeBron's face. Even if they do win. He still coulda won somewhere else, leading his team to glory. Now, he's taking the easy way out to get the nay-sayers off his back. At least Chris Bosh chose the Heat for himself, not to please others. He did it cuz, fuck, it's Miami, Florida!
Toronto will still do OK still some moves to be made
Then they need to make some serious moves because now they don't have Chris Bosh and they made a bad move by signing a below-average player Amir Johnson to five-year, $34 million deal (outrageous contract in my opinion). I hate to say it, but Toronto Raptors' future is looking bleak and I would be surprised if they make to the playoffs next year.
I would say Jeter is in the same league,Griffey was,in his prime,along with quite a few others.
If you are lucky enough to get a contract like ARod got from Texas,there really isn't any reason to bother with endorsements.It's just extra work for more money that you will never be able to spend in a lifetime.

There is no way they will make the playoffs next year. The East has become too good; the Raptors won't be able to realistically compete with any team in the East for a spot. We've been through this before. We'll be bottom feeders for a couple years until we land a superstar who will bring us back to relevancy, only for him to leave as well.
LeBronomics: Could High Taxes Influence James' Team Decision?
NBA superstar free agent would pay over $12 million in New York income taxes, none in Miami
Wow, no wonder he didn't want to go to New York. Can't say I blame him though.

He'll probably win a championship.............................

But I don't think MLB does a good job of individually marketing their players unlike the NFL or NBA.

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
I am NOT mad that Lebron picked the Heat, but I would have rather seen him go too Chicago, or Detroit or just stay in Cleveland, but THANK GAWD he didn't pick the Nets or even worse the Knicks... I would have put the Jinxy curse on Lebron to never win a championship, and I would hate on Lebron until the day he left the Big Apple.
No offense to NY'ers but you guys have the Yankee's that's enough!!! the Yankee's get all the glitz, & glam, so as a Michiganian / Detroiter I have acquired the taste to hate every single NY sports team with a passion. :2 cents:

^ LeBron is no longer the King. There are no kings in Wade County.
In ten years, it's going to be Wade that will be considered the better player. He's going to be the one leading the Heat. And he's always going to have one more ring than LeBron.

3 reasons why Lebron didn't join the knicks.
1). Camel Face jay Z (Part owner of the nets)

2). The Gay Duo Wade & Bosh
3). Pat "The Weasel" Riley we still hate that motherfucker!

Or, he doesn't care what people think of him and just wants to play some ball with his friends and try to win some rings. I don't see the problem.
This is what I'm thinking. God forbid the guy for trying to win a championship (which last I checked, was the reason for most player decisions). All the talk about LeBron not being able to win a championship by himself, name one player who has. Every single one of the "greats" have all had help.
Sure he could have stayed loyal to Cleveland, but he didn't. He's not the first player in any sport to not stay loyal to his original team and bolt to find championship glory else where. He won't be the last.
No matter what LeBron did, Dan Gilbert could have showed some class. Instead he acted like a little kid who just had his best toy taken away (which essentially he did). All Gilbert did was show what a loser he really is and in my opinion did more to embarrass the team then anything LeBron did.

He still won't win a championship. It doesn't matter whether he's got Dwane Wade or Shaq on his team.

He would have had a better chance for a ring in Chicago.
Three superstars on one team with no bench and no money to pay anyone else will not work. Had he gone to Chicago I think they could be top 2 teams in the East next year and seriously contend with Orlando (not old man Boston)for the NBA Finals east spot.
D.Wade is the better player, so lets see if "King" James can handle being second best and the second (or third) option. Bosh and Wade sounded great but adding James was crazy.
Hopefully they get rid of Beasley and the Bobcasts get him. That'd be nice.

You forgot to add the fourth which I've already mentioned it on the second page of this thread and I would argue it's the biggest reason than all of the three above.

They are getting rid of him, however, the Bobcats will not get him.
Wolves To Acquire Michael Beasley
Whatever way I look at it it's the wrong decision:
1.So lets say Bron, D-Wade and Bosh win it all, that's what's expected of them. Lebron will suffer the "couldn't win on his own" criticism.
2.If they lose at any stage before the Finals and it's a complete failure.
3.He's losing a shitload of money.
The guy should have stayed home and tried to get the Cavs over the hump. That way he's either gonna win and be put up there with Mike and the greats or not get the championships and be ranked with Malone, Kidd, Dominique and all the other all-timers without a ring. Still not terrible company.
