No he won't because he doesn't have the sack to do it. It's ALL about becoming the "next Warren Buffett", not about winning. You could put Kobe, Bosh & Wade around him in ANY city and he'd still fall short.
People want to compare him to Michael Jordan...BULLSHIT. Even with these scrubs, Jordan would have FOUND a way to win a ring or two. Lebron, you're NO Jordan.
QFT. Jordan had Luc Longley, Bill Wennington, Bill Cartright, Craig Hodges, Stacey King, etc...he had one all-star (Pippen) and a bunch of nobody's. Lebron has a pretty decent collection of talent around him, and he looks like shit when it counts.
I guess my point was that people need to QUIT comparing him to Jordan because he's nowhere NEAR the clutch player that Jordan was. I guess that makes my point even MORE valid that Jordan would have had a couple of rings with Lebron's supporting cast if he can win them with the players you mentioned.
It's a moot point because he's gone anyway. If "winning a championship" is REALLY his motivator, he's gonna go where he feels he has the BEST shot. Right now, as assembled, the Cavs are probably about the FIFTH most likely to win a title next year. It's not gonna get any better with the albatross' of "Choke" Williams and an aging Jamison on the roster. Ferry can only pull SO many rabbits out of a hat.
Jamison's contract handcuffed them. Before that trade my thoughts were "you BETTER make DAMN sure this is the piece that gets you a title or you're fucked with that contract."
