Not saying Miller is the answer, cuz he's obviously not, but how the fuck does Bron expect these key FA's to give us the time of day when the so called "King" keeps fuckin around. Enough of the circus act and receiveing surprise "boxes" from others and get to the god damn point. You in or you out??

This fuckin guy...

FWIW...I saw a link on a thread on RCF's this morning that Pat Riley was in talks with Lebron's agent, Leon Rose, last night.

This morning on Mike & Mike, Ric Bucher put the odds of LeBron resigning at 75%, and he said he was probably being conservative with that number, if that makes you feel any better.

Damn, it's dropped. I think it was 80% yesterday. ;)

Sign and trade for a FA who wants to know LeBron's status before ok'ing the deal.

You people need to understand that LeBron holds the cards for moves to happen in Cleveland and he knows this. He isn't dumb, he doesn't think Cleveland isn't doing anything but he knows that there is a great possibility to improve the roster when he re-signs.

Sure we may get a small deal done on the side but it won't be near as impactful as a move when LeBron re-signs.

Once again, step back and look at the situation. Not that difficult to comprehend. It will be a major talking point of the FO to LeBron. You sign and they will come.

No shit kid. You aren't talking to somebody like Capone here. I've been pretty damn spot on about NBA ball for the past couple years, hell even more so than most of you Cavs fans when it comes to your own team. Of course LBJ has to communicate with other big players and say I'll stay if you come type of thing. If you think I'm that stupid to not know that, then shame on you. However, even with that, it's still the FO job to sell another stud player on Cleveland. If LBJ leaves, it's my opinion that they failed to do so.

No idea they had already talked but this is a surefire way to piss off Lebron...

The Bulls want LeBron to make a decision now. Team is threatening to pull their offer if they don't get an answer by Saturday, says source.

Posters over on RCF's seem to think this deadline may be set because the Bulls feel they have a line on D-Wade. Apparently Wade met with the NYK's and was "intrigued." Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if for all of this talk of a "Big 3" in Miami and they got shut out on Bosh, Lebron AND Wade. Highly doubtful but I'd LMAO.

I wouldn't be all that surprised to see Wade go elsewhere. LeBron and Bosh are headed to Chicago. Amare is a done deal to the Knicks. The Heat have 2 players under contract. Why would Wade go back there by himself?

Highly doubt this is true, just like any other rumor that comes from a "source."

Windy reporting that the Cavs meeting is now at 11am tomorrow. They were supposed to go after Chicago so could there be some truth to this rumor? Guess we'll find out

I was just about to post that. I hope that is not true. This would not be good.

Next 24-48 hours should be interesting NYK's & NJ need to do SOMETHING to make a splash. The Knicks already have with Amare going there. WKNR is reporting that Prokhorov is going HARD aftee Chris Paul and will likely take on the contract of Okafor (if they can do this financially). Cavs will need to step it up with something if this happens.

IF (and I think he will) Lebron stays, I can see Byron Scott taking LBJ's game to another level. I listened to part of Scott's introductory press conference and it sounds like he's going to be defense first and a "Showtime Laker" uptempo offense with some of the Princeton system mixed in.
