Wont happen. Cavs need Bron to re-sign before they can go after another star. They could probably go after a guy like Al Jefferson but they wont bring in any of the big time FA's with Lebron.

Which of course makes perfect sense, leaving enough time to do the damn thing.

They said on Mike and Mike that date coincides with some camp that he runs...he wants to be done with everything by then.

I've heard that the thing that Lebron wants from the Cavs is for them to acquire a legit point guard.

LeBron James Mother of All Rumors Confirmed
June 27, 2010

About six weeks ago I broke the story that LeBron James’ teammate Delonte West got caught hooking up with his Mother, Gloria James..then a media storm ensued with everyone and their mother (no pun intended) weighing in on the plausibility of the rumor..then I got a cease and desist from LeBron’s lawyer demanding me to remove the posts..I of course, knowing the rumor had truth to it, stuck by my source and let the story stand on its own..a week after that NBA Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy and several other NBA insider confirmed the story to be true..I gave LeBron’s lawyer my attorney’s phone number and he never even called…Now comes another source, one extremely close to LeBron, who is confirming that Delonte did indeed get caught in a hotel room with Gloria James the night of his MVP party..the insider says..”Super Close source says Delonte/Gloria James rumor is definitely true..LeBron’s friends have to stop LeBron from wanting to Kill Delonte every day..he’s still that pissed about it..” When I pressed the insider on his source, he had this to say..”Can’t say, I promised..I would tell you, but it would cost my friend his job..one of LeBron’s inner circle..” I get we won’t ever truly know for sure until the parties involved confirm or deny the story, but something did happen with Delonte and Gloria that evening…The close friend of LeBron’s also said he’s choosing between Cleveland and Chicago, assuming the Cavs could obtain a great point guard..T-4 days and counting..-TO

A guy over on the OBR claims that his uncle is a cop for the Cleveland Police Department. He says before game 5 there was an altercation between Mo, Shaq & Lebron regarding Delonte in the locker room. Everyone supposedly knew about this except LBJ. This made him irate (obviously) and he supposedly blew up and said "you'll never win a ring" to all of them. He proceeded to tank game 5. Whether true or false, I always thought Delonte was a hoodrat weasel.

No FA will want a S/T to Cleveland without knowing LeBron is coming back.

No FA will accept the MLE without knowing LeBron is coming back.

Its not rocket science jesus. LeBron knows he holds the cards to guys coming to Cleveland, its simple.
Gibby, I want you to read this one again and then I want you to shut the fuck up about Cleveland having to make a major move before LeBron signs.

Thanks.

Whether its true or not, Delonte West won't be playing for Cleveland next year and that's a fact.

For those of you on the rotoworld trade

Wojo:

Raptors look at sign-and-trade options

The Toronto Raptors have talked to six to eight teams willing to do sign-and-trades for Chris Bosh(notes), but front office sources say general manager Bryan Colangelo has ruled out bringing back the expensive contract of Bulls forward Luol Deng(notes).

Deng has four years and nearly $50 million left on his contract, and the Bulls have been dangling him as part of sign-and-trade possibilities involving Bosh, LeBron James(notes) and Joe Johnson.

Colangelo is working on possible deals, but Bosh ultimately has to want to go to the teams. Besides Chicago, Miami, New York and New Jersey, the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are determined suitors for Bosh.

I actually like Delonte's game a lot. He's a good PG to have come off the bench, but not worth the off the court baggage.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on Delonte as well.

Its not even his off court issues IMO, its just that his contract situation offers more overall value for Cleveland to trade him than retain him.

Mike Miller's contract offer from the Lakers just shows that Lebron needs to get fucking signed here or get the fuck out. 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??
