As Chicago is making major moves to clear room for 2 superstars....
Lets say Lebron and Bosh both land with Chicago....instant dynasty. Anyhow, what are your feelings toward Lebron? Is he a hero that carried the city for 7 years? Is he another Benedict Boozer? Are you indifferent?

Not a Cavs fans, but regardless, they still suck, with or without him.

If he leaves I won't give 2 shits bout him or the Cavs any longer!! Us Cleveland fans have suffered long enough, we want just one title and neither the Browns, Indians, or Cavs can deliver when their fans have been amongst the most loyal in sports!

He may wanna call off work sick when he's set to play against Cleveland. I believe he will be the most hated sports icon of alltime next to Art Modell of course. I can't say I'll be a fan of him leavin, but I'm still optimistic somewhat something gets done. Allthough Chicago is paving the way for a dynasty of years to come. We shall see starting in here in about 3 minutes.

I'd rather jam a fork into my eyes than watch Joakim Noah win a couple NBA titles with Lebron James. Words cant describe how much hatred I would have for Lebron if he were to do the unthinkable.

I believe he will be disliked, but nowhere near 'Modell status'.
Remember, Cleveland will always be Browns town.

If he were to leave those games against whatever teams he lands with may be the only games all season the Cavs play on national TV. He will be a pariah in the city forever most likely.

You won't care about the Cavs anymore if ONE player leaves, but you are among the "most loyal in sports"??
I'm confused...

You are confused, because you have no idea what it is like to be a championship starved fan. Frustration sets in and you wanna give up...it happens. I saw a lot of Cleveland posters say flat out stupid things when the Cavs were choking away against Boston....just part of the frustration of being a Cleveland sports fan.

He's not a Boozer. Boozer flat out said he wasn't going anywhere and then left. LeBron has never fully committed to staying, treadling the line closely and saying though he'd like to stay, he's still going to test the market.
Will LeBron still be disliked if he leaves? Sure, but he won't be leaving on a bold faced lie.

This. He didn't lie, he'd for sure be going to somewhere to win a ring. Now, if he left and went to....ohhhhhh lets say the Clippers of Knicks. Then it'd be worse, because it was for the money and fame, and clearly not the ring.

I do speak from frustration as a fan my whole life. Cleveland rarely gets the opportunity to get a player like LeBron in sports and they still can't deliver, I am telling you Cleveland is cursed!!!

I will not hate LeBron but I will not cheer for him. I cheer for the Cavs and that's it.

LeBron will be hated if he leaves. I will still root for the Cavs of course, but I will probably dislike LBJ as much as I do Kobe. D-Wade will be the guy I would want to see winning championships if he's not playing with LBJ. With that being said, I still think LBJ stays in Cleveland and is joined by Bosh.

All I know is that I will watch as many Chicago Bulls games as I can, and probably no Cavs games.

I wouldn't....the Bulls would be boring to watch because they would just murder everyone.

Who said blowouts are boring? They would somewhat realistically put together an unreal roster. I actually wonder now if Wade is reconsidering his stance on Chicago? Rose, Lebron, Deng, Bosh and Noah. By far the best starting 5 in the NBA and it's probably not even close.

He will be loathed in Cleveland because of the way he went out. Had he fought to the bitter end in the playoffs, that may have eased the sting a bit but he flat out quit and tanked it in game 5. For all of the good he did, THAT is what he will be remembered for ala the Byner fumble.
