Bulls getting Boozer isn't good for the Cavs. Knicks, Heat, Bulls all made moves. What can the Cavs tell Lebron to convince him to stay now? "We got Mo Williams!?" SMH

They have done nothing to convince him to stay.

They cant get Boozer
They cant get Bosh
They cant get Stoudamire

Besides a move for Chris Paul, what could they possibly do that would give him any reason for wanting to stay and try to win?

His best chance in Cleveland has been the past 2 years and you see what they got out of that.

If he does stay, it will be a bit of a head scratcher, but understandable at the same time.

All LBJ had to do was decide. He is the one that messed up getting anyone else.

Just talked to my buddy who works for the immigration office in Greece, and he told me that his boss told him that LeBron has just applied for a Working Visa. FWIW

Just talked to a buddy who was alive in the 80s. He says his dad worked in a crack house and he is LeBron's dad.

When you think about it, it only makes sense. LeBron's mom's name is Gloria, which starts with a G. Greece also starts w/ a G, the clues were there all along.

Couldn't agree more.

If Lebron returns to Cleveland, you have to question his intelligence, and I hate to say that. Sure he proves he's loyal, but he always proves that he's stubborn and naive. The Cavs just don't have the roster to get it done, so he's basically spending at least 1-2 years playing on a team waiting for them to make a move to improve the roster. The current roster just isn't good enough.

James doesn't return unless there is a deal waiting in the wings.

I don't know if there is a realistic deal out there that makes them better. And I said realistic, which eliminates the Paul talks.

Gimme a break. Lebron James would be "stubborn and naive" for staying with his hometown team? That has to be one of the most ignorant comments that I have seen on this website. Cavs might not have the roster to get it done right now. There are moves that they can make to improve the roster. I dont understand why people think its impossible for the Cavs to make a trade. The Raptors liked the Cavs package, Bosh just wasnt into it. So they can swing a deal thats good enough for a guy like Bosh but cant make any other moves to improve their roster? I dont understand this logic

A guy like Al Jefferson would be a nice fit. Hes on the block. Hes not as skilled as a guy like Bosh but his numbers are pretty close and hes a few years younger. Cavs have the pieces to add him and he would be an upgrade over any of the "bigs" that we currently have.

The roster that had the best record in the league last year? SMH. So many idiots...so little time.

The Drive, The Shot, The Fumble, The Debacle and now THE DECISION? LeBron & his people are good, real good!

Local Cleveland Sports talk radio guy Kenny Roda twittered that earlier.

I thought it was funny. At least if Lebron leaves it is a catchy name to add to the litany of Cleveland Sports disasters.
