I think he said that soon after the last game, but changed tune closer to decision. What I heard anyways.like_that;1634050 wrote:Except when he said Lebron was staying in cleveland lol.

Someone dug up W&G's post from May 23, 2010 stating he thought LeBron was a goner based on him distancing himself from people in the organization. I think as it got closer he thought it was leaning more towards the Cavs. I'll look tomorrow for that post if you care. On my phone snd it was reposted like 150 pages back in the LeBron safari thread over there.

Anthony Bennett looks like he's ready to go. Excited to see him in summer league.

Yes he does. I hope that bust talk stuck in his mind and he comes out aggressive.

Is Cleveland a championship level team if Lebron returns?

Why? Are you trying to gauge if you'd be a fan of them or not?robj55;1634071 wrote:Is Cleveland a championship level team if Lebron returns?

Two superstars, one of those being the best player in the world. #1 overall pick in back to back years, decent supporting cast. Obviously they are championship caliber.

If Anthony doesn't go to the Bulls, then the Cavs with Lebron are the Eastern Conf favorites in Vegas. I would imagine by a large margin.

People on twitter are going crazy over this picture that the Cavaliers DJ, DJ Steph Floss, posted on Instagram... Thoughts?

Just asking everyone's opinion is all. I think they would be too obviously with a bright future. Lebron might be able to raise Andy's game again as well if he is still there.SportsAndLady;1634080 wrote:It wasn't a very good question.

Floss is tight with Lebron. The Cavs are in Vegas for their summer league, but I don't see why the team would be having any Nike party? And like the comment says..Lebron logo on bball.....Dr. KnOiTaLL;1634084 wrote:People on twitter are going crazy over this picture that the Cavaliers DJ, DJ Steph Floss, posted on Instagram...

That report has been refuted by multiple plugged in sources. Doesn't mean he's not coming, just means that may not be truth.HelloAgain;1634085 wrote:Reports Nike has purchased large amounts of Billboard space in downtown Cleveland...

Even if Melo does go, DRose is an unknown at this point. I played against a dude today who plays in Switzerland professionally and he said he recently played against Derrick Rose in some summer thing. The jist of the story is that he said DRose was terrible, couldn't score and couldn't defend anyone. Said it looked like he had lost all passion to play the game after being out for two years basically. Take it with a grain of salt or whatever but DRose may never even be close to what he was before. His entire game was based on athleticism.HelloAgain;1634083 wrote:If Anthony doesn't go to the Bulls, then the Cavs with Lebron are the Eastern Conf favorites in Vegas.

His stock is lower than ever right now, you couldn't trade him for Aaron Craft at this point.HighRoller74;1634087 wrote:This tweet made me LOL

Melo to Chicago and Rose back make Chicago a better team than Cleveland with Lebron. But it doesnt matter because he wont end up in ChicagoPick6;1634086 wrote:Wherever Melo goes is irrelevant. He is a loser.

I kinda doubt Derrick Rose would be putting up much effort in an off season pick up game, or show any real passion for playing pick up in the summer lol. I dont think hell be 100% of what he is, but even 80-90% of what he was is better than almost every PG in the NBArobj55;1634093 wrote:Even if Melo does go, DRose is an unknown at this point.

I disagree, DRose isn't the player he was, plus they won't be able to play off of each other with chemistry. They both need the ball in their hands and are ball stoppers. They would be good but not better than those Cavs. All hypothetical of course because we don't know what's going to happen, doesn't look like Melo is going to go to Chicago.KB0938;1634097 wrote:Melo to Chicago and Rose back make Chicago a better team than Cleveland with Lebron.
