My earlier belief that he would stay has changed and I'm about at 85-90% that he's leaving but if he does this, my "best of luck, thanks for the championship" comments can be thrown out the window and the hatred might be worse than when he left for Miami. This would be a bigger beta-bitch move than Durant's and would make him the new Robert Horry/Steve Kerr (ring chaser)....
As a side note, I'm very doubtful he would team up with the Warriors
I'd say Lebron cares too much about his image to go to the W's. He's not blind to the lashing Durant rec'd.

I mean he was better than Wesley Matthews last night but 2/15 and 0/6 not a great key to a decent win

I agree. I can see him staying in the East or even going to Houston to team up with his buddy CP3 but Golden State? That would be a bad move.
Anyhow, that's a ways off. Just hope they get their crap together but I'm doubtful.
I was very optimistic of Lebron staying in Cleveland, but right now... I can't say I'd want to. F*ck Gilbert. F*ck I.T. I'd want out of that sh*t show.

Agreed. Add to this that I don't know how much flexibility they are going to be able to have with this roster next year.
Part of the reason I believe that they aren't going to make it to the Finals is that they're OLD and SLOW. Yes, LBJ is the GOAT, but his teammates aren't and he can only do so much. They will likely finish no better than a 3 seed and the playoffs are going to be a meatgrinder. Would I bet against Lebron James in a 7 game series against teams not named the Warriors or Rockets? Not likely but I'd sure as Hell bet against his supporting cast.
I was optimistic about him staying too but unless someone can waive a magic wand and make them significantly younger, I'd be like "f#ck this" too.

No. I'm just trying to be a kinder, gentler BR. LOL
IT sucks, and belongs in the G league currently. That is all I have to say.

I bet there are high school kids, and I'm not talking about "ready to junp to the NBA", type high school kids, who could back IT down on defense. Dude's an albatross. The Cavs have their share of issues but this guy is a "me first" cancer.
Ship him to a team that wants a 'scorer' in return for a solid PG who can effectively distribute the ball and play defense.
Do you think the Cabs took on I.T. in hopes of him producing, or being a trade asset?

Personally, I think he was a throw in. They wanted that Nets pick.
Went to the game lastnight with my sister. She got tickets from work 3 rows behind the Cavs bench. At one point when lebron was on the bench and IT was in, you could hear Lebron complaining that IT never passes it.
