View Full Version : LBJ really needs to leave MIA next year

EDIT: More proof shown tonight in game 3:

1) Noah would have grabbed all those rebounds
2) Rose would have taken over for LBJ
3) Bench would have been more productive


Be smart LBJ and leave teh Miami Cavaliers.



================================================== ==
We all know he went to MIA so he didn't have to do everything to win a title. Guess what? That's exactly what he's doing every game by putting up big numbers. Wade is washed up and hurt again for the second straight year, Bosh is inconsistent and doesn't play like a big man in the paint, the bench is susceptible at times plus a myriad of other problems.

ALL of these issues will be resolved if he goes to a better team... like CHI. Rose will come back to form and he will obviously be better than Wade, Noah is the big man that LBJ needs unlike Bosh, bench is equal or better, team defense is equal or better, not to mention CHI has the better coach... etc.

LBJ will have an easier time winning titles in CHI than MIA and is the better option in 2014.

The guy has always been an overgrown 12 year old trapped in an old balding man's body.

LeBum is an idiot. He should have went to Chicago in the first place but he was too scared to play in Jordan's shoes and in his building.

Lebron is tired of being the only option again. He should go to Dallas after next year. Dallas will get D12 and CP3 for 15mil a year. Dirk's contract will come off and he'll come back for 8-10mil a year. Lebron can sign for 15 mil a year to play with greatness and not be the only option.

The Heat go as far as LeBron drags them, and that might be 6 games unless someone else steps up.

Why would he leave?

He went to MIA for help. He gets little help from Wade (hurt again for two straight playoffs / washed up) and Bosh is very inconsistent (Mr. 2 Rebounds/game). He's basically in CLE again have to do 30, 10, and 10 every night. In CHI, he won't have to be CLE mode again because Rose once he's back in form is better than Wade and Bosh.

No, Lebron just has to realize that this team is only going as far as he takes them. That's any team he plays for, not just this one. Should've taken the ball to the hole like a man last night when he turned the ball over.

Doesn't mean he has to turn into a chucker, but he's the best player on the planet. He has to take over when they're down late. This team is not as good as the hype suggests. Bosh is inconsistent. Wade is a gimp. Ray Allen can't even shoot free throws now. The only sure thing is Lebron and Birdman.

As far as we are concerned, he is the enemy and must never play in a Bulls uniform.

I don't know if I could bare it actually. I would probably go into hibernation away from basketball until he either retires or is traded. Yes I hate him that much.

LeBron shouldn't leave, he can (CAN, I said, not will, so chill out) win at least a couple more rings on the Heat. They are a great team, Wade hasn't been playing very well for his standards but he's still capable of putting up numbers, and Bosh is still a very good player. He's got some good role players too of course.

LeBron and Kobe stans would be rooting for the same team,and although stanning and blaming kobe,lebron

there wouldnt be 50 threads about lebron,kobe heat hate threads

itll probably reduce and what should happen is just have one big long thread of lebron,kobe hate and stan

Move on without LeBron. If the opportunity came along that Mr. James had legitimate interest to come back to Cleveland I hope ownership doesn't take that plunge. It's not hate or dislike for him. We had 7 years of his career to win with him, it didn't work. During his prime years in Cleveland we had monstrous regular seasons only to be outplay majorly in the playoffs not even sniffing the Finals.

Now we resigned Mike Brown (which I personally disagree with). So getting LeBron back is all the sudden going to work now?

To be fair a player in league history had never put in to change his number before the start of the next season then left that team the following season. LeBron did.

Contract lengths were different and free agency was different prior to 5-10 years ago as well, very recent. It doesn't mean that won't change and be different now.

Why would he leave? That roster is stacked and still very talented. Even with less than completely healthy Dwyane Wade. It's sad that Miami fans would say this while he's in the thick of battle in the Eastern Conference Finals. Such a fickle fan base.

I certainly don't want him in Chicago. I already have enough players on my team I don't like right now. Plus if he were to go to any city other than Cleveland in order to chase more rings while still in his prime ... He would need to be extremely embarrassed. That would be three teams in his prime in five years. Legacy destroyed.

Because CHI is a better team when healthy. Who disagrees with this? I mean, it's as obvious as day and night. You take out LBJ from MIA and if you have a 7-game series between the Bulls and the Heat, who do you think will win? Only reason MIA is winning is because of LBJ. And he has to do so much for that to happen! Basically CLE days all over again. Not so if he goes to the Bulls.

Lebron's biggest problem(regarding the team set up) is that he's the main ballhandler and attacks the paint. If he leaves to join a better team, their star player can't be a ballhandling SG or a PG, they'd take away from each other. Neither could it be a frontcourt player who plays on the low block. So anywhere he goes he needs shooters, an off the ball shooting PG and a big who stretches the floor.

Chicago has none of these. Neither does Cleveland. The current Raptors would be an better fit than any of those two teams.

I think Miami is his best fit, since he has got exactly what he needs there.

I've been saying that for a while too. When people say Lebron could've win with Shaq I laugh at them because I just don't see how Lebron would play with Shaq who is a ball dominant center and commands a lot of attention in the paint, where he does most of the work.

I think Lebron could've won with prime Shaq, but he would be the clear second option, not even a 1b. Lebron would be more of a PG with scoring skills in that setup than a scoring SF with passing skills. He definately wouldn't be the same player he is now. They would compare him to Magic instead of MJ.

He'd still get the same if not more flack than Kobe for riding Shaq's coattails to titles.

I don't think so because if you still remember he would be playing in the triangle and in that offense he would not have the ball as much as he would in an offense like the Heat(too ball dominant). Plus Lebron is not the perimeter player Kobe is as he is more of a slasher and maybe they wouldn't play as good (specially if they played from 03 - 06 when Shaq was still great and not injured).

Then again this is all conjecture and there is no way of knowing this.

Back in the day the media was wondering if the triangle works as good with a dominant post player, when they hired Phil/Tex and it worked out fine I guess. Lebron wouldn't be able to hold the ball for extended periods every possession, but he would still be the primary ballhandler and his passing is good enough to fill that role. The slashing is the bigger deal Shaq would need to step out of his comfort zone to let Lebron have his, which would definately not happen. So most likely Lebron would get his points on breaks and jumpers, which as I said would most likely leave him with less points.

Generally I agree with you though. I don't think anyone can conclude titles especially multiple for a Shaq/Lebron combo and as you wrote there's no chance to find out anyway.

Why would he leave Miami when Bosh & Wade's contracts are up? If Wade is still limping around and being old next season, Miami could just let him go and chase a younger guy like Paul George or even sign up Carmelo Anthony. They could keep Bosh for a cheaper price easily I think, unless somehow he puts up his Toronto numbers, which he won't. Then use that money they saved on the difference between his contracts & letting Ray Allen (player option this offseason), Rashard Lewis (player option this offseason), Shane Battier & Mike Miller expire and rebuild a supporting cast. Maybe a Lance Stephenson and Channing Frye type.

They could also let Bosh & Wade walk and sign up John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins to play with LeBron.

This is LeBron's team now and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Miami let Wade walk or sign both Bosh & Wade to cheaper deals and add a younger up and coming star to the roster with the difference saved. There's no reason for Bron to leave Miami.

From a bball standpoint, Cleveland (projected), Chicago, and LA (assuming Dwight stays) have a better roster and fit than Miami's roster. I don't care what anyone sense, centers are underrated and outside players are overrated. I'd take Noah over Rose, Hibbert over George, and Chandler over Melo. The Heat supporting cast has NO center beyond Andersen who is 34 and can only play 20 mins tops. The other centers on the team are pathetic. You have to at least have average centers. That alone makes the roster sorely incomplete and subpar imo.

Bosh is good, but not great and is not a post anchor of defense, rebounding and post offense. Centers are by far the most important position and they provide post defense and rebounding which are among the most important things in bball. They are what determines if a defense is good or not. Also their post scoring is the most efficient scoring method. Miami is pathetic in post offense, rebounding, and post defense. Size wins in the NBA. Also Wade isn't young, getting worse with age and injury, and didn't fit that well with Lebron in the first place anyways.

Now if Dalembert signs with Miami that would instantly go from a subpar incomplete roster to a complete and excellent supporting cast with a C rotation of Dalembert/Andersen. But even then, he would merely be a bandaid just like Andersen as they are both in their 30s. What about the future? Miami's roster has little to offer in the future.

Miami has had to work so hard despite the flashy big 3 because they have no center. If Lebron teams up with Dwight Howard they would instantly go on a roll and dominate and make it look easy. Same with Chicago and Noah.

Lebron+Dwight Howard+Trash>>>>> Lebron+Bosh+Wade+Allen+Battier+Cole etc

More proof shown tonight:

1) Noah would have grabbed all those rebounds
2) Rose would have taken over for LBJ
3) Bench would have been more productive


Be smart LBJ and leave teh Miami Cavaliers.

IMO the less teams he plays for the better. At this point I'd prefer seeing him retire in Miami. I don't like when a player bounces around too much, makes it feel like he's a rental.

See Shaq.

It would be legacy suicide for lebron to go to the bulls. No way the people around him let him do something that stupid, even if he wanted to.

When have the people around LeBron not let him do stupid things?

1. Cleveland trades the number one pick for a late lottery selection and a promising, young 6th/7th/8th man who can consistently knock down the 3
2. LeBron signs with CLE in the summer of 2014 as the Cavs somewhat tank for another year
3. In the 2014 Draft, Cavs trade Waiters and a late lottery pick up for a top 5 pick, and select the best player left on the board
4. Titles on titles on titles

If LeBron leaves, he leaves for a big market team. Lakers? Knicks? Bulls? Not the Clippers though. :oldlol:

Bulls is the best option for him:

* Noah grabs all the rebounds
* Rose will not be shut out like Wade and Bosh (he's a freakin' former MVP ffs!)
* Better coach
* Same bench depth (perhaps slightly better if Nate goes nuts)
* Same defense (perhaps slightly better as Butler develops)

exactly, he makes this team worse by being so ball dominant and trying to stat pad his assists/points. If he leaves, Wade and Bosh become top 5 players again.

And all the old Ohio LeBron fans will travel to Chicago to watch his games again since he came back to the Midwest.
