View Full Version : The idea of Lebron leaving Miami is just absurd.

At first I thought he might leave and I was always telling my Heat fan friends not to be surprised if he does go, but a few things to keep in mind that have developed or that we always knew:
- Pat Riley is a genius who will do what is necessary to keep the team a contender
- Cleveland sucks
- It makes him look pretty wack to jump to another stacked team and might hurt his legacy and he doesn't want to be known as that guy who jumps around even if he wouldn't admit it (e.g. going to Clippers)
- West is stacked as hell and no other east teams are worth going to
No way Lebron leaves Miami. Even if they do lose.

Too late on this part, the decision and joining another top 3 player forever leaves its mark on his legacy :oldlol:

It's funny, lebron stans act like it doesn't matter all along, but like OP, they come to realize and admit the fact that ringchasing all the time looks bad :lol
Guess they're ready to admit that lebron has an empty resume after ringchasing in his prime and joining two other stars to create a stacked team :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yeah there aren't really appetizing teams for Lebron with the cap space for him to jump to this off season. He will still be able to contend another year with the same core next season so he will stick with them for another season but I do see him jumping ship if the Heat have a disappointing season next year.

I could see Bosh opting out for a long term deal. An injured Wade making 20 mil against the cap doesn't seem like a contending team going forward. All their other players are old and under short term contracts. So who knows what they will look like in a few years. Lebron might want to go back to Cleveland to play with Dion and Kyrie.

Lebron sign and trade to the Warriors for the splash brothers + iggy. i'd do that in a heartbeat

Nobody in their right mind looks at the New York front office and says "Yep, I can win here"
Lebron will only leave if he gets a good offer to go elsewhere. Honestly, the choices right now are Miami and Cleveland. And the Cavs will not be contenders until a few years so if he goes back it will be for sentimental reasons.
The other choices are just laughable speculation.

LeBron doesn't give two shits to leave bunch of money on the table to keep Miami a contender. He doesn't need a high salary to justify his skill because everyone knows he's one of the two best basketball players in the world. Plus it makes him look like a better person for taking less money for the good of the team.
Also, he makes tens of millions of dollars in other ventures. He doesn't give a ****.
He's not going anywhere. End of discussion. He'll probably return to Cleveland at the end of his next big contract when he's 34 or 35 though.

Maybe. But is Melo going to turn down that max contract New York is going to offer? He gutted the original team to begin with so he wouldn't lose money before the new CBA kicked in. Is he willing to take a paycut?

Nah, very minimal chance. In all likelihood they would have to give the boot to Bosh for Melo to be satisfied with it financially.

He can take a slight paycut, but he's not gonna play for significantly less. The union would pressure the hell out of him to keep him from doin it.

Agreed. And even if they replaced Bosh with Melo, they would all have to still take paycuts to bring a decent big man. And we all know those don't come cheap at all. Ideally, the current big 3 re-sign, but leave money on he table to bring a few more pieces in. As crappy as the Knicks are, I just don't see Melo turning down the money they are going to offer him.

Chalmers
Wade
Melo
Lebron
Oden/Birdman
Cole is going to get a decent deal somewhere else. Battier and Allen are on the way out. I'd assume that Chalmers will stay with the team on the low.. maybe not. Even at that point, I don't think Toney Douglas would be a bad option for a backup PG for cheap.
With Wade-Bron-Melo in Miami it's a given a good amount of players will want to come in and play with them for a fraction of their worth. Not sure they can get a good big man, but if Oden can stay healthy and they can retain Birdman they might not need one.
They arent giving up Bosh for Melo.

People act like he is the most disloyal person in the NBA, yet he only left 1 time. 1 time after giving Cleveland 7 years. He did so to win rings, and he did. Do people look down on you when you a give a company 7 years and then move to a better job? Why does he leave?

i honestly thought he was gonna dip too, but he seems to comfortable in miami now. if he leaves, i lose all respect for him. he has an organization thats proven to put pieces around him and will remain to put pieces around him.

I was starting to think its a real possibility that he was going to leave, but now I don't think it will happen, I think its 80/20 in favour of Miami, only thing we know for sure is, he will op-out.

He's gonna stay in Miami. It's now much easier to recruit players on a winning franchise unlike in Cleveland. Even a past his prime Wade is still a top 2 SG.
Miami is one of the best cities in the world. Miami would have the same number of NBA titles as the Spurs after this season.

This. Why in the world would he destroy his legacy now by going backwards to a backwards organization with one good pg and zero roll players.
