After Lebron wrote in his letter that he's "committed" to the Cavs for the long term. What a hypocrite :roll:

At least Melo and Bosh have the balls to commit long term to their teams. James is leaving himself an opt-out option after season one to bolt. As soon as things go south in Cleveland, he's going south and taking his talents to South Beach. Oh wait, he's already done that before

What's his reasoning for a 1-year opt-out clause? Can he opt-out to give enough room to the Cavs to sign someone like Love (assuming not traded) next summer? Could they still give him a max after they signed Love? Or would the Cavs lose his Bird rights if he opts out?

That's ironic coming from an idiot such as yourself. Lebron has opt out after first season. Not after two seasons. That means he can be a free agent as soon as next summer. Not sure if you've been living under a rock this summer or not but Melo and Bosh could easily both get max 5 year contracts next summer.

I am sure it has been pointed out, but OP is an idiot. The difference is that no one would give melo or bosh a max in two years, so they had to take all the money they could. Lebron will easily be maxed out when the new tv deal (which will probably add 10-20 million to the cap) kicks in.



My only question is this. I thought bird rights were only for 3 year contracts..... so, the cavs wont be able to go over the cap to sign him? I am sure I am wrong.

Flexibility never hurts. Any kind. If it was an option and the Cavs were willing to give it, why not take it? This is pro sports. Loyalty on its own should mean little.

Now it's on the Cavs management to not screw up the rest of the roster and build a winner.

The Cavs want Lebron long term. Lebron wants to commit long term just as he stated in his letter. But when it actually comes down to it, he didn't. Talk is cheap. When you talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk. That's what people are upset about.

Lebron got the best deal for himself when it comes to flexibility. Himself. That's all that should matter when it comes to things like these. No player in any sport owes a team or city anything. Fans need to adjust their expectations and understand how things work.

Exactly. There is no risk for Lebron. He will get another max deal or whatever the hell he wants in 2 years. Easily. Melo after another 2 years? I think it's possible but why risk it? Bosh after another 2 years? Absolutely not.

This isn't about loyalty. There is no loyalty in pro sports. This was a business decision and a very smart one by Lebron. Why not give yourself the option to bolt if things somehow completely fall apart in Cleveland? If the team is ok including that in the contract, of course you take it. There is no downside to the players in having player options in a contract.

Can anyone actually read? What is it that you don't people understand? Lebron's opt out isn't after another 2 years. it's after ONE year. That's next summer. Melo could EASILY get a max offer next summer. Bosh too.

Did they ask for an opt-out? Would the teams have given them that? Who knows. That's just speculation. Lebron and/or his agents are smart enough to give himself that extra flexibility in case things go to shit in Cleveland or something else happens with the cap and he wants to sign a new deal next year.

I realize the original intent here was a 100% troll thread to discredit Lebron on some stupid notion that loyalty actually matters and he's obligated to show that to Cleveland (he's not). He could've toned it down in the letter if anything, I guess. In the end, this just shows how smart Lebron was with this contract. Total backfire.

No because Melo and Bosh actually have the balls to commit long term to a franchise. It's funny because people have been questioning Bosh's manhood for awhile now. But with this move, he's actually committing himself to his team for 5 years, for better or worse. Can't say the same about Lebron.

If he opts out after 1 year, the Cavs will have to renounce Thompson, but in theory we could add a player in the 6-8 million level, depending on how much he took, and the cap rises.

If he signed for 14 million it would net him a 24.5 million the next season, 15 would net him 26.25, 16 wouod get him 28, and so one.

The early bird rights allow the Cavs to sign him for 175% of his previous contract.

Also, Lebron having opt outs basically just keeps the Cavs front office on their toes. They can't BS around like they did last time they had Lebron.

You people are absolute FOOLS if you think Lebron wouldnt leave again if he thought it was in his best interests. This guy is the most selfish guy in sports history. He doesnt give a fck about peoples feeling. He is cold blooded. He betrayed Cleveland in a way never before seen in the NBA, and when he thought Miami was declining left them too. Now he signs what is essentially a 1 year deal with a opt in included, and you are using a tv deal that comes into effect in 2 years as reason for him only committing to 1 year?

Einstein once said the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. When the career of Lebron James has exposed many NBA fans for being delusional when their emotions come into their thinking. If you think Lebron is a guy to forgive what Cleveland did to him, you are sadly mistaken. He feels he was justified to leave, and the way they treated him, from Dan Gilbert all the way down to the man on the street, you think Lebron forgets? Who remembers that time after 2011 where everyone and their momma were raggin on Lebron, the ring jokes, the choker label, the stream of hate emanating from all of his haters, including the city of Cleveland. Didnt Lebron say, and I am paraphrasing here, that he writes all of this stuff down in his mind? That he never forgets what has been said about him and by whom?

Lebron does not care about Cleveland the way people think he does. The best predictor of the future is history. Lebron will not stay in Cleveland past these two years if they do not win a championship or look like they are not in a position to win.

after thinking about it, one thing is for sure, lebron wanted a max paycheck this year and he got it

he can opt out next year to get more help that all betas need by signing for a penny no more or no less(what ever the minimum salary is), literally and get another max contract slots available for other stars to sign
he then would play that year out on a penny and will have the 2 year minimum needed under his belt to gain his bird rights to sign a max deal under the new salay cap/tv deals

along with 3 possible superstars ( if love gets traded)

thats 1 more than what he had in miami

Melo and Bosh both cannot afford to not take the max they can currently get. They are not on Lebrons level and they cant gamble that they will still be considered max contract players in a few years. Lebron is in a unique situation where he is has so much leverage because he is the best in the world that he can afford to gamble and expect max money in a few years.

Actually they can. Because after this season, both Melo and Bosh could easily get max contract offers if they only signed 1 year max deals. You'd be in denial to think they'd be done after this season and that no teams would offer them the max after this season.

If Lebron and the Cavs get bounced in the first round by lets say the Hornets?

Would you all be confident he would stay 100%?

Why would LeBron sign for 5 years and then be held hostage by the Cavs management, who dont exactly have a great reputation

This makes management stay on their toes and constantly try and improve the team

Why should he?

Because in the letter he supposedly cares about righting his wrongs and talks about the commitment he has to the city of Cleveland.

Stop being an idiot. You know that he signed that contract because he's trying to make as much money as possible.

"Next season, James will make $21,573,398. But if next offseason's max opening salary is projected higher than what James will bring in, he could opt out and take the bigger deal for one year while still being a free agent for the 2016 offseason and new TV deal."

This is where people are missing the point.

Lebron isn't meant to be coming back so he can make bucket loads money, the whole thing about him coming back was about the commitment to Cleveland and cleaning up past mistakes, that was according to this letter.

Now a man who is sincere about what he wrote specifically in the letter does not leave a franchise hanging after leaving them before and signing a 1 year guaranteed contract.

Its all bullshit.

He came back knowing the love trade would happen, he left Wiggins and Bennett out of his letter :lol lebron is all about himself these days...

I hope so. As much as dislike lebron, I'd hate to see people giving him death threats etc if he left Cleveland high and dry again...it wouldn't be pretty.
