Discuss losing LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers perspective
If Lebron doesn't stay in CLE, he'll be stuck coaching a less talented team than the one he was fired from (for reasons still unknown).

Re: Poor Byron Scott
Poor Byron. He doesn't want the gig anymore I'll do it for free.

Re: Poor Byron Scott
Inspired, I can be your "white guy" and draw up plays while you....oh wait, lebron is leaving.

Re: Poor Byron Scott
What do you mean poor Byron Scott? What happens if he coaches that team to go farther than Lebron did, by getting to the Finals or hell, winning it all? He will be a legend. Yeah but I wouldn't expect that to happen either :lol
-
Re: Poor Byron Scott
Poor? No one forced his hand. He accepted the job knowing there was a good chance that LeBron would leave.

Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
I think at this point true fan have accepted the Mistake by the Lake title and LeBron leaving puts a certified signature on that, but regardless of that as I said before I was a Cavaliers fan before LeBron came, and I will be one there afterwards.
Ask for my opinion on LeBron and his decision? I'm highly disappointed of course. He told the city himself he wouldn't leave until he brought a championship to that city. And frankly I think when he said that he felt like they would win it last year, that way he could win it and just up and leave without any love lost between him and the city because he did what he said. Which makes me feel like he was up to ready to leave anyway in the first place.
I don't wish anything bad on the man, he'll be successful or he'll fail at what he wants to accomplish. And he'll live with those accomplishments or consequences, but there's no doubt in my mind with most people this will be viewed upon as him running away from something he promised a city, but to no avail he and the organization themselves failed to bring to the city of Cleveland. His legacy is tarnished in my eyes. I've always been a fan of players that stuck it out their entire careers with a team, even in failure (ie: Reggie Miller). I for one cannot wait TO tune into that first Heat @ Cavaliers game and watch the hate that spew from people's mouths, at what love people will shout from the rafters all for a man who plays a kids game, in a world dominated by business and money.
Good luck Mr. LeBron James. Thanks for the memories and ultimately bringing us back down to earth with your departure. We're used to disappointed the last fifty plus years in every major sport.

I'm sorry Meti.
Don't worry, we lost Shaq to similar circumstances (after leading us to the FInals and then ECF, he just up and bolted), and then gave up T-Mac for Francis.
It'll take some time, but you will rebound. I promise.

Re: Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
Sorry dude. He had to make his best decision. As someone who "lost" Bosh, I can't say I blame him at all. Good luck to all of them.

In the end, it's a business. But that's seemingly why I am fan of those "same team whole career" players because they defy that model of the game. It's a rare occurrence. And to be honest I'm one of the most humble people you'll find on this matter as far as a Cavaliers fan. I'm sure there are people going crazy right now, they're already burning his jersey. But if you love this city, if you love this slum hole you have to look past LeBron leaving, but that organization and team needs there fans more than ever right now, but will they be there? Doubtful.

Re: Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
I'm seriously sorry for you loss. I would have felt like sh!t if Hakeem would have done this to Houston during the prime years of his career. I remember when he signed with Toronto, it felt horrible but it didn't matter much anymore since he was at the end of his career.
This would sting me and unfortunately this sends Cleveland Cavs back to mediocrity. It's sad.

[QUOTE=I am that I am]Hopefully Cavs fans aren't surprised by this and didn't think that he'd actually stay there.[/QUOTE]
I personally wasn't expecting him to stay, but I my heart wanted him too. I've been a fan since '97 of the Cavaliers when I first started watching the NBA. And those were some hard times. Seemingly you feel like it's going to revert back to that now.
-
Re: Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
If I was LeBron I'd tell Cleveland to go **** themselves. Burning his jersey? Why because he wants to go to a better situation. If anything this situation is showing that people are putting TEAM before individuals. So the press conference was a little much as well as all the other hype\bullshit? the NBA is a buisness. It was a smart move look at how huge tonight was in the sports world.

Re: Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
I felt this same pain when Shaq left in 1996 after saying he was staying with Orlando all year, basically meaning he left and we didnt even get anything in return.
Not a good time for Cavs fans, not a good time for basketball fans in general, when they put together these ridiculous 'big three' teams that have the chance to monopolize the league, it makes it hard to want to watch if you are a fan of any other team, your guys play through a long 82 game season plus playoffs knowing at the end of it, you arent going to win shit.

Re: Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
I just think its messed up how he went on TV like he did and did that to us. With him, doing that, it kinda put a little hope in it for me. I never would had thought LeBron would do something like that to his home, my home. His legacy is done. Now, he will never be able to do what Michael and Kobe did because he left the team he built. I look back at the season we had before LeBron was drafted. 17-65 record, the worst in Cavs history. A team made up of Darius Miles and a rookie Carlos Boozer. I guess we head back there. Might as well trade away Mo, Jamison, Andy and rebuild.

That was a pretty classless move by ESPN. I personally think they did that themselves just to get a reaction from LeBron.

Re: Dear Cleveland Cavaliers Fans
But i am surprised why Cleveland fans were foolish enough to think they can ever win at anything, the city offers next to nothing and weather is miserable. Its basically another Detroit at least latter has a rich history.

Cavs fans....Keep ya head up!
I am sorry for what transpired and I was hoping Lebron would stay and bring a championship to your city.
Keep ya head up!
You guys still have a great team in Cleveland, you guys had the best record for two seasons.
See you in the playoffs.
