LeBron is a man all alone in Cleveland. He NEEDS help. He won't be able to go off for 35/10/10 against the good teams in the NBA. And right now, LeBron's triple doubles are the only things keeping Cleveland afloat.

LeBron is so ready to leave Cleveland it's not funny.

He'll be a Knick. They'll get rid of Isiah and bring in someone with a brain and start laying the groundwork to bring LeBron in.

[Created Player]

Just get the deal doen, that's all I'm saying....

No more talk about a trade, just get it done, Ferry. But you better make the team better in the process. No excuses.

Any Ideas what could be happening? I think it must be the Bucks or Warriors involved.

I thought Lebron wanted a ring?

[The GM]

doubt it would happen, the grizz are trying to reduce payroll and the cavs have no assets on this team to trade for miller they actually said they don't wanna give him away like they did gasol.

[The GM]

I thought Lebron wanted a ring?

Lebron doesn't want a ring, he wants to be a ICON like MJ was.

[JordanL]

Lebron doesn't want a ring, he wants to be a ICON like MJ was.

It shouldn't matter either way... heading to New York would pretty much end that goal.

[dak121]

Cavs want a draft pick on top of the player(s) that they will be recieving?

Danny Ferry must live in some myopic world where great trades automatically fall in his lap. Or he must think that he's working for the Lakers.

[Nygher]

LeBron is going to Brooklyn unless Cleveland puts some real peices around him.

[bomber]

Maybe they are dealing for Gilbert, Redd, or ..

[Lebron23]

I am really excited right now

[2LeTTeRS KD]

Lebron doesn't want a ring, he wants to be a ICON like MJ was.

So why can't he want both, you know like MJ got? Watching the man on the court I dont see what else he could do to make people stop saying dumb **** like this. He plays his heart out every night I don't get the insults just because he says he wants to be a billionaire.

[Cavs2007Champs]

If the Cavs were going to take on a player like Vince Carter or Zach Randolph, I would want a draft pick also.

Maybe they will be taking on 1 bad contract, that's pretty damn bad, or giving up something Ferry thinks is worth more than it is worth.
