Rooting for an injury season for Miami or maybe an early playoff exit.

He did his part. He did stay with the Cavs for 4 seasons but management didn't build a championship team. He had enough, time to move on.
Mo Williams, aging Shaq, trade panic for Jamison don't count as building a championship team.

Well there goes him going to Chicago... but I'm happy that he went to Miami. Second place I wanted him to go to other then the Bulls.

Will be fun to see how they work together on a NBA team.

Strange decision. I don't really see them make miracles though, I'm sure there will be some drama from all the pressure they'll have on their shoulders.
Poor Cavs fans must be devastated though, back to square one now...

No, if he wanted to do that he should have stayed in Cleveland.

Unless you're saying Derrick Rose is never going to become a superstar. (And agreeing with everyone else that Boozer isn't one.)

Yeah right, if he went to Chicago you'll be proclaiming how great he is.

The Heat and Timberwolves have agreed on a trade that will send Michael Beasley to Minnesota.

Minnesota will absorb Beasley's salary using their cap space and will send a 2011 second round pick to Miami.

CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert says LeBron James "quit" during the playoffs and should be accountable for his actions.

Gilbert, who posted a letter to Cavs fans on the team's website shortly after James announced he plans to sign with Miami, tells The Associated Press late Thursday night that he feels "personally betrayed" by James and that it's "accountability time."

In a phone interview with the AP, Gilbert says "people have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."

Gilbert says James quit on the Cavs during their second-round series against the Boston Celtics, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to eliminate Cleveland.

Holy crap.

Wow, Gilbert isn't pulling any punches. Can't blame him for being upset and he's certainly got a point about the way LeBron handled his decision and subsequent announcement, but there are some pretty bold statements there; not the least of which is the guarantee the Cavs will win a championship before the Heat. And as has already been pointed out, part of the reason LeBron is leaving has to be the shortcomings and mismanagement of Gilbert and his appointed brass. Still, I'm interested to see what else he has to say.

Bro Miami will be the 2011 NBA Champions.. That's for sure.. This is really amaizing.. Bosh, Wade, Lebron, they got championship on their hand..

Exactly. I'd like to think that LeBron will get less media coverage now that he's made 'the decision'. But I doubt it.
