I'm starting to like the Lakers now.

More importantly, what the hell was Damon Jones doing in LeBron's house at the time of the decision?

I can't believe how many people are already starting to hate the Heat and Bron. Bron's choice was indeed a great one. He didn't go after the money nor popularity. Instead, he went for the friendship and the chance to win. He actually scrifised to be the Heat. Remember? We all thought his ego was too big to go to Miami. He's actually risking his legacy now for the chance to win. That's admirable and courageous in many ways. I can understand people bashing on Lebron because he didn't stay or go to your favorite team, but it was indeed a brave decision that took a lot of thoughts.

If Wade and Bron chose the Bulls, I wouldn't have held it against them either. Same has to apply here in this case.

[shadowgrin]

If LeBron went to the Cavs people would be saying he went after the money instead of mentioning LeBron's loyalty to the team.
If LeBron went to the Bulls people would be saying he has a huge ego and can't play alongside established stars like Wade & Bosh.

For me, and the others I guess, the hate stems from LeBron being an attention whore and the multitude of bandwagoners that are about to appear like fucking mushrooms.

[benji]

I keep thinking your posts are mine from weeks ago I forgot about.

If you start using the bowdown emoticon we're going to have a problem.

[shadowgrin]

Bowing down is over. Time for the Mamba to bring down the joke of a team that is the Miami Hate.

[marinmarin]

As the Reggie Miller said"Can we put him now in the same sentence with Larry Bird,Magic and Mj?-NO"

[NovU]

the multitude of bandwagoners that are about to appear like fucking mushrooms.

inevitable. I'm not going to welcome most of Heat bandwagoners that much myself but not gonna welcome either bandwagoning haterz just because Heat became the team to beat.

u and me will have a long season, if not for a decade.

[shadowgrin]

Kobe will bring down The Queen, The Whistle Magnet, and RuPaul.

[Phil89]

So what do Cleveland do now that LeBron is gone?

[shadowgrin]

Win an NBA championship even before LeBron gets one.

[Martti.]

Loving all of this.

[antho]

And while all this free agency signing and player moving happens, my precious Sixers biggest non-draft move this off-season was trading off Dalembert. haha

[shadowgrin]

You have a great 2K Association going and you're a Sixers fan too? Welcome to the forums.

[deihatein]

I can't tell whether it was benji or shadowgrin, there posts makes me want to become a Laker "fan"

[shadowgrin]

Get used to it. I'm willing to stick with this one until the Heat are eliminated out of the playoffs or win 70 games or be the NBA champs.
Or if Evan Turner turns out to be awesome, which I'll make him as my sig.

[hova-]

Actually I don't like LeBron's decision as I think he should have won a Championship with Cleveland. Loyalty and the skill to turn a team into a championship winning team makes a real superstar.

But what makes it kind of amusing is that we will see a really exciting team, at least on paper. These three guys on one team is kinda video game like and that's exciting.

So all in all my respect for LeBron went down by a huge margin, but Miami will be a cool team to watch and exciting to see how it turns out.

The new-look Heat is absolutely unstoppable in 2K10. Open dunk or free throws on every possession.

[Sportsgamer]

can sb please post a possible heat roster for next season? want to throw them into 2k10 and see what happens

Hey haha! Yeah I loved the Sixers since I started following, thank Iverson for that haha.

I'm hoping that Turner turns out to be great.. if not.. well then, I don't know but I just hope that they go well.

The new-look Heat is absolutely unstoppable in 2K10. Open dunk or free throws on every possession.

And yeah the first thing most of my friends did today after the news of LeBron was making their Live 10 and 2K10 Heat Teams, Bosh/Wade/LeBron haha.

Wade / Bosh / LeBron / Mike Miller / Mario Chalmers / Beasley - I think that's all that's on contract so far? I'm not sure if Millers on contract, but I think I saw Benji post a link saying he signed a five year 30 million$ deal?

[Martti.]

Beasley is going to Minnesota to clear money for James.

And Chalmers has changed his number #15 so James could have #6.

[antho]

Wow, that's a steal for Minnesota.
A second rounder so far for Beasley :O
But, if they get like a good draft number next year.. does that mean the Heat could swap theirs for that?

[Kenny]

I would have prefered for them to stick with Beasley. Bosh, Wade and LBJ could have taken the pressure off him a lot and he could develop his game without as much scrutiny as he had before. But in saying that, Minnesota is a nice place for him to turn it around.

[NovU]

Beasley's gone to the Wolves for the picks, I think, no more on Heat roster.

Win an NBA championship even before LeBron gets one.

I am hating this bullshit betrayal talks on Lebron. Idiots acting like a woman dumped on the wedding day.

Does Dan Gilbert actually believe he's done everything right for Lebron, and why is he talking like Lebron was his or theirs for granted. No respect for the player that has done a lot for the franchise, NO fucking wonder why Lebron deserted them. At least, Dan Gilbert deserves it. I am not even going to mention about sacrifises made by all Heat's big 3, but CLE fans gotta respect a player's decision as it came with much sacrifise and consideration. Of course being an attention whore raised frustration and anticipation level, but CLE played to it the most. After all, it was only his decision to make. The Heat fans I knew most told me they wouldn't hold against Wade if he was to leave. Have some class, fucking Dan Gilbert and his followers. To me, you sound more like crying over the money you could have made off Lebron if he re-signed.
