LeBron is opting out of last 2 year with Miami to become free agent

In a little upset at the lower representation of whites on the nba rosters. I think there should be mandates requiring a certain number of non-black players to be on the team, as well as a certain number of minutes played. I believe that the non- black players (Asian, Latin, white, etc) should be paid on equal terms to the black players.

The Wal Mart in my area ( nice part of town) has almost all blacks as employees. Why no Asian or Hispanic?

Can't win? Have you been living under a rock for the past few years?

LEB wants in with the Clips or Lakes.

Has your head been in the sand the last few years? When LeBron left Cleveland he said said they win "not 1, not 2, not 3...not 7". 2 championships is not the same as 8 and he's already bailing for another team. He's lost more championships than he's won, so yes, in this context he can't win.

I didn't address what Lebron SAID. I was responding to the ludicrous suggestion that he's not a winner. Try to keep up. And learn to read.

OOPS! It looks like none of you know what you're talking about. Lebron is likely to stay with the Heat (ask the bookies), and if anything, he'll be taking a pay CUT from his already below market value contract in order to give the team some salary space. If Bosh and Wade do the same (especially Wade, dude looks horrible lately), they'll have a great chance next year, maybe picking up Lowry and Shumpert. If not, then they'll come up short again because they'll have a bench full of scrubs and no point guard, or they'll miss the playoffs due to Lebron leaving because the rest of the big 3 isn't willing to take a paycut and the Heat are exposed as the Cavs.

I hope he takes his talents to Turkey. Wouldn't that be something.

He'd get his 8 championships. The nba marketing machine would shit a brick.

I recall him saying something about "his" fans when he split Cleveland.

So grandiose to suggest that there are LeBron James fans, as opposed to Cavs fans.

And they'd go with him to Miami...

That's mind boggling to me. Who over the age of 3 would do that?

The guy is an ass.

This guy gets it

Wow, someone doesn't understand the business side of the NBA. Let me guess, you're a shift manager at McDonalds? Go back to bitching about Sharkeisha getting pregnant again and you needing a new fry cook and leave the NBA talk to the grown ups who understand the business side.

LeBron might want to sit down and have a talk with the eventually future owner of the Clippers, Steve Ballmer. Ballmer has money he is willing to spend. LeBron likes Chris Paul, Doc Rivers, and Los Angeles. Blake Griffin seems like a Tim Duncan type. He was willing to make adjustments for Chris Paul, and would do the same for LeBron.

Ironically his best bet now is back to Cleveland. They have enough cap space to sign him and either Melo or Kevin Love and they will have a starting line-up that looks like this-

PG- Irving

SG- Wiggins

SF- Melo or LeBron

PF- LeBron or K Love

C- Hawes

With an excellent new coaching hire in Blatt who is a master of the Princeton offense. Wiggins won't be asked to do too much too soon and they will be a contender right away. That will give them a Big 4.

LMAO, ummm no. You don't sign big time free agents when your owner is a total idiot and a vindictive douchebag who blames players on his poor management skills.

Ballmer is not the owner of the Clippers. Donald Sterling is.

Quoted just to show the boards how not only racist, but how damn stupid can a person can get. You play the best athletes for the sport that you can find, regardless of race.

LMAO ummm, no. You don't sign players when you are a total idiot who doesn't own a team.

Having said that Gilbert would be an obstacle to that, but I don't think it would be a deal breaker. The biggest obstacle would be can LeBron convince Melo or Love to join him in Cleveland for some rings. If not he's not likely to do it. Neither of them has any connection to Cleve, but are desperate for rings. But a Big 4 like that would be a huge for quite a few years.

Carlos, you have to be crazy to think Cleveland has more fans than Lebron James, even discounting those in Miami.

And yes, as another poster pointed out, to take the paycut that the OP suggested, he needed to opt out of his current contract, so you might want to start another thread extolling his unselfishness and desire to win over $.

What part about "the eventually future owner of the Clippers, Steve Ballmer" is it that you fail to understand?
