    Gary... I hear one to my west...

    So, he is headed to Miami... that roster is going to be pretty interesting.. Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and LeBron James.... while they are going to be the clear favorite in the East... it is a double edged sword. If LeBron goes to Miami and they don't win a championship within two years his "legacy" is going to be shot... and if he does win it will take a hit because he "needed two all-star players with him to get it done".

    Out of the big three, it seriously wouldn't suprise me if Bosh has the biggest/most impactful season.

    I think the East will go through Orlando, or Chicago not Miami. Outside shot of Boston.

    Are you burning your jeresy? I now see flames from the east.

    I think they win the east.

    Bitter much? :p You can't be serious. The only way Miami isn't in the Finals next year is injuries to the big 3.

    Just felt you were lumping him in with everyone else that hasn't won a championship...yet.

    He's "better" then that....talent wise.

    Yeah, what a bum. I'm sure everyone in Ohio was hoping he would take his lame act elsewhere.

    Dan Gilbert is really showing some class about this whole ordeal.

    You don't get it.

    I AM.

    You're either:

    1. Someone who's won a championship.
    or
    2. An also ran.

    That's funny, he isn't getting paid like an "also ran".

    It's NOT that simple. If it was, players would get paid regarding their championships.

    Let me make this a little more easy to understand (if that's possible)....

    You have two groups of people......

    1. People who've gotten laid in their life.
    2. Virgins.

    Just because you're a "hot" virgin.......it doesn't change your status. You're still a virgin.

    LeBron is a championship virgin. Or...some might (and did) call him an "also-ran" (the group OTHER THAN THE winner).

    Correct (Dennis Rodman). Dennis Rodman is NOT an also-ran.

    Appreciate the condescending approach.

    My point is that he's NOT just another "also ran"...if that's the term you want to use.

    If you think he is, you're foolish.

    I'm not being condescending. I'm just having a hard time fathoming how anyone could take an "either / or" equation - and come up with something OTHER THAN "either" or "Or".

    That's all. Sorry.

    Honestly no bitterness here. I don't want a player who doesnt want to be here..

    Besides Delonte West is my favorite Cav!

    3 superstars and 2 other starting nobodies and a bench of nobodies doesn't equal conference champions to me. When they add some talent (better than the league minium players they will most likely have this year) to the roster to go along with these 3 guys they will be a force.

    I agree buckeye.

    I really do think, that other vets around the league will want to come and join in the fun, for less $.

    They may have started a colt!

    If that here....:D I think I caught 3.5 seconds of the finales while flipping past to another channel.

    For me basketball season ends with march madness.
