    Doesn't work that way in the NBA where contracts are guaranteed. I'm sure the owners would LOVE to be able to break contracts. Don't you think Paul Allen and Neil Olshey would love to be able to break one or two they signed last summer? I know I wish they could, and it's not even my money.

    I'd bet $100 he leaves. He hates the owner and the fact that Kyrie said what he said makes it even more believable. This is Lebrons makeup he doesn't see his owner making enough moves even though they have one of the largest payrolls in NBA. Lebron will leave and create his next super team.

    Sorry, and I'm not trying to be a dick, but I read and respond to threads linearly. When a thread like this breaks and everyone is responding fast and furiously, it's hard to keep up. Multiple posters are all typing at the same time, so some responses seem outdated as soon as they get posted.

    I asked myself. I don't conduct my business that way.

    Except if I don't honor a contract, I have bad repercussions. What's the point of a contract if it's not honored?

    Reminds me of Tommy Boy and the guarantee conversation: I’ll tell you what, you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bull’s ass, but I’d rather take the butcher’s word for it.

    I'm not saying how I feel about contracts, I'm talking about how the country "honors" them. As a whole, we break contracts all the time.

    Dunno how legit this dude is. His Twitter profile says he's an official NFL and NBA media member and has written for ESPN and CBS Sports. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Good work! I'm impressed! In the recording industry, it takes 1 million units sold to go platinum. You've been a busy boy out there on 82nd.

    I will laugh at Houston fans though.... and the Knicks will actually get something of value for Melo. That would be amazing. I just think he'd be stupid to go there.

    Don't read anything he says he's full of shit. He piggybacks stories to make up his own rumors. I learned the hard way when I bought into his nerlens Noel/Portland bullshit.
