I found out during the Laker game Sunday that Lebron James will become a unrestricted Free Agent after this season and that got me wondering. Are there any teams out there that are capable of getting this guy away from Cleveland? Are there any teams out there willining to put up that kind of money to bring this guy in? like everybody else I would love it if my favorite team could bring him next year (Lakers lol) but my question is who has the most realistic chance of getting him?Right now my pick is Chicago(of couse if he went there he wouldnt get to be number 23 seeing as how you know who retired that number with that team)
I don't see why LeBron would leave Clevelend. The Cavs are almost 10 games over .500, and all three of their offseason additions have been hugely dissapointing. He's basically playing with a team that has the same talent as when they missed the playoffs last year, and keeping them in. What happens when Hughes comes abck? Marshall and Jones start playing with consistency? They add a better PG? The sky is the linit for that team, and LeBron is in a perfect situation
I can see him leaving if the Cavs fail to give him another star player. Since Big Z is getting up there and all, and he doesnt' wanna turn into KG.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Why would LeBron leave? makes no sense.</div>and why would Larry Hughes leave Washington after having one of the best seasons of career in his last year there and winning a playoff series? Money thats why.
Thing is Cleveland will over him what I would expect as $50+ Million at least, most likely millions more. Add that to his already $8,000,000 and $90 Million shoe contract, and he'll be fine. Plus his $12,000,000 Coke deal.... Money isn't an issue my friend
No, he will stay. That is his home town and the Cavs are looking good now and for the future with Hughes and James and others the Cavs could win a championship sometime.

Guys they're fine right now. their second best player is out and they're 10 games above .500. Bron will only get better as he goes, especially in clutch situations. Trust me, they're fine.
They wasted a ton of money of players this off season that give LeBron a average supporting cast for years.

Time is winding down for this club to do something.

LeBron would only leave if he can go to a team with much more talent and he still commands the ball. I cannot remember the last time a top 10 player left his team via FA. They almost all re-sign.

there have been rumors flying around about him coming to ny. i never believed them for a second. they said he would come here because it is a big market and he would make an incredible amount of money in endorsements. i don't think lebron would ever leave the cavs. i think he loves it there, mainly because it's his hometown.
Who said that? whoever it was, they're retarded bc NYK would never have the cap room for him, and he'd obviously have no interest in joining the knicks.
