    How sad was it that he was the best of the Portland/Oregonian's sports "journalists" at the time?

    Speaking of total hacks, did Canzano retire or something? I haven't heard a word out of his arsehole face all season.

    getting Kevin Love and giving up what they did is IMO turning into a fiasco and I "love it"!

    I don't think he will bolt that soon either. Not since he forced the Love trade. Now I would not put it past Love to bolt........

    He is not going anywhere but he will make sure CLE gets rid of some players and gets some others that he wants.

    Re: Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

    I think Cleveland made moves such as acquiring Love with the input of LeBron. I don't think there's anyway he leaves this summer; he'll at least give them another year. But what if Love bolts for the Lakers?

    There is a reason players should not be GM's. Coaches too. Stan the GM is really hurting Stan the coach. Doc the GM is screwing Doc the coach with a flawed roster that has little flexibility going forward. Players need to play; coaches need to coach; GM's need to make changes to the roster. They are all extremely difficult competitive jobs and its arrogant to think one person can succeed at two of them.

    Re: Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

    I don't think I'd even want LeBron here. He's always been one of my favorite players since he entered the league and he has an unselfish game. But if we won a title it would be all about what LeBron did. Our team is loaded right now and we are a contender. All our players are in their prime or improving except Steve Blake. Maybe its a long shot we win but I'd rather try and fail at something difficult than succeed at something easy. Adding LeBron wouldn't be a satisfying path for this franchise in my opinion.

    Re: Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

    This is my main drawback with LBJ but on the flip side winning a ring might trump that concern for me in the long run

    Re: Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

    The Heat put the big 3 together and it was still extremely difficult for them to win the title.They are lucky to win more than 1 as the Spurs choked 2013 away. Even in 2012 the Celtics had a 3-2 lead over Miami with game 6 in Boston and the Heat had to rally to win that series.

    It wouldn't be easy. It's never easy.

    I could care less if this is what "LBJ did". If bringing LBJ equals 2-3 titles, I do it any day, tree times on Tuesday!

    Re: Cap space plan 2015: LeBron James

    The Heat had glaring weaknesses, especially at center. Dame, LBJ and Aldridge would be a much better big 3 than anything the Heat put together.

    Only this fan base would overthink about acquiring LeBron James
