    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting nextlevelgame:</div><div class="quote_post">As much as I'd love to see Bron and Jefferson play together, this is not going to happen. For one thing, he'd be a RFA, and the Cavs would be dumb not to match any contract. Even if he does the one year option and becumes a UFA, I doubt being friends with Jay-Z has much impact. Jay owns like 5% of the team? He's just a marketing tool for Ratner. For Lebron, playing at home and bringing them fame is an athlete's dream.

    As for signing players, I'd like them to sign Michael Redd this summer, if possible. I know there's speculation that Cleveland would do it since it's Redd's home state as well, but I hope he comes to the Nets. We could use his range and efficient play. I like the Stromile Swift idea as well, but probably would prefer a move for Tyson Chandler. I've been watching this kid and he really is just waiting to break out. His work ethic is what every team wants and if he bulks up he should be a real force in the league. In the draft, get a point gaurd and trade Kidd to a contender for depth.</div>

    Just remember that him and Jay-Z are really good friends and that Jay-Z got him to play in the Rucker Park street ball tourney but disqualified. But is a little wishful thinking

    I would think the camradarie between his and teammates, home friends, would be much stronger.

    That would be true

    That would be true but the power of money talks in the NBA. Youth and money go hand in hand.

    Money? You know that Cleveland can offer him the most money, and they no doubt will.
