    He said he wants to go somewhere where he can win a bunch of championships. If our team stays together, I don't see how we won't at least get his agent to listen to our offer. However, he might want a "bigger market" city. I don't really see why he would need that, but who knows.

    to most, the thought would be crazy.

    but i'm pretty sure crazy kp knows

    if he can't make lebron a blazer, he better prevent him from landing to a team with 1-2 more superstars such as wade and bosh.

    otherwise, we're doomed.

    For titles, Portland is the most logical place with the talent KP has accumulated. On top of that, market size aside, the city of Portland absolutely blows the city of Cleveland away.

    Salary cap wise, its impossible to bring in more than 2 super stars that you don't hold the rights to (which would mean you could go over the cap)... LeBron will get 25mil/yr?... that leaves 35mil for the rest of your team? They would have to get at least 45mil UNDER the cap to sign 2, when the cap is around 60mil... so unless they will have no players on their team, they aren't going to be able to get 3 of this caliber.

    I think LeBron and Bosh is possible, which scares me in D'Antoni's system... Bron would be getting around 35 a game in that system if the defenses couldn't center everything on him (because of Bosh).

    I would enjoy the finals battles between us and them.

    Demanding a huge salary is not the best way to win MULTIPLE rings. If Lebron is willing to take less, our core will gladly do the same. Dynasty. Is he?

    I thought in newer versions of the CBA a contract like 25 million couldn't be had. I mean, Gilbert Arenas signed for like 15 million a year or something. 30 million for two players wouldn't be that big of deal. Especially if they were willing to go over the cap.
