    Remember the words LeBron said after the Cavs fired head coach John Lucas. "I will NEVER play for this team."

    So what does LeBron do now? Does he eat his words or does he pull a Steve Francis and demand a trade? What happens if LeBron decides to sit the year out, does he lose his contract money with Nike, Upperdeck, etc.?

    Does Cleveland give into his demands and trade LeBron? What happens to Ricky Davis and Darius Miles now? Is LeBron good enough to start at the PG spot for the Cavs?

    A lot of questions. I think it would have been a lot easier if Jerry West and Memphis got this pick. Cleveland could then select Darko and Detroit would get 'Melo.

    Most likely LeBron and the Cavs make up, but this could get interesting if LeBron sticks to his words.

    Van Gundy or Silas are the 2 coaches the Cavs are negotiating with. Both will be great for LeBron. His development is crucial for him to reach his potential, and these are 2 of the best coaches in the league to develop him.

    the lebron interview was lame. first he says he's used to traveling because of his high school games and it won't be a problem. then he says his biggest adjustment will be handling the traveling. so which is it?

    i like melo's demeanor better. "the draft was rigged, but don't quote me on that." pretty funny.

    So who is the odd man out in Cleveland?

    Darius Miles
    Dajuan Wagner

    Well with Lebron here that mean Darius Miles is getting out of Cleveland( [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] ). The Cavs wouldn't want to trade Ricky D or Dajuan Wagner to replace him with another PG and he hasn't done a full season so they'll put Lebron at SG.

    Lebron hasnt played a single game yet. hes not in a position to demand anything. Hes gonna be delighted with every minute the cavs give him and he ebtter make sure he plays damn well to live up to all the hype so they dont trade him

    Ricky Davis won't allow himself to play second fiddle to LeBron so he has to go. Why does everyone think it will be a great trio with DaJuan when Ricky Davis is one of the most immature and selfish players in the league? Also, LeBron never directly said he will never play for Clevland, one of the media's "sources" said that LeBron stated that. We don't know for sure if he did or not unless I missed something.
