I can't get the image Bron sitting there talking to his agent like "you told them to trade for Napier? And they did it? :lolbron:" out of my head. That conversation probably took place at some point:sadcam:

Breh...can you imagine...Pat Riley is blowing Bron phone up, texting him...getting no response...and then all of a sudden...he turns on the TV and he sees reports saying "Lebron's agent tells cleveland to clear max cap space"...and then not even an hour later he sees "Cleveland gives away Jarret Jack AND a 2016 first round pick"...

Riley had to be just staring at the television like

Then he text Bron one last time "Hey Bron I just saw on ESPN your agent told cleveland to clear max space and they gave away Jarrett Jack and a draft pick...haven't heard anything from you,.you got some time to talk?"

Then spend the entire night sitting next to all his phones like

what's even crazier is that when I read the no response line I double checked it was not @Walt or an alias he created :laff:




I can't blame James though. You can't be cheap with the best player in the world and keep asking him to take paycuts.

You attempted to say that LeBron was probably undecided on where he wanted to go, and I gave you circumstances saying otherwise. So who really gives a fukk about a timeline? Bottom line it happened, which lends credence to the fact that he knew what he was doing all along. There was too many pieces to the puzzle for this to be some rash decision.
Doggy nobodys disputing that he didn't do things the right way. What i'm saying is he doesn't owe us anything and we should have expected that and been ready

I honestly believe that he probably wasn't sure what he wanted to do at first. But then who knows? You don't know. I don't know. Maybe he decided to give Pat Riley a taste of his own medicine by delaying the decision announcement just so that he can plot with Gilbert so we would miss out on free agents the same way Wade did the the Bulls back in 2010. If you didnt hear Wade and Bosh knew damn well they were going to Miami. So they misled the Bulls to believe that they was actually interested just so the Bulls wouldn't go after Joe Johnson to pair up with D-Rose thus giving us less competition from CHI.

It's a competition, B. It's sports. You win some and you 'll lose some. It could be Lebron wanted to delay Riley just enough so that he couldn't recover on time to have a shot at Melo. Gave us a taste of our own medicine.:manny:

All i'm saying is i have no reason to have no ill feelings towards the cat. Some say people that wanna hate and are prone to hate will find reasons to hate. Again, from now on Lebron is another opponent to me. There will be no rooting against him on my part except when he plays the Heat. That is all

They werent asking Bron to take a paycut tho. Pat & Micky were fully ready to pay Bron the max like he was looking for.

I dont know why these cats keep saying that stupid shyt or where that dumb shyt even originated from. They were prepared to offer LeBron whatever he wanted. Hell, him and Wade were the ones who initiated the paycut 4 years ago, not Riley and not Arison.

Just another reason to make Riley & Micky seem like the main reason's for Bron leaving. :yeshrug:

what's with lebron never speaking to people... that's kind of a bytch ass move and i don't even hate on lebron

cavs owner said he did the same thing to him... he was calling, texting, emailing the whole time... NO response

that's just disrespect.. it's one thing to reply "hey i'm with the family, i need time alone" but you just let people you say you respect, blow up your phone, and you don't even give them the common courtesy to reply back
