I wish I wrote this... LeBron hardly a king

@Halu: If you think LeBron is Wade's sidekick, I literally don't know what to say to you. He's younger and better. I'm not even getting into an argument here. LeBron is clearly the better player with the greater future. You're acting as if Pippen was as good as LeBron and Wade is as good as Jordan. STOP THAT, IT IS JUST WRONG!
@MDogg: Lakerfans like you are just mad cause you have no chance to win titles anymore. I'm not feeling sad for you, cause youre some spoiled asses who got Shaq as a FA, Bryant for Divac and Gasol for Kwame. So fuck you. Get a taste of your own medicine, you spoiled fucks.
@Remedy: 100% agree

Based on the way the Cavs owner acted after the announcement, I can hardly blame LeBron for leaving. Dan Gilbert is pretty fuckin classless and Im sure this wasnt an isolated incident. He's mad cus LeBron wouldnt take his calls or texts after the season ended. As if LeBron needed to. He bashed his ONLY superstar during the playoffs and you think he is supposed to give a shit about your texts? lol I probably would have left too. Not because its Cleveland (well...yeah...Cleveland sucks and all), but because that shows a complete lack of loyalty, respect, and class on the part of the owner.
Im not a big fan of Lebron going to Miami. Id like to see him win a championship without Wade and Bosh. Or at least without Wade. But so be it.

Okay, the Shaq as a FA thing, he was going to re-sign with Orlando but Orlando had a poll and most said Shaq was not worth the money, so he left for LA. Originally Orlando offered Shaq 54million to stay, then Alonzo Mourning got 100million, Shaq wanted that, LA offered him 120million, Orlando offered 115million, and a poll was ran to see if the people thought Shaq was worth 115million, and the majority said no. Shaq himself said he was willing to take less money to stay, after all Orlando had a better supporting cast with Penny over Nick Van Exel or Eddie Jones, and Horace Grant over Elden Campell. But Shaq was angry and hurt, and we all found out later in his career that Shaq wears his feelings very poorly. There were no rallies to keep Shaq, but a lot of, good, he was too expensive anyways.
Kobe Bryant for Vlade Divac. This actually had nothing to do with Kobe at all. It was about dumping money to get Shaq, and Vlade was very expensive. Charlotte was wanting Vlade to fill the whole Alonzo Mourning left when he was traded in 1995. The Hornets were built to win now, and had no time to waste on a high school kid, which at that time high school players were usually benched because it only happened once in a great while. The Hornets had Anthony Mason and Glen Rice up front, and they wanted a dominate center to help up front, not a high school guard to ride the bench for 2 years. In the long run, worst mistake ever, but at the time, it was an even trade because Kobe could have either been Kobe, or Kwame Brown, the big high school bust.
Gasol for Kwame, Kobe said build around me, or trade me. Lakers choice to build around, and the Memphis Grizzlies are in danger of going bankrupted traded their highest paid player for expiring contracts and future cap room. They used all that cap room on Rudy Guy, so obviously the people running that team are not smart.
If LA does win during Wade's career, that's still 5 titles in 11 years, that's a number most any fan will take. Still, the match ups look good against the current Heat roster. Still they need to fill holes, but Kobe on Wade, Artest on LeBron and Bynum and Gasol on Bosh with Odom playing the wild card, I like our chances.

The Lakers aren't a GREAT team. Kobe is getting very old and needed to be bailed the fuck out in a Game 7 of the Finals. Even though he is the most competitive motherfucker on earth, he's skipping the World Championships because he realizes how damn old he is getting and how his body REALLY REALLY needs a rest to regenerate and heal itself. Fisher? Lol. Artest? He had some very important lucky 3s in the last game, but he is still a head case. Bynum? Always hurt in the playoffs. Very hit and miss. Odom? Most inconsistent player in the game. The Lakers are not GREAT. The 2001 Lakers were. The 87 Lakers were. The 2011 Lakers? :X
