My issue with LeBron wasn't him leaving, it's the fact that he demanded that lame ass 1 hour special and shat all over the city and team that made him. Like I said, I don't agree with what either did, but at least Melo is giving them a warning and giving them a chance to acquire some talent, unlike LeBron who left his team in the dark all off season only to leave.

Like I said, that's the only reason people act like it was so bad because he built it up so much. I never said he wasn't egotistical.
& also like I said, Melo is giving them a warning; but Denver can't get much from the Knicks, so Denver is still inevitably fucked.
& ALSO like I said, even if LeBron gave them "warning" (if that was even possible), they had no alternative; they'd be in the same situation. He couldn't be traded prior to last year because why could the Cavs trade him after a 60+ win season; he was their best chance of winning. People knew all of last season & the season before that, that he was either leaving or staying. Then even if he IMMIDIATLEY told them that he was leaving after they lost, the Cavs STILL couldn't do anything about it. They, like the Nuggets will soon be, were inevitably fucked.

Ken Griffey Jr was Seattle's biggest superstar and essentially saved the Mariners from going the same route as the Sonics, but when he wanted to be traded (last season in his contract before free agency) he straight up told the front office that he wanted out. As much as that pissed me off as a Mariners fan, in retrospect, I'm glad he told the team that, cause we made the playoffs the next two years with Mike Cameron playing all star ball and other players we got in the trade contributing. I know that we're talking different sports but I'm only making the point that if a player wants out, then you trade him and get what you can. Even if the trade isn't great, it's a hell of a lot better than thinking a guy is gonna resign only to have him leave the team, especially in an egotistical way like LeBron did.

I guess, but there is no way LeBron was getting traded. The Cavs went into the season with expectations to win the Finals; even if it was up in the air about LeBron's future, they knew if they won the Finals he was going to likely stay. They were stuck between a rock & a hard place with the only option of winning the Finals to insure that he would come back.
All I'm saying is Free Agency happens every season in every sport & people come & go & nobody ever cares. It's "damn, great move by...'insert team here'". LeBron goes through Free Agency & it's like he did the unthinkable. Take away the hour special & it's your typical offseason pickup, just greater talent.
