Title: THE DECISION 2
Post by: Townhallsavoy on June 24, 2014, 11:56:52 AM
Lebron opts out.

Shut down the world.  Clear HBO's schedule.  Charge up the 30 for 30 cameras.  Get Spielberg on the phone. 

The King is back on the market.

Dude was making around 19/20 mill a year in a Heat Uni. And is arguably the best in the game. That puts him about 9th in the NBA in pay. Dwade and Bosh also make the same amount (many don't know this). Me thinks the King's eyes were just opened that he is underpaid and that two other teammates are seriously overpaid. If Miami wants him back, they are gonna pay market price this time. No way he is going to sit around making the same as Bosh and Wade next year after what we all just saw.

No, Italian.

Well surely the Nets or Knicks will make a bid for him so they can capture that part of the market.

Well, Miami is the only place that an I-talian can opt out.

He gone... Cleveland.

Color me shocked.  Between the way the owner wrote that letter and the Cleveland fans behaved. I am really surprised.  Oh well.  I believe in Pat Riley.

He will still vacation there. And maybe keep a condo. Don't beat yourself up. You still have the Dolphins and....well, lets see...lots of cocaine, Hatians and retired Jews from New York. You'll be fine.

Cavs signed him at $42 million for 2 years, and he can opt out after 1 year.  Seriously?  We all know that he will go back, cavs (and ESPN) will make a big deal of it, and they won't be any good.  They may make it to the first round, but after the failure he will opt out again and we are doing the same song and dance next year. Which leads me to the thought that maybe he did all of this because he has something lined up with another team but they needed a year to line the stars up and sign James. Bulls? Gasol has said that he intends to sign with them.  Think about that team, Rose, James, Gasol, Noah, and random tall guy in the middle.

Possibly but more likely it's because the salary caps are going to change in two years along with another possible lockout.  New TV deals will allow teams to spend more money on players, and if Lebron wants to be the highest player in the league, he'll need to be contract free when the caps go up.

That seems to be a good reason too.  Also the cavs are trying to get K. Love
