To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, “OK, I don’t want to deal with these people ever again.” But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I’ve met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We’ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I’ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?

I’m not having a press conference or a party. After this, it’s time to get to work.

faggot


/yes mad

I'm very happy for LeBron and Cleveland. Can't fault a guy for following his heart. I wish more people took pride in their roots and home like he does. World would be a better place imo

Plus the Heat are complete asswipes and going nowhere.

Everyone makes mistakes. Dan Gilbert made them, LeBron made them. That's part of being a man. It happens. Move on and live your life.

Bosh can sign with Houston now   

I'm very curious to see what Miami does now. They could still be OK if Wade takes a pay cut. They have a shit load of cap space.

99% done with basketball

Ariza leaving may tip it to 100% tbh

Ariza leaving seems to be inevitable

Wizards could be the #2 team in the East going into next year if Melo stays with the Knicks. If he goes to the Bulls, I see them being the favorites in the East over the Cavs.

I love this narrative that the Cavs shouldn't part with Wiggins in a potential KLove deal. GTFO

Agreed on love narrative. Wiggins has no business in the NBA.

"But he can jump!" Well isn't that just fuckin fantastic

Wtf makes the bulls favorites for anything? If they get Melo, congrats, they officially have ONE NBA player on the roster. Gonna need about 7 or 8 more at least

They'll be the poor mans OKC thunder; getting their asses kicked in the 2nd round every year

Poor mans OKC Thunder can thrive in the East tho

We must remember the Pacers made the ECF last year and they are miserable. I have faith in DRose this time around. I think he's as mentally strong now as ever in his life. Which I realize isn't saying much since he was mentally fragile to say the least.

Irving will play a lot different with LeBron imo. None of this shit where he dribbles for 19 seconds and chucks some jumper as the shot clock expires. LeBron will beat the shit outta him.

If I was Dwade I would seriously consider retiring or see about joining the Bulls on a reduced contract. He could go home too etc

 

I've got nothing to say even...

Well at least every fking player in NBA can make their Decisions now.

Oh and RIP Heat forever, Miami just lost 99% of "loyal" fans.

Poor mans OKC is blazers; they would never survive anywhere

I'm sure rose will be fine, but that's not saying much. I'm sure 15 ppg on 40% and 6 TO's is MVP worthy, but that's still not enough

Lebron will eventually give Irving a beat down lance style, but that's not gonna change anything. This is the same guy that can't grasp the concept of a pick and roll. "Not shooting" isn't something he understands either

final conclusion: fuck lebron

Bosh gets 118 mil from Miami lol

I firmly believe he'll put up good stats as "the guy" but come on. The guy is a glorified role player. He would have fit perfectly in Houston tbh.

Memphis gives Vince Carter a 3 year contract..  

With Jeremy Lin to the Lakers my hatred for them is as bad as ever, which sucks because I'm a Kobe guy.

I really respect Bosh now for sticking with Miami and not letting DWade stand alon on cruthces...

Bosh will change his game now brah, he'll have 20&10, you forget that he sacrificed for the team in Miami with LBJ...

Vince was very good last season,

IMO it's what they need, a spark off the bench...

Nick Young resigns...

Isaiah Thomas is a Phoenix Sun!

This lbj thing left a sour taste in my mouth with basketball. 99.5% done now tbh. Don't care about anything else that happened

Lets just focus on gta nerd chat. Crax, lets just keep spamming those Martin missions and build up cash for the next gen gta 5. They supposedly got more good stuff coming in for next gen. Would make sense considering it's been a year and they haven't released a single heist

You'll be back as soon John Wall brings his A game and wins the first game of the season...

Wiggins can ball, Bennet looks great, but Jabari is another stratosphere for those two...

Dellavadova or however it's spelled is a nice point guard, scrappy defender...

Jabari>Melo atm...

This guy can pass...

I've watched some of that game, Bennet looked like he wanted to play, looked good. Parker and Wiggins were ok, Greek Freak was awesome. Parker gonna average around 20 this season I think, fgt will have a green light to do whatever he wants on offense by the looks of things. LBJ will be great for all those top 3 picks of the last few years and if Love joins it's auto finals imo.

Yeah the Greek Freak was tremendous...

BTW Wiggins has no 3pt range whatsoever...2 airballs...

It's ridiculous that a professional wing player that can not handle the ball and shoot and goes to college for 1 year and wins nothing gets millions off the bat plus adidas gives them even more millions...but HEY, that vertical is amazing!

NBA can suck my shit tbh, way to make someone earn their money ffs, way to show youth of america/world how it "works" and then they wonder why people are so stupid and kids kill each other etc.

^^ Pretty much you summed up what's wrong with today's world...

The Ultra festival in Split sums it all up, bunch of idiots on drugs...

Carmelo is officially a Knick...again, Carmelo will take less than $129 million. Not saying it will be five years $100 but it won't be $129 million...

Gasol to the Bulls...

Morrow 10mil for 3 years in OKC...

Hayward will sign a four-year, $63M deal with Jazz today....

:lbj1: ...

Melo made the right choice

Better to lose and get paid than lose and not get paid

^^^That's what I was thinking
