the beaches are great and all and it's certainly not a bad place to live. just not much character to the city itself imo. feels suburban.

I still like it there and all.

when the Chargers leave, San Diego will have zero professional sports teams in sports that matter.

The point of what? Him saying absolutely nothing? Him taking his time to make a major life decision? Not sure what the problem is here.

now come on

his agent or some other spokesperson could have put a damper on a lot of this cleveland stuff ages ago had they wanted to

there were articles about how his agent was saying it was "his mission" to get bron back in cleveland!

this is not a runaway train the king cannot control, he has chosen not to and chosen to let his people let it roll

So a warmer, better-looking version of Buffalo, then.

 
Serious question: Why would Dwayne Wade opt out of his contract if Lebron was leaving? I apologize if this has been asked and answered here already.

I think he's handling everything just fine if he intends to sign with Cleveland. I think it may be as big a PR disaster as the decision at this point if he and his handlers allowed this much suspense and optimism to build, only to pull the rug out from under them again. Cleveland fans would then be 100% justified in storming his compound with torches and pitchforks, IMO.

I believe there was a deadline where he had to make a decision, and at that time Lebron was uncertain of what he was going to do. Wade opted out knowing that if he didn't the Heat were screwed and it would be less likely Lebron would come back, believing that if James didn't come back the Heat front office would still take care of him.

Hardest thing for me to get over if he's leaving. Udonis, too.

I know for sure I would NOT want to skip out on UD and then have to face that guy.

I think everyone assumes the Heat front office has given him assurances that he will be made whole and then some in exchange for the obvious flexibility he provided by opting out.

I think it's possible that LeBron genuinely didn't know what he would do and Wade's opt-out was basically a necessary step if Miami hoped to keep him. If they're paying Wade close to max money the next two years they can't show LeBron any real chance to upgrade the roster.

I'm sure Lebron is terrified of what Haslem is going to do during his 7 mins of playing time per game.

He was done meeting with anybody last night. How long does it take? I understand he doesn't have that many fingers and toes, but, his agents should be able to explain it to him.

Link? I don't recall hearing anything from his camp other than "reporters" claiming "sources".

He's handled it exactly how he should. He's been quiet and he'll announce his decision when he is ready. Not sure what you want from him.

he control's his image and his message, if he does not he needs to handle people that do

right now he is choosing to allow the message to be lebron is very likely going back to cleveland. IF that is not the message he wants out there he is entirely capable of changing it. his silence is a choice,

If he genuinely was/is still deciding please tell me how he could end this until he makes a decision?

 
@pourmecoffee: ESPN has miniaturized Chris Broussard in a submarine and he is reporting from inside LeBron James' blood stream.
