Where are we going to put Al Jefferson?
Dallas needs Chris Paul or some other Superstar to get us to the next level.
We have GOT to find someone who can score high percentage shots in the playoffs because Jet gets cold, Kidd can't hit squat, and everyone besides Dirk can't hit a bucket.
Roddy gives me hope but is just still too young.
I'd like to see us pick up Brad Miller, Do the IGGy thing somehow, and land Mike Miller or JJ Reddick as well.

LeGone has every right to choose where he wants to play as FA, but his endless self promotion is sickening. It would have taken a big man to stay in Cleveland, eventually he would have gotten a title. I hope the Heat lose as much as possible.

If you count Timmy, Gasol, Garnet as Centers Maybe

Where is the contradiction? Dirk is the best PF, but he's not a low-post player.

lol at those castigating Lebron for wanting to further his chances to earn a ring.
It's possible that he'll be sacrificing his stats by this move, which everyone here would applaud if he joined the Cowboys.

Lebron wants a ring. He knows he cant do it by himself. Im paraphrasing what he said but it was something along the likes of you become a great player on your own, but a champion as a team.
I understand his move, he is getting those rings- but wont be regarded as GOAT. Ultimately, he felt a ring is more important. I cant fault him for that.

Its not so much that the SuperFriends team happened.... its how it happened.
For example, if Cleveland had the cap space..... had they signed Wade and Bosh and gone on to win rings.... I don't think anyone would hold that against LeBron. Why? Because it was LeBron's team and those pieces were ADDED TO him.
The problem (besides the whole FA facade, the interviews, the documentary, the tweets, etc) was that LeBron left to join someone else's team.
It was basically an admission on his part that he doesn't think he can be the guy.
Kobe would have never left the Lakers to form a superteam. He did, however, get a damn good team surrounding him in LA.
MJ never left/never would have left the Bulls.
Bird the Celtics.
Etc.
Had James even left to go to NY, or go to Chicago, or NJ... there'd have been less "harm" done to him in doing so - because on any of those teams, he's the guy.

I don't think it matters. Ultimately if he left it's him leaving regardless, like your point about Kobe Bryant, MJ, Bird, etc.
Fact of the matter is LeBron should have left 3 or 4 years ago when his rookie contract expired and he gave that franchise 7 years. In 7 years the best they were able to do was Mo Williams, Delonte West, and Anderson Varejao? And sign a 36 year old Shaq and trade for Antawn Jamison?
LeBron doesn't owe anyone anything. This is just as much an admission by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh that they can't do it alone, WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE ITS A TEAM SPORT!

I just hate that the ****tiest fans in the world get a superteam.
When they start using the MLE year after year they will get nasty
