Where will Lebron go next season, is the big question on everybody's mind this season because any team that picks him up is almost guarateed a title. Even after bringing over the Shaqnosis, and tryin to woo over Trevor Magriza, the fact is he didn't sign an extension this year!! Here is a weekly break down of the most likely teams for the King to move too!!!
It better be a CASTLE!!
ENJOY!!!!
Those of you who dread this topic will be thrilled with the NBA's scheduling computer.
Friday night's trip to New York is the only time that the Cleveland Cavaliers will be playing on the Knicks' floor this season … barring an unlikely reunion in the playoffs.
So maybe that'll cut down on the incessant chatter about LeBron James' future.
OK, OK. Maybe not.
I nonetheless tend to believe that the majority of you understand why so many NBA pundits go here so often and fully expected (and wanted) this to be the thrust of the latest Weekend Dime. Eleven days into the season can't be too soon to start digging into the LeBron Landscape if the league office is going to serve up Cavs-at-Knicks this quick.
We say so even though we've long endorsed the theory that LeBron genuinely can't know what he's going to do yet. Why would he? Why would he make the biggest decision of his professional life so many months before he needs to?
Yet you'll also note that LeBron said the following to reporters in Cleveland on Thursday night: "Every team in the NBA, I've thought about playing [for] at one time in my life."
See? It's an irresisitible game.
And after close consultation with a handful of experts as close to the pulse of this madness as possible, here are the five teams most deserving of a spot in the discussion, as things stand exactly 237 days away from July 1, 2010:
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
You could probably come up with at least 23 reasons to slam home the idea that the Cavs are still overwhelming favorites to find a way to re-sign the most anticipated free agent in the history of American sport.
You probably already know most of the main reasons, too.
The contract Cleveland can offer LeBron will be one year longer and nearly $30 million richer than any other suitor. The Cavs are on the short list of teams with a spare-no-expense owner who will keep spending until Dan Gilbert puts a supporting cast around James that's championship-worthy. My own favorite take, which I've clung to for years, is that James is clearly proud of his roots in nearby Akron and thirsts to be the guy who beats all the supposed Cleveland curses.
The local hero who proves that you actually can win something on Lake Erie.
