Lights Out Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Seriously. And the only reason people here are complaining that he's waiting "another 24 hours" is because someone keeps posting fake "news" that an announcement is scheduled for some time today, when in fact there isn't anything happening. People here post anything that any fat kid with a twitter account posts, prefaced by "I'm hearing..." as if they're clued in to anything or a member of the media themselves or something. It's not like he put it off for another 24 hours - there probably was never anything scheduled for today but anything posted anywhere these days counts as news.This. LeBron himself hasn't publicly said a word about his free agency this time around - he said before this past season that he wasn't going to address it in the media and left it at that. This drama is being entirely created by third-rate, unreliable "insiders" like Broussard and Sheridan, Cleveland reporters who will run with literally any rumor that favors the Cavs (Sam Amico was caught presenting a joke post from RealCavsFans.com as a legitimate report from an inside source, for example), and homer fans on Twitter making things up while claiming to have sources. Somehow as always, people find an excuse to blame and hate LeBron for it, though. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 CreepNews2014: Hearing LeBron's wife and kids were spotted at the Cleveland airport just a bit ago. And in other CreepNews2014 - this showed up in my Facebook feed a few hours ago...http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2014-07-09/lebron-james-moving-trucks-exotic-cars-nba-free-agency?eadid=SOC/FB/SNMainI need a shower. Probably heading back to Northeast Ohio after their trip to Brazil. His "main" house is in Bath, Ohio which is where they spend their summers. All signs have to be pointing to a Miami return. Why even meet with Riley if you were leaving? Why waste so much time if you already know your decision? Why meet with the Heat and not even have the respect to give the Cavs a meeting? In the end, it's the Cavs who are getting screwed over. The longer they wait the more free agents they miss out on signing. Exactly. The fact that media outlets will jump on anything on the off chance it might be news is...well...it's something and I'm pretty sure that something isn't good.

Lights Out Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 LeBron Apologists...Never seen those before!Typical LeBron hater. No matter what he does, it has to be spun to make him look like the bad guy. He gets bashed for The Decision and then still gets bashed when he shuts up and the media fills the void with wild speculation and rumors.

Cosmic Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Is it just my imagination, or is this place more interested in Lebron's "decision" this time around than it was for the original The Decision? I know I am. With the first one, I remember thinking, "Well obviously he's not going to have a primetime special to announce he's jumping ship from his hometown team!" It didn't become interesting until after the fact. This time, we know anything can happen AND we have lots of time to stew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 LeBron takes stage with Dan Gilbert, applause breaks out from press room as the two shake hands. LeBron holds up Gilbert's arm in an expression of unity and victory, reporters stand as Cav fans break down doors and spill into the conference room. Riotous cheering breaks out, tears are shed, Cavs fans hug one another.LeBron suddenly hits Gilbert with a Rock Bottom. As LeBron stands over his would-be team owner he throws back his head with maniacal laughter. He wipes his nikes on Gilbert's twitching form, wagging his finger at the cameras. "Y'all should've seen this coming! This was foretold! I am the KING, bahahaha!" LeBron removes the Cavs uniform and throws it on the stage floor. People are weeping now. Screaming in anger. An explosion - the doors to the conference room burst open - it's Kevin Love! In full T-Wolves gear he storms the stage. With LeBron frightened out onto the floor, Love helps Gilbert to his feet. The crowd explodes anew with cheers as Love reaches to the podium, grabs the clipboard and signs the attached contract. LeBron plays to the crowd in anger, hands on hips, scowling and muttering as the mocking chants begin from the crowd.Without warning, Kevin Love rears back with the contract and strikes Gilbert in the head with it. For some reason Marv Albert is present:ALBERT: "My goodness, Gilbert is down and Love is ... is smiling! James comes to the stage and is embracing Kevin Love!" My god, what else could happen here tonight?"LeBron signs his name to the contract before revealing to the audience the awful truth: On the back of the clipboard is a Los Angeles Lakers logo."Rape Me" by Nirvana begins to play as a sunglasses-wearing Kobe Bryant emerges from behind the stage. He hands Love and LeBron custom Lakers jerseys as the crowd openly boos and weeps, their world falling apart.ALBERT: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is horrifying. The betrayal I have witnessed here tonight is unspeakable! And - wait....why is he here?!"To the shock of everyone it's Michael Jordan! Puffing on a cigar and laughing his ass off, MJ comes to the stage, takes the contract, and speaks into the podium microphone: "Always read before you sign, guys - I'd like to introduce you to the newest 2 members of ... the Charlotte Hornets!"Kobe is incensed. LeBron immediately calls Magic Johnson up. Kevin Love gets right in Jordan's face and receives a double-bird for his trouble. "No Chance" fills the room as Jordan struts his way out, mass confusion and anger left in his wake. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

BBTV Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Finally, some credible news about this:3 way deal - Sixers get Wiggins, Cavs get Love, Wolves get Sixers next 2 #1 picks, clearing way for James to return. Bosh reportedly flying to Houston, indicating that he's been told to sign with Rockets.
