Point is Lebron is coming to NYC. Whether that be 2010 or 2011 who cares.

My guess is Lebron commited to accept his player option for next year!

Cleveland kept Hickson. FUCKKKKK.

That bastard Ferry probably has a wink wink deal with Kerr to trade Hickson and Jamison for Amare this summer. Just a FYI Oklahoma has the rights to the Suns pick so if they lost Amare that would have likely been a lottery pick.

So glad they aren't getting Amare...would have been a much better fit than Jamison.

Amare would have probably kept Lebron in Cleveland. Jamison will have no impact on whether he stays or goes.

Seb. Lebron has been pushing management for two years to acquire Jamison why wouldn't that impact his staying in Cleveland?

but also when given the choice of jamison or amar'e he told management he wanted amar'e

where is that report? Because the only that had legs was him wanting Jamison. It looks like Amare and his agent were pushing a trade.

i'll try and find it for you, but like a week ago (maybe a little more) i had read that cleveland management asked lebron who he wanted and he said amar'e

Jamison has 2 more years left on his contract after this year making $13.3 million in 2010-2011 and $15 mil 2011-12. They wouldn't, IMO, trade for Jamison and his long, expensive contract, unless Lebron committed to stay.

That makes a lot of sense. Lebron may be a lot of things but I don't think anyone describe him as being douche with his team.

he's said time again that his decision july 1 is going to be about him and his family.

there is absolutely no way lebron will opt in for one season with the lockout coming. he'll either sign a 5 year deal in NY or a 6 year deal in Cleveland.

i don't think his pushing for Jamison is anything more than a basketball decision - jamison's outside shooting opens things up for he and shaq inside. amare's inside game never worked with shaq. which raises the question - would the cavs have been better off NOT trading for Shaq and instead waiting on Amar'e? that may haunt them.

i think the Cavs front office has done a horrible job and it may cost them James. they have the best record, but that is ALL lebron. 3 of their starters are 34yrs or older. that's how you build around an impending free agent?

I always got the sense that him Jamison are tight and he likes his game. To me this is getting what your star asks for. Like I said I wished the Knicks would have did the same for Ewing.

if that's the case, why did the Cavs strike out so badly getting him stephen jackson?
