What I don't want to happen is that LeBron play games with us during the Summer and then sign with Cleveland and cause us to loose out in getting and signing other players because we were waiting for him. I think that if LeBron intends to sign with Cleveland he should do it now because if he cause us to loose free agents because we are waiting for him I will be a very angry guy and he could then retire in Clevland as far as I am concern. By LeBron playing this game it could hurt us badly if he dosen't come.
Exactly. Why did Kobe re-sign but Bosh, LeBron, Wade, and even Melo haven't signed their max extensions?
Drama Queens?
Or leaving their options open?
Regardless it reeks of players THINKING about leaving their current teams.
Whether or not they do nobody really knows but the fact that they haven't committed does show these guys are at least thinking of moving on.

Either that or using us as a pawn!!! I don't trust any of them, they all are whores waiting to get paid.From management to the players they all are screwing us fans. There was a time when you could see a bunch of guys come up as rookies and become a playoff team. No more does that happen.
These guys are all due the max no matter who they sign with. So there is no bargaining for them. It's just a question of whom they want to get paid by.
Now, Joe Johnson and Boozer are different stories. JJ turned down a 4yr-60M extension from Atlanta (The hell is wrong with him!?) so clearly he wants the MAX. Let us hope we don't give it to him. Boozer of course wants the max as well. Hey, who doesn't? But these idiots better not pull a Radmanovich (turned down what, 42M from the Sonics only to then "HAVE TO" take the MLE from the Lakers). Hey, let us hope we're the team that these idiots "have to" take the MLE from. LOL.
