D Lee, to his credit, has allowed the Knicks to get back some assets in return for him instead of walking for nothing... albeit he also gained that 6th year of salary so it benefitted him too, but he didn't have to agree to go to GS... Lebron leaving CLE in the lurch is beyond classless IMHO.

How could Lebron go and play with his friends in a S&T deal ? Wade Bosh, and Himself talked about this at the olympics and knew the only way it would work is if those two waited it out and become unrestricted free agents.

This was the only way they could have got the three of them and added the players they wanted to be there for the 2010 season.

Riley , Wade are winners, winners think ahead , Lebron is now about to grow up in the League bigtime and become a winner too !

you don't think a 3 way trade could have been worked out with another team for 1 of the top 2 players in the NBA so CLE could at least get back something in the deal? i'm talking before MIA even traded Beasley or gave up their draft pick to clear cap space, if Lebron knew he wanted to go play with D Wade & Bosh this whole time & Miami was the place to do it, why not approach CLE's management at the end of last season & say "look, i appreciate all the years of faith you put in me & i don't want to leave you guys in the lurch so i wanna tell you of my intentions now so you can see if you can try & work out some deals to get me to Miami to play with my boys"... but no, instead he chose to hold the entire NBA & the entire sports world hostage for the past 2 years hyping up his "Decision" like it was some kinda national election campaign, all in the effort to promote himself & his "brand", dropping ridiculous hints in Nike commercials, using the NY fanbase to feed his super-ego & increase the hype to never known proportions, & then to drop a nuclear bomb on the entire CLE fanbase with a 1 hour nationally televised special on ESPN... come on dude... you seriously cannot sit there & tell me you respect the way he's handled this whole thing.
