Article detailing Lebron's free agency choice

Two parties to blame:

1) Obviously LeBron James for having an hour long special telling his hometown fans to go screw themselves and also for wanting to join legends instead of beating them like all true legends (as MJ and Magic have said).

2) Serious blame lands on the Cavs owner, GM, James' entourage, and all the other people in Cleveland that spoiled him and let him have whatever he wants. They never made him grow up once he left high school, and they made him into a giant spoiled, only child, momma's boy. They are as much to blame.

I only feel sorry for the Cleveland fans that fell back in love with their team when it became relevant. They couldn't do anything more to keep James. In the end, this is why we shouldn't care to follow athletes in this day and time, there is hardly any loyalty. Stick with your TEAM and expect your stars to leave you.

Bill Simmons had a good mailbag on this. Some of the comments from Cleveland fans were hilarious.

You know how happy Carrie looked at the prom? And when the pig's blood was dumped on her you couldn't help but empathize? And when she went on her rampage you were actually kinda rooting for her? That's how I feel about the city of Cleveland right now.

What kind of odds would I have gotten a few months ago that Gilbert Arenas would no longer be the craziest Gilbert in the NBA before the next season began? I could have made a killing!

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
