I was gonna write a long thing about "how the hell does Cleveland construct a championship roster with Lebron" a couple of days ago to be ready in case he actually somehow did it and then I thought "no that's stupid you're wasting your time" and then it looked like he was gonna return (to Miami) after all and then out of loving nowhere he only went and did it so guess I'll be busy tonight.

For real though, I have no clue how the gently caress this team is gonna work.

It's like they all didn't burn their jerseys and cried for years. All is forgotten cause WE GOT EM BABY. I almost feel bad for Cleveland. Battered Sports City is a real thing.

Going to Gamestop at midnight for Halo: ODST. Didn't pre order. The guy on the phone told me I *might* get a copy. Whatever dude.
Who is even going to be on the Heat next year?

Norris Cole, Napier, ?

So how long until the "Kevin Love to Cleveland" rumors start?

RealGM Knicks fans are actually convinced it's Melo going to Cleveland (in exchange for Wiggins).

As empty as it usually is until we make Game 1 of the finals.

Probably as empty as the last 5 minutes of game 6 of the 2013 finals.

LBJ and Kevin Love in a Euro-style offense! gently caress me up a wall.

Anybody have more details on the supposed deal they'd already worked out for that trade?

About two seconds before the trade goes through since they already had one worked out before

I thought this got debunked.

I still see it as pretty likely but I didn't think they had this stuff worked out.

i think he sees himself as a business man and had no idea of what the emotional aspect of him leaving would entail

I still think that having the Cavs be a powerhouse of the east is a hilarious proposition though

It's not like we're that far removed from that being the case

How far will the Heat fall.

Spo is a good coach, but this team could possibly lose 20-30 wins, even more if both Lebron and Bosh leave.

I get the second part but saying the fans deserved poo poo that happened in the 80's because of poo poo that would happen in the 2000's is sort of motherfucking retarded.
