[yeeupp]

lol i don't post or check there... juss lookin at what other fans would want for next seasons roster


As for as Sergio going to back to the Euroleague, guess we save $2.5 for his QO but i think he moves the ball better than Douglas, although Doug has better D. But Sergio get steals..

I guess PG isn't important when Dantoni would place him as the PG, same position Calipari said he would put him

LeBron bids farewell to Akron - jaguar heading to zoo in Florida
By Linda Golz
Beacon Journal staff writer

POSTED: 02:10 p.m. EDT, May 27, 2010

It's official. LeBron is leaving Northeast Ohio.

''Is he going to New York?'' asked John Kesterson of Barberton, upon hearing the news Thursday.

No. Not that LeBron.

LeBron — the 1-year-old jaguar born at the Akron Zoo last year — will be heading out for sunny Melbourne, Fla., by mid-June.

One of three cubs born to Naom and Chack March 3, 2009, he was the only male. His sisters, Bella and Nakita, will probably be moved to another zoo later in the summer.

LeBron will be paired with the female jaguar Masaya, who already lives at Brevard Zoo, ''in the hope of keeping the breeding going,'' spokesman David Barnhardt said.

The species is on the critically endangered list and there are only 100 jaguars in zoos in the United States.

Barnhardt said the zoo held a naming contest last year and the public chose the names for the three cubs.

''Hopefully, this is the only LeBron leaving Akron,'' Barnhardt said.

LeBron — the basketball star — once lived on a street just outside the zoo entrance.

Barnhardt added that he hoped LeBron James, the basketball star, would come and meet his namesake before the jaguar heads south.

''He has not been to the zoo,'' Barnhardt said. ''He's never met [the cub]. It would be nice for him to meet LeBron [the jaguar] before he leaves.''

Ally Wright, of Akron, was at the zoo Thursday with her husband, Christopher, and 2-year-old son Curtis.

''I'm sure we'll all be sad to see either of them [LeBrons] go,'' she said.

The zoo will have a LeBron Appreciation Day June 5, and LeBron will be on exhibit from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Anyone wearing LeBron James or Cleveland Cavalier paraphernalia will get 50 percent off admission to the zoo at 500 Edgewood Ave.

''Aww, he needs to stay, because we need this wonderful animal,'' said Angela Schwab of Brunswick at the zoo Thursday.

Seeing him ''from the cub to now, I thought he was the parent,'' she added, remarking at how big LeBron — the jaguar — has grown.

Yea I got tricked too.

[duba169]

well i can post up info about how lebron would apparently make chicago 2 billion dollars lol.

90% of the "news" is pointless until July 1st. Only important news so far is MSG being a publicly traded stock company IMO. The interviews are just Walsh beating around the bush to avoid tampering. Even the superstar meeting isn't that serious..obviously these guys would all talk to each other before signing.

just seems pointless. im starting to think it's good that we are flying under the radar. It means our position is relatively stable. We have a competent GM, our owner has stayed out of the spotlight, the media policy changed, tickets are selling out already, we have a great offensive coach while many teams don't even have a coach, a couple young nice players... We are just waiting. Nothing for us to do or say.

lebron is giving an interview to King on Friday. maybe something will come out of that.

LeBron: Cleveland has "edge" when he's free agent

Two-time MVP basketball superstar LeBronJames is on the cusp of free agency. In an interview scheduled to airFriday with CNN's Larry King, James said his current team, theCleveland Cavaliers, has the best chance of keeping him.

King: Do you lean at all toward the place you know the best? I mean do they have an edge going in...

JAMES: Oh, absolutely.

KING: ...your home team?

JAMES: Absolutely. Because, you know, this city, these fans, I mean,have given me a lot in these seven years. And, you know, for me, it'scomfortable. So I've got a lot of memories here. And - and so it doeshave an edge.

James has not talked to the media since the Cleveland Cavaliers wereeliminated in the second round of the playoffs by the Boston Celtics.

 

[pr0phecy718]

oh ok

better than putting up a misleading title about a zoo animal

 

[duba169]

we Americanized the hell out of the rooster. "where you at". giving daps to strangers and everything haha. he loves NYC. they ask him for a pitch for lebron and Bosh and he says "if you can win here, you win in the best place in the world"



seems like a funny guy

 

[big j 33]

I didn't like the Gallo pick at first but I trusted Walsh and co. and I'm glad I did, I really like the guy now. He's got the charisma and seems to welcome the big stage and spotlight.

Just give him a playmaker who can drive and let him spot up for 3's all day long.

 

[duba169]

i was very pissed when they drafted gallo. i thought he would be a soft Euro. but he proved me wrong. I think he has the perfect personality for this city and team.

he proved 98% of NY wrong including myself. he currently my fave player besides kobe and houston ofcourse

 

[tommykairaa]

oh ya just gon overlook that duhon mix aight

 

[duba169]

AMES: Well, I mean, to me, I think my ultimate -- my ultimate goal is winning championships and -- and I understand that me going down as one of the greats will not happen until I, you know, win a championship. So for me, the team that I decided to go toward (INAUDIBLE) in Cleveland, that ultimately has -- has the best chance for me to win a championship not one year, but multiple years. But for me to continue to get better and help that team win, I think, ultimately, would be my decision. I'm going to do what's best for me and my family.

KING: So can we say it will not be a poor team, a team of players who you do not calculate would be there to win championships, because you can't play forever?

JAMES: No, I cannot play forever. And that is absolutely right. But the team that I go to or -- or, you know, whatever the case may be, will have an opportunity to win championships in multiple years and not just because of LeBron James.

KING: So it has to be a good team?

JAMES: Absolutely.

KING: All right.

Do you lean at all toward the place you know the best?

I mean do they have an edge going in...

JAMES: Oh, absolutely.

KING: -- your home team?

JAMES: Absolutely. Because, you know, this city, these fans, I mean, have given me a lot in these seven years. And, you know, for me, it's comfortable. So I've got a lot of memories here. And -- and so it does have an edge.

But it's a -- it's a very -- it's going to be a very interesting summer and I'm looking forward to it.

KING: You can't wait to hear?

Do you wish it were July 1st?

JAMES: I wish it was July 1st.





JAMES: It's a great city. It's a great city. But at the same time, like I said, it's not always about the city. It's about winning. And I mean if you put me and Bosh on the same team, if you put me and Dwayne Wade on the same team or a lot of these -- me and Joe Johnson or -- or a lot of these guys, a lot of teams would be much better. You know, the Cavs would be much better. You know, all (INAUDIBLE)...




JAMES: That's not -- no, not really. You know, I think that a lot of great coaches. You know, a lot of great coaches have been part of this league for years. But I'm not one to go into the off year and say this is who I want my coach to be. Now, there are some coaches, that, you know, if I had an opportunity to play for, I would be delighted. But I'm not as far as -- as picking a coach.






KING: Have any of your -- Cavalier teammates asked you to stay?

(LAUGHTER)

JAMES: Of course.

KING: They have?

JAMES: Of course.

KING: How about this city?

You know the -- listen, listen, these are economic times and you are in the unique position of being very economically important to Cleveland. You sell tickets. You do more than that. You support people in this city. You're very generous in getting involved with kids.

Do you take that into consideration?

You've got a lot on your shoulders.

JAMES: Well, I think as far as saving the city economically, I can't get too involved in that. I can't let that be a decision of mine or what I do with my future.

But as far as what I do in the community, that has a lot to do with it, because what I do in the city of Akron and what I do in the city of Cleveland means a lot to myself.

that comment about "it's not about the city, it's about winning"....got me thinking.....

 

[nychiphophippo]

read what else hes saying. dude obviously wants to play with another max player. the only way hes doing that is in mia or in NY. and NY is the better fit for him since he can play with bosh. i think its obvious at this point hes not going back to cleveland. just read what he says. he wants to win and do so for years. cleveland isnt even built to win now and their not getting and young/better. and it looks like hes already made up his mind on what hes going to do since he said he wishes it was july 1st already.

i honestly think we're getting bosh + bron this summer. if we dont it isnt the end of the world, but i would be more surprised if we didnt than if we did. it just makes too much sense.

that comment about "it's not about the city, it's about winning"....got me thinking.....

At the end of the day the NBA landscape is about to change. If he stays put, Miami gets Dwayne wade and a max and chicago gets a max and he is screwed. I don't think the general public would support him as much if it looked like he just chased money and fame and consequently destroyed the economy of Ohio. Him and his team have been stressing the fact that he wants to win and that this is a basketball decision.  He obviously has learned that it's very rare to win without a legit number 2. We can give him that without needing to beg the raptors to trade Bosh to us. Nobody has any real power to screw us. We have our money. We have a coach him and bosh won a gold medal with. As long as he has the argument that he left to win titles and not just for the new york city, then he comes out looking much better

I personally don't believe that the city,money,fame and everything don't play a part in his decision. i think he is in a unique position and he will think about every aspect of his decision. that's why he has "a team". i think a lot of what we hear is a spin job.

I think it's good that he said he wants to win multiple titles because it kills the argument that he just wants to "win now". it makes it a long term decision which benifits us because we still have one bad contract left. It's very likely that him and Bosh could lose the first year and then win 2 or 3 in a row after that final piece is established. he said he would love to play with bosh. We have the power to do that. I don't see how we get them in a room and they don't sign.

The quote about the economic problems of Ohio not being a factor in his decision is very good for us. he obviously wants to be able to help out locally, but i don't think he will sacrifice his max potential to stay and "save" the city's money woes. that is beyond his power realistically.

it is odd that the knicks seem to have been taken out out of the conversation in the media. King spent more time asking him about the clippers than knicks.
