I've seen some people make double or triple posts but they show up on the next page.
Whatever LeBron decides to do, it'll leave me surprised.

everybody needs to calm down
everything thing are in our favor. lebron lost is a terrible fashion. we can afford 2 maxes. we have a three point shooter that bleeds NY. and more importantly we have a coach that can put lebron in the conversation for greatest of all time
now personally i don't think i would ever be able to say lebron is better that Mike under any circumstances.... but...........
if he averages a triple double 3 or 4 years and wins 4 in nyc he will be in the conversation forever.
CLE has no coach and hired a homegrown GM. things are in our favor. if he doesn't come with bosh, it was never meant to be. he never fully wanted to come. there is nothing else we can do.

the funny thing is that alot of people on my facebook claim to be "die-hard" Laker fans now. But these are the same people that I grew up with and they use to be Bulls fans in the 90s. I just wonder where are they gonna go when Kobe is gone from LA.
That's the only negative I see from Lebron coming to NY.

[h1]Bryant doesn't give 'a bleep' about where LeBron will play[/h1]
By MARC BERMAN
LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant, in a private moment at Staples Center yesterday, didn't care to hear the name LeBron James, who is stealing attention from the NBA Finals because of his impending summer free-agency drama.
Bryant is consumed with one item -- a fifth championship -- not the soap opera surrounding King James, who wears a crown but not a ring.
Bryant is three wins away after a flawless 30-point, seven-rebound, six-assist outing in Game 1 on Thursday lifted the Lakers to a 102-89 win over the Celtics and a 1-0 lead over the Celtics.
"You're asking me if LeBron is going to New York?" Bryant told The Post. "I'm trying to tell you in a polite way, I don't give a [bleep].
ONE FOCUS: Kobe Bryant said his only focus is on winning a fifth NBA title and not on where LeBron James will play next season.
"As a fan, it' a big deal," Kobe added. "You're talking about LeBron and Dwyane Wade, it's two huge names changing cities. It alters things drastically in the NBA. But I really don't care about it."
Byron Scott, now an ESPN broadcaster, was standing with Bryant and cracked up.
"Why are people talking about LeBron anyway?" Scott said. "Let me tell you something. From me just knowing Kobe, he doesn't give a [bleep] what everyone is talking about anyway."
"I couldn't have said it better," Bryant piped in.
Indeed, it is a strange dynamic at these Finals. Bryant is approaching a fifth championship -- one less than Michael Jordan. He is playing in his seventh Finals -- one more than Jordan. Yet James is getting more attention even a month after his Cavaliers played their last game of the season.
Last night, CNN showed James' hourlong, much-hyped interview. During the Finals telecast of Game 1, ABC promoted a "Nightline" interview with James to be shown after the game -- even though the segment was taped on April 5 and already was aired in May.
During his formal interview session yesterday, Bryant said of the King James' cloud over the Finals: "I don't care about attention. It doesn't mean anything to me."
Fact is, Bryant, despite a sore knee drained in April, despite a healing broken finger, is playing at the highest level he's ever played. Historically speaking, Bryant is nearing Jordan's plane of greatness. James is nowhere in that discussion, even if he has two MVPs to Bryant's one.
Somehow, Bryant, at 31, is better than Bryant of his 20's.
"I think he's a better and a more well-rounded total basketball player," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said at a charity event in which a community center blocks from the arena was dedicated by NBA Cares. "And that includes leadership, teammate skills, things you get better at as you mature. Five, six years ago, he was off the charts athletically. Today he's still incredibly athletic but not as athletic as 26. When you look at the total package, yes, he's better now."
Jerry Colangelo, Team USA's CEO, told The Post Friday he has been informed Bryant likely will have right knee surgery after the season, which is why he won't play in the World Championships. According to a Lakers source, Bryant may undergo arthroscopic knee surgery because of wear and tear.
Bryant's broken finger has healed, but a Lakers source said the finger is puffed up.
Asked about his condition yesterday, Bryant said, "You just try to get healthy as you can for every game and you go out there and just do your best. You just forget about the injuries and put your hardhat on and go to work."
Kupchak said he is amazed Bryant played the whole season.
"If you talk to him now, he'll say he's feeling pretty good," Kupchak said. "He had a rebirth of energy after the knee was drained. But over the course of an 82-game season, we advised him in so many different ways it was time to take some time off, but he didn't want to hear anything about it."
Bryant has put on a surly persona for the media, with mostly clipped answers. His Finals face is on. The title drought from 2003 to 2008 seems to have him more determined.
"Just comes from understanding opportunities not coming along very often and making sure you focus in and take full advantage of it," Bryant said. "Early in my career, it's like we'd pop up, win three straight [titles] and after that was a drought.
"I want to make sure we don't leave any stones unturned."

honestly the more i think about it, the LESS lebron to chicago makes sense. dont get me wrong, derrick rose is FILTHY, but if the lakers repeat this year, bron isnt gunna think to himself i need an athletic playmaker since he is one already. you know what hes going to say?
I NEED MY OWN "GASOL."
as a basketball decision, financial decision, going down as a legend decision, it makes the most sense for him to come to ny with bosh.
If this FA meeting goes down/went down there is no way lebron and bosh can be in a room together, as free agents that are disgruntled with their team, and say no to this opportunity they will never get in their lives again. These 2 guys will run NY, and dont have the yankees to worry ab stealing any spotlight cuz their 2 playoffs are in completely different times.
NYs front office + mikey d have been working on their pitch too long (as if they really need it hopefully these guys are smart enough to figure it out themselves)
I'm not going to say i'll be surprised if they dont sign with NY, but i'll question their decision making, because if I were in their shoes (even as a non-knick fan) this opportunity is too great to pass up on.
the only other team i can think of is MIA if they're able to do the three max FAs thing. but even then, is that really necessary to have 90% of your cap mortgaged into just three players? its kind of like putting all your eggs into one basket...if one guy goes down or has to play hurt thats a MAJOR blow. and wouldnt 2 stars + a solid supporting cast be just as good on the court? and im callin it a solid supporting cast because we will have chandler, gallo, douglas who are all improving AND 11 million coming off the books for 2011 if we dont work out a trade for curry's contract to add another piece this year.
and miami is a great city, south beach is great...but are u really gunna give that much of a %+$$ ab being on the beach chillin and going to clubs during the season? for the offseason MIA is ideal for an NBA star, but i just think during the regular season, thats not exactly ideal, and playing in front of a bunch of fairweather fans isnt either. plus nobody: lebron or bosh will be able to be bigger than wade out there. he's basically "homegrown" brought them their first title. your shine will never be as much as his no matter what you do on the court as long as he's there.
and lebron staying in cleveland? hes an idiot if he stays. that team isnt built to win in the long run, they werent even built to win this year, and they will not get any better. unless hes stupid, enjoys early exits, or wants to keep tabs on delonte, he will not re-sign with them.
i know it seems like i just wrote a bunch of NY propaganda, but without reviewing exactly what i wrote cuz my laptops gunna die soon, im pretty sure it all makes sense.
