I think it's quite obvious to anyone who pays attention how big his ego is. Can you name me another free agent in nba history that would secure a 1 hr block on espn just to announce his free agency? Can you name me a free agent who demands that all the teams go to him to discuss free agency instead of him making the trip? Wade and Bosh traveled. He calls himself King James for crying out loud.
You must be dumb to not want him on your team just because he is an attention !+#*+. I hate Kobe to death because of his personality but if I could get him on my squad I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]It's clear to me and several other people who's opinions on the NBA I trust more than most that LeBron ends up on the Nets.[/color] There are just too many factors pointing towards that - the league is getting younger, younger talent has flooded the market, and the Nets are full of that. Brook Lopez is a dominant center that can go up against anyone, absolutely anyone. Derrick Favors is a player that by year 2 should be a more dominant force than Joakim Noah is at this point, and eventually within 3 years could be yet another superstar on the team. Add in the fact that they have a (oft injured) solid PG in Devin Harris, someone that can get the ball up quick and has an overall solid, quality game, and a guy like Terrance Williams who has a wide body that will wear down defenders (similar to LeBron) and it's clear that this is the best spot for him.
Now, add in the other factors such as the owner being Mikhail Prokorov (a top 5 owner in sports worldwide) and the Jay Z ties, then the Brooklyn in 3-4 year ties (talk about legacy defining) and you almost have an all in.
I'm saying in LeBrons mind it has to be 80% Nets, 11% Knicks, 9% Cavs...
The Knicks are a bit tricky because of the tax costs, I believe even at a max deal he'd end up paying about 6 million back in taxes. However on the other side he can easily cover those tax costs with the (+ money he'd be making in) endorsement deals, so I'm not sure...I just don't think that'll be the scenario that unfolds due to other factors

Explain to them that they have a crap team/org and he cant win there? Nah I think thats a slap to their face and kinda disrespectful to them that hes holding such a huge announcement and then announces hes signing somewhere else. This is his hometown basketball team, he is theyre hometown hero, he grew up in that state, hes the only thing they have going for them. He should just go the regular route and do what other FAs do and just let the word leak out and let business handle itself. But considering how big his ego is, it wouldnt surprise me if he announced he was leaving. Oh well ohio takes another L.
