Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 So all the LeBron haters saying he was bailing I guess are wrong....prolly all 3 taking way less than they could to keep team together. How we would proclaim sainthood for any players that did that in Buffalo. But alas, he had a lapse in judgement for one minute in his life, he is different than us, he must be a greedy, me first athlete. I am not sure all 3 staying is a given, even though that's what all the pundits are predicting. Lebron would be crazy to hitch his wagon to wade and bosh, when he has many better options. He should go play with melo or love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Reports on ESPN this morning were saying that LeBron, Wade and Bosh have been getting together to discuss the terms of their contracts between themselves so they don't have to wait till the team can officially do it tomorrow. Another interesting thing from the report was that James will likely get the highest amount in the first year of his contract (if things go as reported). It will be the first time in LeBron's 11 year career that he'll be the highest payed player on his team.

Deranged Rhino Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 He wants max contract: http://espn.go.com/n...-maximum-salary Odd move. I don't buy it quite yet. I think his camp floated that to make him look like a hero when he takes less either in Miami or elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Lebatard, who lives in Miami, seemed to think if they all opted out, and it does not matter that they did on different days, means they are acting on concert and like are all back the Heat at somewhat discount rates.

Even if it was BFLO I would be against it. Collusion between the players. Money should always dictate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But alas, he had a lapse in judgement for one minute in his life, he is different than us, he must be a greedy, me first athlete. Of which minute do you speak? Was it his arrogant post-championship winning game interview, where all he said was "I" "me" and "mine?" or when he disrespected Bill Russell? or when he disrespected Michael Jordan? or when he did that dumb ass "not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7," bull schit when he went to Miami? or was it "the decision?" He is the poster boy for "greedy, me-first athlete." He may not be a bad person, overall. He might be a great husband and a great dad (more important than anything); he is, obviously, one of the greatest to ever play basketball. But the guy is a pompous, arrogant, greedy, cocky, obnoxious ass - and he's proven it over multiple "lapses of judgment," in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did he disrespect Jordan before or after Jordan said in ESPN the magazine that LeBron wouldn't have even started for most teams in his era? Jordan is one of the biggest pricks in NBA history. Tough for LeBron to keep respecting a guy (who he actually idolized his whole life) when the guy takes every chance he gets to take shots at LeBron. MJ caused that by being a bitter old man.
