Dan Gilbert's not very bitter about LeBron's decision is he

Certainly won't leave the one club legacy of people like Jordan, Kobe, Bird and Johnson. I thought LeBron would put his own ego/legacy above all but he's put that all aside to go and win trophies, not sure if that's a good thing or not.

that is just frightning too think about this year i really cant see anyone stopping the heat they have everything now i didnt think it would be finacially possible too have 3 superstars on 1 team how they have fit them under the cap illl never know

Was arguing with the boyfriend last night about the magnitude of this move. He says it's no different to when Boston brought in Allen and Garnett to go alongside Paul Pierce and doesn't see what all the fuss is about. This is why I don't respect his opinion when it comes to sport.

i can see were hes coming from Garnett and Allen 2 very very good players but there at Miami you have 3 of the 5 best players in the NBA IMO its a scary proispect who you going to double teamm?? james?? then that leaves Wade and bosh single coverage its unreal.

1.James
2.Bryant
3.Wade
4.Bosh
5.Howard
6.Durant

theres my top 6 in the NBA by the way

There’s no denying that Dan Gilbert came across like a spoilt child with his comments after Lebron had chose to ply his trade in Miami, but is there really a need for Jesse Jackson to try and turn this into a race issue?

Dan Gilbert was very unprofessional in his comments on Thursday night and I agree with Jesse Jackson about the fact that these comments could have put Lebron in danger.

However, I am 100% convinced that these comments were that of an owner who was simply p****d off at his star player walking away from his team and informing the Nation/World without having the decency to make a call to his employers of the past 7 years. At no point did it even cross my mind that this could be a race issue, but it seems to me that Jesse Jackson has tried to turn it into one. Shame on him

Jackson's a Grade A tool who plays the race card on every single issue - he's Al Sharpton with a college education.

Yes Jesse, NBA free agents really are like runaway slaves - slaves with big mansions, fast cars, more money in the bank you can ever expect to have in a lifetime and the right to go work for whoever they like.

Maybe Gilbert was unprofessional in sounding more like a fan than an employer, but to imply that makes him an advocate of slavery would have me straight on the phone to my lawyers demanding an apology if I were him.

Colangelo about to pull of a seemingly impossible trade by offloading Turk to the Suns, possibly saving his own neck in the process. We shall see how it all pans out.

Agreed, he is a smug tossser who will get booed in every arena next year.

Can't believe we managed to trade Turk. Was going to be a bigger deal which would see us offload another cumbersome contract in Calderon, but Michael Jordan had second thoughts. Still, 1 out of 2 aint bad.

Get a good player back in Barbosa as well.

CP3 maybe in NYC? Ha ha. How you all laughed when we didn't bag Lebron. One that has flew under the radar is our signing of Timo Mosgoz the russian centre. Highly thought of throughout the FIBA world and a great pickup. In a deal for CP3 look for us to offer Chandler, Douglas and maybe Randolph. We'll keep hold of Currys expiring for next year to sign Melo.

Melo rejected the Nuggets offer wants Nets, Knicks or Rockets.(until Amare has another word).

So I bit the bullit and got tickets for the Raptors home opener. Really not sure what to expect this year. Well that's not entirely true. I expect us to play with enthusiasm but ultimately we'll lose a lot more than we'll win.
