Here's how all three players and the trade break down.   Chicago: A. Iguodala Given the way that East is starting to trend, Bulls may have to bulk in three areas: athleticism, versatility and depth. Iguodala is a start when analyzing both him and Thibodeau's commitment to making stops on defense. Pairing him in the backcourt with Rose, moving Korver strictly to the three, and having Noah and 'Boozington' (Noah's preferable nickname for ...

The Entire City Of Cleveland To Leave Ohio For Miami (Satire)

Posted: 9th July 2010 by The Sports Comedian in NBA
"LeBron, we're coming too," began a second letter from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Only hours after he sent a scathing personal letter to fans of the Cavs and media outlets, telling LeBron James how he let down the organization and his home, Gilbert announced the entire city has had a change of heart and will be relocating with him to Miami. "I'm sorry about what I said earlier! You are ...

Why the Miami Heat Are Better Off Without LeBron James

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Brad LeClair in NBA
On Thursday night at 9:22 PM Eastern, the face of the NBA changed and LeBron James jumped ship from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. LeBron said he made the decision that morning after consulting his mother and friends. To me, the decision was final when Chris Bosh announced he was joining Dwyane Wade and the Heat. In what many believe to be the best three man tandem now in ...
For the past few years, some guy from Akron, Ohio was the easy choice for the MVP, scoring title, and any other accolade you could possibly think of. Either way, that ship has sailed. The man who calls himself "King" basically put his hometown on their knees and held them hostage for approximately 17 minutes on national television before he announced that he was leaving for Miami. Because he's joining forces ...

Role Players the Miami Heat Should Pursue

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Noah Pinto in NBA
The Miami Heat pulled off a stunning coup by uniting LeBron James and Chris Bosh with Dwyane Wade. There are countless angles to the story that are being explored, but the one I'm focused on is whether the Heat will be able to contend for a title in year one. The Heat will have many challenges, from whether coach Erik Spoelstra can handle three big egos, to who ...

LeBron James was supposed to be the chosen one, the one to end the Cleveland title drought, the next Jordan, and many other things. Now, he's the most hated man in Cleveland. LeBron bolted from Cleveland to join the Miami Heat after playing seven season for the Cavaliers. The furthest he has gone in his career with the Cavs have been a loss in the NBA finals. Considering he hasn't gotten any other ...
Contrary to many people's opinions... there will be basketball in Cleveland next season. Losing LeBron James is obviously the biggest blow the Cavaliers organization has had to face in a long time, but they will rebuild and rebound. The Cleveland Cavaliers have a coach in place in Byron Scott who is familiar with the art of rebuilding a franchise, and I would like to say he has been successful each time. Looking at ...

Dan Gilbert, Be Quiet!

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Brandon Keener in NBA
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has been on a media rampage since LeBron James announced he was leaving for South Beach. Few could blame Gilbert for being a little upset since his only real shot at winning just walked out the door. But Dan, going as far as calling your former first-round pick and franchise face a "former King" and his decision "cowardly betrayal?" Well, that's just like a boy throwing a temper tantrum ...

LeBron James, Decision 2010: Not a Thumbs Up for Fans

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Ralph Sarkis in NBA
Saying that on Thursday night one of the biggest free agency decisions in sports history was made would be by no means an understatement—this was the night that we saw the NBA take an incredible turn all based on one single “decision.” As fans, we were again nothing more but “witnesses” to LeBron James, the back-to-back MVP, when he chose to reveal his intention for the 2010-11 NBA season on an ...
