LeBron James Signs With The Miami Heat 2010-07-08 Off By John Krolik LeBron James will officially join Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade on the Miami Heat next season. Best of luck to LeBron and the Heat in all their future endeavors. LeBron Decision Open Thread Here’s Dan Gilbert’s LeBron rant letter
OKC fan here. Sorry to hear about LeBron. The jerk must have no heart.
When a business makes a tough decision, they usually let those effected know as soon as possible, and even offer some sort of “parachute” to make the transition either. They don’t string people along for two months and set up a nationally televised event to drop the bomb and kick them in the nuts.
Completely agree with ST. He can make whatever decision he wants, but the way he did it was… very unprofessional, to say the least. I’m not a Cavs fan or Miami fan, but you guys didn’t deserve this. Don’t worry though, bad karma will keep the trio in Miami from winning squat.
“all you real lebron fans” go ____ ________
anyway want to start a bonfire with lebron jerseys, let me know?
at the end of the day it’s a business. When the organization moves on from a player it’s ok, but when a player leaves an organization it’s a problem? U cavs fans are ridiculous.
No I don’t, but no worries
You guys have my sympathies. I wanted him to join my Bulls, but still, a one-hour special was an incredibly cruel and vain way to declare his decision. He just dragged your team’s body through the mud after stabbing it in the back a few times. That’s just asinine no matter what he was gonna say.
Ridiculous.
This Heat team? They’re just going to melt down against the Celtics or the Magic. I guarantee that someone on this team will be demanding a trade by the end of the 10/11 season.
If Lebron had left to Chicago to try and win a title, I could at least understand his logic.
Thanks, Excl – tweeted/facebooked (if you made it – do you have a twitter handle so I can credit your properly??)
Please do. Can we make T-shirts?
with the way you all are acting lebron is probably glad he left.
Thanks, Kevin – I tried!
Excl — love it – mind if I tweet your link??
i’ll be happy to join all the cavs fans in hating lebron down in north cuba. hated him immensely ever since 06 anyway. like a man with ab lincoln tatted on his neck once said, he’s overrated.
Burnnnnnn: “I’m with mb, show some class, so called Cleveland fans.”
If only Burnnnnnn would show some class himself with his own comments.
So… John Krolik: this is pretty much the last post on the old Cavs blog right?
Or do you plan on daily updates on how Byron Scott is handling his team of misfits in the middle of a 5-27 start to the season?

Tim departs in tears. Must be bedtime at the orphanage.
cleveland is that dorky yet lovable oaf with no confidence that somehow managed to date the hottest chick in the universe for seven years. now that she’s decided to move on, its hilarious watching the meltdown.
Don’t worry Cleveland, you still have Mo Williams. Hopefully you don’t disgrace yousrselves groveling to him when he goes off contract… As you have the past few weeks.
Burn: You dipshit — not from Cleveland, not a Cleveland fan. I just know a piece of shit when I see one or two. LeBron and you.
BTW, your mom would say hi, but her mouth is full.
666 — dude, you live in Pittsburgh? And you’re hating on Cleveland? Seriously? LMAO!
to all: Lebron is a fucking low-life piece of shit. And so is everyone at ESPN. Night.
Agreed Rich — who the fuck is a fan of a player rather than a team — unless that player has personal qualities (e.g., loyalty) that make him deserving of your respect? The guy just shit on his HOMETOWN in front of the entire country and he doesn’t care. I hope he dies in a fire.
Besides the Cavs are only a few lottery picks away from relevancy. There are Kevin Durants and Blake Griffens to be had. Chin up.
At least you have Carlos Santana. That trade will haunt Dodger fans for all eternity.
i remember that little song the “stars” of cleveland sang.
“Please stay Lebron” hahahahahahahahaha
Quitter.
That is All.
Quit on Your Home Town.
Sorry, can’t bring myself to feel that bad for LeBron about people burning his jersey or whatnot. He hyped this up and made it into a ridiculous spectacle, he brought a lot of it upon himself. It’s one thing to switch teams, but another to hype up a nationally televised special in which you make the announcement to leave your hometown team. I can’t see a whole lot of people outside of Miami respecting LeBron for how he handled this, even if they think he made a good basketball decision.
it’s sealed, the Cavs have a better chance of winning if they leave cleveland.
that city is cursed
Sam, it’s not about him leaving. It’s about how he’s leaving — still the same old self-glorifying lines about how LeBron is great and LeBron is humble and it’s all about winning and none of it is true. This guy has been calling himself King and Chosen One for seven years, but he didn’t deliver a championship. People have a right to be pissed that they made a bad investment in him, and that he’s walking out without finishing the job. Not to mention the fact that if he just walked away, we would’ve understood. But the masturbatory media circus… Read more »
HAHAHAHAHAHA Cleveland sucks
Rofl..I love when someone says I’m not a “true” fan because I burn a jersey. Sorry, YOU aren’t a true fan. YOu follow the player and hop bandwagons, I follow the name on the front of the jersey. That’s what a true fan does.
MB, are you 10? Every fan hates when they lose but loves it when they win. You just open your fucking eyes or what?
Hang the fucking sign of Josh Cribbs after you tear down the LeBron sign. What a joke. Guy has 0 class.
I’m with mb, show some class, so called Cleveland fans.
how embarrassing are the cleveland fans to burn a jersey….definently not true fans im still going to cheer on lebron you cant deny hes one of the best players dont hate on him hes doing whats best for him ..thats the problem with cleveland fans they hate when we lose but love when we win. not right if ur a true fan u love ur hometown team no matter what keep the faith…go lebron!
What a pussy its hard to be Jordan when riding Wades coatails, hope he chokes again and blames it on his elbow
how about u guys check out http://www.liftedathletics.com
how many times does Cleveland get fucked man
i hope orlando or the celtics fuck miami up in the playoffs!
sorry guys u didnt deserve this but too get mad at him for leaving? there was no way he was winning a championship in Cleveland. the roster was not fit too win chamionships and its not Lebrons fault, blame team management. The Cavs should fail this year and try to get the #1 overall pick and theyll have the cap space to sign Carmelo.
the schadenfreude im experiencing right now is incredible
Nah, we sign our superstars for life bitch!
There has to be a worst, there has to be a punching bag, and it’s Cleveland. It’s OK, we’ll keep on going, keep on talking shit with the rest of them while holding out drunken hope that one day we’ll smell victory.
http://www.liftedathletics.com check out that site!
not a virus…i swear!!
PITTSBURGH SUCKS TOO
Oh come ON now Tim. Sure, you may think one part of Ohio is different, but to the rest of us taxpayers it’s all the same haven of inbreds and rednecks.
Lets face it… If you’re in Cleveland, you shouldn’t be talking about finding your way around a map. Nobody ends up there on purpose – just ask LeBron.

ADOR YOU SUCK IT YOU PIECE OF SHIT OF A PERSON
Dude, the real hicks (in OKC) kept their young superstar. Sucks to be Cleveland.
LMAO in Pittsburgh. Love it when cleveland gets screwed!!! Losers!!
Wow….did u guys dirty…..back to being lottery Team!!! Suck it Cleveland u piece of shit of a city
Running a Cavs blog now is like sleeping with Talia Shire in Rocky if you weren’t Rocky.
the search for the next great one is now official on!
Angry hillbillies? Thats southern ohio. That’s ok, I wouldn’t expect an illegal immigrant to know his way around a map anyways.
Better log off the library computer now, burn, or Immigration might catch up to you.
Cmon now, don’t be mad. You got seven years of tv coverage. Now it’s time for LBJ to play with the big dogs, not cater to a bunch of hicks. You cant expect one NBA player to elevate your standing in life or intellect… turn those frowns upside down, angry hillbillies!
Holy racist reactions batman
YOURE NOT WELCOME IN AKRON BITCH
No regard for human life, indeed.
Sorry LeBron, I can’t not root against the Heat now. They just became the Yankees of the NBA. Maybe it would be different for me personally if you could have left in a dignified fashion rather than announcing via this ridiculous special, but I’m not going to be rooting for the Bosh/Wade/LeBron Heat to win any titles.
Bruce Drennan, you’re an idiot.
Actually, Burn’s mom is too busy fucking Burn.
Amen to Scott R. As soon as Game 5 was done, LeBron had stayed too long. I just wish the Cavs could’ve got some value out of it.
You know who the biggest loser in this whole mess is? The guy that runs a Cavs blog.
What the hell will you write about now? Just shut her down boys.
LBJ= piece of crap
Burn…those are big words from a likely illegal mexican mouth down in south beach. have fun with Lebron and his choking ways.
Back Stabbing Nigger
this interview confirms everything I thought about this ego maniac. Notice he talked about his team meeting and going to another team. Then he talked about what he built in Cleveland and how he took them to where they have never been before.
Hey, don’t get too heated there Tim. Perhaps if you ask nicely, Delonte can ask lebron’s mom to play. She’s better than half your roster after all.
…or you could wait for the lottery!
So sorry. Y’all deserved better
Hope Delonte fucks your mom, too, Burn.
Cavs… Second rate franchise, third rate fans. Don’t hate on the guy because no other real talent wanted to go to a backwater. Think of it as seven years you didn’t deserve.
He’s a piece of shit. A scumbag. Fuck his mom again, Delonte.
somebody kick his ass next time he shows his sorry deflated ass in Akron
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
