FUN FACT!

Cleveland owns Miami's first round pick next year... from the Lebron trade!

Wow.  Miami could be horrible next year.

is it top 10 protected? if so, I can see Miami getting a 1st rounder

Top 10 protected in 2015 and 2016, unprotected in 2017.

It seemed these past 4 years, LeBron has matured a lot...if this is his "decision" special, I have to say, I am impressed this time...it's a nice read and a mature way to handle it this time around
Matured? Nah, he's just got better PR people now.

There is more maturity in the simple, unscripted, unedited tweet that Durant put out in 2010 than there is in LeBron's little finger.

I think you reversed your comparison there.  LeBron could have quite a bit more maturity than Durant if you're only measuring against his little finger.

Also when LeBron signed his first extension he just made a simple statement too:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2513416
Yeah, something like that. Anyway, I think he's again making a big deal from something that should take 1 sentence to announce, not a scripted essay. But oh well.

So... With Love to Cleveland in the bag... How soon until we trade Rondo?

August 7th, when Stauskas is eligible to be traded by SAC.

I hope so.  Stauskas and Smart would be a great pairing.

Sadly, you might be right.

Meh he's still a baby who just bounces teams when the going gets tough. What's his deal if it's two years well he'll break their hearts all over again.

Good Move, LeBron....good move. :)

Finish the work you started there. No matter what the ending is, this is a good move for him.

The poor Wolves fans are talking about their guard rotation after a Wiggins trade.  KMartin, Rubio, LaVine, JJ Barea, Wiggins and Shved will all need minutes

HOT SPORTS TAKE: Should LeBron be wearing a Miami championship ring in the picture with his announcement?  Is he shoving it in the faces of Cleveland fans and insulting the city?  I'm asking questions!

Top 10 protected for the next 2 years.

That is still some silly irony.

I don't think Love to Cleveland is a sure thing.

Has anyone decided to bookmark Sheridan Hoops since this news broke?

After reading his essay on SI, I've gained a tremendous amount of respect for LeBron.

You should have respect for his PR person.
