    when you are 12 years old and you travel the country playing basketball, I don't think you feel like an indentured servant.

    I hardly remember anything when I was 9 years old.

    The scenario he paints, is not accurate, and I bet that most people had no idea who the hell Kelker or the Walkers were, and nobody mentions them today. Personally, I find that period in his life, disgusting, even though they traded shelter and a semblance of normal suburban life for the $$$ that he was gonna provide playing football, and then basketball for their AAU teams, as he was basically sold into slavery.

    My main point is that his story is good enough without enhancing it in order to paint a grander picture of yourself.

    wait...now Cleveland is off limits because he plays in that city? as for his character, it is what it is.

    You might be reaching. That Heat fans might "Hate" on the Cavs, who are their direct competition in their own conference is not really worth noting.

    Nothing is off limits, hate on Lebron, his team, his city, anything I don't care. I made a seemingly innocent comment that Lebron haters are going to be pissed if he wins a title with Cleveland. Clearly they are and thats ok, like I said, I'm a certified Heat Hater, I root against you guys winning a title. Now that I don't feel sorry for Cleveland I'll start to hate a little bit on them too. But when two people are chasing you around a thread calling you out for stating the obvious then demanding proof that the sky is blue it gets absurd. I totally admit I hate the Patriots, Heat, Jest and a few other teams with a passion, when someone calls me a hater for that I just say yeah, so what?

    I wouldn't be surprised if he gets traded, I don't think he's a Pat Riley type player.

    Dragic is not only a good player but his contract looks really good compared to what will be handed out now

    I'd trade him if we got an asset as well as clearing space but it would need to be a real asset.

    The calls are not serious offers. It's normal pre-draft BS.

    I hate that city, their owner, and that team. But I do love LeBron as a player. Even though I have personal reasons to not like the guy, and I have posted them in here before. I had an actual unpleasant interaction with the guy, but I don't use it to "hate" on him.

    But the city, the owner and the team,...everybody not in that city with any sense of decency SHOULD hate on all three.

    Lebron just said some words that has never been said outloud or even to yourself in the history of mankind.

    he said "i love cleveland" and he then said "i have no intentions in leaving Cleveland".

    Someone put that next to Neil Armstrong's first words on the moon. History.

    He is a good player but does he fit this team? We're going to be an old team next year, can we play his up-tempo style for an entire year?

    I have criticized the organization and the fans. And there are posts mocking the city. That is true, but your claims that I have criticized Lebron beyond saying he made a poor basketball decision are simply not true.

    Exactly! People keep saying "hate" on Lebron, but really mean "hate" on completely different and separate things. I'm assuming it's just trolling at this point b/c nobody can be that dense as to not understand the difference, right?

    Yes, I get that, but you said everyone not there. I didn't understand for example why the Suns fans should hate the Cavs team due to a sense of decency I guess.

    If it is strictly a matter of hating all the competition, then sure I get it.

    I love that trade for the Knicks.

    Can't believe I'm saying that.

    Got rid of Lopez's deal and took on no long term salary.

    If Rose works out, great. If not they might have 3 max slots in 2017

    With Porzingis and Afflalo filling out the starting lineup, that looks like an East playoff team to me

    Also a lineup that could actually play the triangle if you wanted. I love it for NY. Zero risk.

    Signing Howard bigger risk than this trade

    On paper it looks good, but so did the Nets not long ago. Howard and Rose both have battled their share of injuries and sat out significant time.

    give you one now...The Heat are feverishly working at laughing their *** off at this Knicks trade.

    On the real tip....they found George Hill intriguing a year ago. No interest now.

    I get the sense they are working on something, but not sure...what.
