Lakers own Lamar's Bird Rights, meaning they can offer an extra year the other teams can't (6 to 5) meaning more money.Originally Posted by SiccWittit33
am i the only Cavs fan that thinks we should throw the MLE at Odom??? he would fit perfect at the 4 and the Lakers cant offer anything close to what we can right??
Again, I think Ron short-changed himself. But hey, as long as he's happy I guess.Originally Posted by franchise3
Ron's deal is basically the same as Ariza's.
5 years 33M
We still have the Trade Deadline, I still feel we can def get to the FinalsOriginally Posted by belle155
i dont doubt that, but im just lookin at the facts, LA got better, boston got better. we got shaq. i wont deny hes an upgrade over ben but thats it.
i dont know why, but can you help answer me this? why did we miss out on CV, ron, sheed, ariza...i mean do they just not want to play here? did we not make them offers? im not goin to realcavsfans, thats too many posts to read tonight. im just wonderin why we missed out on all the guys we had bullseyes on a week ago. seriously i dont even know. i just hope we at least made offers or somethin. if they dont want to play here thats one thing but did we at least make offers and TRY??
Nobody wants to play in Cleveland, and we're clearly going the wrong way luring FAs in here. We got LeBron sending %%%#%+% text messages to players tocome? Great. Real professional. The same #$%$ happened when we were trying to sign Redd, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, or Larry Hughes, and look who took the bait?Apparently LeBron sent a video to those guys saying, 'Come play with me in Cleveland.' Business savvy my %!#. Part of the problem with this franchise,and yes I'm going to get knocked for it, is letting LeBron run his show whenever and wherever. Teams that have WON championships, Houston and LA, obviouslyknow the method, and they did it without offering more money.
That said, it's becoming more and more apparent to me that people simply DON'T want to play in Cleveland. I mean, you know something's up whenyou're losing FAs to the %%%#%+% city of Detroit. I like living in Cleveland, I don't mind it at all, but to multi-millionaire playboys? Forget aboutit. We simply don't have the same things other cities can offer. Shopping downtown? Nope, you're going out to Beachwood. Restaurants downtown?You'd get sick of eating at the best ones in three months if you're going every night. Nightlife? West 6th, East 4th, or Coventry, and only West 6thwould halfway suit an NBA player. Girls? Not bad, but not even close to LA, Miami, and I haven't even been to Houston but I'd bet $100 they'rebetter. Weather? Winter = hell. Point being, anybody that's been to Cleveland for an extended period of time knows what I'm talking about. I love it,but I can understand why guys would go elsewhere, especially when you're talking about LA or Boston, coupled with the fact we've got GM LeBron sendingdamn text messages...

"We had a substantially larger offer above the mid-level from Toronto," Lee said. "Trevor decided to go to Houston. I told Mitch (Kupchak, the Lakers' general manager) that it was never about the money; it was about respect." NBA.com
Respect?

2. there's not a snowball's chance in hell LO is going to take the MLE with Cleveland after winning a 'ship in LA and Ariza leaving
3. Bird Rights that have already been stated, are in fact, applicable, so LA can offer significantly more than CLE
4. step it up before you use 'we' again, playa
