    One thing to keep an eye on in the Cleveland situation is Brooklyn's record. Right now they have a better winning percentage than 9 other teams. That pick doesn't look near as valuable right now as it did when the season began and we thought it was going to be Russell vs the world.

    I'll bet a portion of my pinky toe that they're not going to trade that pick. Cleveland knows LeBron has half a foot out the door, that pick might be their only chance at saving their future. If/when LeBron leaves, they're strapped with cash and have few prospects of improving. That pick is going to be extremely valuable to them. It'll be more valuable to them than it would be in a trade.

    LeBron would stay if he wins a title. With a healthy Isiah, George, Love and LeBron, that team, if it stays healthy would win it all.

    Say goodbye to that pinky toe.

    Never underestimate the decision-making of a person or in this case, an organization under desperation.

    I'll bet a month of sexual activities the Cavaliers will move heaven and earth to keep LeBron. I think they'll take a good 2-3 years of a competitive franchise and work things out from there than gambling on a risky pick which may not be half as good as any of their top picks in the last decade.

    Me thinks whatever their decision will be depends highly on what LeBron would demand from them. One word from Bron and that pick is gone as a last attempt to appease and keep him.

    LeBron may have learned something from Kobe back in 2004. He learned that signing a long term deal is a bad deal in controlling the situation. I do not think LeBron will ever take a long term deal at any point in his career. He has the organization by the balls with the threat of leaving.

    I don't know how we'd enforce this, but I'll start looking for chastity belts that fit. What size waist are you?

    One month of no sexual activities or losing part of your pinky toe?

    I saw him on the practice court with the team when they were on their road trip.

    For what that is worth...

    Not a discussion.

    I can make up for the lost time. Pinky toe? Gone forever.

    Twice making it deep in the Conference Finals, done. Getting there again has to be the benchmark.

    Would have loved an OKC loss tonight. Westbrook 38 points. PG 8, Melo 4.

    I don't care what anyone thinks about if they make the playoffs or if they make the 2nd round he's going to have 2nd thoughts about staying. He can't be enjoying playing there with Westbrook and Melo and being so marginalized and with a crappy offense. Why the hell did Durant leave. Well we know don't we.

    Can't read the article as it's ESPN insider.

    Oh, I haven't read the article also. I just find the pic of Bron and PG laughing silly especially in the context of them being Lakers already.
