Neither Scola nor T-Mac would be on any team that has both Yao and Lebron. That is, unless each of them re-signs for the league minimum salary. In other words, not going to happen. Also, for the MILLIONTH time, if Lebron is coming in free agency, the...

Not to mention why people can't comprehend that money is the last thing on his mind right now. He could very well sign here for cheap a season or two, then decide it's time for a max offer in another season if winning is more important as he claims. Making statement like becoming the first sports billionaire is pretty nieve.

Wade is older and also has more injuries...but i'd settle for Wade Lebron is apparently built like Wolverine. He's only missed 20 games his career.

Also lebron wants points, not spreading the ball. I don't want a ball stopper here and he doesn't want to be on a team where he'd be asked to pass more. T-mac is a better passer anyways. Keep T-mac.

Quote: James on Monday clarified a remark he made last week that a maximum contract next summer isn't that important to the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar. "Let's get this clear: I said the max contract doesn't mean more than winning," James said. "I didn't say, 'I don't need a max contract' or 'I'm not going to get a max contract.' All I'm saying is that winning is more...
