You are worried about how the owner treated Lebron? Lebron made a freaking show out of leaving Cleveland. I can't speak for Gilbert, but I'd hope that is the primary motivation behind the letter. If LeBron had simply announced his decision in a more traditional fashion, without all the hysteria and buildup, we probably wouldn't have seen a letter like that.

As much as we'd all like to hope the Heat fail, I don't see it happening. This is how I see the East shaking out: 1. Heat - 64 wins 2. Magic - 58 wins 3. Bulls - 55 wins 4. Hawks - 52 wins 5. Bucks - 48 wins 6. Bobcats - 44 wins 7. Nets - 40 wins 8. Cavs - 38 wins

That BR blog also said the following...
-
Basketball Reference did some statistical guessing about Wade, Bosh and Lebron in Miami. Depending on the model, they're predicting anything from 60-70 wins, even if the Heat's roster is filled out by NBDL level players.
-
If he wants to be an elite defender, he could start by blocking more shots than his new 6'4" teammate.
-
Cool! I'm CC over there also. You guys just doubled the Heat's fan base. Nice work.

The Bucks signed Drew Gooden and Corey Maggette, so watch out.
-
Yep somewhere in the upper 40's, flirting with 50 sounds about right to me. They won 41 games last year with Noah missing time, Rose hobbled for the first half of the year, and the worst tactical coach in the NBA. They just added one of the best interior scorers in basketball. Rose will get better. Noah will too. That's a lot of good stuff. The only loss is Hinrich and he's really not very good.
-
You think Carlos Boozer + 3 point shooter + young guy development - Hinrich - Miller = 20 game improvement? It must be exhausting to spend all your time in here trying to stir things up. Seriously.
-
The concept of attempting to build your brand in a place where you don't have a very good chance to win seems silly to me.
-
Because Rose, Boozer, Noah, Deng is far more appealing than Stoudemire and Gallinari or Mo Williams, Varejao and Jamison. That's the thinking, at least.

So, Nets or Knicks.
-
Where is that from? That's hilarious.
-
Carlos Boozer is the next Ron Mercer. Overrated, declining and injury-prone. This is going to suck.
-
I don't know if fail is the right word because I'm not sure they did anything wrong. Wade was always staying put (and eff him hard for using his kids in Chicago as drama for his documentary) and Bosh wanted to join LeBron or Wade, just not in Cleveland. Now LeBron will probably stay in Cleveland. There's probably not much more that Paxson, Forman, Reinsdorf could have done.
-
That'd be especially awesome if he chose Cleveland because they'd pan back http://cohee.name/coastermania/2000/Cleveland_skyline.jpg And no one would have any idea where the hell they were, because it looks like any other crappy Midwest city.
-
People should be realistic about Rose's ceiling. If the Bulls whiff in free agency, Rose would need to grow into a LeBron/Wade/Durant type of player to get the Bulls to a championship level. I don't think that's going to happen. He's going to be a really good player, but probably not at the level of those guys.
-
Actually, nobody signs until the 8th. He "committed". Ahh I see that now. Domino number one has fallen anyway. At least Knicks fans can look forward to 50 wins and a bunch of points every season. They're not winning 50 games with just Stoudemire added.
-
What else, besides bringing in Chris Bosh, would make him think he can win in Chicago? Derrick Rose?
-
It might be true. Cleveland's roster is as good as it's going to get right now. Their cap situation is pretty grim over the next few years, so there's not much room for improvement. LeBron should know this, too.
-
Deng makes twice as much as those guys And he's twice as good.
-
The best part of this entire circus is reading all the theories people have on why LeBron would want to do (or not do) something.
