It's obvious that LeBron had Chris "puppet" Broussard spread the lies after the Cavaliers got bumped that he'd be going to Chicago. Then he had Chris say that he'd want to go to the Knicks to pair up with Amare this year because they'd have Tony Parker this year & Carmelo the next. Then this whole week he had Chris plant the seed that Miami isn't far-fetched. And now Ric Bucher is pulling the plug on the rumor. HMMMM
The only thing that this adds up to is a opportunity for LeBron to break tv viewer records (seinfeld/sopranos ending, superbowl)
so that he'll have his own show somethime in the near future because he would have displayed a product that people are keenly interested in.
Aside from that nonsense it only makes sense that LeBron would go to the Nets because
A) As shown this week, his EGO is unmatched, so it's impossible for those 3 to coexist past the time table of 2 years.
B) When you state to the public approx. 2 years ago that you want to be a billionaire athlete with rings and dont want to worry about playing for a paycheck in your 30's, why would you turn down a shady Billionaire Russian Guy who's arrogance befriends your own, who hired Avery Johnson, drafted a potential all star PF in Favors, an already vet/all star center/pg in Lopez & Harris, is targeting Tyrus Thomas/Outlaw [the celticsblog board's man crushes] along with kyle korver, and has said that he'll do anything with all his power to get chris paul [who is signed to lebrons' brand] and has literally laid out the blueprint to make you a billionaire, not to mention your homeboy jay-z will be there.
There are a handful of materialistic-egocentric fools in the nba, lebron's no exception, so why turn down this sure billionaire thing to buddy up for titles with wade & bosh who will hurt your image/brand because you didn't get the ring(s) on your own? And undoubtedly make your quest for billions that much longer.
The only reason why LeBron hasn't outright said that NETS aren't his choice is because of the location of the arena [newark NJ] which is to say the very least even unpleasant for Devils fans to endure.
So what to do? It's obvious that the Russian Billionaire will team up with the mayor to clean up Newark for LeBron [for the time being until they move to brooklyn]. That's why the Boys & Girls club idea was brought up. To soften the blow of when LeBron & Co. say they want to help "clean/eradicate" newark, for the kids.
