Lebron to Announce Decision after meeting with Riley tonight?(rumor)

[RMO]

Jeez people.  It was sarcasm.  Everyone and their mother is watching and waiting to see what Lebron will do.  I'll admit that I check my phone constantly throughout the day to see if anything has happened.  The meeting starts at 3pm (6pm EDT).

Cleveland is moronic if they don't wanna give up Wiggins when the underlying result could be Lebron/Love.

There's no way they don't give up Wiggins.  He hasn't signed his contract yet... they are fully prepared to trade him.   I'm sure they'll try landing Love without including Wiggins, but with Boston acting as leverage, Minnesota will get them to inevitably include Wiggins in the deal.

If they seriously play that "no wiggins" game, expect to see a tweet/article about how Minnesota is strongly considering Boston's offer.  Don't get overly excited when you see it... it's leaked posturing from Minny's side with the intention of forcing the Cavs to include Wiggins in their offer... which they will eventually do.

It doesn't matter what Cleveland wants if LeBron goes there he will make the decisions

Good point.

Btw... the tweet doesn't say he's announcing his decision at 6pm.  It says he's announcing it on lebronjames.com... and then amico suggests you start refreshing that page as of 6:00pm (the meeting with RIley is at 3:00pm pacific/6:00pm eastern)... misleading title.  I bet he announces it tomorrow.

Yeah, Amico's tounge-in-cheek comment got repeated sans sarcasm by another tweet and now it's:

Cleveland fans don't want to give up Wiggins for Love. They value their number 1 pick much more than a big man who can't play defense.

Lol... it's threads like this that cause internet rumors... before you know it, WEEI picks it up, some hacky national writer re-tweets it... and everyone sits around scratching their heads at 6:00pm wondering what the "hold-up" is.

Tell me, what has a better chance of competing for a championship in the next 3 years?

A Cavs team with Kyrie/Lebron/Love & filler ?

or

A Cavs team with Kyrie/Wiggins & filler?  Maybe you still get Lebron who knows.

Potential is great & all but when you have, at minimum, a conference championship in your lap with a chance to win an NBA title in the right now, to hell with the potential.

GMs make the decisions, not the fans. Fans are spectators.

I'm not buying that LeBron is going back the Cleveland unless they get Love.

[LarBrd33]

If he goes back to Cleveland... they'll get Love.

Nobody is beating their best offer.

Or they could just have Melo and LeBron split their 40 mil in cap space and call it a day... then add Love for pennies on the dollar at the trade deadline.

Kyrie, Wiggins, Love, Melo and LeBron

[heyvik]

If LeBron is meeting with Riley and Wade, why isn't he meeting with Bosh too? Must signal going back to Cleveland IMO

[celticsclay]

So just to summarize this is officially going to be announced on lebronjames.com at 6pm EST? *Grabs popcorn

[Fafnir]

Or they could just have Melo and LeBron split their 40 mil in cap space and call it a day... then add Love for pennies on the dollar at the trade deadline.

I responded to this in another thread, they don't have anywhere near 40 million in cap space.

Edit: If they have $40 million in cap space why did they need to trade a first round pick to dump $10 million in salary to be able to afford LBJ a max offer?
