Your LeBron James Announcement Thread

PrintOkay, guy. You have our attention.
Sometime after 9 PM tonight, LeBron James will presumably announce his free agency destination. This is your thread to express your excitement, disappointment, too-cool-for-schoolness, or whatever.
Now seems like an appropriate time to remind everyone that even the angriest comments should be respectful to other commenters and free of hate speech and slurs. No matter what happens, we'll probably have visitors who are fans of other teams. They should be treated with respect. If they are trolling, ignore them or flag them. I also request that if you guys choose to comment on other SBN blogs, you follow the rules of that blog and never, ever troll. If I see that you are causing trouble on other blogs, I will ban you. From the internet. I can do that.
Sit down, grab a snack (tell us what snack you choose!), and let's learn our fates. Just remember that it'll all be okay no matter what.
Also, a good place to stay up-to-date on the news is this here thread. Sk8 lyf.

i predict lebron says “i just really, really wanted to ruin rodger sherman’s birthday” as one of his reasons for deciding on whatever team he picks.

I don't give an F if Lebron announces his retirement or anything else he might say
When my too cool for schoolness is ever in doubt, refer back to this comment as proof of my bona fides
Haha thats was my first thought when I heard about all those orange Witness shirts
After that I asked myself, why would Nike want to promote early Harrison Ford?
no we cant do it
lets just act like nothing is gonna happen tonight, lets keep on posting how excited we are about jerome jordan!!!
That'd be awesome.
And he holds up a clippers jersey and everyone’s just like “WTF?”

So
We all hear that Miami pulled a welcome ad for LeBron from the Herald just now?
from ira winderman
“Heat pulled James, Bosh, Wade print ads not because of any knowledge of James decision, but because of unsigned status of Bosh and Wade.”
What does that mean?
I don’t understand that. Wade and Bosh were introduced and gave interviews.
question
i used to be a bigger nba fan when the hornets were in charlotte. im stil la hornets fan but its nowhere near as big as i used to be. two questions. do you agree with me that this lebron coverage is stupid? and are my hornets doomed for the future?
Lebron stuff is dumb
The Hornets are doomed only when they dare share the floor with the mighty Knicks
damn west coast
Work ends soon and have to figure out if I head home or watch it here. I think I’m gonna go with not letting a 25-year old man dictate my life and head on home…
What are the odds
he annouces that he’s making a major life decision and beginning next year will be playing for the New York Liberty?

He would have done this at the Boys and Girls Club
in Cleveland but he would have been robbed going into that place.
I can't wait to see the reaction of the crowd when Lebron goes back to Cleveland
for an actual game

[In my obnoxious Chris Broussard voice]
LeBron James and his crew just sent out text messages to the teams he turned down. My sources indicate Donnie Walsh texted him back saying “you will swim with the fish for this”.

Alright, whatever.
This is stupid, I shouldn’t even bother watching.
If LeBron goes to Miami I’d bet against them winning the title.
do we think if this doesn't work out
theres anyway that gstate deal goes down tonight or is there no way to know?
According to San Francisco Chronicle Live
Warriors expect a deal to take place if LeBron burns the Knicks

I hope he comes up to the mic and says,
“After thinking long and hard, I’ve decided to take another month to think this over, thank you.”
that's just cold

so, i'm having trouble here.
if he chooses the knicks, i’m going to have to post.
but if he chooses the knicks, i will lose all muscle control.
should i write a “he chose the knicks!” post right now and have it ready to post? or is that in bad taste?
Most of us may pass out if he chooses new york...

No matter what...
…I will be happy with where Donnie’s taking us. Even if LeBron goes to Miami, Amar’e is a good pickup, we needed to clear cap space, the possibility of the Warriors trade for Randolph is pretty sweet.
Hopefully Walsh will get water from the rock tonight, but if not, the slower climb to quality will be okay too.

i know i dont really mean that deal
more that they put up a billboard and talk shit and meet with all the superstars, and thats what they have to show for it, not really a shot at outlaw
not too worried either
