No matter what I watch or read, I still believe that in the end it will all be about money.

If he can get the right combo of players around him I think he can be better than Kobe and we will worry about Jordan later. Kobe was inherited to Shaq in his prime when he first was drafted. If Lebron got that luck he would have had four to five rings. Kobe has now lost two championships of three since being without Shaq and has failed two make the playoffs twice on his own with no other allstars on the team. Lebron on the other hand took his team to the finals on his own with no supporting cast, yes he showed a far superior ability. The problem with dealing with the money is the fact that it doesn’t matter because every team pretty much can only offer the same, watch his movie, documentary, and read his bio and I believe you will change your whole opinion on him going for the money.

Eh, In my opinion whoever can offer him the most money is where he will end up. His legacy will never compare with Michael or Kobe if he stays in Ohio, its just a simple fact. NYC however would offer him the long term business opportunities that any athlete would crave. I have not seen those reports so im not entirely sure, and its all speculation at this point anyway. But in the end of the Cavs offer him the most, he will stay, otherwise he should be gone.

No your correct Cleveland can offer him the most money, but I don’t think thats what it’s down to. Technically New York can offer him $100 million plus $100+ in stock of the company that owns the Knicks recent reports have shown. If he was all about the money he would bolt away for jersey sales, etc but I feel Lebron is one of the few athlete’s who is a true and honest guy and will stay with his hometown roots.

Hope I wrote it right, Cleveland can offer Lebron more money than anyone in the league, and thats why I ultimately think he will stay there.

Lebron will stay in Cleveland, watching his movie, reading thousands of articles about him he is such a loyal guy and cares more about his city than anything and the desire to bring a championship there. I believe he would take less money to stay there even than going to anywhere else. Cleveland just needs to be smart with their limited cap space and make the right moves. One that is intriguing is a sign and trade with Toronto, Chris Bosh for Antwain Jamison and J.J. Hickson. Salaries match up, Bosh loves Lebron and already stated he is signing anywhere he goes, and thirdly Toronto already knows they lost Bosh so might as well take something in return. Money does talk but for Lebron I think things will be different.
