The Cavs coddled LBJ and his entourage. I really hope both Gilbert and LBJ learned their lesson that they have to draw the line somewhere. I'd like to think LBJ has matured beyond that, but we'll see. LBJ also tried to run personnel in Cleveland the first time around and that didn't really work out too well either.

Ok, now we need Melo to Miami.

This whole thing is really hilarious. It's like a guy leaving his wife because she got fat for the hot stripper. Once the stripper turns into an old wrinkly ass he comes crawling back to his ex who just lost a bunch of weight and got breast implants LMAO

Nothing. But they're still the Lakers. For a couple years, they had a line up that made LeBron's cleveland teams look like the Olympic team. A couple years later, they went to the Finals 3 times, winning 2 times.

I hate Jim Buss as much as anyone, but at the end of the day, it's still the Lakers. They can never be counted out.

Didn't they put together a "dream team" of Bryant, gasol, Nash, and Howard?

I don't think there's anybody comparable to LeBron's value to a team in any other major sport.

Peyton Manning.

You saw how bad the Colts were without him.

Wade is standing next to LeBron at his camp. Clearly going back to Miami now.

That was my first though as well. Funny how both guys are known to be regular season bad asses and playoff chockers including this past season as well. Great comparison.

For the record, I'm happy he's in Cleveland. I still don't think he's Jordan. And I don't think he closes games the way Jordan does. But Lebron didn't choke in the playoffs last year.

More on LeBron's entourage, this is from the Finals

Perhaps no one has clutched him tighter than his childhood friends, Rich Paul, the agent, and Maverick Carter, the marketing man. He has bankrolled the agency, the marketing company that included a guest at Sunday night's game wearing a backward Cleveland Cavaliers cap – Johnny Manziel.

Most times, James' inner circle moves easily through the corridors and news conferences where rival agents are rarely, if ever, credentialed in the NBA Finals. In the regular season and playoffs, you'll see star agents with the run of arenas, but never with league-issued passes. There are benefits to working with the King, and perhaps that's why Paul seemed so perplexed when a dutiful arena guard wouldn't let him into his client's news conference late Sunday.

"I'm LeBron James' agent," Rich Paul told the security woman.

She looked at his credential. She looked at him. She shrugged.

I'm LeBron James' agent," Paul said again. "What don't you understand about that?

She told him simply that his credential didn't allow access into the news conference. She didn't seem confused, nor doubting of his fancy job. This was a news conference, and he didn't seem to be a reporter, nor a team official.

Paul was reaching now. "I can't be LeBron James' agent because I've got sneakers on?"

She hadn't been studying his shoes, but she did glance down and they didn't seem to bother her. Paul could see Carter inside the news conference room, sitting on a chair, awaiting James' arrival. How he made it past security and Paul couldn't, well, it seemed baffling to him. He wasn't a happy man, but his business is LeBron James, and business has never been better.

James delivers everyone the ultimate backstage pass now, especially these childhood friends running his business affairs.
