Official LBJ prediction thread

[TabascoElvis]

Ya, I don't see how he can go on National TV to put the stake in the heart of Cleveland.

You know, I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it. Would he? Could he? Cold, if so. Guess I'll see tonight on the ticker, I've got a lot of History Channel stuff to catch up with on DVR and no soccer recorded, so I'll avoid ESPN at all costs and quietly flip over before bed.

This is wild. . I'm changing my mind left and right.

I cannot see Miami. I just can't. The party, this is all a big show.

That Simmons article was fantastic, BTW Thrill, read it earlier today. Miami just cements LBJ as a hack who couldn't make it himself. It makes the least sense.

Want to win now? Chicago
Want to play the hero? Stay
Want to go and rescue a franchise? NY

Want to go and be part of a threesome, where you aren't even #1 on the team, lose all rights to legacy? Miami.

I'm going like this now:
1) NY
2) Cleveland
3) Miami
4) Chicago

Miami.

Jumping the gun a bit, and I know anything can happen, but barring injury what would the chances that Miami isn't the East rep in the finals? 70 win team, no?

He's signing with Cleveland.

I'm obviously not sure of that, but it makes the most sense out of all of this.

One thing I'd bet my damn net worth on is that he isn't going to sign in Miami. Won't happen. Can't happen.

If he does, there's really no predicting win total. Advanced NBA metrics put them over 82 win value based on the big 3 worth + a squad of replacement level players. I wouldn't be surprised if they won 45 or if they won 75. There's just no telling how that roster would gel.

But we don't have to worry about it, because he's not signing there.

Whomp whomp.

I'm not worth much, so it wasn't that big a bet.

I know nothing about the NBA and haven't been a part of any of these threads but did anyone see that documentary, "Heart of the Game" or whatever it was called about his high school team? Having seen that it doesn't surprise me that he's willing to share the spotlight with other great players if it means winning.

[Maclowery]

As long as he gets his own special (for the kids, though!)

But, ya, all about winning. N stuff.
