NBA Screwed?: James Leaning Towards Heat

[SmootSmack]

I still have no clue where he's playing, as late as this morning I've heard equally reliable people say Knicks, Heat, Cavs, Bulls, even Nets. The only team that seems to be out is the Clippers...which means he'll sign with them. Maybe I'll swing by his announcement tonight and make a last minute pitch to him to join the Wizards.

I don't believe him signing with the Heat will have any negative impact on the league, but I do question James' decision to sign with the Heat (if he does). I'm not a LeBron hater by any means at all. But I don't know how signing with the Heat and joining a team led by D Wade that has already won a title would help James in his bid to be considered on of the greatest all time. I think if he goes somewhere like New York and leads them to their first title in 30 some years that's one thing, joining Wade in Miami and winning a title is another.

This isn't like the Celtics where none of the Big 3 had won a title yet, or Houston where Pippen and Olajuwon already had titles and Drexler was looking for a ring to end his career (or even LA, with Shaq, Kobe, and the Mailman).
