This is the place for every piece of juicy gossip, unsubstantiated rumor, unreliable tweets and every meaningless ESPN update over the next two months.
I'll start:

But the source close to Wesley said James has not made a decision and that leaving Ohio won't be easy. "He has a $30 million compound there and with all his friends and family there that aren't going to just leave for another city, it's not easy to just leave," the source said, pointing out that James has spent his entire life in the Akron-Cleveland area. The source said that anyone who says what James is going to do is "lying, because he doesn't know now." sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5194333

Nice overview of why I don't necessarily think the LeBron+Rose+Noah combo would be world-beating that I mentioned in the other "woe-is-me" thread. Bingo: where are the shooters that are going to beat Orlando's 3-point barrage? Noah is an energy guy in the Varajao mold, but would get eaten up by Howard.

.......AAAAAND the LeBron induced carnage continues. Danny Ferry and Cavs agree to part ways.
Browns now the most stable franchise in Cleveland. Ugh...

For the record, I think both Ferry and Brown will have success elsewhere. Like they did in Cleveland.

I really hope the Cavs don't let Lebron pick his own GM and coach. Just because a player is a superstar doesn't mean he has the eye for assembling a team and all that stuff. Jordan and Jerry Krause HATED each other. Absolutely hated each other. So much that Jordan even all those years later still trashed Krause in his HOF speech. But not even Jordan was allowed to get rid of him, and Krause put together a team around him.
This has to be a good sign though. "We got rid of the coach and the GM you didn't like." Makes it even harder for Lebron to leave now.

Cleveland's going to end up with Calipari. I can just feel it.

Turns out that might be a hoax.

Yep just saw that. I think it's safe to assume this is NOT a guy Ferry would have offered.
