Being a Cavs fan, i really want Lebron James to stay in Cleveland. What are some thought???

as long as they keep the players around him like they did this year he will stay in cleveland.

AGREED!!!

Keep Mo, Draft young talent. Keep LeBron

Coming into this season, I thought LeBron would bail...After it, I think LeBron is staying for a long, long time

Lebron will sign in the off season and then when all the other big names become FA's.....here comes Bosh and Wade....

Boston can have their big 3....Cleveland will have their huge 4 in Lebron Bosh Wade and Williams

You cannot have that many superstars on one team!

would rather have nash than wade. plus they could never sign wade with the talent that was mentioned. i would love to see this team with a true point guard such as nash.

Nash is the worst defender in the NBA and Cleveland prides itself on its defense.

I dont see Lebron going anywhere else for the foreseeable future.
Hes a Cleveland kid, his family is there, his past is there, his fans are there.

going for offense and sacrificing defense. plus when youve got Z back there to block shots i dont think nash's defensive shortcomings would be that noticeable. they would avg about 115-120 a game and not give up much in the way of defense. would dwight howard be available?

Phoenix tried that with Nash for a while and it got them nowhere...Mo is the perfect fit.

Nash requires the ball in his hands to make plays, as does LeBron...With Nash, LeBron's playmaking ability would be limited...Mo is happy giving the ball to LeBron and spotting up.

in that scenario i would put nash at 1, move mo to 2, and move lebron to 3. this way lebron wouldnt have to work with the ball in hand so much. just thinking out loud.

I'm a Steve Nash fan, but I'm not sure he's exactly the right fit in Cleveland. But, heck, he couldn't hurt, either.

What about Andre Miller? A good veteran. Spent his first three years in Cleveland. He's a career 15 ppg, 7 apg, 4 rpg, 2 spg guy.
2001-02 - his last season with Cavs - 17 ppg, 11 apg, 5 rpg.
Durable, too, avg 74 games played per season.

Or maybe a young guy like Deron Williams ... 16 ppg, 9 apg, 3 rpg, 1 spg.

deron williams is a stud also. my thinking on the point guard thing is if you can free lebron from having to handle the ball out front all the time, he could be roaming free all over the place. and what 3 spot can even try to guard him? again im just throwing stuff out there. the team they have this year seems pretty darn good but are not getting any resistance from their competition. are the cavs that good or is everyone else so far that bad. lebron would be my ultimate player as a coach. he seems like has a great head on his shoulders, seems to stay out of the after hours stuff, and he is pretty humble in the interviews ive heard from him plus he does a great interview on the breakdown of the game. either a future coach or broadcaster imo.

I don't think there's anybody at the 2, 3 or 4 that can guard Lebron straight-up. He's bigger and stronger than just about anybody at the 2 or 3 and is waaaaaay too quick for any 4 in The Association.

Wow. Nash over Wade? Are you serious? Thats easily the top 5 dumbest things i've ever heard. Wade is young and has a ton of talent and has a lot left in the tank. Nash might have 3 more decent years left in him. But I highly doubt the Cavs will be able to get Wade and Bosh. I would love to see them get Bosh. With Big Z's age Bosh would be an excellent pick up and would just help LeBron out even more. Bosh underneath, LeBron winning the MVP every year and Mo running the show. What a BIG 3. That would put Boston's Big 3 to shame.

who said they would rather have nash over wade? are you talking to yourself?

i was talking about signability there junior. theres no way you can get wade and bosh and still be under the cap. plus you put two stars like that together and that might be 1 too many roosters in the henhouse. nash's best years are behind him but he can still get people the ball and that is all cleveland needs, if that. they have great chemistry right now but mo williams will never have another year like this year.

I think the Cavs have the players they need and want. I don't think adding a big name player to the team will help. The Cavs are a close nit group of guys and bringing in another star will not help but hurt the team.
As far as Lebrons future in Cleveland......
If the money and situation is right then he is gone!!
He is not happy just being the best player in the NBA or being rich. The kid wants to be the best ever and he wants to be a billionare. If he sees an oppertunity to do those things some where else then he will take it.

he seems pretty happy in cleveland, not to mention the fact that cleveland is very good right now. if he really does want out he hides it really well.
