Not necessarily, LeBron wants to win and if Cavs ownership, is like any other sports ownership in CLE. than they will be cheap and not get LeBron the players needed to win, thus allowing LeBron to leave.

Also, thank God this injury wasn't PHYSICALLY harmful, but who knows the psyche. This is the first time LeBron has been injured like this and he may be reluctant to go in hard like he used to... he may have the flutters in situations he didn't thereby hurting his overall game. (Let's hope not but seriously, we in CLE have seen it. Lofton sliding into first and damaging his shoulder, he's never been that "A" caliber player he was before.)

One thing truly pissing me off was listening to Silas on one of the tv sports news (thinking WKYC) saying the Cavs "are truly not a GOOD team without LeBron."

WTF was that??????? Maybe the Cavs aren't a GREAT team without KIng James, but Z is one of the best Centers in the NBA, Jeff McInnis is a great team leader, Gooden is coming around, the Cavs are a pretty decent team in every position, LeBron just ups them into that higher plane. But to give him so much credit that the team is "truly not a GOOD team without" him is ludicrous coming from the COACH, who is supposed to believe in his TEAM not just a player. We have our Pippen and Kerr , in Z and McInnis..... maybe we need to get rid of trash and bring in our Jackson instead of a biased coach, that believes the team wins or loses based on 1 player.

Sorry for the rant, but that is what CLE sports is like. We get a great player, a team player with a very above average team around him and even the coach is believing we are losers without him.

Same thing happened with the TRIBE and Belle.... we had a great team without him but everyone believed HE WAS the team, including Hargrove and Hart.
