LeBron James apparently thinks he can give advice on what free agents the Cavs should sign. This is what I hate about pro basketball, just when we have a damn good end to the playoffs and avoid a labor dispute, some shit like this reminds how selfish the players have gotten. The kid is 20 years old, sure he's played very well for his age, but still does being an all-star and having a huge sneaker deal make you be able to make choices to where the franchise goes? Sorry to rant, but I hate when these players making millions and millions of dollars are selfish

I don't see the problem with this. He's their star and they want him to be the future of their franchise, so he should have some say in the guys that will be taking up the other 4 spots on the court with him. If this was another sport, it'd be different, but I don't see the problem with a basketball player speaking out on this.

whatever Lebron wants seems like the what the CAVS try to pursue. Joe Johnson will not be there(Cleveland) next year and I'm 100 percent sure of that. Now that Q is being traded.

Well, its OKAY...

they shouldnt treat LeBron with all the respect that he doesnt need yet....and no, hes not the next jordan if he cant get his entire team to the playoffs

and that, in turn, is the same reason why they need him to pick...to make him confortable about his teammates

Im not a big LeBron fan...specially with all the comparisons to Jordan, because hes not...but for him to pick is best for the Cavs
