Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James' departure in 2010 nothing but speculation In two years, it's a done deal: LeBron James absolutely, definitely without question will be playing for the New Jersey soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets. Gotta be, because James is big buds with Nets minor owner Jay-Z. Wait a minute, he wears a Yankees cap and once said Madison Square Garden was one of his ...

Can the New Jersey Nets just trade for LeBron already?!
clubhousecancer.com 7/1/2008 — Seriously. We have two more freakin’ years of this nonsense. LeBron James listed New York as his favorite city Monday (his hometown of Akron, Ohio came in fifth behind Washington D.C., Dallas, and Los Angeles) as he took part in a one-day USA Basketball media blitz. Dallas?? Dallas is a shithole that would be an eyesore dump in a 3 rd world nation, for christ’s sake. Double-Douchebag ...
LeBron in 2010: Knicks or Nets? —
Dime Magazine
LeBron
It's pretty obvious that the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets are doing whatever they can to free up as much salary cap space as possible for 2010, when LeBron (and Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade) hits the free agent market.
The Nets' draft-day trade for Yi Jianlian was seen as more than a basketball [...]

Where “Retarded Media Combined With Shallow Fans” Happens —
Cleveland Cavaliers
You have to be laughing your ass off if you’re a Cavs fan right now. And when somebody asks you why you’re so happy when you should be upset, worried, and afraid about the future of your team, you laugh harder.
If you’re one of those delusional fans who think that it’s a foregone conclusion that LeBron James is going to go play for Jay-Z and the New Jersey/Brooklyn ...

New York Newsday (Ken Berger) reports: “My favorite cities are New York; Washington, D.C.; Dallas, Texas; Los Angeles, California, and Akron, Ohio,” LeBron James said, pausing only before offering his hometown of Akron, which was suggested by me. “What’s your favorite borough?” LBJ was asked. “My favorite borough?” he said, without a hint of ...

WFNY? That’s Waiting For Next Year for all you non-Cleveland sports fans out there. I have been talking about this ever since the draft and an article was written by John Hollinger proclaiming that the trade of Richard Jefferson from New Jersey was undeniable proof that LeBron James was on his way to the Nets when his contract expires in 2010. I have grown tired of the ...
The 2010 Plan —
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans
You can’t read a story about an NBA transaction without hearing what kind of impact it will have on the 2010 free agents. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade can both opt out of their deals in the summer of 2010… along with other pretty good players like Chris Bosh and Michael Redd. The free agent list in 2010 doesn’t look too bad either.
While everyone is jockying for ...

Cleveland Cavaliers
I’m actually pretty alarmed that some fans were against this move considering what the Cavs were getting and what they were giving up.
The New Jersey Nets were having a firesale before the draft Thursday (yeah yeah, some say it’s to prepare for 2010, but let’s hope those people get struck by a lightning bolt soon or dissolve in a hurricane and just go away). Richard ...

It's a great day to be a New Jersey Nets fan.
Yeah, we dropped Richard Jefferson to the Bucks for on overpaid, injury-prone defensive specialist and the Chinese Andrea Bargiani, but still, it's a great, great day.
In moving RJ, we moved Cap Money. Now, 733 days from now, on July 1, 2010, we'll have somewhere in the neighborhood of $22M in open ...
Bucks Trade Yi for Richard Jefferson —
HoopsAvenue
According to SI,
The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed in principle to trade Yi Jianlian to the New Jersey Nets for Richard Jefferson, two league sources told SI.com.
It seems the Nets are absolutely making way for Lebron James when he becomes a free agent. And, Yi gets a chance to play in a big market that he really wanted to. The Bucks certainly improve, but they’ll need more than RJ to ...

Yi Jianlian is preparing to trade jerseys with the guy behind him
The New Jersey Nets decided they didn’t want to go through today’s NBA Draft hullabaloo without contributing to the headlines. So what did they and the Milwaukee Bucks do? They agreed to swap players — allegedly (I’m adding that in case the trade falls though).

NYDailyNews.com - Basketball
While it may look as if the Nets are ready to sacrifice the next two seasons so that they can make a major run at potential free agent LeBron James in 2010 there may be some reason for whatever fans remain in New Jersey to be hopeful.
