Where Will LEBRON go??



The deepest free agent class in history including Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and Lebron James.


The Million dollar question is where will Lebron go? Let's review all the possible destination for Lebron.


CLEVELAND CAVALIERS

Why? This is where it all began. He was selected by this club 1st overall pick back at 2003 and let's just say the rest is history.
REASONS WHY HE WOULD STAY:Could Lebron just walk away from this team? I mean they rebuild the roster for him, named streets for him, made a song for him and even held "LEBRON APPRECIATION DAY".
But Lebron has decided that he will test the free agent market ,so Cavs fans just hope that the KING will stay.

REASONS WHY HE SHOULD GO: The Cavs got the "Inconsistent" Mo Williams he is a good regular season player but an average post season player. Players should step up in the playoffs not the other way around. And he can't play D.
Shaquille O'neil his old,inconsistent and he can barely jump! Also an injury-prone player.
Antawn Jamison ever since he came to Cleveland he struggled and on the Boston series he was awful, Kevin Garnett just had his way with him.
The only promising player the Cavs have is J.J Hickson and he is not playing. Oh wait making a case for Anderson Varejao? Hmm he is the ultimate flopper and also has no offence,Enough said.
The Cavs also has NO coach as of this time.
POSSIBILITY: Likely
WHAT WILL THE TEAM NEED TO DO?
Get young, Trade for younger players who can keep up with Lebron and can play D.
Have a REAL coach.
The Cavs have to make changes quick, its their star to lose.


CHICAGO BULLS
why? The Bulls are dedicated to winning and they might have the best pieces to offer Lebron.

REASONS TO GO HERE: The Bulls already has a all-star in Derrick Rose and a Productive bigmen in Joakim Noah.
They also have Luol Deng a player who has size to defend the 3 and 4 spot and can score in anywhere.
They also have Taj Gibson a rebounding freak with a huge upside.
A solid bench
A new coach in Tom Thibodeau. If you don't know him he was the mastermind behind the Boston Celtics tenacious defense.
He could also play where his idol played (MICHEAL JORDAN).
The Bulls also has enough money to sign another star via free agency, I'm picking they go with Chris Bosh. Imagine Derrick Rose lobbing the ball to Lebron or dishing it out to Bosh for the sweet jay that team will be Lethal, How could you stop that?


REASONS NOT TO: NOTHING! There is no reason for Lebron not to go here, If Lebron is dedicated to win he should go here.
If the Bulls also sign Bosh or Stoudamire, Then we are witnessing a DYNASTY.
POSSIBILITY: Very likely
WHAT WILL THE TEAM NEED TO DO?
Sign Bosh or Stoudamire, Not Wade imagine Lebron or Wade playing together who will take charge? Who will take the last shot? I don't think that at this time Lebron and Wade and play with each other, Both have large egos and are ball-hogs.
If Lebron signs here it is a beginning of a dynasty.


NEW JERSEY NETS
why? They have two all-stars and a new owner.

REASONS TO GO HERE: The Nets have Devin Harris a flashy-point guard who can score in bunches.
Brook Lopez a star in the making bigmen.
Derrick Favors as the 3rd pick in the 2010 draft has real potential to be a stud.
Great coach in Avery Johnson, He handled Dirk Nowitzki so he has experience handling franchise players.
A new owner in Mikhail Prokhorov.

REASON NOT TO: The Nets were the WORST team in the NBA last year, So expect a lot of adjustments for the first part of the season.
POSSIBILITY: Likely
WHAT WILL THE TEAM NEED TO DO:
Sign Lebron.
Sign other players via free agency that could be role player or a veteran, like Ray Allen.
Adjustments will be made and expect Avery to build a great team.


NEW YORK KNICKS
why? MSG the grandest stage of them all.

REASONS TO GO HERE: They have David Lee a double-double type machine.
A former all-star in Tracy McGrady. Still think he has some game in him
A ton of players with potential like Danilo Gallinari, Tony Douglas and Wilson Chandler.
They also have enough money to get another star.
The up-tempo type pf play will suit Lebron perfectly.
It's New York, Lebron loves playing here.

REASONS NOT TO: The Knicks doesn't know how to play defense, Especially its players or better yet their coach Mike D' Antoni remember the Suns?
They have no legitimate center, Size does matter in Basketball.

POSSIBILITY: UNLIKELY
WHAT WILL THE TEAM NEED TO DO?
Trade David lee or tmac for a point guard, Like Kirk Hinrich or Darren Collison or dare i say Chris Paul.
Trade for a CENTER.
Sigh Bosh or Stoudamire.
Change their style of play, Teams that win championships are the ones who play defense that the other way around.

MIAMI HEAT

why? Its Miami with another Franchise player and a Great coach.

REASONS TO GO HERE:
Play alongside Dwayne Wade, for me i think it wont work but having two franchise players as teammates? Not bad.
Pat Riley is the coach, i'm sure Riley will not let this opportunity pass.
Great place to play with.
Can add Bosh or other big name star via free agency.

REASONS NOT TO GO HERE:
If Wade and Lebron can play with each other then there's no reason not to play here.
POSSIBILITY: LIKELY
WHAT WILL THE TEAM NEED TO DO?
Sign or trade for a point guard, who can play d and pass the ball.
Sign Lebron and Bosh, if these happen players will take a pay cut to join them.
Next to Chicago, Miami has the highest chance to grab James and eventually build a dynasty.

The FADEAWAY

Here we have our first move!The FADEAWAY JUMPER!Shown by the G.O.A.T Michael "Air" Jordan




POSITIVES* The "Fadeaway" for me that's the most unstoppable move Jordan created. He was the pioneer of doing this move to the extent of backing down your opponent, while allowing you to check your options and delivering for the kill. The move is performed by catching the ball in the post then setting your feet, back down your defender and you can choose to dribble or shoot the sweet fade-away instantly.
Now why is it unstoppable?

First of all, you cant block it without GREAT timing, even if your a tall guy the short guy has an advantage because he will keep you guessing what will he do next. Also the fade away was designed to draw fouls at the catch then avoid the long arms of the defender or height by "FADING" your shot. The longer your "hang time" is the better, Practice this move and you'll be scoring in no time.


NEGATIVES* All moves has a weakness and the fade way is no exception. In order for you to capitalize in doing this move you have to master the fundamentals. Why? Well because in order to set your feet,balance and body form you have to go over the basics to fully do this move.

Some people might argue that i'ts easy to do but give me other superstars aside from MJ,KOBE AND DIRK who does this move so perfectly. Another one is the offensive player must know how to establish his position in order to catch the ball and prevent the defensive player in stealing the ball.

And oh yeah the "hang time" you don't need to jump higher, you just need to jump at the right time in order to execute this move, For EX. Don't wait for the defensive player to react on your fakes when you have sight on the basket shoot it. Its better to be one step ahead of your opponent every time and also the fade away move was not design for holding the ball for too long because if you to do you allow your opponent to establish his stance and that may cost you.

Thanks for reading!
