I'm referring to the whole package in Cleveland, players, owner, GM, coach, city and team - he has it all.
Lakers & Celtics can't afford him.
Bulls, Nets, Clippers and Knicks suck, so forget that rich media stuff - he has it now and he does NOT want to play for a loser.
With the salary cap changing, he would be a one may show in probably almost every team.
The salary cap is pretty complicated, but thankfully it's not a free for all like baseball.
They could not do it with just Z - tried that last year and were exposed by Dwight Howard, so they had to add a big man to shove the "Superman Want Tobe" around. Adding Jamison was a huge freebie. Everyone in the world knew Z was coming back in 30 days. It was the most brilliant move a Cleveland team has pulled off in the last 20 years.
I have been thru just as many losing seasons as every other Cleveland fan and this is the best chance in a long time to get a championship, but they still are not the odds favorite to win it.
Later - Scott
