LeBron to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami?

Reports are surfacing that LeBron has already made up his mind, and will announce tonight that he will join Wade and Bosh with the Miami Heat.  We will find out tonight, when he LeBron announces on national television his ultimate decision.

I'm still not buying into any of this speculation.  How many times has ESPN and Chris Broussard flip-flopped on where they think LeBron will go?  ESPN has latched on to this story for months, maybe even years, and has done nothing but enable Team LeBron.  Only LeBron and Maverick Carter know his "Decision", and thus no one should be reporting anything until we watch LeBron's television spectacle in approximately 6 hours tonight.

If he does leave, I blame everything on Chris Bosh.  Had Chris Bosh, (who looks like an Avatar) agreed to join LeBron in Cleveland, the Cavaliers would be smiling right about now as they knew that LeBron would return.  The lure of Bosh and Wade in Miami is a tough choice, but so is playing with Amare Stoudemire in New York.  It seems as if the Cavaliers are not the favorite anymore, but I still think we have a chance.

LeBron will be announcing his decision in Connecticut, and some have speculated that this means he will sign with the Knicks.  He does have a love affair with Madison Square Garden, but that doesn't mean he will sign with them.  Mike Dantoni isn't exactly the coach who gives LeBron the best shot to win a championship. 

I still think that the Cavaliers signing Byron Scott will have an immense impact on LeBron's decision.  LeBron's best friend Chris Paul has been reported to be urging LeBron to stay with Cleveland and give Byron a shot to take him to the promised land.  The Cavaliers have apparently have vigorously tried to trade for Paul, but with no success.  However, Scott has won championships as a player, and has led the Nets to several NBA Finals appearances.  He has the experience to coach a superstar in LeBron, and work with our supporting cast to get the most out of them.

The future of the Cavaliers franchise will be determined in a few short hours.  There have been estimates that predict the value of Dan Gilbert's investment could decrease by $150 million or more if LeBron decides to team up with Bosh and Wade.  LeBron need to stay in Cleveland.  Dan Gilbert is committed to making us a championship contender each and every year. 

This summer of free agency is just one of many to come.  There are always blockbuster trades during the season and if LeBron does stay, rest assured the Cavs will do everything in their power to improve an already impressive roster.  Hickson and Varejao are underrated big-men.  Besides, if LeBron goes to Miami he isn't the number one option anymore.  Wade has proven to be more trustworthy in the clutch.  Does LeBron really need to go play with Wade and Bosh to win a championship?  I don't think so.  Hopefully he makes the right move.  All of Cleveland will mourn if he goes on National Television and announces he is leaving.  We've already had enough heartbreak.  Cleveland deserves better than that.  LeBron James is Underrated
