Considering the regular season...Seems about right. Considering the regular season's ability to thaw the winter ice for several long months, it'd be nice to move it up on the list, but it certainly doesn't match the excitement of the others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065540832536414256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992272584755113776.post-2499913836173667282014-07-10T22:50:59.300-05:002014-07-10T22:50:59.300-05:00Not 7? The two year opt out, and then on to Cleve...Not 7? The two year opt out, and then on to Cleveland does make a lot of sense. But have you considered the version where Lebron comes to play for Milwaukee, mainly because it's a burgeoning cultural metropolis. "North Beach" if you will. That, and he can't resist the lure of squeaky cheese curds. Milwaukee's also close to home, but not too close, so the grandparents can't pack up the old K-car more than every other weekend (don't ruin the fantasy with any talk of private family jets- absurdist mularkey). Turns out Lebron and Larry Sanders share an affinity for Impressionist Art and hiking, so in the future to come, they spend countless hours roaming the Baraboo Hills: drinking local wines, pontificating over the merits of Rousseau, even missing a game against the Bulls because Lebron is NOT GOOD with a compass (did you see 'the Decision'?). He and Larry also start their own Local Cable TV Variety Show, strangely called "The Larry Sanders Show", in which Lebron plays a very affable Ed McMahon to foil Larry's Conanesque antics. It does well... for the 11pm Wednesday night slot. Turns out Lebron also plays sidekick on the court as well, as Ramon Sessions re-signs for peanuts, but then goes on to lead the Eastern Conference in scoring AND assists. Just saying... don't be surprised... you heard it here first.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065540832536414256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992272584755113776.post-39930142953516097692014-07-10T17:53:59.498-05:002014-07-10T17:53:59.498-05:00I think he ends up in Cleveland, but not for 2 yea...I think he ends up in Cleveland, but not for 2 years. 2 more shots with the super friends, Ray Allen and some other thrown ins wins them the East and 6 consecutive trips to the finals. Irving isn't going anywhere as he is about to resign for 5 years. That allows 2 years for them to figure out what they have in Wiggins, Bennett, Waiters, and Thompson who will all still be on Rookie contracts. Then Lebron sweeps in to lead the kids to another 6 finals. Poor Bucks.

Beyond chasing championships with that young nucleus, and restoring his hometown rep, this is his shot (in his prime) to have his "own" team. If Cleveland is the case, it'll be interesting to see how his contract shakes out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065540832536414256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992272584755113776.post-32159838004299708312014-07-09T19:31:38.537-05:002014-07-09T19:31:38.537-05:00My ranking of NBA "seasons":
