C.C talked NBA with these guys for a good 10 minutes, namely James and where he'll end up.
He says he really has no idea where James is going to go 'a lot probably depends on where they go in the playoffs' he mentions.. As a friend to James, and a big time player himself, interesting to note that at the end of the interview when asked which scenario would be more likely to lead to James leaving, he says "If he won. I think it'd be easier for him to leave." .. As he says, he has no more of an idea than the next but still interesting nonetheless
really is sorta an odd feeling not knowing if I want the Cavs to lose quick and early or not... I'm still thinking that if James loses early / to Magic he'd be more likely to leave as opposed to when the champagne is poppin' after they won... i'm just not sure he'd do that...
at the same time, even if they do win the championship this yr, i think he knows that this Cavs team isn't going to any dynasty-status team..whereas a team like the Knicks [potentially] may be, as CC said, it'l be easier to 'move on' having won one for his state..
the more i think about it the more it makes sense now that he would actually be okay with leaving after winning it.. he isn't going to be disillusion about how good there team is even if they do win it... i think he'll still be somewhat unsatisfied [with the future] on the Cavs regardless.... Between LeBron walking away w his tail between his legs from his own state, a failure of sorts, and winning one for his team and now being able to move on to the big city of dreams having given Cleveland something to remember - i'm actually leaning towards the latter and him winning..
thoughts?

C.C :
" I think it depends on what happens this year in the playoffs and how they play, to see how close they get and if they win, how that weighs in his decision. I know he wants to go where he can win. I know he likes the idea of New York. "
nothing new, but yes he does
