    Not as badly as you will  suck as a poster on this board, however 😛

  • You asking if we would choose?

    There is no doubt, Modell is THE major scumbag in Cleveland history.

    LeBron did not take the team with him.  Just himself.  

    And FYI, I don't think it will be long at all before the Cavs are competitive.   They MAY even make the playoffs this year.  

    Sure, no one ever may have been as good as LeBron.   But they have Love, TT

    Here is their current roster:

    Cleveland Cavaliers Roster

    Not saying this is a great roster, but in the East it could be competitive.   You will have  Tristan and Love at the 4-5 (despite what it says here about both being centers).

    Clarkson/Hill/Sexton could be a halfway decent PG combo initially.   I think Sexton could end up being as good or better than Kyrie.   Smith, Korver, Hood at Shooting Guard....can suffice for now.  Need for an upgrade?  Certainly, but they are veteran hands....who have played in a lot of postseasons.    Small Forward, the position that LeBron vacates is the big hole. Osman is the ONLY one on the roster.   I think some kind of acquisition may have to be made.

    .....But, how about this:  does another local product, from Revere HS, have the ability to switch and to succeed at the SF spot?  Or is strictly a PF.  I mean Larry Nance Jr. He is the same height as LeBron....but not as heavy.

    Whether or not Brown should have been fired is still open for debate, but my answer stands...That's when I started despising Art Modell.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Now the Artful Dodger vs LeBron, no contest LeBron tried hard for 11 years and broke that seemingly 100 year drought for Cleveland winning any major sports title basically by himself. 

    Art was a low life hustler.

  • LeBron knew he was going to LA many moons ago and basically kept the Cavs in limbo by not informing them of such keeping them hostage with no options to improve the roster until he left. This should be otherwise known as the proverbial bitch slap to Mr. Gilbert's face. But Art still gets my vote and it's not even close.

    Paul Brown was arguably the most important head coach in NFL history. Without a doubt, he had an ENORMOUS fingerprint on the '64 Browns team. 

    But the Browns had hit the wall under Brown. They needed new blood.

    Art Modell eventually turned the Browns into a mediocre franchise. The Browns record, post Blanton Collier to 1995 was basically .500... but he made the right move moving on from Brown.

    Amen brother to everything you wrote. 

  • Art and LBJ is not even in the running.

  • Paul Brown? WTF does he have to do with this schidt?

    Paul Browns would have been fired by everyone here. Art, the owner gets off of a plan, and is dumbfounded by reporters asking him his reasoning for trading Bobby Mitchel to get after Ernie Davis. That kind of insubordination gets you fired no matter who you are. The reality is, people hate Modell so no matter WTF PB did, people here will defend it. There is no objectivity here.

    Jim Brown.................. not Art Modell.................. JIM BROWN was responsible for getting Paul Brown fired. Jim did not want Ernie Davis in the backfield. From that moment on, JB was against PB. PB did it to himself. Fukc Paul Brown, he spent more time as a Bengal than he did a Brown. Fukc him and Fukc his Bengals.................

    INCIDENTALLY........................................................ If it wasn't for Art Modell............. PB would not have had the money or position to be awarded the Bengals. THAT WAS ALL MODELL.

    Modell was a great man. He was a great owner and he loved the Browns. The city of Cleveland lost their fukcing team, that isn't on Modell. Cleveland is the land of the dumbest fukctards on Earth.

    What does Modell have in common with LeBron? Without them, there is no winning in Cleveland.

    Art Modell was a great man.

    This is the underlying truth.

    The Browns had the worst friggin' stadium.  The league made the Browns use the visitors locker room because it was too small for an NFL team to have to use.  He may not always have been the greatest business man.  But the city gave Elvis, the Cav's and the Tribe a new stadium....none for him.  So he left (which is, of course, unforgivable).  The city was then told by the league, "If you wanna team, then build a new stadium".    So they DID!   Isn't the stadium great?!  No?!

    Gip- the Cavs are almost going to be forced to tank.  Reason? Take it to the bank they want to keep their protected 2019 draft pick. Which they only get to keep if they're in the bottom 10, otherwise it goes to Atlanta as part of the Kyle Korver deal. 

    They'll unload salary too, so don't be surprised if Love gets traded.   

    Modell still tops LeBron though. It was long reported this time around the odds of him staying in Cleveland were remote. He's still good enough to get the Lakers to the playoffs, but his quest to play in another final anytime soon is out the window. No way in hell can the Lakers as currently constituted beat the Warriors, and probably not Houston or OKC either. Plus James will turn 34 the end of 2018, and you have to wonder how many years of top level performance he has left.   Wonder if he'll stick around long enough to take a shot at Kareem's points record. He's around 7,200 behind, and he'll need at least 4 years at his current production to catch him. 

    Another thing going to the Lakers- unless he wins a Championship or two, he'll always be in the shadow of Magic and Kobe.  

  •  Larry like I said going to LA basically was LeBron's retirement announcement. Or shall we say semi retirement. He will continue to play but basketball will be only his sideline occupation to his Hollywood mogul business

    And he was schmucking broke. and even with the $75 million bribe, (that Cleveland couldn't offer him to stay) he was forced to sell out because he couldn't even make interest payment on all the loans he had taken out. 

    His honorable path would have been to sell out to Al Lerner, but nope, he wanted to keep being a Big Shot owner, and pass the team down to his kid. In the end, Art got exactly what he deserved.

    And without looking anything else up he paid about  $4 million for the BROWNS. 

    This was fundamentally about FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES....

    QUESTION : how could/would the Artful Tax Dodger pass the BROWNS down to his family now being worth hundreds of millions of dollars. 

    ANSWER: A big sweetheart cash deal worth millions.

    How sad for the people of Cleveland, Ohio.
