    No. Remember, Simmons advocated LeBron going to Chicago at the same time bashing him for potentially betraying his hometown by going anywhere not named Chicago or New York.

    It's pure doublespeak.

    Ironic that he compares the whole situation to Hulk Hogan joining the nWo. The fact that he leaves out is that the nWo was the best thing to happen to professional wrestling. Ratings were sky high and EVERYONE was watching.

    Simmons is an idiot. He lets his emotions control his writing...

    I hope Lebatard tares the guy a new a-hole at 5:00 pm, but he probably won't b/c he thinks simmons is "funny"

    He just said that he would definitely argue with Simmons and most likely with Adrian Woj at 4:30.

    Woj has been a hypocrite on the process too, but at least he had the integrity to slam Gilbert too. Simmons was cheering him. Makes sense coming from a guy who licks Mark cuban's boots

    Anybody else starting to hate Stan Van Gundy?

    I got news for you Stan, you were fired after one year at Wisconsin until Railey took pity on you because he was friends with your brother. You are nothing more than a pimple on Riley's ***. You only have the job you have now because of Pat Riley.

    Put on a tie and your big boy pants and shut the F up

    The incredible thing is that prior to 48 hours ago or so, I was ambivalent to LeBron and didn't like that he got so much more attention than Wade, now I'm defending him like he was my first born.

    The twists and turns of being a fan.

    Prepare for a letdown. Say, three or four letdowns over the next six years.

    I don't watch basketball. People at work were saying they have to win three in a row for this to be a success or they would get ridiculed.

    While everyone in the media is bashing LeBron, here comes a rational defense of him from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/10/sports/basketball/10rhoden.html?_r=1&hp

    Here are some quotes:

    GREENWICH, Conn. — If ever there was a time for LeBron James to leave home, this was it. Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert responded to LeBron James’s departure with a personal attack on the team’s Web site.

    The outpouring of venom from the Cavaliers’ owner and the wrath of jersey-burning fans betrays an underlying, festering resentment that makes James’s decision to leave Cleveland for Miami seem prudent.

    The most extraordinary part of the event was the reaction of Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, who responded with a venomous, face-saving personal attack on the team’s Web site that, in its own way, validates James’s decision to leave Cleveland.

    In an amazing abdication of leadership — and a remarkable revelation of a flawed character — Gilbert made James a sympathetic figure.

    Yet it was Gilbert who created the King James monster; it was Gilbert who nurtured and reinforced James’s prima-donna-isms, all of the preening and dancing. Now he acts like a lover scorned and lashes out with gibberish about karma and curses.

    What James did throughout the entire process — forcing a parade of billionaire owners to make presentations and brokering a TV special — was an unprecedented act of muscle-flexing. This was reminiscent of Muhammad Ali, at least in terms of showmanship and the ability to command a global stage. The process was also part Curt Flood, taking the concept of “free” agency to its outer-most limit.

    With more free agency cycles to come, N.B.A. owners cannot be happy about this royal production. Clearly, Gilbert isn’t. He said “this shocking act of disloyalty from our homegrown “chosen one,” sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn.”

    On the contrary. There are myriad lessons contained in the James free agency drama. The first is controlling the game; not allowing the game to control you.

    Here is James, a 25-year-old African-American man with a high school diploma, commanding a global stage.

    No, not yet. They're working on sign and trades with Cleveland and Toronto. The Toronto S&T is nearly done. Wade and Miller will wait until those are finished.

    Bill Simmons on LeBatard now. The guy sounds like the biggest weasel in the history of Boston.

    LeBatard: "They've got three guys who are a good deal better than the big three the Celtics won it with."

    Simmons: "*pause* I don't agree with that."

    LeBatard: "You're on the other side of the country. If you were here I'd punch you in the larynx! Don't you remember that the Celtics got the big three and everyone said the exact same garbage?!"
