I really didn’t want to write this post. I really didn’t. I’ve written somewhat extensively (for me anyways) about LeBron and 2010 and I’ve felt I’ve said all I can. I didn’t want to keep writing the same rebuttal every time Chris Sheridan or Adrian Wojnarowski decided to pen another “LeBron to New York” story. I was going to try to ignore 2010 until well, 2010.

But then the Cavs faced the Knicks shortly after New York made some cap clearing trades and ESPN lost their shit. Now, casual sports fans and even casual acquaintances are asking me about LeBron leaving for New York (because, as the big Cavs fan they know, they figure I must have an opinion).

So this is it. This is the last time I’m ever discussing the possibility of LeBron leaving in 2010. After this, I’m done. I’m thrilled that people visit my little blog to discuss various Cavaliers news and rumors. But I’m telling you now, if want to read a Cleveland fan rip some ESPN douchenozzle over his latest LeBron to NY column, this is not the place for you. It would be a shame if we spent the year ignoring this great team because we’re worried about what LeBron might do in two seasons. I’m going to try to touch on just about everything, so this is gonna be long.

The entire sports media has been pushing the narrative that LeBron is leaving. ESPN has been going non-stop (J.A. Adande, Chris Broussard, Truehoop twice, Marc Stein, Bill Simmons, the Stephen A Smith interview and countless Around the Horn, PTI and Sportscenter segments), Jim Rome spent his entire Nov. 18th show on the great Chalupa controversy and Wojnarowski has been a one man wrecking crew, writing five (5!!) “LeBron is leaving” stories in the first ****ing month of the season (Sports Illustrated also discussed it a little bit). I knew we’ve reached critical mass when the AP recap of the Cavs-Knicks game had almost no information about… the Cavs-Knicks game.
