View full sizeLeBron James goes up for a reverse dunk during a game against Philadelphia.Another day of meetings for LeBron James today as the holiday weekend approaches. With the Heat and Clippers in town - and the Bulls and Cavaliers looming tomorrow - here are what fans are saying in the comments section of cleveland.com's free agency stories:
In response to Pat Riley reportedly meeting with LeBron James' agent last night, andympa53 says:
"Does everyone realize that the Heat only have two players currentlyunder contract? Even if they signed all three (James, Wade, Bosh) you are looking at having liabilities at every other position on the court as they will be forced to sign a bunch of league minimum guys. You need to be at least eight deep for the playoffs. Nine or 10 deep is better to get through the regular season."In response to teams coming out of meetings with LeBron confident they are ahead, texasmike doesn't buy it:
"What else are these teams gonna say? 'We made our presentation to LeBron and he laughed at us and walked out.' Every team is going to say they nailed it and they're going to sign him. LeBron's the only one who knows what he's going to do."And, finally, in response to the Cavaliers' hiring of Byron Scott, tsbuoy understands why the Cavs went with Scott, but isn't the long term prospects:
"Brian Shaw may turn out to be the next truly great coach and might have been the better choice if there was less of a sense of urgency in terms of retaining LeBron. My main concern is that Byron Scott may become the NBA's answer to Billy Martin, who had the knack of making mediocre teams better almost instantly but always wore out his welcome in a few years."
