You're right about playing ARM chair gm. But at the time a lot of those things are unknowns. Not getting both those guys may have worked out better, but who knows.
7 years is a decent stint with a team. You can flip it though and say if Cleveland landed a top FA, maybe Lebron commits long term.
Honest question, did you hate Lebron while he was at Cleveland?

You're right in that we shouldn't have catered to Lebron, that was the mistake. We knew him and how he was. We thought if we didn't cater to him he woul leave. Painful irony huh?

To many people, while in Cleveland, Lebron was made to look like a saint. You didn't hear many fans saying these current things about Lebron. Atleast not on a national level.
So is it better to have had Lebron and now he is gone or never to of had him and maybe be mediocre or maybe an even better team.

I won't give him, Wade, or Bosh a pass because of the whole off season championship party they had and Lebron's "Not one. Not two..." arrogance.

He sucks now, but at the time he was very highly sought after. I'm not re-writing history. Hindsight is always 20/20. If you think Cleveland Signed the best available guys, then ok.

Who else was available when Unrestricted Free Agency began that year? Not Michael Redd. The Cavs sure as hell weren't going to sign nobody, when they were trying to re-sign James.. so they went out and got the best players that were available. There just weren't better players available.

If they bow out I wouldn't be surprised to see bosht, wade or both moved... Look for Riley to check in with LA for Bynum

Lebron wasn't resigned every year. It is what it is. We have a difference of opinion.

With Chris Bosh out does LeBron James get a "pass" if the Heat goes down to the Pacers, or does he get hammered just as much for not winning a title again this year?

He will get a pass but it will bounce off his hands and go out bounds, and then he will get hammered.
