Miami has re-signed Dwayne Wade and signed Chris Bosh earlier this week.

Ending weeks of silence and drama, the two-time MVP said on his ESPN special from Greenwich, Conn. on Thursday night that he's decided to join the Miami Heat and leave the Cleveland Cavaliers after an unsuccessful seven-year quest for the championship he covets. "I can't say it was always in my plans, because I never thought it was possible," James said. "But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today." Olympic teammates in Beijing, James, Bosh and Wade all helped deliver gold medals. This time, it'll be about a gold trophy, the NBA championship one -- the one Wade got in 2006, the one that James and Bosh have yet to touch. Full article.

I mean, there really isn't any loyalty in professional sports, either by the players or the franchise itself. My problem is that he had to do this big special which included his decision. Ego-centric much?

But I am not surprised that he left Cleveland. In the era of free agency, even the team with the best offer doesn't always win. It's clear that he was focused more on winning titles than he was about the money, and certainly Miami gave him a better shot at doing that than Cleveland did (did they even sign any free agents at all?).

Apparently Cavs owner Dan Gilbert is also a major investor of Fathead, and he has lowered the price of the full-size LeBron James Fathead to $17.41 from $99.99. 1741 is the year in which Benedict Arnold was born.
