masters of the obvious.

so that random shaq/shawn marion trade goes down yesterday, and espn.com decides to run an article on their front page making it sound like lebron is about to be making ultimatums in order to get the cavs to make a big trade. but the article pretty much just rehashes the shit LBJ said when jason kidd/kidd's agent stated that he wanted out of new jersey for the umpteenth time, and they even end it with:

If the Cavaliers stand pat and don't make a trade, James is confident the defending Eastern Conference champs are still good enough to win it all.

i see this as yet another example of how many folks, mainly on the east coast, are convinced that lebron doesnt want to be in cleveland and how he should be playing somewhere else.
"did you know nike will pay lebron more if he lives in a big market city?"
"did you know that lebron is friends with jay-z?"
"dude he loves the yankees. hes going to new york."

eat a dick.

so thanks espn, you were really helpful in informing us that an NBA basketball player wouldnt mind it if his team traded for a quality player in order to improve the team. we really needed your help in figuring that one out.
