BirdZip Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 Rather than concentrate on what Romeo can BRING to the team, how about what Romeo can KEEP with the team? I believe that LeBron's current contract allows him to seek a new team as an unrestricted free agent following the 2010 season. If Romeo's on the roster, is that less likely to happen? If Romeo's on a different roster, like perhaps LeBron's childhood team the Lakers, would he be more likely to go there? If I'm running an NBA team, I'm spending my last roster spot on Romeo to try to lure LeBron later on. Quote

It doesn't matter if it's his best friend or an overseas player who can't speak a word of English...he wants the best 12 basketball players on the team. And I'm sorry, if Romeo Travis is one of those 12, the Cavaliers are in some trouble. Quote
BirdZip Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 You're welcome to your opinion, but when my brother-in-law made this point to me a while back, I agreed with it. I'll stick with my stance.Yes, LeBron wants to win, but some people value friendships and family too. Besides, the Cavs won't be affected either way by who is sitting at the end of the bench organizing the towels. You can't judge the capability of a team based on who fills their last roster spot.

Bleacher Bum Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 LeBron doesn't wanna win. He wants to be a billionaire. He's gonna go where he has the best chance at that, Romeo or sans Romeo.Rome didn't play against the Suns. The next game is Thursday. Quote
ZipAlumn Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 Rome didn't play against the Suns. The next game is Thursday. For two games now Travis did not play and it was a "coach's decision" whatever that means. Quote
Valpo Zip Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Rome played around 12 mintes today against the Grizzlies. He scored 4 points on a 2-4 FG shooting, grabbed 2 boards and committed 1 TO.Not bad but not impressive either, in my opinion. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 I wonder how it is for him to play without Dru as his primary point guard for the first time since about 8th grade? Quote
Sergeant Zip Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 Halftime and RT has played about 5 1/2 minutes with 2 points and a board. Quote
