					<description>Looking at the backs of baseball cards is interesting now. I used to remember looking at Ozzie Smith or Cal Ripken and seeing under the team category (St. Louis...........all the way down or Baltimore ........all the way down) Players never thought of leaving. They wanted to be there and fans wanted them there. Being a Brewers fan I hated Paul Molitor when he left for Toronto. He left for money of course. Yes the Milwaukee was partly to blame because they weren't paying much to their stars then but I was still mad. 

It's hard for fans to love and hate players when they change teams so often. I couldn't believe it when the Packers signed Jim McMahon. Jim McMahon of the hated Bears. The same McMahon that Charles Martin slammed down to the turf with a late hit injured McMahon's shoulder. I could never accept him. Thank god all he had to do is a few kneel downs.

Finally, when players are voted in the Hall of Fame it becomes interesting as to which team they are representing. It shouldn't be that way unfortunately.</description>

					<description>I hope LeBron is still with the Cavs 4 years from now. Win a championship for Cleveland. That city is cursed and truly needs something positive.

I would fully expect the Knicks and possibly Lakers to come strong for LeBron in the next few years though. 

I don't believe the Cavs current lineup is good enough to win right now. 
Drew Gooden is overrated. He doesn't show up when needed in the playoffs. Doesn't provide enough scoring. Ilgauskas probably should have been traded two years ago when he had good value. Now he is an aging center with bad knees. Larry Hughes was supposed to be the big compliment to LeBron but he has not been that. He is instead injury prone and not reliable. He doesn't provide enough scoring punch to take the burden off of LeBron. 
The rest is the rest. Not much help. Although Varejao should be starting and they should trade Z for a point guard or shooting guard.

I fear the day LeBron gets burnt out (which he is already saying) and doesn't feel he can win in Cleveland and leaves for brighter lights and bigger cities.</description>
