1. Does he want money? The answer is clearly yes. Where can he get the most money? Winner Cleveland
2. Does he love his hometown? The answer again is clearly yes. He’s held his MVP ceremonies with his family and friends in Cleveland. He started a marketing business, LRMR, with this high school buddies. He built a mansion in Akron. Need I say more? Winner Cleveland
3. Does he want to win a championship? He clearly does, because that is the last thing he needs to prove. Which NBA team, that has the money for him, has the best chance to win next season? Winner Miami
4. Does he want to play in the world’s biggest stage? Once again, clearly yes. This is evident by the one-hour press conference he is getting just to announce his team. Winner New York
5. Does he want to be the next Jordan? No, he wants to be LeBron James. This is evident by him changing his number next season and asking the league to retire Jordan’s number. Although it was a very cool marketing strategy, Chicago daring LeBron to play for them is not appealing to what James wants. Loser Chicago

Tallying it up, its 2 for Cleveland, 1 for Miami, 1 for New York and -1 for Chicago. But this is not a simple tally for James, remember back to those dreaded Calculus days? This is a weighted score and only James knows what the weights are.

I will say this though, this Free Agency hasn’t been what the King had expected. Teams didn’t wait for him to commit, his NBA pals didn’t wait for him to commit, the only one waiting seems to be Cleveland. The Cavaliers haven’t made a meaningful addition to their roster and they had no draft picks, their future truly rests with James.

Derrick Rose is also one the main reasons that season will be erased. Memphis was accused of violating NCAA rules. One of the alleged rules that was broken was the use of an ineligible player (Derrick Rose). The rumors are that Rose had someone take the SAT for him after he failed the ACT 3 times. To me it doesn’t really make a difference if the season stayed or if they erased it because, well, it happened in the past. The results are done with. And for Rose, that was all he needed. His one season at Memphis was enough to vault him to the number one pick in the NBA draft, which just happened to be the team from the city where he grew up (Chicago). He did not disappoint as he lead the Bulls to the playoffs and an amazing 7 game series with the Celtics (which ended in a loss). He was also named the NBA’s rookie of the year. Not bad, if you ask me.

Since there is no proof, I am going to give Rose the benefit of the doubt and say his SAT was legit. But, when it comes down to it, the kid has talent. He knew it and NBA rules required that he go to college for a year so he went. Barring any injuries (knock on wood), he will be a star in the NBA for years to come. He is one of the best point guards in the NBA already after just one season. What happens after the NBA, who knows but for now he has a bright future. It could be worse, it could have been a violent crime that was committed – but an alleged stand in for the SAT – not the end of the world.
