I personally dont have any issues with LJ leaving. He wanted to win a championship and it is likely that wasnt going to happen in Cleveland. Look at all the greats who stuck with their team and never won a ring? You think he should have done that? So people would make fun of him for being the king and never winning a ring? Fuck that. He played he heart out for cleveland, and did all he could to try and bring a championship there... It wasnt happening so when his contract was up he went where he believed was the best place to reach his goal. Aint nothing wrong with that.
I only laughed at him last year cause he was apart of the dream team and they were smoked in the finals. It was funny. But I have no beef with him. He's a good player and hasnt ever dogged it.
he didn't play his heart out for cleveland....even up until game 6 against the celtics you still would see him and his teammates not getting back after made buckets....after that something clicked with him....but he has in my eyes never been a player that left it all out there on the court...until the finals that is

I don't have a problem with the heat winning. I was kinda rooting for the bulls since I knew the hawks were chum bucket. We all know how that turned out. It seems like the heat winning a title was almost inevitable
Ben Gordon's days with the Detroit Pistons are over.
According to a source close to the team, the Pistons traded Gordon and a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2013 to the Charlotte Bobcats for forward Corey Maggette.
Maggette, 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, averaged 15 points a game in 2012.
In three season with the Pistons, Gordon averaged about 12 points a game.
Maggette has an expiring $10.9 million contract next season. Gordon is owed $26.6 million over the next two seasons..
