What if LeBron changed his demands. Gave up on trying to get so much and settled for what he can get?

You would immediately notice Wade as he is spelled incorrectly in the list again.

Well the Finals is near anyways...

I think they'd release pics now (teasers as you will) sometime in June too.

And oh... Eathb, the one you bolded in Dakkon's pics is not stop on because it is right handed.
