I don't like this move for him

It's not about money, because I assume after taxes, he will be making less money than he could have made in Miami.

He's in one of the premier cities in the US and he's going to leave that for Cleveland?

If it was about winning championships - I just don't see this unproven set of young players taking them into the championship. Possibly in 3-4 years, but Lebron doesn't have that many years left to guide a new set of teammates. The East is still soft, so I could see him take it as far as the finals and end up losing again.

I think the problem with Lebron's career is that he has never had a real coach.

I wonder why Dallas wasn't considered a "serious" option for him (even though I'm biased). We have no state income taxes, a top 5 coach, and the best owner in the NBA. The spurs are still the team to beat and Dallas gave them the most difficulty with a relatively soft roster.
