After Cleveland failed to sign either Bosh or Stoudemire, there was no reason for LeBron to stay there, from a basketball perspective. If he stayed in Cleveland, he would have passed up much better chances to win.

How Clevelanders must envy those Floridian basketball fans... having the Orlando Magic and now a juggernaut Miami Heat team. Woe is them.

Still, it was not necessary to do this on national TV. That just rubs salt in their wounds.
