LeBron got his titles now said it's time to go back home, pretty simple. Cleveland with LeBron and the youthful talent is going to be scary within the next season or two. What sucks is that I think this signing might push Carmelo to sign with Knicks or Bulls due to very strong western conference.

the reason why, circumstance and how he announced he was to Miami is completely different than the reason why the circumstance and how he announced that he is going back to Cleveland.

He is going back to cleveland to because it's his home not to take the easy road to a championship.

The Cavs already have great pieces and Kevin Love is not in cahoots with Lebron to bring not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, championships to Cleveland, unlike the prearranged conspiracy between Wade, Lebron and Bosh.

There was no "the decision 2.0" in prime time on ESPN announcing he just shat on South Beach.

the only similarity is that the Cavs have a nice team, but it will take them a couple of years to get a chip just like it did in Miami.

How is Lebron going to the Cavs different from when he went to Miami? He's producing a super team in Cleveland....LBJ, Love, Irving, with a lot of nice pieces around him. I dont think James goes back home if pieces weren't in place. Lets not pretend he would be "going home" if they had garbage pieces.

are you seriously asking?


I am... I don't see it as a lot different once you look past the thin (manufactured?) feel-good veneer...

Can anyone honestly say that if Gilbert hadn't gotten insanely lucky with the Lottery Balls for the last several years, LeBron would have seriously considered this home-coming?
Actually, don't bother... You will never convince me that's the case.

so are we to believe that Stern, Gilbert and Lebron conspire to get the Cavs the number one pick two years in a row?

Lebron James wrote:The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, “OK, I don’t want to deal with these people ever again.” But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I’ve met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We’ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I’ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?
