I really think LeBron wants to take down Gilbert. Make Gilbert the villain in Cleveland and try to force him to sell the team due to public pressure so he will return in 2 years. He was so outspoken about Sterling and as ignorant and pathetic as Sterling's comments were, they weren't personally directed at LeBron. Gilbert's obviously were and whether seen as "racist" or not, they clearly reeked of the sense that Gilbert sees the players (probably both white and black) as property. We know LeBron has a very different view and has very strong opinions about the NBA labor issues and player/owner relations.

If thats your thing Lebron, by all means, go back. But remember, those people loving you in CLeveland are the same ones that called you a coward, when you left. If thats the kind of people he wants to "save", oh well.

but his jersey and shoes topped the market this year in most sales!!!

listen lebron is popular and beloved worldwide but when you hyave so many fans you also have a lot of people who are loud and vocal with their dislike of lebron and social media gives them that platform'

all this crap about him turning into a hero is purely media driven and a narrative that the media pushes

if he goes to cleveland and doesnt win the media will jump off his nuts in an instant and start propping up another star until lebron fades away

its what is generating these big media outlets money atm

dont believe anything


I still think he will be loved more universally if he went back. But lets assume he doesnt care about that. What other reason could it be for going back? To the fans and owner that KILLED him when he left? What other reason? That team is younger, has more potential, but he doesnt trust Pat Riley to build a winner NOW? Pat Riley will improve the team, he has delivered every time .What reason could it be for lebron to go back?

it is true that cleveland is younger and has a bunch of picks to make moves but its been proven before stock piling picks and young talent does not guarantee success. you need a blend of youth and veteran leadership as well as a consistent front office

cleveland hasnt had the latter two since lebron left. numerous coaching changes and veterans that have gotten on their squad quickly left. deng not even considering them should give you a clue?

also take into account that all that POTENTIAL is unproven besides kyrie (who has missed over 10 games due to injury each of his first 3 years)

you dont know what you have in wiggins until he plays and even then will lebron stunt his growth? the best young players are the ones that have a large role immediately just like kyrie did

you take away shots from waiters as well if you bring in ray allen and miller

bennet was god awful

thompson is good but not a player thatll put you over the top

now lets say they do make a trade for Love. youre giving up those draft picks as well as either waiters or wiggins and most likely the wolves will want wiggins in return

are you gonna sit here and honestly tell me that a trio of Lebron/Love/Irving is better than lebron/wade/bosh. if you thought lebron was tired this season hed have to play crazy defense every night with that squad.

Remember guys, we are not out of trouble yet. Just because there seem to be some hopeful signs does NOT change the following:
1.) LBJ's camp has been in his ear for a while about orchestrating this "come back".
2.) LBJ's camp has been in contact with the Cavs.
3.) some sort of meeting happened between the two parties. That much is clear. It probably was a secret meeting.
4.) While LBJ is here asking a handcuffed Riley for more, he is not helping by asking Miller/Allen/Jones on the down low to go to the Cavs with him if he leaves. Why not help recruit for the Heat as well of you were intent on stahing? Why not make Riley's job a bit easier since he knew the given situation?
5.) LBJ is conscious of the backlash this will have in Cleveland, even if most of it is self-inflicted on their part.
6.) Wade already stated that no matter what happens, the three of them will be friends. Wade is not the type of guy to pull a Mo Williams bitchy spurn move.
7.) his family and circle seem to want to go back.

I am not going to get my hopes up. I know that I am sounding pessimistic, but I won't believe he is staying until I see it. Too much has been said these last few days. Could it all be BS? Sure, but we will see. We may still be in the running? But by how much? Just not gonna count all my chickens before they hatch.

Well LeBron thank you for everything but **** you for the way you just treated us and made us fans feel. I wish you the best but I hope do everything in their power to stop you from winning any more rings.
