Do you think the Cavs will ever retire Lebron's jersey? Seems like a crazy question, but with the bitterness, I wonder.

Nope.

Only if its constantly on fire while hanging from the rafters.

Nope. Which is sad, if he had handled his departure with class it would be a different story.

I expect Dan Gilbert to give #23 to the next guy that they sign.

Only if the banner is for cowardice.

50-50. When Lebron's career is all said and done, will he be known as a Heat or a Cavs.
Probably as a Heat. He would have played less than half his career in Clevleand when he retires.

Usually the retired jersey's are those that either won championships, or they were with their organization for a long long time. That's why you might not see a shaq jersey retired in Staples.

They will hang that burned Lebron jersey that everyone has in their avatars.

After reading Dan Gilbert's letter I highly doubt it.

Lebron probably took advice from Shaq.

"dude, play the hot hand man, go to Miami for now. Chase those rings homie!"

It sounds ridiculous now, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. There was dialogue in Orlando about retiring Shaq's, and Shaq is still in the league.
