ESPN escalated it

2 years ago someone asked if he would return to Cleveland and he said a politically correct answer

"I don't know what my future holds, it might happen"

Don't get your hopes up guys. As much as I want to explode on the inside, it has to be contained. Be prepared for anything.

the clock starts when Houston is delivered the offer sheet. Woj & someone else who I can't remember both tweeted that Houston had received it yesterday. The tweets were both around 3pm, so probably ~51 hours left?

Get ready for athletes to go and tell LBJ something along the lines of Deion's statement.

Believe it or not. I've actually seen more athletes say they want him to go back to Cleveland. Strange.

Prior to today?

Saw Chris Carter and Benjamin Watson on TV say they still want him to go back there. Want him to have a man to man convo with Gilbert and then go back.

Putting our Heat fandom aside, who here would even consider going back to a boss who wrote that letter, took out a full page ad for it and left it on his website for 4 years for the same money you are being offered to stay in your current job (where you have been quite successful)?

Lol now people saying Riley brought up the letter in their meeting

Wade brought up the letter

Riley planted this letter thing in the media

The speculation is funny

Carter is an Ohio guy and Watson played with the Browns for several years.

LeBron and Melo would be a solid dynamic duo, but we'd be so small that it wouldn't really matter. Roy Hibbert would turn into Wilt Olajuwon or something crazy like that.

Chris Carter also advised Michael Irvin's wife to leave him, back in the day... I'm just saying.

Man no one in the media knows ****

I know they was the case before

But the thing with Wade came out of left field and so this later and people who were so set on the Cavs don't even know what to think

C'mon Lebron, these people went to your house yesterday and you weren't even there. You want your pregnant wife around that?

The money is exactly the same. Except you have to pay state income tax in Ohio, so you take home less.
