i dont think love is that good. his numbers are very inflated being the #1 option on the wolves. maybe lebron thinks different.

That's some serious wishful thinking. Kyrie/LBJ/Love would torch the East. Sucks if it happens but such is life.

I don't think so.

I bet Love will pull a Boozer and leave to LA after 1 yr.

He can't take another PR nightmare hit in screwing over Cleveland again. And this has gone past that point. He'd destroy that city again.

Blame rich Paul or whatever but I think Lebron knew this all along.

The day he say and didn't sign a contract or say a word in 8 days except cheering for soccer spoke volumes.

He doesn't really care about the heat anymore. The whole world will love him for going back to Cleveland. Enough that he won't have the storm of being compared to Jordan anymore etc.

They will praise him for trying to bring the cavs a title.

So he is going to repair his image by totally screwing up the entire Miami Heat organization and his two super-friends?

Quite simply yes.

If you don't think the national media and world would not LOVE the story of going back to Cleveland you're clueless.

This is what everyone wants. Miami be damned.

I do not believe the Cavs is able to put together a better supporting cast than we do. This is especially so given all of our Big 3 have already opt out of their contracts to give us $56m of cap space to split between themselves and our incoming starters.

I mean, yeah, a lot of these rumors, tweets, "sauces" are nonsense, but you can't just deny every single rumor of LeBron going back to Cleveland as a matter of principle and simply laugh it off.
There is something going on behind the scenes and after all the "input" the las few days I actually believe that LeBron will go back to Cleveland...

Can't wait to see UD make a "hard foul" on Bron next season

Here's an argument we all used in 2010: He's a grown man and a free agent, therefore he can do whatever he feels will make he and his family happy. This is a business and whatever decision he makes will be a business one. Simple as that. Far too often we confuse professional sports in this country with federal, state, and local government in that we think employees of these franchises are obligated to explain themselves to us.

They don't. LeBron has nothing he has to say to anyone about whatever decision he makes. If he leaves, he leaves. Who are we to judge a man's media-fabricated "legacy" all because they make a decision that's not to our liking? We're no better than the bitter former players of yesteryear that feel as though LeBron is required by law to follow the same business path that they did. Enough with this nonsense.

The Miami HEAT have a wonderful attraction here. As with any other business, if there is a more favorable environment elsewhere to success, the business will move. The business doesn't owe the people anything. The government does. So if the business moves, it's doing what the business must do to survive and thrive for as long as the business is within its window of production, which for basketball players is less than 20 years.

It's time for us to open our eyes.

Well I don't care enough to breakdown a hypothetical roster anyway 8-)

Woj just confirmed my theory.

Yeah, I know. But that leaves LeBron with the same issues he faced during his tenure in CLE. NO FA WANTS TO GO THERE.

The Battier's, Allen's, Lewis' s of this life taking discounts won't happen there. If LeBron takes that for granted, oh well..

Rich Paul and the rest of the entourage are like walking cancers.

What happens now is all on Pat and who he can get to convince Lebron that the HEAT are a better option. Again this all falls on Pat and odds are he delivers.

I don't agree. Ray has already stated that he'll go wherever LBJ goes. LBJ is a champ now. Free agents will play with him. CLE has a LOT of assets to trade and surround LBJ with talent if need be. Don't e so down if he leaves. He put himself in the best situation to win.
