LBJ will be back with the Heat in about 3 years

Do we know how long the contract is for?

Wiggins to T.DOT in a matter of time

They are all busy celebrating the signing of LeBron by their new team.

I am straight up shocked. I never bought the LeBron-back-to-Cleveland narrative. Wow jaw on the floor.

Boy oh boy, and a nice new arena that will be empty night after night. At least they have a nice beach. :lol:

It still feels like he is taking an easier path.

Yes his heart has always been in Cleveland, but 2 times now he has gone to team with arguably the best talent being assembled.

After reading LeBron's essay I understand what he did. Who wouldn't? But it's clear that he always wanted to win a championship in Cleveland. I can definitely respect that.

Lets remember this all wouldn't be possible without Billy King making the Jack deal to give the Cavs the requisite cap room.

Yet ANOTHER team other than his own that he has helped make into a contender.

Also, if im the Wolves I trade Love for Wiggins, Miami's 2015 pick & filler and I never look back.

A young core of Wiggins, LaVine, Robinson, Muhammed, Dieng & Rubio could be dangerous in a year or two.

Lol @ Lebron saying we all make mistakes when he was talking about Dan Gilbert. Gilbert just took the letter down off hia website a few weeks ago

Ok that SI letter was really good.

Just glad this is done personally. I hope everyone, LeBron, Gilbert, fans of both teams who had extreme reactions one way or the other, have matured since 2010. I really hope all of the Cavs trolls who disappeared don't resurface but that's probably asking for too much.

Good call from him. Wish nothing but best for him.

That's a stretch. CLE's still got a talented, but very flawed roster. There are much, much better teams.

I still have no respect for Lebron.

He left his team for an easier path to the championship on a team with Wade and Bosh in their prime.

Four years later, he makes himself a hometown saviour, but in fact his new team now has Irving and Wiggins, and / or potentially Kevin Love.

Watch D.Rose come back beat your ass LeDouche (and that would be a better comeback story).

I am so glad that he is going back to his hometown team and the cHeat days are over. Watch the cascade of "dedicated" cHeat fans now suddenly discover their love for Cleveland...

Does this change how you feel about LeBron?
