Lebron leaves. the Cavs get three #1 overall picks in four years. now Lebron comes back.


wtf man


Cavs have probably just usurped OKC as the prototype for "why tanking works."

Not only do they have Irving, the cap space to sign Lebron to max, but they'll also have a #1 pick as an asset to trade for Love.


2 of our #1 picks (Kyrie & Wiggins) were 1-2% chance to win odds. We are incredibly lucky. Tanking doesn't always work, but stock piling on draft picks, talent and flexible contracts does.

Good for Cavs... So are they the favorites of the East or is it still the Pacers?

If we have a prodigal son's night in Ohio maybe Carlos Boozer's sins will also be forgiven and he's coming back to Cleveland?

This is great news for the NBA.

Massive respect to Lebron, for Leversing the decision.

Gilbert seems full of **** to me with his apology-- "Oh yeah the letter hurt me more than anyone Lebron"...that's why he chose to keep it up for four years?

As a warriors fan, I wasn't too happy at first because that would mean love would follow.

Reading his letter, I then saw how important him returning to Cleveland really was. It's a heartwarming move and a great story. I've always been a LeBron fan, and I'm definitely still rooting for him to bring success to that team.

Luckily for Cleveland, this wasn't about him.

I will be the first one to say it, I never thought that the Cavs were considered a possibility. I was wrong... lets see what else goes on this offseason.

Looks to me like Lebron has decided not to compete against the spurs,
And will wait them out a year or two so Timmy and Gino will be done. Also the cavs. Youngsters will be better.
Hahaha
Rather than facing them with the same heat team next year.
He has less pressure in Cleveland, helps his legacy.
It would be damaged if he lost again in the finals with that heat team.

i feel like this has real merit to it if Riles can't get Spo some more talent.

What are the contract deals? It's not a like 4 year deal with a player option after 2 or some crap is it? Can't do another one of these offseasons for a while lol.
