according to a Bleacher Report, Lebron wants Spo fired.
That's according to a Heat minority owner. If that's coming from an insider, there must be truth to it, aside the saying, when there is a smoke, there is a fire..

"With the Miami Heat, LeBron James—before and after his four seasons when his contract was up with the team—made it clear that he wanted to dump head coach Erik Spoelstra. At one point, [Heat president] Pat Riley called LeBron into his office said that no one will tell him how to run the organization. Riley told James that Spoelstra is his guy and that firing Spoelstra is out of the question. That was the main reason LeBron returned to Cleveland."

Who really cares now, we zapped his best years is all I care for and look at it now. But I doubt he left cause of Spo, it was inevitable that he would return to CLE regardless, that is unless we 3-Peated.

According to Ethan Skolnik this guy isn't really connected. He owns floor seats and a super tiny portion of the team but he's just a rich fan. Not much more.

lmao, this is like that thing where kids tell each other a message then pass it on. by the time message gets to the last guy its completely different.

now we have a story depicting a scene within RIley's office between him and Lebron. if such a thing did happen, who would know what was said besides Riley and lebron? :lol:

if the heat told this guy to stfu its for this reason. him being a part owner gives his statements unnecessary weight and makes it seem like some official statement when in fact he knows nothing.

not even mickey speaks out of turn in this org.

this guys connection to the story has more to do with him being a former israeli basketball player and less to do with the heat.

still...we all know its true

I'm sure Lebron leaving was more because of Wade's decline along with the role players being old and washed up.

Lebron wants Spo fired because Miami are the biggest threat to him making (and losing) another finals.

Yeah this guy is a real piece of work. He owns a bunch of shopping centers around Miami. I have tried to do some business with him and it's about impossible. Would take anything he says with a grain of salt. There are probably posters on this board with more credibility.

This is what happens when you let go of the rope. LeBron wanted his coach fired. So what. Lots of employees want a boss or coworker fired. Guess he was supposed to respect the glorified babysitter and not have his own opinions. This is not newsworthy. If anything I think So I got blast fired because by now clearly LeBron believes coaches don't matter and he doesn't need to be told how to play which is sad because he does need visiting and he needs to learn to follow as much as he leads.

If the PR is not perfect for his return he is not going back. If half of the fans are booing and there are huge fan petitions to sign a longer contract he ain't going back. He ain't about the Spartan warrior life, he is all about his public relations.

Didnt Lebron want Pat to coach the team but Pat didnt want to go through all the stress again? Remember the whole time it was the inmates running the asylum. Wade in no way wanted Pat back, those practices etc

This entire discussion is a non issue. This was posted by Ira. He asks Pat about the rumors:

We've turned the page and so has Lebron James. All that matters now is beating him.

Pat Riley is a classy person. His recent statement about lebron is a testament to it. He can simply ignore the rumors but he didn't.

I hope he also answer about drafting Napier...
