Real talk.

Leaving Cleveland is one thing. Cleveland is not a franchise that can ever be a real contender. Any sane person would leave.

Miami though is a contender. 4 straight finals and 2 back to back titles. That's not something you leave.

It's not gonna happen. He ain't going. Dude will retire a Heat.

I disagree. This team has become just like those Cleveland teams, and Wade is only gonna continue to decline and play in fewer and fewer games. You can't seriously tell me you think Bosh is a good enough player to be the second option on a Championship team. :oldlol:
I will say this however. If Riley does make some moves to put a better roster around Lebron, and Lebron still left, then THAT would be a bitch move. But if Miami keeps this exact same roster intact then Lebron has every right to leave and go to a team in which he doesn't have to do EVERYTHING every night.

Cavs made the Finals and lost to the Spurs....3 years later and after back 2 back 60+ win season with HCA throughout the playoffs Lebron quit and left Cleveland...

Heat made the Finals and Lost to the Spurs....they aint goin to anymore Finals.

Lebron just getting ahead start...why should he wait another 2 - 3 years and lose in Miami?

jump ship again ( like he did on the 66 win Cavs) and find a better team.:confusedshrug:

"Do I have to remind you I've done this before" ... from that post decision Nike commercial.

Bounced on his local public HS in favor of greener pastures elsewhere, taking the path of least resistance.

Did it in the NBA, after failing to prevail in two seasons with Cleveland. Went to South Beach for greener pastures. Stacked roster, beautiful weather.

It's hilarious seeing LeBron stans like OP squirming getting ready to be upset about the nature of a man they defended for 4 years, and his cowardly decision. When it's proven he's a coward.

Riley just basically said this without directly saying it.

Everyone knows. Once a cheater, always a cheater. LeBron takes the easiest route for LeBron.

Our goal is very simple: To show LeBron that some attitudes in Northeast Ohio have changed. Many of us who felt betrayed and scorned are turning and we are open to having him come back. It’s not an expectation that he comes back…it’s to show that the masses don’t all feel the hatred that was portrayed before.

Is it everyone? Absolutely not. We respect that a lot of people still have tough feelings about the whole Decision and its aftermath. Some never stopped being a fan of LeBron and others have let time heal their wounds. We want to win and we know that LeBron probably does want to win for Cleveland.

We have big goals for the rest of the year but we need a SPONSOR to come in and help us. Visit our SPONSOR page to learn more.


These are based on many facts and many assumptions. We are not saying we are 100% correct, but we do believe that the chances of him coming back aren’t quite the “no chance” that many people believe.

First: The economics of the NBA have changed with the new collective bargaining agreement that was created after LeBron went to Miami. In it, salary cap offenders of multiple years have escalating taxes, so it makes it more and more costly for the core “Big 3” to stay together. Some estimates are north of $75MM in just luxury taxes. Would the owners of the Heat pay this? Sure, they could. But with that money, they could get other top tier talent as well. If they chose not to pay it, and the Big 3 had to split, why would LeBron stay? He may, but his reason for going to Miami was to be around a team that could win day 1. If the Big 3 split, it would require rebuilding and we don’t think that’s a likely stage for LeBron in his prime years.

Second: The Cavs are definitely not a winning franchise as of this writing but we have great young players. The average age of championship teams is 25-27 years of age and our average age is below that. We have a superstar in Kyrie Irving, a player that GMs across the league voted as the one player teams would want to build a franchise around. Dion Waiters is looking better every year and Tristan Thompson has worked the offseason like crazy and is looking great. LeBron coming in would bring the winning steps back and these players could provide a great support team.

Third: Even though he left us, he has said he wanted to win for Cleveland in the past. We do NOT think he is a vindictive person. We believe he wants to win one, or many, for Cleveland.

Shit happens. If Bron really believed the bullshit he was spewing about the Heat winning 8 championships and it being 'easy' then he's an even bigger mental midget than we expected.

Like Riles said, you can't run out the first exit you see just because you run into some adversity. Like the OP pointed out, MIA has gone to 4 straight finals, winning 2 of them. But now he's going to abandon the team because they lost to a better squad? How many of the 'help' jumped ship after Bron shit the bed in 2011?

my dude....

the Orlando Sentinel had a poll and the majority voted that Shaq was not worth his 115 million...Shaq even said it hurt his feelings and that is why he decided to sign with L.A.

The Lakers decided to Keep Kobe...because he was the more important player/better player

The Pat Riley and the Heat voted to get rid of Shaq because of his poor attitude...

PHX Shaq threw the GM under the Bus and got booted

Cleveland he threw the ownership under the bus.

Oh I agree about everything after the Lakers, but he wasn't booted from either Orlando or LA.

He burned bridges everywhere after though, agree 100%. I'm a big Shaq guy, but shit like "I got hurt on company time so I'll heal on company time", and showing up at camp 50+ pounds overweight pissed me off a ton for sure.

Could the Spurs win titles before they won a title? The Cleveland excuse is lame. Leaving without winning a ring as promised was a bitch move.

Leaving again will be the biggest bitch move of his life.

It's a tough spot to be in. OP makes a good point that you don't leave 4 straight finals runs, but everything is contingent on Wade/Bosh's contract. If they opt in, this team can't really be a contender. If Wade was willing to take a paycut (which I doubt), then I think it would be a real bitch move for LeBron to leave. LeBron only has a few years left of his prime and obviously wants rings more than anything. The Heat can't get that much better with Wade eating that cap space, and it's basically a guaranteed no ring if he does. I get that you don't leave a team after making the finals 4x, but with Wade in his current health, it changes the situation completely.

And they got spanked in the finals. Don't act like you weren't one of those idiots saying they'd get knocked out by Dallas or Memphis if they were in the West.

Plus Wade's health will only get worse with age, and their role players are all old. Obviously Miami can rebuild their role players, but how are you going to beat the Spurs in the finals if your second option can only play 50 games a season, and can't finish an entire playoffs?

Hard to say. When everyone ranks you based on your ring count, and not how you actually play, I actually can't blame him for wanting to go to the place best suited for him to get rings. If he played for a shitty team and averaged 40/10/10, people still wouldn't consider him the GOAT because he doesn't have the rings... That's just the reality. If rings are your top priority, do you really think Miami w/ Wade getting paid so much is his best option? It really all depends on what Riley is able to pull the next couple of weeks. The ideal situation would be Wade/Bosh accepting their true value, and taking a pay cut to clear cap space. If this doesn't happen, I would understand him leaving. If he was younger, leaving would be inexcusable but he only has a few years of his prime left.

Honestly, I have faith in Riley though. I think he will do what it takes to keep LeBron

Samething could of been said about Kobe after Shaq left. He was in his prime but had to sit thru his prime playing with garbage til he got gasol, mwp and bynum. Yet Lebron has is given a free pass to leave cause his team won't take paycuts? Double standards no?

If rings are your top priority, do you really think Miami w/ Wade getting paid so much is his best option? It really all depends on what Riley is able to pull the next couple of weeks. The ideal situation would be Wade/Bosh accepting their true value, and taking a pay cut to clear cap space. If this doesn't happen, I would understand him leaving. If he was younger, leaving would be inexcusable but he only has a few years of his prime left.

Honestly, I have faith in Riley though. I think he will do what it takes to keep LeBron
I'm starting to have my doubts about Riley having anything up his sleeve. He went to the media and basically tried to guilt Lebron into staying, which is pretty desperate. I don't think he would be desperate if he had a solid plan in place to improve the roster.

Samething could of been said about Kobe after Shaq left. He was in his prime but had to sit thru his prime playing with garbage til he got gasol, mwp and bynum. Yet Lebron has is given a free pass to leave cause his team won't take paycuts? Double standards no?
So now you are gonna try to act like Kobe stuck around out of loyalty? :roll: Kobe stayed because management said NO to his trade request! If Kobe had been a free agent in 2007 he would have signed with a different team, that is a fact.

Kobe was in a different situation. He was like 23-24 with 3 rings.... He had plenty of his prime left. I already said that if LeBron was younger, it would be a bitch move but his prime is running out

CavsFTW has actually been salty as **** over LeBron leaving. Dude's made so many hate threads. Would love to see him go from hating to sucking Bron's dick in a split second :lol

Anyways, though unlikely, what would your reaction be if Bron were to join the Bulls instead of Melo? I know you hate Bron... would you have trouble watching the Bulls that season?


It won't happen, but if it did I'd find it very hard to follow the team while he's on it. I know a lot of Bulls fans that couldn't stomach him on the team now.

It might be the only thing that silences me as a fan of the Bulls and I might decide to go into a long hiatus. :oldlol:

the thing that sucks is that Noah/LeBron would be the best pick and roll in the league by far... We saw it for a few stretches in the ASG... shit was deadly. Those dudes hate each others guts though... doubt they would ever play w/ each other.

Though I always thought Thibs would be great for LeBron, especially w/ the way he handles himself. Maybe not Popovich great, but still great. I thought Bulls would be a good option for LeBron when he was an FA in 2010, but looking at what happened to Rose, he's probably glad he didn't end up going there.

Even if he won you guys a chip? I have a very hard time believing you would stay away if he brought immediate success. :lol
You are right, he would never go to Chicago, but it's always fun to speculate.

I don't like his mannerisms, what he stands for etc etc.

Yeah, Noah wouldn't like Lebron's clown attitude at times.

I rest peacefully in knowing that no matter how attractive or how good of a fit Lebron would be in Chicago, he will never go there...

Lebron hasn't acted like a clown since 2011. he's been much more mature, doesn't dance and shit on the sidelines anymore

Real talk.

Leaving Cleveland is one thing. Cleveland is not a franchise that can ever be a real contender. Any sane person would leave.

Miami though is a contender. 4 straight finals and 2 back to back titles. That's not something you leave.

It's not gonna happen. He ain't going. Dude will retire a Heat.

He'll be flying in to Oklahoma City and then will stop by LA Clippers for new contract meetings.

erm.. no, the Lakers decided to keep Kobe because he was the younger player and Shaq was already on the decline, and it was the right move because 04-05 was his last good season really.


Like I said...Kobe was the better player and the more important player to the Franchise.

History proved itself....and echoed my points. As Kobe played at a better rate and still Dominated without Shaq/went to 3 straight Finals...

with Gasol and Bynum....( 2 players who were a fraction of the talent that Shaq was)


Shaq never even sniffed the similar success as he did when he played with Kobe.

even Tex Winter saw the hierarchy and how it should play out..


In a video session during the NBA Finals, Lakers assistant coach Tex Winter criticized O'Neal's defense against the screen roll. Winter said when O'Neal's career was over, he'd expose O'Neal as "overrated."

When Jackson defended O'Neal, Winter criticized O'Neal's footwork, his free-throw shooting and said his field goals were "all dunks." When the players joined the video session, Winter and O'Neal had a confrontation.

We'd get over it.

Wouldn't he rather do a sign and trade even if he does want to go elsewhere, since that way he maximizes on his potential earnings? Either way, it clears capspace, and we get something for him, like future draft picks, etc.
