Lebron made the ultimate sacrifice to fulfill his promise to bring a chip to Cleveland. He realized they could never rebuild into a champion with him there so he left. He took the legacy hit and the hate of his hometown in order to set up this scenario. :bowdown:

i dont think thats the case. lebron knows he made a mistake leaving Cleveland and wants to comeback to correct i, clevland now having talent probably solidified his decision though.

I have no issue if LeBron comes back to Cleveland. RedBlackAttack on the other hand? He said he might possibly stop following the NBA or not be a Cavs fan during the duration of LeBron being back in Cleveland as shown here...

http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287326

...what bothered me about the whole thing 4 years ago was the way he went about it. The national televised thing even before he announced his "Decision" didn't go over well with me and was over the top.

I think the biggest thing I'm curious about if LeBron comes back is what the hell RBA is going to do. He's the most active Cavs fan on this forum. He goes into wall-of-text debates with people over this franchise. And for him to suddenly stop following the Cavs or not care about them or the NBA would be interesting.

In any case, I don't really care much about the reports until everything is agreed upon. Chris Broussard is one of the worse reporters on this type of information. Before LeBron chose the Heat I think Broussard said there was no chance of him going there. See how that worked out?

RBA is a boss for having that approach, IMO.

That clown ditched your franchise on LIVE TV and then to save face tried to act like it was a heartfelt decision and everything but still went down to Miami and partied with his new teammates on LIVE TV the NEXT DAY.

I know that none of OKC's players would do that, but if they did then I'd instantly stop supporting them.

Have Bran and Gilbert actually met each other face to face since Le Decision?

If not I can't even fathom how immensely awkward that would be for them to just meet up now all of a sudden on a recruiting trip.


On the other hand, I can't imagine Gilbert would just fly down and crawl back to Lebron without some kind of indication Lebron was in the advanced stages of seriously considering a return to Cleveland.

when Lebron ditched Cleveland he had championship/rings in mind.

If Cleveland was in the position to give him a max contract as well as having the best team to compete for a championship.

In the exact season Lebron is also a free agent.



it could be possible.


Just be careful when player gets offered that hometown max i.e. Melo/Kobe that makes any other team difficult to compete

If they had acquired talent 6 years ago, he wouldn't have needed to leave in the first place.

Bet he didn't.

Let me be as clear as humanly possible... I absolutely do not want James back in Cleveland under any circumstances. The recent activity on this front has not moved me even slightly. I don't like him... don't want him playing for the Cavs... hope he goes pretty much anywhere else.

If the worst case scenario does happen and he ends up back in town, I'm not sure what I'll do. All I can tell you as that I won't be happy about it. Whether I can still somehow be a fan of the team with him on it? Tough question and, yes, there is a distinct possibility that I may just lose all interest in the NBA.

Maybe my love for the Cavs will prevail and I'll still be able to root for them even with James on the team? I don't know and won't know unless it actually happens and I'm faced with either ditching the team or sucking it up until he retires? :confusedshrug:

All I know for sure is things will be so much easier if he stays the f#ck away. I'm still holding out hope that this is what happens.

The fact that it would never happens speaks to part of the reason I dislike him so much. He's far too vain to sit down and discuss the specifics of how all that went down, let alone making a sincere apology for it. And, the fact that so many Cavs fans are back on their knees, begging him to come back is frankly pathetic beyond words if I'm being honest about it.

It's ashame, because I am so excited for this team and the young talent we've put together. This would be a real downer, not to mention it would also likely mean the trading of several key pieces of our young core to create a more playoff-ready environment. It's just been an awful few days, tbh.

I find it hard to believe that if the team started winning again while he was here, you'd be disgruntled about it for long. Winning cures these things, but to each their own I suppose. Personally for me it's not something to be pissed off about. In the end all it was was a man that chose to rightfully leave the hometown organization that drafted him and go elsewhere. He executed it poorly, but that's all it was in the end.

In any case I think it's a shame you won't answer the question or even try to imagine how you would feel because you're so lost in hating him.

Honestly dude the "baby cavs" without Bran are not that good and wont be any time soon. If you want to see the Cavs win any meaningful playoff games any time soon, Bran is pretty much your only hope.

I don't "hate" him. "Hating" denotes a level of activity that I have not had toward James since 2011. Yeah, for that first year or so after the stunt he pulled, I would actively seek out Heat games just in an effort to root against him. And, watching him flame out in the Finals was fantastic.

But since then? I've just looked at him as the best player in the world who played in Miami. My focus shifted completely to what the Cavs were doing. I honestly didn't care enough about James to "hate" him.

With that said, I still don't like him and can't imagine actually rooting for him again... but, I shouldn't have to. This whole thing is beyond ridiculous.

If this were true you wouldn't be opposed to signing. If you just look at him at the best in the league who plays for another team.. then why wouldn't you want your team to sign him? especially since 1) cleveland sucks at attracting FAs 2) you own several of the Miami Heat's picks.

Obviously things change immensely if he's back in my face and playing for the Cavs again. I've essentially just tuned out Miami for the last few years. Hard to do that if he's coming back to Cleveland.

Not sure why I'm being interrogated. :oldlol:

It's like I'm not allowed to not want James on my team, but if I don't, I'm obsessively hating him. I'd be perfectly happy with James playing out his career in Miami or wherever else he wants to go. It won't have any impact on me whatsoever.

Why do I have to want him back on the Cavaliers, though? Why can't it be that he burned that one particular bridge so crisply, it is not able to be mended? For me, the bridge was completely destroyed and disappeared into the wind several years ago.

So because i think offering Gordon Hayward 15 million is absurd that means I hate the Cavs? Find me one other post of me seriously mocking the cavs..

Edit: also criticized them for firing Mike Brown after one season and other moves that were clearly stupid but never have i rooted against them...You caan find posts of me before 2013 saying the cavs would be better than the Knicks and make the playoffs this season (fail lol)

Also from last year:


Cavs are doing a great job of rebuilding. I wish Toronto would go through a similar process.

[talkingconch]

one of the most pathetic things in nba history if it happens.

can't expect this stuff from a player of his caliber. Team hopping like its nothing.

the worst part? It was the media, fanbase that criticized him on his performances and thats why he left to Miami in the first place to pursue an easier way to win, to lessen the burden on himself.

And now? when miami loses in the FINALS after winning the previous two, he wants to leave again? lol. He feels he needs to get there every year - but not with the same squad. He's the only superstar to pull crap like this in his PRIME. Not even shaq did this.

[Meticode]

When I look back at that reaction thread my reactions are so funny. It's like I'm not even phased by it. All I care about is the next game against Miami. LOL

My first post...

I wish the NBA schedule will come out. I cannot wait for the first game Miami @ Cleveland. I hope they sellout and the crowd is nuts. I can't imagine the things LeBron are going to hear. I wonder if people will throw stuff on the floor? I can't wait to see the signs people make.

Okay. I don't think the Mike Pettine hiring was a good move either. He rode Rex Ryan's coattails to a head coaching gig and now he talks shit about him...overrated coordinator too imo, although I might just be biased against him for being a back stabbing prick.

Hope the Browns have a good season though. I like Johnny Football a lot. Not sure if he'll even play this year though.

But I digress.

Like I said, if this happens, prepare for an onslaught of Diddy & Dirty Money - Coming Home (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ImCpNqbJw) LeBron mixes. :oldlol:

[G-train]

Obviously things change immensely if he's back in my face and playing for the Cavs again. I've essentially just tuned out Miami for the last few years. Hard to do that if he's coming back to Cleveland.

Not sure why I'm being interrogated. :oldlol:

It's like I'm not allowed to not want James on my team, but if I don't, I'm obsessively hating him. I'd be perfectly happy with James playing out his career in Miami or wherever else he wants to go. It won't have any impact on me whatsoever.

Why do I have to want him back on the Cavaliers, though? Why can't it be that he burned that one particular bridge so crisply, it is not able to be mended? For me, the bridge was completely destroyed and disappeared into the wind several years ago.

Having Lebron on Miami was/is actually a heavy burden :/

[Meticode]

Windhorst thinks the meeting LeBron has with Riley in the next couple of days is to tell Riley he his decision is. Not to see what Riley is going to do. In other words LeBron has already made his choice in his mind and is telling Riley he's coming back, or to thank him and tell him he's moving on.

Although it's just speculation obviously. The only facts about everything being reported is that several teams have spoken to LeBron's agent, LeBron wants the max, and he's meeting with Riley in a couple of days.

[Meticode]

Honestly that song fits perfectly with the circumstances..

[Meticode]

If I had a gut feeling I think LeBron is coming back to Cleveland. I say this because when I look at the Heat I see a team that is getting past their prime with Bosh and Wade and they're towards the end of it. They all want their last big contract and with those three big puzzle pieces they together can't carry the team any longer. Bring them all back and filling the holes with a bunch of minimum exceptions or MLEs isn't going to work anymore. No decent players are willing to take paycuts to join them.

Obviously I could be totally wrong. I remember my gut feeling before draft night that the Cavs were going to trade their #1 pick to Orlando. I was so relieved that didn't happen though, I didn't want it too.

[Meticode]

The Decision II: The Silence

[KNOW1EDGE]

I think it would be cool if he went back.

I can understand why some Cavs fans might not want him back. But no matter what he did in the past, he is FROM Cleveland, and he's the best player in the world, seems like a perfect fit.

Roundy quit trolling though

I was going along with him 100% trying to step into his shoes until I came across this:

"This is a sports town... There are no transplants here. The fans are undying in their loyalty and can be just as obsessive when someone does us wrong. The fact that he is going to Miami -- a horrible sports town filled with transplants -- just makes it worse."

Even when wallowing in self pity they have to pull out the bullshit "We're the REAL blue collar america because muh horrible weather, decayed factories and shitty economy! The rest of you guys are just...playing pretend" That just seems pathetic.

If we're going to use the betrayed ex example, then it seems almost like some sort of justification or coping mechanism..."But I'm a nice guy! Why would she leave me for the douchebag city slicker and party out in the sun! He doesn't understand her the way I and I alone do! " Unfortunately the real world is very cruel. People are flawed, and get lost in their own struggles...Others get burned as a result of this.

I'll admit right now that it's absurd to go over his poste from 4 years ago and shit on it, especially given the circumstances at the time, but RBA has always seemed like a reasonable poster and this is the first time I'm reading this. And since it's possible that the tables will turn soon and this forum will blow up into a shitstorm, maybe I can get this message in before the flood:


I've lived in South Florida for virtually all my life and have supported the teams here through the highs and lows. Contrary to what E!SPN might want you to believe, this isn't actually such a strange occurrence! It just bothers me when bash the city and its people because they personally don't like the teams and buy into media narratives. Fun jokes at the teams are ok to a degree- it's an internet message board. But unless you've lived here, you have no right to say that we're all transplants or shit fans. You couldn't possibly know anything about how it truly is to be a fan of the teams in this city. It is the same way I couldn't possibly act as if I actually knew the struggles of Cleveland fans.

I hope that my message didn't come across as an attack or angry ramblings, for that wasn't my intention. I just hope that you realize that there's actually a lot of people in Miami who care about the basketball team that's been playing in the city for 25+ years and counting now. It's not just people who follow only Lebron James. ISH trolls might make it seem different, but those same people would be rocking Cavs avatars if he were to return to play for your team.

its like having a hot girlfriend who you love and give everything to because your not used to ever having a girlfriend of this calibre (lebron in cleveland) so you try your best to make life great spend money and do whatever you can

then your gf on national tv says ummm na screw this i feel like im better than this im going to south beach (ie a hotter better city/boyfriend)

then for four years you watch your ex gf having the time of her life with the new bf while your hitting the gym trying to improve yourself all the while having her successful life crammed down your throat by national media

then your ex says hmm I dunno if I like this guy any more because his not as good as he was the first 4 years..... you in the meantime have hit the gym and become ALOT more appealing and the ex says hmm maybe you weren't so bad overall

WOULD YOU TAKE THAT GIRLFRIEND BACK?

Just for you Im going to Cleveland

[sportjames23]

Bet he didn't.

Let me be as clear as humanly possible... I absolutely do not want James back in Cleveland under any circumstances. The recent activity on this front has not moved me even slightly. I don't like him... don't want him playing for the Cavs... hope he goes pretty much anywhere else.

If the worst case scenario does happen and he ends up back in town, I'm not sure what I'll do. All I can tell you as that I won't be happy about it. Whether I can still somehow be a fan of the team with him on it? Tough question and, yes, there is a distinct possibility that I may just lose all interest in the NBA.

Maybe my love for the Cavs will prevail and I'll still be able to root for them even with James on the team? I don't know and won't know unless it actually happens and I'm faced with either ditching the team or sucking it up until he retires? :confusedshrug:

All I know for sure is things will be so much easier if he stays the f#ck away. I'm still holding out hope that this is what happens.


Hope that clears up any confusion.

The same reasons RBA doesn't want lebron playing g for the Cavs again are some of the reasons I don't want him playing for the Bulls.

Why do we have so many posters on here only concerned about winning?

If all I cared for was championships for the Bulls, I would of bandwagon hopped to other great teams since 98.

I think people on ISH soon forget what the true essence of being a fan is of one team. While winning g championships are great, I do care about the story and going about things the right way. I don't care for success if it means my team takes shortcuts or players on my team don't reflect my beliefs.

If instant gratification is what you Want? Then these bus hopping stars winning championships loading up are right up your alley.

Like redblackattack, I want my team to mean something and for the players to represent a winning attitude or I'd rather nothing at all.

Fck that diva James, he can go join a team that will accept his cheap fan base and attitude.

C'mon RBA. Getting Lebron isn't the worst thing that could happen to the Cavs. :oldlol:

They've angered me plenty of this past season. I was fuming when they traded picks for Hawes. I was also super angry when they fired Brown after one season. Pissed when they fired Grant (who by the way made all of this possible for the Cavs)

But c'est la vie. As you know anger/shock/disappointment comes w/ the territory of being cavs fan.

I was very angry and dumbfounded when Lebron left. I'm over it. He f*cked us up, now he supposedly wants to make amens the best way he could, giving his hometown the rest of his career.


I'll never forget how windhorst RAGED the morning of the decision when the MIA rumors leaked out. Ranting about what a stupid spoiled child Lebron is. Maybe coming home is a sign that he matured and grew up. Lebron's crew is trying to downplay the media hype as much as possible in this, and he appears to be going to meet with Riley in my estimation to tell him to his face like a man he isn't signing.

People change.

[Brickz187]

If Lebron leaves Miami, which I hope he doesn't, I don't see why Cleveland. They still won't be championship ready. If he is going anywhere, he's going somewhere to win a championship. I just believe there's better options for Lebron than Cleveland. Irving, while good, is still not proven to be a winner. Bennet sucks, Waiters is cool, but nothing to write home about. Best thing going for Cleveland is Wiggins, but we don't know how that is going to turn out. Add Lebron to that roster, I don't see "it". That may just be me though. I don't have faith in these young ball players like everyone else. Not a single team with a core of young players have won a championship in the past 6 or 7 years. Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, Warriros, Bulls, Pacers, year in and year out fail to achieve the ultimate goal. Experience is required, and the cavs do not provide that.

yeah man.
the real Cleveland fans have forgiven LEBron long ago and know that i9t was the right move he did.
some are still mad that he did the decision on TV but most have even forgiven that

[D-Rose]

All along I thought the only team he'd leave Miami for is back home. It makes sense on so many levels: positional need, talent on the roster, return narrative,etc. Of course, the biggest and most important hurdle here is Gilbert/LeBron making peace.

Financially, I could easily see them shipping out Jack with a pick for no salary in return and sign LeBron to the max. Yo, they could even bring back Mo Gotti! Trade some of the youngsters + 1st rounders for Kevin Love.

Championship? :confusedshrug:

[Uncle Drew]

Notice how Dan's letter is removed from the Cavs website? It was up until yesterday.

[GimmeThat]

I think Lebron and Dan Gilbert has both learned that it's not that easy winning a championship ring, and even if they were to reunite, they wouldn't blame the other for not winning a championship.

but my question is, if that's the case, why would either of them want to go down with one another?

Just texting with a friend who is directly tied in with Lebron and his camp, and he swears on his life ‪#‎TheReturn‬ to Cleveland is a done deal. Per his sources, calls have already been made to other current Cavaliers to spread the news. If this is true, and like anything on the internet, take that with a grain of salt... are you ready to get out your old jersey and welcome Lebron home?!?

[Jailblazers7]

But seriously, I hope he does return to Cleveland for the purely selfish reason that he would be playing his home games close to Pittsburgh and I could easily go watch Lebron+Kyrie+Wiggins whenever I wanted.

and as far as the Cavs being stacked...far from it. Lebron Irving and Love, maybe but I'd still take Lebron Wade and Bosh in Miami over the Cavs attempted Big3

grasping at straws? lol...right, Lebron just gave us 2 titles in 4 years. what exactly are we flailing at? nice try tho :applause:

as for that team being the East squad, pretty obvious that if Lebron switches team in the east, that team is the favorite for years to come. still taking Lebron Wade and Bosh...proven "talent", even before the 2010 join. what has Irving and Love done in their tenure? :rolleyes:

Let me make it simple:

Wade is DONE... He will retire in 2-3 years.

And Love >>> Bosh.... get it?

And this isn't even adressing the other guys.. which favor Cleveland even more.

Stop dreaming about the past, boy.

RBA is a boss for having that approach, IMO.

That clown ditched your franchise on LIVE TV and then to save face tried to act like it was a heartfelt decision and everything but still went down to Miami and partied with his new teammates on LIVE TV the NEXT DAY.

I know that none of OKC's players would do that, but if they did then I'd instantly stop supporting them.

Really now? You think if KD would play with similar or worse supporting casts for at least 7 straight years he wouldnt eventually start showing frustration? Lets say he is also a free-agent during that time, dont you think he would start weighing his options? But thats clearly not the case for KD/OKC now, he got his supporting cast swiftly, on a silverplate, so you can be happy for now....

As far as those other OKC players goes (maybe even Westbrook) nobody cares, they are nowhere that prominent, they cant imprint that kind of melancholy if they left... there wont be any "Live TV decision" for Reggie Jackson whenever he decides to leave and pick whatever team, actually he aint that prominent to even decide that really, he gets traded / signed and gets happy whatever contract he can have...

:no:

[AlphaWolf24]

Bet he didn't.

Let me be as clear as humanly possible... I absolutely do not want James back in Cleveland under any circumstances. The recent activity on this front has not moved me even slightly. I don't like him... don't want him playing for the Cavs... hope he goes pretty much anywhere else.

If the worst case scenario does happen and he ends up back in town, I'm not sure what I'll do. All I can tell you as that I won't be happy about it. Whether I can still somehow be a fan of the team with him on it? Tough question and, yes, there is a distinct possibility that I may just lose all interest in the NBA.

Maybe my love for the Cavs will prevail and I'll still be able to root for them even with James on the team? I don't know and won't know unless it actually happens and I'm faced with either ditching the team or sucking it up until he retires? :confusedshrug:

All I know for sure is things will be so much easier if he stays the f#ck away. I'm still holding out hope that this is what happens.


Hope that clears up any confusion.

Thank you!...a real fan ladies and Gentlemen.....I told you! Ohio fans are the best.





(Meticode)...what bothered me about the whole thing 4 years ago was the way he went about it. The national televised thing even before he announced his "Decision" didn't go over well with me and was over the top.

Duh!....added to the fact he just quit on the whole franchise/hometown/state....



- The right thing to do is for Lebron to come back home....hopefully if he apologizes and admits he made a mistake.....everyone can find forgiveness.

- RBA .....He made a mistake.....like we all do. He can make up for it if he comes home....find forgiveness in your Heart....


- Like so many Ohioans.....he got tempted by South Beach and needed a taste. He's coming home now a true Buckeye!

Latest rumor. Cavs trade Wiggins Waiters Thompson and Varejao for Kevin Love and create enough cap room to sign LBJ to max contract.

Irving, LBJ, Love?
Good complementary players. Irving for ball control, clutch play. LBJ for passing, inside scoring and defense. Love for rebounding and outside marksmanship.

Thompson is one of LeBron's agents clients and was actually a selling point to him in the pitch...

So, in other words, he's just a phony.

didn't even see Mav on that when I skimmed...i know when they asked him about Lebron earlier, he said Lebron is best suited in Miami

:hammerhead:

[FatComputerNerd]

I know Love is a fantastic offensive player, but I really don't want him TBH.

Call me crazy but I'd rather have a PF who plays D than one who just fills up a box-score with empty stats.

I say keep our young core together, develop Bennett and Zeller, and keep Andy V for the defensive presence we need down low.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I think Love would be a great fit with Wiggins/LBJ...Not only can he spread the floor on offense but he's a terrific outlet passer..I could see him getting LBJ/Wiggins 2-3 easy buckets in transition a night.

[Goldrush25]

He realized they could never rebuild into a champion with him there so he left. He took the legacy hit and the hate of his hometown in order to set up this scenario. :bowdown:

Do the Wolves do Waiters, Thompson, the Heat pick, and the Cavs first rounder next year?

Ugh...Thompson expires after next year, Waiters expires the year after.

I think it would take Wiggins honestly. And I think that is the best for both teams actually.

Maybe the Wolves do that first trade if they can get the Cavs to take back Kevin Martin's contract as well. Maybe that actually works now that I think about it;

Waiters, Thompson, Andy V.'s expiring contract, the Heat pick, and the Cavs first rounder next year for Love, Dieng, and Martin.

[Uncle Drew]

Ah, Vegas just moved our odds to win the championship to 16-1.

LBJ going back to Cleveland?

Cavs be like the guy who is a regular Joe with a hot smoking wife. Wife wanted bigger and better things and left his sorry ass for a filthy rich old man, living in a mansion by the beach hobnobbing with the rich and famous. Rich old dude even flew 2 of her hottest bestest friends to live with her all year round. She promised him not 4 not 5, not 6, but 7 kids, but ended up only with 2 brats.

Anyways back to Cavs guy. He was devastated. Called the biatch out. Told everybody she was the "whore of Akron". Cavs was hurt and angry. Fixed himself up. Got himself a bunch of girlfriends. 3 of them from excotic Canada. Things looking up.

Ex-wife finds out Cavs going to bigger and better things comes crawling her ass back.

What do you think about this.

Waiters, Thompson, 2 first round picks, and Andy V.'s expiring contract for Love, Dieng, and Martin.

That is a nice haul for the Wolves and they shed the Martin contract. Cavs get to keep Wiggins...and add a young prospect at center that they badly need. Also kind of like the Martin fit as his shooting/scoring would be nice. And Martin's contract isn't terrible or anything...especially for a team looking to win the title. The Wolves just need to move it if they add Waiters because they already have Brewer and Buddinger and that all makes no sense with Martin.

Wolves would actually look great in my opinion.

Rubio/Barea
Watiers/Brewer
Buddinger/Luc
Thompson/Turiaf
Pek/Andy

That is a pretty nice roster actually. With 2 first round picks as well coming in. Saunders could make that a pretty fun team to watch. Definitely a better deal for the Wolves than the Warriors offer. And they can flip Andy's contract into another asset actually if they want.

And holy shit the Cavs;

Irving/
Wiggins/Martin
Lebron/Bennet
Love
Dieng/Zeller

Then fill out the roster with vet's....sick.

So give away all of our hustle guys away ? Asking for a lot when the Wolves are the ones about to lose him.

[r15mohd]

Lebron going to CLE isn't going to improve his stature much over the Miami Heat scenario with Wade/Bosh taking cuts.

to get that 3rd piece in Love, you give away some of the young talent and puts you back at the Miami Heat scenario. which team will draw in the vets to assist/fill the bench is what it'll come down to. better attraction is, and always was, Miami

[DMAVS41]

So give away all of our hustle guys away ? Asking for a lot when the Wolves are the ones about to lose him.

It's about making the money work.

Also, Dieng has a ton of potential. Have you seen him play? He plays center and he's on a great contract through 2017.

Martin is just as good as Waiters is right now as well.

You get to keep Wiggins. Get a guy roughly equal to Waiters (Waiters had issues with the team as well). Lost Thompson but replace him with a far better player in Love.

The only thing that hurts you basketball wise is the picks, but obviously those are just not important if you get Love because you are competing for titles and the Cavs would still have a first round pick this year as they have potentially 3 at this point.

[DMAVS41]

Yea...all the personal stuff clouds this.

I don't think the Cavs can make a move for Love without Andy's expiring contract though.

I just don't see Lebron thwarting that or something if he actually does leave Miami as he would be leaving any even better friend behind in Wade.

I haven't noticed Summer League that much. In Tim Duncan's first Summer League game he let Greg Ostertag score 21 points on him. We saw how that turned out for Duncan. I think Noel will be a good player and center, but dwelling on it does what? Nothing.

In any case, Bennett looks to be in shape regarding his weight at least. He reported he's lost about 20 pounds and when he goes to charity events you can tell he's lost weight.

What are you talking about?

Love is 25 years old. Dieng is 24 years old.

Martin is the only older guy...and he's only 31..and he expires in 3 years...and his contract is not bad actually given that the tax line and cap are going to go way up over the next 3 years as well. His shooting would be huge next to Lebron. Not like he's ancient or something. And you wouldn't be playing him huge minutes. He'd be a backup guard.

You keep Wiggins and Bennet.

Trust me....Love is easily worth all that.

That is not an old team at all;

Irving
Wiggins/Martin
Lebron/Bennett
Love
Zeller/Dieng

And you'd still retain at least 1 first round pick this year. That is not an old team at all...It wouldn't be like the Heat at all...LOL. Those Cavs would have back to back first round picks in Wiggins and Bennett on the roster...

I think that this is a 65+ regular season team

the biggest criticism there has been about Lebron James has been him turning players into "spot up shooters" And I think the truth to that is, there are generally spots on the floor where he is most accustomed to, or used to passing to. Especially in terms of the 3 (which since these aren't nessecarily coaches designed plays, I wouldn't be surprised if a good amount of them isn't the corner 3 - coaches favorite - but the 45 degree 3)

I think when you look at Kyrie and Chris Paul, I don't know if they are nessecarily spot up 3 pt shooters as to pull up 3 pt shooters (a theme more amongst PG than SG) The only shooter in which they added to the team that took no time to adjust to this playing style was Ray Allen. I think Miller figured it out later on in his stint. While I don't know if the long 3 nessecarily suited Battier's playing style as well as the corner 3.

Love's # would take a huge dive under this system and probably average out 5-7 3s a game averaging right around or less than 20 points.

Love becomes the Perkins with basketball skills of a forward, instead of the Ryan Anderson who crashes in on the board because he's just got so much energy running around the floor.

[Nash]

Irving
Wiggins
Lebron
Love
Varejao

I don't think they can make the Love trade without Andy's expiring contract. I might be wrong though.

In my opinion, the Cavs should make the Wolves include Dieng in any offer. He's a great fit and he's cheap for a few years. Zeller/Dieng is actually pretty solid at center moving forward.

[Nash]

Waiters, Thompson, Andy's expiring contract, 2 first round picks for Love, Martin, Dieng.

I forgot about the Haywood contract. I guess they could use that instead of the Andy contract to make the money work and retain Andy this year. Actually...iirc...they couldn't do that until next summer.

To me that seems like a great trade for both teams.

I know there are personal issues here and agent issues, but damn, the Wolves really make out there actually. 2 first round picks and Waiters an Thompson...and then an expiring contract in Andy that they could move to get better as well.

And that just puts the Cavs as the clear favorites (assuming Lebron doesn't get hurt or decline much) in the East for the next 4 to 5 years. And they have back to back number 1 picks on the roster moving forward as well. You can't get a better situation than that in my opinion.

LeBron isn't leaving Miami.

I mean, it's possible he leaves, but I'm 99% he stays.

:lol what a flashback

But just look at this mess

"Minny mayyyyybe do Love for CAVS 2 picks, TT and Waiters?"

His stock back then :facepalm

:roll: :roll:

Biggest let-down ever

Two years

Demoted to Finals BENCH player

Behind a 37yo

Richard Jefferson

:wtf:

[Hey Yo]

Bet he didn't.

Let me be as clear as humanly possible... I absolutely do not want James back in Cleveland under any circumstances. The recent activity on this front has not moved me even slightly. I don't like him... don't want him playing for the Cavs... hope he goes pretty much anywhere else.

If the worst case scenario does happen and he ends up back in town, I'm not sure what I'll do. All I can tell you as that I won't be happy about it. Whether I can still somehow be a fan of the team with him on it? Tough question and, yes, there is a distinct possibility that I may just lose all interest in the NBA.

Maybe my love for the Cavs will prevail and I'll still be able to root for them even with James on the team? I don't know and won't know unless it actually happens and I'm faced with either ditching the team or sucking it up until he retires? :confusedshrug:

All I know for sure is things will be so much easier if he stays the f#ck away. I'm still holding out hope that this is what happens.


Hope that clears up any confusion.

:wtf:It's really just that Tristan Thompson is way better. And Lebron plays nice power forward. But give Jefferson credit. Playing like a wise old veteran.

Wonder who Minny what pieces Minny would want from the Cavs?

Thompson definitely?(even though shares Lebron's agent)
Waiters?
And Varejao?(Lebron's friend)
Haywood? (With that unique contract)
A few picks?
:rockon:

Now he's hoping like hell that fraudulent coward will give him a fake title.

LeBron just wanted to go home. Miami was like his college. 4 years and return home with the education to succeed.
