*waits for people to say he's leaving in 1 year*

[SyRyanYang]

not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4....

[J Shuttlesworth]

This won't stop people from melting down over the fact he signed a 1 year deal. He literally can't leave Cleveland again, unless he wants to have terrible publicity and go back to a "villian" role

[Sarcastic]

He said he's not planning on going anywhere.


He also said he was in Miami for the long haul as well, so...

[J Shuttlesworth]

not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4....
teams?

All I could think about was that Thundercat Mo Williams article :lol

[ctown4eva]

Anyone who thinks he's leaving again is retarded. Even if he wanted to, he couldnt. It'd be legacy suicide.

He's a cav, will retire a cav, his number will be retired, and one day he'll be in the front office/ownership.

[K Xerxes]

1) Leaving Cleveland AGAIN hurts Lebron's legacy significantly
2) Lebron cares about his legacy

Conclusion: Lebron is not leaving Cleveland again

It's really that simple, but watch posters like poido come in here and act like LeBron is opting out next season :roll:

Neither is Kobe. He was dishonest in his marriage vows, said the 2012-13 Lakers were the best team he had ever been on, and promised Laker fans that he would bring them back from an 0-3 deficit against Dallas. :lol

Y'all can't ACTUALLY believe him, can you?

[niko]

He's a moron, he could have erased 95% of any speculation if he didn't have the 1 yr opt out. With that opt out, it's kind of silly to believe he'd never leave, in his mind he couldn't even accept 1 yr without the ability to run off if he wanted.

[JT123]

:oldlol: :oldlol:

At least Lebron never bailed on his country at the age of 25 by claiming "mental exhaustion" :lol :lol :lol

Lebron James: 'I would love to spend the rest of my career in Miami' (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/09/lebron-james-love-to-stay-in-miami)

If the pieces Cleveland put together don't fit (and we've seen it happen a few times Historically where big names were thrown together and it didn't work out) and they get knocked out in the second round or worse, the first, a few times in a row... you better believe he'll try his hardest to team up with KD somewhere in 2016.

or he could collect a bigger check and stay in cleveland.

why would that speculation even bother him?

He's not leaving, he's just letting ownership know that he is in control. Last time he was there they surrounded him with garbage for 7 years, so of course he has to make sure he has some leverage this time around. No longer can they just sit on their asses and get rich off of him, and surround him with scrubs in return for his efforts.

Thats not really saying he was going to stay just that he would enjoy staying in Miami.

You've got to be an idiot if you think Lebron could actually lose in the first round. :facepalm
Lebron isn't Kobe, stars actually enjoy playing with him.

[bluechox2]

yea, im not planning on *mumble* "hope no one got that'"...going anywhere

And he hasn't stopped trying, so what is your point? :wtf:
He never said he wouldn't go away to college for a few years.

[poido123]

Lucky for lebron, he won't ever have to make that choice.

He's set up enough talent around him to see him through til his retirement. :oldlol:

Technically he brought back 2 to Cleveland. So he wins on a technicality.

Didn't you make a thread just yesterday talking about how overrated the Cavs are? :biggums:
Funny how your agenda keeps flip flopping. :sleeping

His loyal followers excuse everything he does :oldlol:

And i suppose you will have a new set of excuses lined up for if he did leave cleveland.

At what point do you guys turn on him?

[niko]

The 2nd yr he can opt out and get big money. Next year they have no bird rights. If he opted out he has to leave. Essentially he couldn't even promise Cleveland 2 yrs, only 1.

[poido123]

Is that suppose to be a bad thing?


I'm making point that he won't be in position to look like a bad guy again...well, unless things go totally wrong which they shouldn't.

[CavaliersFTW]

Brian windhorst sighting immediately after :oldlol:

[poido123]

They are overrated.

Lebrons intentions was to get stars around him and gain an advantage like miami, only that those stars may not be as good or fit what he hoped for...

Agenda is such a laughable word on a basketball fan site :oldlol:

Who could possibly of thought that basketball or player fans have an agenda? Wow! :lol

I don't care if he leaves. I'm a player fan, not a Cavs fan. Lebron is doing something that no star before him has, which is control his own destiny instead of letting owners do that for him. That is the definition of alpha.
Meanwhile betas like Rose are busy putting their futures in the hands of owners and general managers that don't give a shit about them, and sitting out the playoffs due to lack of muscle memory. :lol

[russwest0]

yeah cause LeBron's never broke his word to Cleveland before :lol :lol :lol :lol

[sekachu]

1) Leaving Cleveland AGAIN hurts Lebron's legacy significantly
2) Lebron cares about his legacy

Conclusion: Lebron is not leaving Cleveland again



This is not convincing at all. Why he signed one year deal if he is not leaving cleveland again?

His moves telling me he's gonna leave if the team fail.

Up to now, I feel his words entice cleveland trusty on purpose.

[Asukal]

Let's just wait till he gets his ass kicked in the playoffs and takes his talent elsewhere again. :oldlol: :lol :roll:

Betas will always be beta. :banana:

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Fans should know by now to not take Lebrons word
hes not a real man and has no honor

[DaSeba5]

He sets himself up for negative publicity. Now if they don't make the ECF and they fail to win titles in the future, and he wants to leave, he will be haunted by these words.

[SamuraiSWISH]

At least Lebron never bailed on his country at the age of 25 by claiming "mental exhaustion" :lol :lol :lol

[OncePerMonth]

I believe that LeBron wants to stay on the Cavs... AS LONG AS THEY STAY COMPETITIVE.

[BoutPractice]

I can't even begin to think what things would have looked like if people had scrutinized every word that came out of Jordan, Bird or Wilt's mouth the same way they do with LeBron...

[GimmeThat]

there are probably certain parts of Cleveland that is a part of him for the rest of his career.

as to the other parts of Cleveland.

[OncePerMonth]

I can't even begin to think what things would have looked like if people had scrutinized every word that came out of Jordan, Bird or Wilt's mouth the same way they do with LeBron...

LeBron brought most of the scrutiny upon himself.

[Take Your Lumps]

On Kevin Love trade:

Lebron: "I hope it happens..."

Wiggins: "Why he don't want me man? :( "

[wally_world]

So he won't be playing any road games?

[3ball]

I believe that LeBron wants to stay on the Cavs... AS LONG AS THEY STAY COMPETITIVE.
