OKCIrish99 3 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Wow. Great speech about why he's coming back. This helps my OKC Thunder too. Great choice Lebron... http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/cavaliers/2014/07/11/lebron-james-return-cleveland-cavaliers-contract-miami-heat/12444643/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishrb 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Good for him. I think it was a wise decision and it will be interesting to see what he can do with the young talent there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCDomer 68 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This is a good story. A story of redemption for him and Dan Gilbert. Also, now he is surrounded by some young legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKCIrish99 3 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 If they get Kevin Love, they will be very tough. Lebron made a great choice here. He needs a true point guard like Irving. Wiggins and Lebron should be interesting together also. Bosh should go to Houston now. Miami is done now. Book it. The last 4 years have been quite superficial for them, to say the least.

As a Miami Heat fan, and I've been one since 03 (10 years old), I would not call Miami done. Pat Riley knows how to build a team. It might take them a few years, but they will compete again. I wish LeBron the best in Cleveland, but they better get him some shooters. They don't have guys on that roster who can flat out shoot from behind the arc. That could be a problem if not addressed.

Bubba of the Lake 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Cleveland does not carry the cache' of Miami, for sure. I give props to LeBron for "going home". However, from personal experience, I would never move back there. Spent a lifetime one year in Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRizz 5 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 D Wade got suckered into opting out of his guarantee $40mil. No way he's going to get that money now. He can't be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickman54 0 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 How many people on here actually watch NBA anymore? I quit watching awhile back, except for some playoff games. They play absolutely zero defense during the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade needs to remain healthy consistently which has been challenging for him. Who else are they going to get? If Melo goes to Chicago, the Bulls and Cavs may well as play for the East right now.

Morgandonor 30 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Good job LBJ...i can root for him again as Bulls fan it's hard. But he is redeemed himself big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is redeemed himself big time.I read on yahoo that Lebron and Gilbert both apologized to one another very recently. James for "the decision" and Gilbert for "the letter." I'd bet anything Lebron brings a long, long awaited title to Cleveland. I'll go as far to say that Lebron will help Johnny Football clean up his act. Nah won't go that far.

DTCBND03 0 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm a LeBron fan again! Great choice and really happy to see him back in Cleveland. Landing Kevin Love will be huge and I bet they do it given they have the pieces and picks. LeBron, Irving, Wiggins and Love? Great start... Bosh - works out well money wise cause he gets a max deal by staying in Miami. Wade - odd man out. He had to opt out in order for Heat to try and keep LeBron but he gave up money by doing so. We'll see if the Heat pay him max type money over less years but I imagine he'll lose money so the Heat can go after another big name. Melo - Between Knicks and Bulls now...but does he look at Miami??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great start...From what I've gathered, Love won't be going to Cleveland unless Wiggins goes to Minnesota. Love is one of the best players in the league. Wiggins is just a starting point for negotations. Actually bet Love stays in Minny. Everyone wants him but not willing to pony up what Minny wants.
