Thoughts on Lebron returning to Cleveland

Scrolled thru the OG on the app and didn't see any discussion about it. Seems like its a foregone conclusion that James is going back home to play with Kyrie, Wiggins, Waiters and co. Several high profile sources including Sheridan and Steven A are saying it's done and will be announced by end of day tomorrow. Thoughts? As a NE Ohioan I'm surprised and still will wait to actually see the pressed before I buy back in. But if true, the cavs will be incredibly fun to watch for the next 5 plus years. Phone Post 3.0

I think it's pretty cool actually.

Hopefully the rumors of love to Cleveland are true. Phone Post 3.0

Miami was his college experience.

If he goes to Cleveland, to me it's a really weird decision.

I just don't understand what he gets out of it. The money differential is irrelevant. It's very unlikely the team will be better than the Heat (4 straight Finals). Most of the 'fans' in Cleveland including the owner treated him like shit when he left.

Surely at this point his main focus is legacy, ie championships. Why not stay in Miami, help re-tool the team a little, and keep on juggernauting?

He won't. Phone Post 3.0

I still think there is no way he goes back. Phone Post 3.0

RorysBitch - I dont think he is coming back to Cleveland. His agent told ESPN they were going to announce his decision on his website at 6 PM.

People in Cleveland drove to his HOUSE in Akron and started partying out front at 2PM.

If he was going back to Cleveland they would of announced it tonight, since they didnt I have to guess they waited because he is staying in Miami and they didnt want a bunch of drunk fucks to mess with his house.
I disagree. The delayed announcement suggests to me that he is coming to Cleveland. If he was staying, which is what everyone expected, he wouldn't have drawn that out and it would have been announced last night after the meeting with Riley. Just too many signs and legit media saying its a wrap. Just how I read it but tomorrow should be interesting regardless. I'm not one of these Cleveland fans who has bought back in and will be butt hurt if he stays in south beach. We have a great up and coming team that's going to be much improved. But Lebron puts cavs over the top. Especially if we end up with Love too. Guess we'll see soon Phone Post 3.0

Why would LBJ go back to Cleveland? Miami situation is much better than Cleveland. Phone Post 3.0

If he does and he can bring them a title, then i dont see why it wont be a complete redemption. Phone Post 3.0

At this point if he doesn't go back, It'd be heartbreak all over again. Phone Post 3.0

An old ass Wade and Bosh likely gone is better than having the best PG in the league, a #1 pick superstar in the making, Waiters, and Luol Deng?

Kyrie
Wiggins
Lebron
Thompson
Deng

Then Waiters and Varejao off the bench and maybe Bennett develops?

That team wins the East for sure.

Lebron is all about marketing and branding himself. There is no better story than the return of the prodigal son and doing right by the city.

Cleveland has the potential pieces to contend with and it would be 100% Lebron's team and not a manufactured scenario like the "Big Three" was.

Also, if Lebron doesn't do this now, he may be too old to take Cleveland to the promise land after another contract. Right now he IS the best player in the NBA, not just another NBA superstar.

A return home to win a championship will solidify his legacy as one of the greatest of all time. Jordan will always be the greatest imo. Phone Post 3.0

Allen Hood - I knew I bought up a ton of Lebron jerseys for a reason when he left the first time. Phone Post 3.0

I burnt mine, no joke.

 

 

As a Cleveland guy I don't know how to feel. Yea, we'll be favored to win, but at what cost?  It feels cheap now. He left Cleveland to win championships, left and won some and now returns when our chances are as good as anyone's to win it.  Like a golddigger back he comes now. 

 

 

Your chances currently are equivalent to finding a map with directions to winning a championship scribbled on it. You're still stranded unless a team bus named Lebron turns that corner and picks you guys up and takes you. Phone Post
