Knowing the article is a fake, I have family in Cleveland. You would not believe these weenies all cheering and praying to get their savior back. Unbelievable. What kind of sports fans are these? They should be wishing the bubonic plague upon him still.

the article isn't fake at all...

Finally, the stupid Big 3 heat will be disbanded. Bosh will go to Houston, LBJ in Cleveland, and no one wants Dwade so he's stuck in Miami.

Hm...
I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can’t wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates.
He didn't mention Wiggins or Bennett. Read anything in to that?

Or Deng, but I think everyone knows he's gone.

I'm no basketball fan either, but I do know that the Cavs' last 4 1st round picks were three 1st overalls and a 4th overall. Seems like you should be able to make a winning team out of that if you add Lebron. Don't even bring up the Oilers, because they have to put 18 skaters on the ice and they don't think defense matters.

One of those 1sts is Anthony Bennett, who had the worst rookie campaign of any 1st overall pick ever. There is real chance he's a total bust.

Another is Andrew Wiggens, who they just drafted and could be elite, but he's only 19 years old, there are rumors that they will try to trade him for Kevin Love.

For all the shit Bosh and Wade got, they are elite players, and LeBron could not have won those championships without them. These Cavs are nowhere near what the Heat were in 2010.

LeBron admitted as much in his essay. This will be a multi-year effort to bring a championship to Cleveland. Without another star, it'll be very difficult. I'm not quite convinced KLove is a top-10 NBAer, but we'll find out after he leaves Minny.

I don't think Love is a top-10 player either, but he is great where he needs to be. With someone like Irving to bring the ball up court and Lebron for pretty much the rest of the offense, Love and simply be a stretch 4. He is a good catch and shoot player, and will bring a large defender out of the paint. That gives Lebron (and Irving) room to drive or shoot.


I get where Lebron is coming from on moving back to Cleveland. All his victories in Miami were "away wins" and did not benefit his home town at all. His family already spent half the year in Cleveland, his mom is there, and everyone who grew up with Lebron at their home court is there. As much as people hate him, if he actually has the patience and fortitude to help Cleveland build a championship team, he has me impressed.

Well it was a good 4 year run. Can't complain about the results and national attention he gave us. Sucks that he's gone but I guess that's business.

Might be a good time to start watching jai alai again as South Florida sports' relevance just took a bit of a nose dive.

Don't be too down. By 2017 you'll have an MLS team!

I said when he left, I thought he might go back. That is truly his home and he doesn't know anything else. Some guys just mean more to the community and their state than just their athletic accomplishments.

Really surprised that Vegas now has the Cavs as the favorite over the Spurs/Thunder to win the championship next year. Considering that the Spurs entire cast are back and they just beat the 'big 3' Heat, including James, I find it an 'emotional' pick not based on logic.
