    In terms of having the pieces to pull it off, they are the closest because of their cap situation and Kyrie.

    If he leaves Miami, I think that would be the destination. I doubt he leaves.

    I both love and hate that Cleveland is doing so much to try and get LeBron back. Why couldn't they make the team better / appease LeBron when he was actually there?

    He should make some crazy demands, though. Ask the Cavs FO to put out a hit on Delonte West. That would be a grand gesture.

    Cleveland Cavaliers are a class organization and a true professional. I hope they retire a Rocket.

    I could see LeBron returning if Kyrie remains.
    He's not going back just for the hell of it... not while he's still prime. Bron is chasing GOAT status. He needs championships.

    the shock factor still ringing high...how can a franchise, who had the best player in the game, see him walk away for nothing...and then see him win two titles, with 3 finals appearances... #WITNESSDENIAL

    Sorry, that ship has sailed. He's never overtaking Jordan.

    If Kyrie would have become all-nba this past season, the chances would be much higher.
