We all know hes gonna do it again.

 

Exactly, why even bother asking?

Will he wear a headband?

How big?

 

At this rate, I won't be surprised if he plays with a du-rag in 2 years.

 

James Harden is going to run into that whole crowd for 10,000 fouls called on everyone.... 20,000 free throws... Game over.. Go home Cleveland, you're drunk....

 

What if he leaves again.

 

I guess I'm weird. But I didn't really care or dislike the guy for leaving te cavs. Barely cared that he announced it on tv (after hearing the proceeds went to charity was pretty cool)

But I really am not feeling the look at me I was nice enough to go back to crap clevland. Maybe he HAS to do this kind of stuff though who knows.

 

I think everyone on the LeBron money train, LeBron included, is feeling it though. His return game has even been reported on CNN.

******* that's too much for an injury prone big man approaching his mid 30's.

 

Wayy too much.

They could easily attract a better big man next summer.

 

sounds about right for varajao..injuries aside, they're paying him assuming hes healthy for the foreseeable future.

 

That's like paying...Yao assuming he'll stay healthy.

Hasn't started 40+ games since 08-09.
Hasn't played in 70+ games since 09-10.
Only 4 seasons where he played 60+ games.
Only 5 seasons where he played 50+ games.

Going into his 11th season; 32 years old.

I get it, he's a #CavLifer and LerBon's friend (so Tristan will probably get paid too).

Yeah, it's baffling.

If Lebron is playing GM and helping out his buddy, this could be trouble ahead

 

counting the days til waiters is no longer a cav

 

Has there been an NBA franchise as lucky as Cleveland?

Lucky enough to get the 1st pick overall the year LeBron is coming out.

Lose LeBron because they couldn't do anything with him and the 4 following years after receive the next 3/4 top overall picks which is almost statistically impossible

Get LeBron back because he's from Ohio and wants to return home

All this and they still haven't done anything. Baffling

Yes I'm salty

 

This Cavs team is unbelievable.
At least, the starting lineup.

I can't believe how good this starting lineup is.

 

Yeah, even Varejao and Waiters are very good players, especially when they are your 4th and 5th options.
