    Zero chance of happening unless the Heat fire Spoelstra.

    For the next 2 years, the Heat's cap space is eaten up by huge contracts for the declining Bosh and Wade along with Deng, McRoberts and Chalmers. I don't think LeBron will take the LLE or MLE to return to South Beach.

    Awww, is it too hard winning championships without colluding with two other max players to form a super team? Poor, poor Lebron.

    Work for it and stfu, p***y

    I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.

    ...

    I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I’m going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys.

    ...

    But this is not about the roster or the organization. I feel my calling here goes above basketball. I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I’m from. I want kids in Northeast Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my foundation, to realize that there’s no better place to grow up. Maybe some of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business. That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get.

    People already irrationally hate him. At this point he should stop caring and start ring chasing.

    You can't blame a basketball player in NBA who choose his way depend on the contract amount or any economical reason..

    Cavs need a center right? Give them DMo and the NOP pick

    I'm not a harden fan boy but Harden is 25 and lebron is 30. I think it's reasonable to envision harden will be a rocket star for another decade. I wouldn't do that deal today. Last year I probably would.

    Found this on NBA reddit.

    Listen closely. Sounds like LeBron tells Wade "If this don't work out, we'll reunite and do it bigger and better, aight?"

    In Lebron's defense, he may not have read the letter Lee Jenkins wrote for him.
