    I doubt it but what do I know?

    Want the coach gone, just fire the coach!

    Sounds like something that Chris Broussard would post. Throwing darts at the board.

    It's December 30. Lebron knew and acknowledged that the team would be a work in progress. If he doesn't give them until at least the end of next season he is a fool.

    Can you blame him?

    They gave him a rookie coach. They have made no in season moves. Love has not signed an extension. Waiters is still there, chucking away and not defending.

    Let me ask you this.

    What if the Cavs make no moves to get better?

    What if Love walks away?

    At some point you have to look at the organization and say it is on them, not LBJ.

    he will still be top 10 goat only with 2 rings, he must be aware of the possibility of this stagnation

    but his reputation cant take another hit for playing a different team, unless he wins multiple rings with the new team of course

    Maybe LeBron will try to get his former coach Mike Brown.

    He can't do it. I've supported LeBron his whole career, but if he were to leave Cleveland for a second time, I'd lose all respect for him as a man. I'd never root for him again. It would justify every negative thing anybody has ever said about him and cement his status as a weak minded frontrunner. Stay the course LeBron...stay the course and make it work.

    Not to mention, his little sentimental "coming home" to Cleveland propaganda that went on that was shoved down our throats would all be invalidated effective immediately.

    really all of this. If you are the GOAT you can will anyplace to the promised land. If LBJ leaves Cleveland a second time his mental makeup will forever be questioned. They have interesting pieces. They need to sign a big like Asik in the offseason and possibly ship out waiters if he can't buy into the team game.

    He chose the Cavs after Blatt was already hired. Love can't sign an extension until next summer. You can blame the team for not firing a coach and making trades after only 30 games.

    I speculated very early who would be gone first: Blatt or Waiters. But after announcing his choice, LeBron expressed love for the city and patience with the organization. If he leaves next summer, the fallout will be much worse than 2010.

    I looked forward to supporting LeBron in Cleveland again. Now this is turning into a "get out your popcorn" drama where I want the most dramatic thing to happen. The entertainment value is off the charts.

    Lol...if Lebron leaves Cleveland...lollll (his overall legacy will forever be tarnished, and will rightfully deserve to be hated...)

    BUT if he joined Houston...OMG...this city would go bonkers...

    Translation:

    Get Calipari in here now!

    Blatt isnt gonna work yet, Cavs defense is just a freaking disgrace and thats WITH the King, Matrix, and Sideshow bob before he got hurt. Waiters isnt bad defensively either when he wants to defend.
