    For lulz purposes; do not take seriously:

    Caroline's Cupcakes
    July 5
    Just texting with a friend who is directly tied in with Lebron and his camp, and he swears on his life #TheReturn to Cleveland is a done deal. Per his sources, calls have already been made to other current Cavaliers to spread the news. If this is true, and like anything on the internet, take that with a grain of salt... are you ready to get out your old jersey and welcome Lebron home?!?

    Another draft conspiracy theory coming to light. Give the cavs every #1 pick so Lebron can compete in the city he wants to play in. So obvious now.

    Wait I have a better one

    Love and Martin and future first for Bennett, Thompson, Wiggins, Waiters and Karasev.

    Irving/
    Martin/(Allen)
    James/Harris
    Love/Zeller
    Varejao/(Andersen)

    Have Lebron bring over Andersen and Allen from Miami for vet minimum. Then the cavs can sign some veteran ring chaser backup PG's and 3rd stringers for veteran minimum.

    That's too much for love. The cabs can just offer the 3 1st rounder they have.

    It is too much to offer but the thing is the contracts will be absolutely necessary in the trades. If minny adds there 2015 and 2017 first rd picks i'd say its a pretty fair trade though considering they will be lottery picks.

    I think LeBron will crush Cavs fans just like he did 4 years ago. His returning to Cleveland is nothing more than a tease.

    This looks realistic. If minny knows love will sign they will get as much as they can from the cavs. The cavs will oblige if lebron commits. Kyrie lebron and love are a great big 3 and should with supplemental players be able to cruise to the finals.

    So when trades are made with teams over the cap, the salaries have to be within 115% from each other right?

    I think it's 120% but ya something like that. The cavs need to send out 19ish to get Martin and love.

    Waiters 4
    Tristan 5
    Bennett 5
    Jack 6

    Minny could do a lot worse but they want klay from gs but I hear they are hard capped due to Livingston so I'm not sure how much they can take back.

    I got it. Perfect.

    Love, Martin, Dieng and future first for Bennett, Thompson, Wiggins, Waiters and Karasev. Even trade, contracts work, both teams walk away very happy.

    Irving/Williams
    Martin/Allen
    James/Harris
    Love/Zeller
    Varejao/Dieng/Andersen

    Bet 10 buck mo would sign for vet minimum to team backup with his old buddy in cleaveland too. Sign Allen and Andersen from the heat for vet minimum as well.

    I should be offered the cavs GM spot for such a master piece of a trade idea.

    How exactly is he crushing them though? He never said a word - it's the media hyping this up.

    I'm not blaming LeBron this time. There will be no televised "Decision" to maximize psychological trauma. This is what he should have done 4 years ago.

    Cavs fans have their hopes way up and when he goes back to Miami, they will crash back to the ground.

    The media is indeed hyping this up. No argument there. Hopefully tomorrow the dominoes fall.

    I have a hard time believing Lebron will leave Miami. I think he would have informed his buddy Dwade that he was leaving so Wade wouldnt have opted out leaving all that money on the table.

    Damn! Then we will never know LeBron's decision because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

    As Rockets fans, we should be hoping LeBron heads back to Cleveland. This will give Bosh the final push out of South Beach to take his talents to the Gulf Coast.
