I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm one of the people that laughed a year ago with even the slightest proposition that he might be going back to Cleveland. Of course, who knows. He could just say **** it and sign with Miami again in a few days, but I really do think he's headed back.

I also believed he would never leave cleaveland, but the dude got up and did it. No reasons why he can't do the same crazy move again and go back to cleaveland. Honestly aside from the rockets getting Bosh, I'd really want James to go back to cleaveland. James was born and raised in Cleveland, 1st overall pick, one of the greatest players of all time, Cleveland's never won a championship before... It all adds up to be a great story. Lebron leaving sucked, really wish he would of stayed, but i'm sure if he goes back to cavs and wins them a ring to or 2 it will still be an amazing story. Bringing cleaveland their first championship would insane, James and Kyrie would also be a really badass duo.
As much as I want him to go to Cleveland (for Bosh to Houston), I still think he is just trying to strong-arm the Heat into making more moves (maybe getting Wade and Bosh to sign for less to get more space) or to possibly say he wants Melo and not Bosh or no Bosh and other players with that money (which works for us!)
It would instantly become the "feel good" sports story of the year. It would be a trip to beat that team in the Finals with Bosh. How I hope we get the chance!
there's no way he'd troll cleveland like that again (his twitter location, i mean)... not possible. holy cow this is happening. bron to cle, bosh to hou.... ***** yes!
Technically, Lebron hasn't said or let anyone speak on his behalf on this matter so wouldn't surprise me if he goes back to Miami and he always knew. This could all just be for television and entertainment purposes by (fake) insiders and whoever.
why would he feed anything into the rumor mill he hasnt said a single thing, and he probably won't until he finally announces it

I would like to know how everything changed for Lebron. The story behind this. Is it the loss to the Spurs, the disconnect with Wade/Bosh? He went from winning multiple championships to two rings and then bye bye?
