    Well this is a smart move for both LBJ and Cleveland. By leaving LBJ proved his point that the only reason he didn't have a ring because the Cavs team was weak sauce and the coach was brain dead. All the "hate" IMHO was overblown, after the first season I think most fans including Dan Gilbert probably realized that the roster was so horrible LBJ had a right to leave esp since they went from Finals/ECF to number 1 pick. Now the Caves team has both Irving and Wiggins/Love, LBJ can pull the wagon for them now and then let them lead later on when he starts declining.

    Id love to see Dan Gilbert's head photoshopped onto Triple Hs body and Kyrie's on Orton... "theres always a plan z!"

    [rQUOTEr]Pat Riley Statement

    While I am disappointed by LeBron's decision to leave Miami, no one can fault another person for wanting to return home. The last four years have been an incredible run for South Florida, HEAT fans, our organization and for all of the players who were a part of it. LeBron is a fantastic leader, athlete, teammate and person, and we are all sorry to see him go.

    Over the last 19yrs, since Micky and I teamed together, The Miami HEAT has always been a championship organization; we’ve won multiple championships and competed for many others. Micky, Erik and I remain committed to doing whatever it takes to win and compete for championships for many years to come. We’ve proven that we can do it and we’ll do it again.[/rQUOTEr]

    Kyrie is actually metrically a below average point guard. His defence is so bad, his offence doesn't make up for it.

    Also, his catch and shoot stats are very bad!

    I don't know what will happen

    Great! I really want to see James and Wiggins together. The Cavs are gonna be pretty exciting with a core of James, Irving, and Wiggins.

    I can't help but feel good for Cleveland... My only question is who is now the top heel in the NBA? The NBA is no fun if you don't have a team to hate!

    I don't think it was no secret that Lebron was either going to stay in Miami or go to Cleveland. Much respect for him deciding to go back. If he wins rings in Cleveland, then he would cement his place in top 5 GOAT.

    As long as Lebron isn't playing against the Rockets, I will root for him. Gutsy decision on his part.

    This is worth a thread by itself. Good question.

    It's been such an up and down day. I was hoping for the "Doubly Whammy" since my two teams are also the Rockets and Cavs.

    I can't blame Bosh though. He has his rings and he'd be leaving over $35mil behind when all said and done had he gone to Houston
