No way he leaves, in my opinion. Will try to catch as many rings as possible with Miami before playing with Cleveland at the end of his career.
Lebron has half-heartedly made a couple comments something like "Never know, could maybe one day go back to Cleveland in my hometown". Maybe teasing just to be nice, so he doesnt look like a total dick for the way he left. So then its media and fans making bold predictions on that. Trying to paint situations how cleveland is an emerging team with kyrie (similar rockets), and how miami might be on "decline" enough to want to explore out of it Though in the 90s bulls example, their trio was still winning titles in their late 30s and actually were at end of careers. The Heat stars still have plenty ball in front of them left. They almost (and shoulda) got beat last year by an even older team. And they DID get beat by an old Dirk Dallas team 3 seasons ago. So I dont think it happens. If anything itd probably be a last career years Elvin Hayes Rockets type of thing token homecoming.
They can still crank out a couple of titles if they become a 'smart' team like the spurs. I don't know if they can be Bulls dominant though..wade doesn't have the same lethality to match pippen/Jordan, and they don't have an elite rebounder
In terms of talent, yes he's better of with Kyrie. However, FO/GM/Ownership is more important to long term success than whoever happens to be playing, Gilbert is a decent owner however the FO he hires are just dumbasses, first Ferry spends all the money on Larry Hughes, Gooden and Sideshow Bob, and now his new FO wastes top picks on Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters, a guy who nobody saw work out at all. People made fun of Kahn for drafting two pgs, well what about the Cavs? After Irving their next 3 best players are all PFs. While I do think it would be nice if LBJ returns back, I don't think he'll win a ring unless Gilbert says he's gonna change his FO again. I mean, what happens when LBJ wants to become serious and be a PF? He's gonna share time with TT, Varejao and now Bennett? Lol!

My dream is for us to trade Lin/Asik/filler in a package and land Dirk, then sign LeBron this summer and have Dirk resign for the low-low. If I'm gonna dream about the best player in the world coming may as well go all out.
Rondo Harden (Who Cares) Lebron Howard CHAMPIONSHIP! Go over the cap who cares. The Brooklyn Nets did it. Heck let's keep Parsons and have a TEAM USA type of team
I hate it when the media compains about al the drama surrounding players and their free agent choices. They are the ones creating this drama to get money. It is like if I would set houses on fire in my street and then start complaining about all the fires in my street.
Exactly. If you ask a player every week where he will go when FA hits what do you expect him to say? He's either going to be really vague about it. "I'll think about it when the time comes." or play to the fans. "I love it here, we'll see what comes of it after the season." They ask them OVER and OVER and look for any hint as to where the player will go, they completely create this drama...then turn around and complain about it. Also funny they complain about Melodrama, Melo did it the right way. Told his team he was out so that they could get something for him and had a solid list of teams he wanted to go.
