LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I would like to think he means reunite in the play offs for bigger and better things meaning going for a Ring but this is LeBron so yeah prob not.
 
Cap experts - how realistic is a return to Miami?
 
I don't think LeBron is that dumb. Heck he probably covered his mouth to bring more attention to it. He knows nothing he says on a court is private. At least I hope he does.

I keep feeling like this is some terrible soap opera. NBA WWE style, or something. I'm sure it's in Las Vegas' best interest for the Cavs and LeBron to suck as long as possible. /tinfoilhat

He's not that dumb, but he is that arrogant.

Not with the phrase: ''If we aren't better this year"...

I am not a cap expert but It is possible however barley though and it would have to take a insane amount of trades ect. Basically he would win nothing going back there. If he were to leave he would be better off going to a team like the Clippers.
 
I tweeted to Haynes, McMenamin, and Lloyd to please ask LeBron about this today. If you have Twitter, please do the same - they need to do some reporting and ask about this.

That part is murky to me at times it sounds like "We're going to get better" and at times "If we don't get better" Yeah i'm going with the second quote but part of me was praying it was what i wanted to hear.
 
For those who will ask if the Heat can afford him next year here is the Heat pay roll. It seems not next year but in two years they can.

I'm with you. I can't make out that phrase, and the fact is I read the "quote" prior to listening, so now I hear what the quote said it was. I wish I had watched it before reading the quote so I had no influence on what it was I heard.
 
I'm curious who decided to emphasize this today. The footage has been out there for 6 days at this point, and people noticed at that time that he covered his mouth with his jersey. I wonder why is it coming out now.

There are arguments to made that today's flurry is created by the media, people associated with LeBron, people associated with the Cavs, anyone who hates the Cavs, a bored audio engineer, and so on.
I would guess Bill Simmons, and Dan Le batard..then there's Windhorst..:chuckle:
 
Cap experts - how realistic is a return to Miami?
Nearly impossible. They are almost capped out with guaranteed money to Bosh, Deng, McRoberts, Birdman, Udonis, Chalmers, Granger, Cole, and Napier.

Only way they can make it happen is if Wade and Lebron both opt out and play for the minimum.

Unless Lebron and Wade plan to reunite in Philadelphia, it's not gonna happen.

I agree its pretty weird how this has just come out of nowhere today . Its just weird that in the past week it seems like everything is seeming to make Lebron look like the bad guy. Kyrie Irving played exactly how Lebron has played most of the season and had 8 turnovers but people on this forum and Blatt raved about his play.
 
Any possibility that he said "if YOU ALL don't get any better this year and you wanna re-unite? I know it's a long shot but we Cleveland fans always jump on the pessimistic side
