July 9, 201412 yr Can Miami even be considered a top East Conf team if LBJ returns. That team would still need a lot of help and not have much $$$ to do it with. Who is available outside of Melo that could come to Miami and give them a realistic shot at getting back to the finals?
July 9, 201412 yr That depends IMO. If Melo goes to Chicago, they'll give whomever LeBron plays for a run for their money. Truth.
July 9, 201412 yr If it really means LeBron is coming back, I offer the TWolves Wiggins, Varejao, and my 2015 1st rounder. Maybe another pick or two if need be. LeBron, Kyrie, and Love would win titles IMO. Cleveland has 3 first round picks (1 a possible lottery pick) next season, send them all for Love along with Wiggins or Varejao. I think they could keep one of those two. Wiggins and KI are the only Cavaliers that should not be allowed to be traded. No way I am giving up Wiggins if I am Cleveland.
July 9, 201412 yr That depends IMO. If Melo goes to Chicago, they'll give whomever LeBron plays for a run for their money.Melo probably should go there. He can play crappy defense there and not be as big of a liability. I'd say they are currently 3rd behind LA and NY though.
July 9, 201412 yr Melo probably should go there. He can play crappy defense there and not be as big of a liability. I'd say they are currently 3rd behind LA and NY though. Agreed, and that's because Chicago can't offer anywhere close to what those two can.
July 9, 201412 yr Wiggins and KI are the only Cavaliers that should not be allowed to be traded. No way I am giving up Wiggins if I am Cleveland. Even if Big LeBron wants to come save your bacon and says "Bring me Kevin Love!"?
July 9, 201412 yr Even if Big LeBron wants to come save your bacon and says "Bring me Kevin Love!"?Andrew who?
July 9, 201412 yr This is supposedly in front of LeBron's Miami house. Moving trucks and his car on the trailer...
July 9, 201412 yr FYI... @WojYahooNBA: Updated story on LeBron James, the Heat, Cavs and free agent moons surrounding them. Y! SPORTS The Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing a trade for Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star forward Kevin Love contingent on the signing of LeBron James, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The Timberwolves will demand Andrew Wiggins, the Cavs' No. 1 overall pick from last month's NBA draft, be a part of any proposed deal, sources told Yahoo Sports.
July 9, 201412 yr FWIW... @sheridanhoops: LeBron James is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a source tells Basketball News and Opinion | Sheridan Hoops ?. @KingJames #LeBronToClev Latest News on Top NBA Free Agents 2014
July 9, 201412 yr Even if Big LeBron wants to come save your bacon and says "Bring me Kevin Love!"? You have to give Lebron what he wants but right now Wiggins is the cheapest he will ever be. A good GM would keep Wiggins and KI and get Love for Lebron. Hell, I can do that. Seeing that Minnesota is 'demanding' Andrew Wiggins makes it smart on Minnesota's part. I'm guessing Cleveland will see how strong of a demand that is.
July 10, 201412 yr Latest News on Top NBA Free Agents 2014 The Decision has been made. LeBron James is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a league source tells SheridanHoops.com. James met with Miami Heat president Pat Riley today in Las Vegas to deliver the news. A contingent of other Heat officials were informed they were not welcome at the meeting, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity. An official announcement will be made on The Official Website of LeBron James, as I first reported yesterday. For Cleveland, this is one of the most important days in the city’s sports history. No pro team has won a title of any kind since the Browns won the NFL Championship in 1964, and now there is a distinct possibility that the 50-year drought can end. James will be joining a team led by Kyrie Irving, who just agreed to a five-year contract extension, along with Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 pick in last month’s draft. It is a young core that will grow older with James as their tutor and leader, and he returns to Cleveland as a grown man who has learned what it takes to win. For Miami, it is the end of an era — a four-year period in which a superteam was constructed and went to four straight NBA Finals. Why is this happening? It comes down to LeBron building a legacy, which leads us to three points: There is nothing left for him to accomplish in Miami. He went there for four years, he went to the NBA Finals all four years, and he won two titles while learning what it takes to be a champion. Nobody can ever take that away from him. A chance to return home as a successful, seasoned adult with a chance to deliver the city of Cleveland its first championship since 1964 is too much of a legacy opportunity for James to pass up. And another thing: With all due respect to Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, the best player he has a chance to team up with is named Kyrie Irving. Read more at Latest News on Top NBA Free Agents 2014
