Where does LeBron Land?
 

Obviously a very polarizing story line.

bein from crack-run ohio, I have my allegiances.

I went to walsh vs. st. v. (rivals, along with hoban)... soccer & rugby player vs. football and bball lol

I also lived one street away from him when he moved to idlebrook and rebuilt a mansion in bath on a 2 lot property lol.



All that backdrop is to lead you to this fact and subsequent question:

You heard it here first: there were cement trucks at his 'house' (2.5 houses, with the side house looking legit enough for most dudes), there 3 weeks ago...


What does that fact mean to you? Does it 'cement' your expectation as an NBA fan?

Let us know your thoughts below!

i didn't expect such a run-away victory by one team so fast!

I hope he goes back to the Cavs. A lot of young talent there, if he was to go there they could move some pieces and get a better big man.

Miami Heat just picked up Danny Granger and High energy player Josh McRoberts. I don't think thats really enough to entice Lebron back to the Heat. I think hes tired of carrying Dwayne wades legs and a big man whos shooting 30ft away from the basket for another season.

I couldn't agree more..

BUT --- do you think the 'chris bosh to Houston' ----> cap salary ------> carm. anthony to Heat holds weight?



4 years ago I would say that sounded nonsensical, but showing Bosh the door to get Anthony would be pretty crazy/funny at this point even lol.

Lebron and Melo are good friends but then again so are Kobe and Melo.

I don't think Melo adjusting his game will be hard for him, I think he's a high IQ player, but I don't think he wants to play the 4. So going to Miami is sort of an iffy situation because, him and lebron would have to play the 4 way more often then they like, 2. he would have to play without the ball a lot. He's done well if you look at the way he plays on the US national team but still.

Bosh to the Rockets makes sense to me. At least there it makes sense for him to hang around the 3pt line with Howard inside. Beverley, James Harden, some sf, Bosh and Howard looks like a well rounded team.

Miami's pitch to Bosh: "Are you sure you trust the situation here even though LeBron is noncommittal? We do not question your loyalty by passing on our low-ball offer --- you are known to be a high IQ individual and it never made financial sense... As such, one of our two FA signings is your replacement at that Power Forward position --- so you would have to play Center, even though you hate playing center. Given the situation, and since we are family, we highly encourage you to do what makes sense for your family... Seeing that Houston offer, it's just too good to pass up, we just cannot compete with it... You can play with a great cast, in your home state for Max money... It's been a great run, thank you for your efforts and we're sorry to see you go (...but we need you to go, so we can shock the world' and reinvest your salary into Melo to keep James here, buhahah)

Bosh: Pat, I wanted you to hear it from me first... I spoke with the Rockets.... and I told them: to take the money and shove it!! my loyalty lies with you, LeBron and the Heat organization!!! Big 3 Reunion Baby!!

Pat: dammit Bosh, there is no big 3, you are a third wheel. I need you to leave. You are the tool I was referencing when I talked about re-tooling.

Bosh: Thank you for your candor, Pat. I can take a hint: I will leave the Houston option open and wait for for LBJ to make a decision first. I just want what's best for the Heat.

Pat: dammit Bosh, by wanting to stay you are going to inhibit us from signing Melo, which will lead to LBJ leaving. You are going to set our organization back 10 years.

Bosh: I won't abandon you even if LBJ leaves, Pat. You can build around me.

Pat: dammit Bosh

Didnt the cavs just give someone the salary cap? I dont think they can afford LeBron anymore

Bron stays in Miami.

So does bosh.

Wade retires. Melo comes to his senses.

Done and done.

Heat in 5

Lol, quoted for trutb

Hopefully on Doug Funny's head.

Lebron going back to Cleveland would be hilarious. Leave's Cleveland to get over the hump. Get's over the hump in Miami. Leaves the hump and goes back to Cleveland. I have no idea why Cavalier fans are clamoring to have him back.

as a cavalier fan i have watched maybe 10 games MAX, since lebron left.

i never got on the hate bandwagon like most, because i never cared as much as everyone else really i worked with people who joked about burning his house down and had a plan and shit i was like wtfffff. im a cavs fan i wish them well but i don't watch them BUMS. i watched lebron tho he balled out. every game was on regular cable etc.

shit was dope

i also lived in akron a couple years, like 06-07ish. and where i stay at now is still the 330 area code

330 WATUP

lebron will be a brown before he is a cav again. which means never

if it happened tho i would enjoy it.

Lebrons going back to Cleveland.

They have a max deal they can offer. They are lookin at signing Ray Ray


But rumor is the Cavs also have a deal In place with Minnesota revolving around Wiggins for Kevin Love.


Shits about to go down.

Kyrie, Lebron, and Love is legit


In my opinion Wade was better than Kyrie. But. Kyrie, Lebron and Love > wade lebron and bosh. In terms of maximizing players potentials and ease of chemistry. The heat had to scale back. Especially bosh. To fit. Cleveland in this case would be a very well balanced team and would not force anyone to take a back seat.

Lol the browns could use bron tbh

fear not, @uh-oh, barring significant changes to the landscape in the immediate future, it's a done deal my brotha.

With all of the BS floating around the twitterverse these days - there are few sources that can be trusted.... and the ones you can trust are often outdated.

even though there were enough one-off reasons to feel optimistic, as they came together --- a fan favorite, LBJ buddy, and Cavs employee finally put any doubt to rest in Cleveland.

After not posting anything since March, good 'ol Big Z logged into FB, and posted a picture of him and LBJ with now words.... then subsequently "liked" the first response, "do you know something??"

lol

hey tho, my source and deductive reasoning prowess are both more credible, clear, and more timely than what we're getting out of most media outlets tho lol ;)

i'd say he lands on the ground, myself

unless he took up base jumping..

Tbh I want the hornets to get him

Idk where Lebron lands but I know that his nuts lands in your mouth. I'm so sick of the Lebron talk he's not me and he's not helping your life. So much hoopla over where he might go big whoop.

I'm the Lebron James of Netcees.

Actually, I've never thought of it that way, but he does help my life.

By taking up a larger % of residence in Bath --- he is on the hook to contribute a not-insignificant amount of tax $$ to our modest township.

Also from a leisure standpoint: I like watching basketball, and the cavs are my team, he improves them - making it more enjoyable to watch.

I could go on, but as you know, watching you pendulum swing from "stock savant" to "angry teen" over and over, your swag is becoming both tired and forced... a really uninteresting combo bro.


but yo, on the real, and speaking of 'not improving your life' anyway - what is it you do for a living again? I know you remind everyone how wealthy you are, but forgot how you found that success (outside of stock hits obv...)

news and telescope-esque cameras are outside of his house just waiting... according to sources, their sources did not inform them that he was currently in vegas lol.


also, c'mon, this is great:

Lebron to the Knicks. duh

that boy either staying w/ heat or going to cleveland

Thanks John Madden

got you all day

I can't believe how hard Freddie Coleman, and some others on ESPN, are still pushing the 'back to the Heat' move.

It seriously sounds like their employees are often forced to drink the same kool-aid.

and that is not to say that the Heat wasn't a great option, clearly --- but everyone knows their past success wasn't as indicative of future performance in their case, it all came down to Wade there (and he knows it).

The least self-aware of the Big 3 is Chris Bosh lol.


I use to hate that guy, but the entire Cavs fan base owes him for clinging onto LBJ's hip long enough to not allow Melo to sneak into the mix.

Chris Sheridan is saying it's a done deal and that lebron is going to Cleveland and will be announcing it on his own webpage.

word up man


given my general distrust of sports news brought to us by ESPN, paid for by Disney... I often defer to my, even limited, resources vs. their sources lol...

so in terms of his website, here's an interesting nugget:

the look/feel of lebronjames.com was stagnant for several months (if you look in the web archives/way back machine) through May of this year.

Then, it went through major rebranding in the beginning of June --- interestingly, really hammering on the "Akron" angle front and center. (Akron skyline in the hero image, and big block quotes, "JUST A KID FROM AKRON OHIO")...


And while he's always expressed his loyalty to Akron --- and differentiates it from Cleveland like must of us from Crackrun do --- the fact it was newly introduced + the timing of it definitely made it just another little hint out there.

Anyway, I honestly think that LBJ and his crew are more savvy 'personal brand experts' than the gen. public gives them credit --- outside of the Decision debacle (which was def. fueled by ESPN too lol) --- they probably been planning this for longer than we think.


word up though, I have full confidence it's a done deal though.... and also think the "break" between Riles' meeting and his announcement is simply to allow for posturing and not make it look like it was a done deal.

his boys, agent, and wife all wanted him to as well - s'pecially with his new daughter on the way - fortunately we have a decent supporting cast to build around him this time though lol

As pissed as I was at how much he set back our franchise --- I do feel bad for the Heat.

They'll be cutting a smaller version of those Kobe checks to DWade for 4some years --- with only like one or two familiar faces from the old regime and a couple of new faces that went there under the guise that they were 'retooling' v. full on rebuild.


Then the cherry on the shit Sundae... The Heat is missing a lot of picks in the near future... Coincidentally, or maybe not, it's the CAVS that have their pick in 2015 --- when they did the sign & trade for Bron haha

its not gonna happen

quit building it up in your head

you are going to be disappointed
