where will lebron play next year?

Is that still 10:1? Sounds good to me.

I want to see Cleveland fans in charred lbj jerseys

haha

"it was a burnt offering, we swear!"

cleveland is already the worst most embarrassing city on earth i don't think it needs lebron flexing like "i can break your heart and you'll take me right back cuz you're that desperate" man leave em alone

they r that desperate tho let's be real

chris Broussard on 1st take was on in the barber shop just before and had it at 85% he signs w clev

i still dont buy it obv

I was in Cleveland once for work and I was talking to a colleague about the cavs and I was like "Well hey, at least you got Kyrie Irving" and I couldn't tell if the look on his face was more about-to-cry or about-to-punch-you-in-the-face

tho i do support lagoon board-eating, rip i love hoops

lol took me a min

If the cavs did land both klove and LeBron, we might have to stop calling their front office 'a pack of idiots'.

y'all are crazy

There is stuff floating around on twitter suggesting Cavs have a trade in place for Kevin Love source close to process called it "Nonsense"

Q: What are the chances that the pack of idiots in Cleveland could do all the deals they're rumored to be doing?

A: Zero

whoa

ahhhhh!!!!!!!!

it's funny that he's already setting expectations in that piece

also he keeps saying "i want to win a championship for *northeast ohio*"

leroy jenkins broke the shit out of this story

v interesting that wiggins isnt in there

akron ≠ cleveland

this is the absolute best

holy shit i didn't really believ

e

yeah the 'northeast ohio' thing is pretty funny

lol called it

mentioned in lebron's essay: kyrie irving, tristan thompson, dion waiters, anderson varejao

not mentioned: andrew 'mitch' wiggins

time to move on the Love trade so they can dominate

can't say I'm not surprised but there is a lot of long-term potential with Cleveland having Kyrie Irving and a very young, hungry roster. think this probably looked sexier to Bron than attempting to win w/ a Big Three that was aging, showing diminishing returns, and with a roster that wasn't very deep and flawed.

so what say you all - is Cleveland an instant contender, or is this a multi-year project?

oh geez I forgot the Love trade. if they get him, peace out EC

w/ love? in the east? instant contender. they're an ecf fave even w/o love.

I wonder if its possible bosh and wade had no interest in taking a significant pay cut - hence the miami dream was never gonna be financially feasible (and a shitty idea to boot)

man the fine people of cincinnati

...must feel hella excluded

curious to see what kind of contract wade ends up w/ now. seems like it might be better for both parties if they just let him back in to the old contract.

i'm predicting a Kobe-style "yeah we know you suck now but thanks for all the fish" contract now that they're gonna suck for at least a couple seasons

wade 5 year 130 mill

Mr. Snrub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^ this

lol

He must be snrubbing one out right now

I follow a couple people on twitter who are "in the know"

<3 bron, really really hope the cavs don't fuck this up.

I like the move, if for no other reason than a shakeup in the status quo. been bored watching the same games and being obligated to hate the heat.

the answer is golden state

but wait theres more

.@WindhorstESPN says to keep the idea of LeBron and Luka teaming up in your back pocket 👀

"The best way you can see how LeBron feels about people is who he drafts in his All-Star draft. ... He's drafted Luka Doncic all three years he's been an All-Star." pic.twitter.com/L5l9KIReSj

brons got one more year at $45m and is eligible for an extension this summer will be interesting to see if he and the lakers want to continue

pretty difficult to trade for a contract that big, getting enough cap room for bron also difficult, obvs neither is impossible but youd def be putting you team in a spot for a very old guy, guess theres a chance hed take a smaller deal tho

seem likely hell play out next season with the lakers at least

yah my guess is he finishes that contract then just takes one year lesser deals to ring chase. i guess? idk. could just re-up in LA cos he loves living in LA.

one obvious irony is that while $45 million is too massive a contract for most teams to swallow, it's still less than what bron makes every year on his side deals. He could work for a dollar/year and still make more than 99% of players.

LeBron's legacy on the Lakers is so weird. 3 of the 4 years were utterly embarrassing, including two years where they missed the playoffs entirely despite LeBron playing at a pretty high level. and yet they did win a title, albeit during the bubble season where everything was upside down...so how much does it really count?? still though....a title is a title

seems like people dont really rate the mickey mouse title, but nevertheless bron and the lakers still get to add it to their totals

I mean tbf coming back from 3-1 to beat the 73-win Warriors should count like 2 titles

no

it should count as 3, its that impressive

degrees of difficulty:
--coming back from 1-3 hole
--beating the greatest regular season team of all-time
--winning a championship for a cleveland team of any sport

Seeing LeBron's block in Game 7 is one of the greatest sports moments I've seen live in my life.

removing bookmark

i'd say "cope" but that doesnt look like its going too well

anyway lebron should go to the spurs next year
