where will lebron play next year?

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

I want to know more about snrub's snources

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

lol @ Ted Mosby, I was actually thinking "if HIMYM was still on the air we would definitely get some jokes out of this next season"

yeah if they were savvier and more in touch w/ that fanbase they would've tilted to 'he's coming back' in the last couple of years and then had everyone thinking they predicted it like biggie and the wtc

It burns me that Snurb is a better prognosticator than that owl.

I fuckkng had a dream last night that Bron was going to the cavs

Aw yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ImCpNqbJw

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.

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

anyway lebron should go to the spurs next year
