And even though he makes 15 mill in the 2014-15 season it's only a 8.3 mill cap hit. I'd like it a lot

Thank you. People are wearing wine and gold glasses. I'm not saying he'll never come back, it just won't be next year.

ESPN and many other writers and outlets are wearing them as well, then.

There's a difference between being a homer and trying to build and carry a story.

Lebron isn't coming back to Cleveland next year, no matter what these "sources" you guys all have are saying.

There is just a good of a chance he returns to Cleveland as any other city, imo.

Besides everyone close to him doing the exact same thing they did last time, but this time in Cleveland's favor...

nobody is being a homer. All signs point to there being a decent chance Lebron returns. Who cares if he doesnt? Not me, personally. Its still important to maintain cap flexibility with the huge FA class.

The homer comment was in reference to you saying ESPN people must be wearing the wine and gold glasses as well. They aren't homers they're just trying to make a story out of nothing. It's what ESPN does.

Are you even a cavs fan? Not a mavs fan?

Yeah...cbs, bleacherreport, yahoo, nbc, espn...they're all just trying to make stories out of nothing. If thats all they do, why do we bother reading any journalism?

Also, is it possible for you to have a conversation without being a douche bag? Are you a Kansas fan or an OSU fan? What about a Cinci fan or a Cleveland fan? Thats quite a question for you to pose to me. Personally, I dont give a shit who you root for. Enough with the shit.

I honestly have no idea what he'll do, and couldn't care less since it's such a ways away. If Miami dominates this season and wins it all, I think he'll try to stick around and keep the same core together as much as they can. If they lose, then he may leave, and Cleveland has to be atop of potential places to go.

LOL did I hit a nerve? Fucking pansy, lighten up.

I'm not a god damn Ohio state basketball and Kansas basketball fan. You root for the damn cowboys then pretend to be a browns fan "also" on browns threads. Just wondering if you are the same with the mavs and cavs that's all.

Didnt hit a nerve, just tired of the ******ry. I come to the board to discuss sports. If you want to derail threads by taking little pot-shots, take it to the basement. I believe there is a thread just for me down there.

Its pretty funny, if Cleveland fans say they dont want Lebron back, its because "we're butthurt". If we think he is going to come back "we're homers".

Whether lebron comes back is iffy at best.... But I find it hard to believe that the front office won't make the pitch of a lifetime to him next summer. So much money is involved in what he brings to the city.

You're reading into what one poster said and acting as if everyone says that. Fail, shoud probably just drop it.

LB will return after next season. Unfinished bidness with a promise he made. I'm looking forward to it and the Cavs once again competuing for a title. The only thing I wont like is Brownie kissin his ass after every game.

1 year contract would be awesome with me. Or even a 3-4 year contract with a couple team options, only 1st year guaranteed. I'd rather have oden, but bynum is good too
