According to this, Lebron brings in about $120 Million in revenue a year to downtown Cleveland. If it's not already happening, the City should be giving Gilbert tax breaks to help offset his NBA luxury taxes to keep LeBron.

And, oddly enough, the Bulls are supposedly too.

Depending on what Rose decides will tell us a lot about him and what he values.

All he has to do is look at the contracts that Delly and Mozgov got after playing with us. Seems like a no brainer to me.

That worries me some but don't know completely what to take of Kyrie other than he is an outstanding scorer and is very well spoken.

Lol good luck with that. Unless we get Leonard back he ain't going there. He's in no position to choose anywhere. I'd trade his ass to the knicks for melo and porzingas

Does he have a no trade clause?

Cavs could come out decent in this if not. 3 yrs left on what has become a good contract. Cavs don't need equal value, just equal talent, as they are in win this year mode.

Dont to get me wrong, this is not good, but getting back a player as good is attainable.

Other than marketing, what's the appeal to go to New York?

Kyrie doesn't care about winning, it appears. Wants to run a team and be the focal point, not LBJ...

Smh, only in the NBA a team can go to three straight finals and then be in disarray with the same core roster.
