@KingJames LeBron was a winner on and off the court, and Laker fans should appreciate his performance for the last 8 years. If LeBron goes home to Cleveland, it won’t matter if they win the World Championship or not because his hometown fans will get their opportunity to say their goodbyes to one of the greatest ever.
And who knows one day he may become Mayor of Cleveland !!
Depending on what Harden would take, here’s how moving off Schroder + Strus would open up enough room to use NTMLE and BAE (or to re-sign Ellis/Wade pending Harden).
LeBron James, 41, announced he’s leaving the Lakers one day after his son Bronny’s $2.3M contract became fully guaranteed.
After an eight-year tenure with the Lakers, it remains to be seen what he’ll do next. A return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, his hometown team, which he led to a historic 2016 title, would be a poetic final chapter — and could give Cleveland the missing piece it needs to get over the hump.

Channing Frye on the possibility of Lebron going to the Warriors:
"That's just gross. It won't look right. This lineup it's a men's 40 and over league. What are we doing?"
Amid LeBron James' impending exit from Los Angeles, sources say the Cavaliers have held ongoing trade conversations regarding veterans Max Strus and Dennis Schröder, which could help Cleveland free the space to add James, and also benefit the Cavs' effort to retain Dean Wade.

“Teams expect the Warriors, Cavs, the Heat to emerge as some of the suitors for LeBron James,” - @ShamsCharania.
Shams notes that wherever LeBron lands in free agency will be led by happiness and not money 👀👀👀
Cleveland Cavaliers have interest in a second reunion with LeBron James with the appeal of the franchise’s greatest player finishing his career where it all started, league sources tell me.
I don't really think it makes him a villain as much as it just takes away from past accomplishments. If GS was younger and a legit contender it makes basketball sense. Trying to win with a core 4 with the average age of 37 is just silly and a waste of time. To me CLE and LA are the only 2 options that make sense. MIA roster is just too flawed currently.
On the eve of NBA free agency, sources tell @clevelanddotcom that #Cavs and Dean Wade are having ongoing negotiations and dialogue. Both sides plan to keep working to see if a deal is possible before free agency Tuesday. Neither side has closed the door on a return to Cleveland.
