LeBron James to return to Cavs to defend title in '16-'17

[Mawly-G]

Now Stephen A Smith and the rest of the analysts putting out bogus rumors can shut the hell up

[Kiddlovesnets]

Of course he will, Lebron isnt satisfied with winning just one ring with Cleveland. To build another champion team takes a lot of risks, and at least another 2 years. He will be 34 then, its too much uncertainty. Only mad knicks fans actually think Lebron is leaving Cleveland, oh yeah the likes of KnicksFever2010.

No surprise. Anyone who thought otherwise is brain-dead.

[Quickening]

What a great guy, could easily have gone and won another organisation a chip.

Cavs are a dynasty in the making

Tristan and Kyrie are only 24 years old with THIS much playoff experience

Love is also young and a great trade piece if things get bumpy

They are all locked into max contracts with Cle

All Cavs have to do is minimally week the bench and vet guys

This team will be contenders for YEARS


Lebron KNOWS this

I think they put the numbers up, but if LeBron does another 2 year deal with a opt out, he can opt out in 2017, then sign a 5 year deal worth an estimated $204 million.

LeBron will lead Cavs to a 2nd title next year.

I think that would be a mistake for any team to give him that long of a contract at the age of 32 when he's already logged about 10,000 to 15,000 more minutes at his current age than most of his contemporaries did. He's played basically the same amount of minutes as Kobe Bryant has while being 6 years younger. He has more minutes logged than any star player has had at his age, no matter how gifted you are, how fit you are, that wear and tear adds up over time.


I think he can be pretty good for another few seasons but when he goes downhill, it will happen fast.
