So how exactly is Lebron going to the cavs "bailing when the going gets tough?"

[WindmiLL]

It's an excuse made in advance to discredit anything Lebron possibly achieves there(assuming he goes there). Now they are very young talented team who can probably barely make the playoffs. Like BigTicket said, probably 1st round exit. Cavs have very big potential but only after around 3-4 years can fruits of this potential be really enjoyed. That's when Lebron will be on the real decline probably.

So that's not bailing, bailing would be if Lebron somehow ended on Spurs, OKC, Indiana, LAC (assuming those teams don't trade any of their star/best players), teams which are real contenders even without Lebron there.

Don't know what you guys still debating over this post should end the thread already

They will either pan out and leave when their rookie deals end or flame out.

Has a max player EVER left a team that made 4 straight NBA finals before (winning 2, 3 if said player weren't a big-moment shrinking spaz)?

Seems it would take an odd mentality to do something like that, but Bron's always had one of those.

Another reason why he's bailing is because LeBron is very media savvy. And he knows that the d*ckriding media is gonna be all over his nuts if he goes back to the Cavs and wins a championship there. Meaning that 1 championship with the Cavs and this b*llshit, "romantic", homecoming story that the media has been trying to push for months will be hyped and framed as having "more value" than him winning multiple more rings in Miami or any other team. "Perfect storybook fairy tale ending" bs storylines.

You can already see the manifestation of that mentality in Pauk's retarded, LeBron apologist post.

[Cleverness]

Bron will definitely be "bailing when the going gets tough" if he leaves Miami. They've been to 4 straight NBA Finals (I know that's considered a bad thing on ISH, but it's actually a good thing) with guys he practically chose to play with back in 2010.

However, the Cavs are NOT a stacked team ready to win a championship.

2011 Cavs: 19-63
2012 Cavs: 21-45
2013 Cavs: 24-58
2014 Cavs: 33-49

Definitely an upward trend, but their record is garbage, especially for playing in the weaker eastern conference.

so we gonna act like this wasnt planned by bran and dan gilbert. Lebron has to leave to win rings and let cleveland tank for 1st round picks.
