    Default For Lebron so loved the idea of returning home...

    That he wants to overhaul the team by offloading their young talent and gathering former teammates to play with him?

    On top of that, he commits to 1 year with a second year option. If he is so adamant about helping this team, why not just commit to the max now over 4 or 5 years? And once the new cap comes in, he allows for more cap space so the management can sign other good players around him..

    That humble, gracious and wonderful guy...where does the media narrative make sense here.

    It doesn't.

    Its all business bruh. Signing a 2-yr contract gives him the most money that cavs can offer at the moment. Once the contract expires he then could sign for a 4yr contract around 97mil

    Lebron and his fans and media portray his action as loyalty, but in a non bias persons perspective, its all about money and the attention that he gets from coming back to The Cavs

    This is a business. Lebron's goal is to bring a championship to Cleveland. That's it. He has no ties to any of the talent there. Absolutely none. He doesnt care what happens to them and he shouldnt. All this unroven young talent is just useless hype for Lebron.

    As for the rest of your post,
    There is nothing wrong with the best player in the world trying to get paid.

    The guy is mega rich and will make bucket loads of cash in endorsements etc because of his move to Cleveland.

    The cap provides flexibility for the management to fit players around him. Taking the biggest chunk possible out of it does not help your team get better or your situation.

    Its just pure selfishness and greed.

    It's not as much about coming home as he would like people to think..

    Option

    A) return to the heat, media narrative begins to question wether the big 3 have lived up to expectations, having more finals series lost than won begins to creep up.. Ultimate pressure to make the finals again, live up to the "not 5 not 6 not 7 but 8" hype..

    Or

    B) return home, be touted as a hero, no pressure to return or even win the finals the next year, release a statement written by a PR guy with an apology and take the expectations off of making the finals or winning a championship by claiming "it's a process, this will take time" (all while trying to gut the team for all stars and former teammates ) if you make the finals or even the ECF in that shitty conference you'll be praised, if you win a championship after getting your hand picked all stars (again) you'll be praised like superman..win-win situation


    Brans gonna take option B obviously

    Go to Cleveland, win a championship, then go back to where he belongs in Miami, and win 4 more.

    I've been saying this for the longest. Lebron wins a ring these first two years and he's gone.
