He's all about getting the rings and imo the only team that could give him that opportunity would be Houston as they have a premier center and good key players. Teams I think he has a title shot with: Bulls - no Mavs - ... maybe Suns - no Hawks - no Lakers - no Blazers - ... maybe Thunder - yes Rockets - yes Spurs - yes

Well considering he lead a pretty par Cavs teams to one Finals and a handful of ECF's, plus he's better today than he was then. I'd say almost every team he would consider has a damn good chance.


As far as chasing rings can't really blame him. He's legacy would've take a crazy hit if he ended his career without any. Really IMO he needs at least 2 more to get the credit I think his talent deserves.

LeBron is staying in Miami. He is just giving them the space to get players. Bron is to sensitive to go through The Decision again.

If he stays the NBA will lean more towards boring and if he leaves it will spice things up imo. I think he should bounce to another team and spread the wealth around. The NBA could be fresh and exciting again if you had one mega-star per team!! I think winning a title in Miami was a forgone conclusion; go try winning a title with a underdog team. Teams shouldnt be able to afford to pay 2 mega-stars like Lebron n Melo!

LBJ is obviously coming to Boston because of the aura of playing for the Celtics. The tradition of the franchise.

No really, there are Celtics fans who actually believe this. One of many reasons I can't stand Celtics fans.

James coming back to Cleveland is as likely as Tom Brady leaving NE for the Dolphins.

James leaving for better surroundings is plausible but I doubt he's actually leaving. Probably just a power move on his part to get Riley to upgrade the team..

In short, I don't care. It hurt me when he left Cleveland but I'm over it now.

Do whatever the hell you want LeBron.

If Wade and Bosh opt out so they can take pay cuts, I can see LeBron returning to Miami, if they can add a few pieces they can easily get back to the finals again. Plus he'd be wise to stay in the East.

Agreed. My gut says he stays with Miami, but if he does go elsewhere it will be an Eastern Conference team. Almost any team he joins would be a favorite to win the East.
