He was already the most hated and disrespected person for 2010.

If we beat San Antonio does any of this happen? Threepeat with a chance for 4, I think he stays and that letter never comes about. Circumstances can change at anytime is all I'm saying.
Honestly? No. In fact, I was one of those saying James becoming a FA meant nothing, as I thought it was merely a ploy to get more $$$ from Miami.

But his body language during that final game said a lot. And the following Riley presser, in which he "challenged" James, and the subsequent moves that were made, made me skeptical of his return.

Still, though, never did I think he'd be returning home to a team with young players and a rookie coach.

So like a previous poster said here, Cleveland should thank the Spurs for allowing this to happen, lol.

It was right after the lockout. He came in close to 40lbs overweight, and was worse before. They tried to get him a trainer, a personal chef, but he didn't care.

The first year, was fine. I think we almost made the playoffs, but that's when big Z's foot problems started.

After the lockout though, Kemp was addicted to food, and cocaine.

I guess you can add "the foot" to a list of bad things that happened in our list of supporting. Z's poor feet, dude tried his hardest.

I think Live 98 or 99, I dominated with the Ukraine Train, Vitaly Potapenko

But Kemp, was a major bust. I had major faith that we'd do great that year.

Re: LeBron James: I'm coming back to Cleveland (OFFICIAL)

I honestly hope he just stays in Cleveland long term and wins them a championship somewhere along the line. That would be the ultimate storyline of course.

I just don't understand the business decision. Why an opt out after this season? If it's in case they don't get Love straight away, Love doesn't sign unless LeBron commits, which he won't since it will be a one year opt in until the TV rights.

Then in 2016, with no bird years, the Cavs will need to use cap space to get him on a new deal (apparently cap increase will be big?) and then who knows if he wants long term after that with the opt out in the current CBA available.

I just would have thought long term deal with opt out for TV rights unless players will come to the Cavs with no LeBron signed long term? Would a FA sign with the Cavs next season with only a verbal commitment from LeBron?

Dellavedova is going to be the backup. Hes more than capable. No need to let Chalmers anywhere near Cleveland.

Are you kidding me? How was a bust if he was the 17th overall pick in the Draft?
