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

[WTF]

For the Cavs, when we signed him (Cavs). He came in after the lockout 40lbs overweight, and addicted to Cocaine. Not the Sonics Kemp.

Forever.


But he has a huge task on his hands. He knows it himself:

I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I’m going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can’t wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates.

So for the last time as die hard life long Heat fan...Good luck Lebron. We loved you while your wore our jersey, we love you for the 2 titles you were so critical in helping bring our team...but now your not here and we want nothing more than to beat you. Good luck in Cleveland, I am glad your able to "go home" and I respect that decision. It was a man's decision. Your family always comes first. It takes a man to walk away from 4 straight title appearances to try and go home and just bring one to his hometown.

As a long time observer of the NBA he has a huge challenge here. It is all hopes and dreams right now. No proven battle tested players. That includes Kyrie Irving, and that includes a Kevin Love (can he really defend?) if they are able to land him. Wiggins looks like he can be special, but we all know how rookies can either be boom or bust. It happens so often. He will never, ever have another wing man like he did with Wade those last 4 years. And a big like Bosh who created that space and defended the pick and roll like a stud.

Ever.


The only thing that is really a let down for us Heat fans is we always knew Lebron was not going to retire here. We knew that from day one. But we always thought we would enjoy his game for 5-6 years easy. This was a little abrupt. And to leave after we went down 4-1.....feels kinda small and kinda like I quit and don't believe in my teammates anymore. It just does. I know he flat out denies that in his fantastic letter. But just saying...

But again. If he really wants to "go home" it is what it is.

Good luck (well not really).

Kyrie isnt what Wade was when LBJ first joined him, but Kyrie's game will mesh better because of his ability to shoot, and we already know how solid Kyrie is at getting to the basket. Kyrie has no where but to go up, like a lot of our young guys do. Andy can defend the pick and roll very well, and his offense has improved. If we get Love, he can do what Bosh did offensively, but with better rebounding, as well as play inside. Right now, we have the talent to make at least some noise, lack of experience for the young guys are concerns. The talent is solid though and if we get Love, a trio of LBJ, Love, and Kyrie could be as good or maybe better than the trio in MIA. Wiggins is important as well, he let LBJ not have to play major minutes and can grow into his role, a lot like Leonard in San Antonio.
