    Headed back to the Cavs. I wonder if they will start burning jerseys in Miami.

    Yeah, I think it's pretty certain Bosh will get out of there as well.

    I heard (before a LeBron decision was coming) that Bosh was going to leave IF LeBron left...

    I was listening to Sports Radio til 2 in the morning PST. They said he was in Cleveland talking to the Cavs. Yet they hadn't said if he signed a contract, what are the details of the Cavs contract, he DID sign right, please excuse the slow mindedness, I'm not right this morn...

    I think that is where LeBron should play, try to build another team around him. I didn't want to see him with the Knicks, Celtics, or Lakers, Nets, tho' I'd of been thrilled to see him in Oklahoma, Dallas, or Chicago....but....he does belong back home. May the Cavs flop, ie, or may a Tim Duncan like player(s), always stand in his way, of being compared time and time again, to the Michael Jordan he too often was referred too. Tho' those comparisons are already drying up, if I hear as much again, I'm going to hit my radio with a ball bat....the nerve of NBA Fan-atics, who belive LJ could even carry MJ's Jock Strap.

    Those fruitless comparisons over years, turned me off to Le Bron, not saying he wasn't a special talent coming fresh out of High School, I got to give LJ some kudos tho' for his first years, as few H.S. players go on to have the success LJ did have. Tho' to reiterate, LJ is no MJ, or Magic Johnson. IMO Johnson was the best assists player I have ever seen. MJ, other than Lew Alcindor & Wilt the Stilt, was the best offensive threat I've ever seen. In all these young years.....

    It was a good plan for the Cavs. Lebron leaves to go pursue some titles in Miami. During that time they absolutely suck and hoard number one picks in the draft. Four years later Lebron returns to lead a team that will be the next dynasty.

    This LeBron fiasco is a repeat of his stupid DECISION that was made 4 years ago. The clown is an ego-maniac. When he did his juvenile "Not, one, not two, not three" etc bullshit I have no doubt that he knew he was going to opt out after 4 years. Doing the right thing he says in going home, what a crock, he followed the money, all 22M per.

    As far as Bosh the heat WAY over paid (5 yrs 118M) to keep him in Miami.

    Well I think this makes the GOP happy as they just selected Cleveland as the site of their 2016 national convention. You would expect the Cavs to be relevant that June and the additional optics will be used, especially in Ohio.

    Right, lol! How could I forget. I'm sure Hugh Hewitt was in his glory yesterday. I usually try to catch his " Hillsdale Dialogues" with Dr. Larry Arnn on Fridays at 5 on the commute home. Good seminar series, always makes me go back and read old books, lol!

    Just the player trying to coerce the Cavs into building a team around him. He is trying to have some level of control. Now this doesn't work if the player isn't truly a leader ( Kobe for example). IMHO opinion he has never played to his fullest potential or been transformational in how the game is played. We've seen a lot of hype in the post Jordan era (honorable mention to Bird, Magic, etc) and I just don't see anyone in this era that lives up to those standards. Nor do I that its necessary. Look what happen to baseball trying to find the next Aaron...

    Aaron, or the next Willie Mays, how many players did we hear, "He's the next Mays"?

    Griffey Jr. (not Mays but damn close enough to be considered on par with Mays)....Andrew Jones, no f'kn way.....The latest Mays comparision, I heard during a Tigers Game, when Austin Jackson, (who the Yanx should of NEVER let go in the Grandy Trade, and/or never made the Grandy Trade, and kept Jackson)....

    About anyone who ever played OF aggressively, with some pop in their bats, were too often over-praised, as the 2nd coming of Willie Christ...!

    BTW- there has not been one effing night since Le Bron turned his nose up to the Heat, in which the Le Bron soap opera debacle is NOT on Sports Radio.....

    Instead of destroying my trucks dash, by taking a bat to the radio, I just blew the whole f'kng truck up....!

    Back to hitchhiking, or Horse...! Just say NO to sports radio....Boycott is on, until Le Bron breaks his ankle....!
