Huge news, IMO. Though it's not surprising, since the Cavs have put together a terrific supporting cast for him. So much for superstars won't go to cold midwest cities.
So how many Ws for Cleveland next season? Bulls ahead of Cavs in Central? Will now try to land Love? Hopefully Bulls will have a good plan, too.
Agree that this is a huge story. If James leads the Cavs to a championship, it becomes truly epic. I've often said that James is a brand, not a person. Long-term, this could be good for his brand, but it feels like a person thing to me. If so, welcome back to humanity, Lebron.
If James is added to the Cavs' current roster and coaching staff, I certainly see tham as a contender, but not as a prohibitive favorite. That team has talent, but lacks maturity. For me, the 2014-15 East is up for grabs.
The Heat made the finals with Wade looking like an old man and Chrissy Bosh living up to his nickname. It was LeBron almost all by himself. Cleveland will at least be as good because of LeBron. My odds are that the oddsmakers probably have it right
