Cavs: Sheridan: James is returning to Cleveland

[Thread]

better than the last one, that's for sure.

Yep, She almost closed this place after 6. You guys were lower than skunk . , I felt genuinely sorry for ya's. You were a pitiful bunch.

Now, though, look at ya's. Proud & good. You all look like you're ready to go downtown and have your picture taken, maybe a store bought haircut.

I know most of SpursTalk wouldn't understand, but for a Black man to be treated the way Lebron was treated by Dan Gilbert is unforgivable, tbh..all the progress we have made, only for an owner of a team to react like an angry slave master after Lebron exercised his right to choose another team as a Free Agent at the end of his contract..disgraceful..

A coon like Kobe or Dad Killer or Tom Rivers would love to play for Massa Gilbert, but not Lebron..no ing chance..let alone the racist fans that showered him with slurs while he lost to Boston while carrying his 1-man team in 2010..

The jews were indeed the perpetrators of black slavery, so you're on to something there tbh

If Lebron leaves that'd be pretty shocking tbh. My guess would be that if he signs with miami, he signs a 3-yr max deal with with an opt-out option after the second year. Gives him a max contract with some options so he's not deadlocked. If it's the Cavs, it's the full 4-year max.

These LeBron stans can't even admit how terribly he's handling this, again. Watch him announce right on the tarmac before he heads to Brazil.

It could be worse, he could take up two entire seasons and three offseasons with his free-agency drama like a certain Rockets center....

No Bosh for you

He could have done a TV special but he didn't.

Bosh isn't leaving anyway.

No, he just did this instead:

No, he just did this instead:

Is that an hour long tv special? Doesn't look like.

An hour-long special > three years of constant drama and being unable to make up your mind

What the does Howard have to do with this Him being a doesn't make Lebron look better

[Clipper Nation]

What the does Howard have to do with this

Nothing really, it's just hilarious to see Rocketfan get all salty and emotional over one week of fake drama when his team benefitted from Bible Kemp's three-year meltdown

Letter still an issue for LeBron
Updated: July 11, 2014, 8:06 AM ET
By Chris Broussard | ESPN The Magazine


One reason, if not the major reason, that LeBron James has taken so long to decide whether to play in Miami or Cleveland next season is the infamous letter Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert penned about James after the superstar left Cleveland in 2010, sources said.

In the letter, written in Comic Sans font, Gilbert called James a "coward" and mocked the many nicknames and catchphrases attached to James, such as "King James," "The Chosen One" and "Witness."

The letter remained on the Cavs' website for the past four years until the team removed it earlier this week.

While James recognizes that informing Cavs fans and Gilbert, who was told of James' decision to leave Cleveland in a telephone call five minutes before it was announced, on national television was a mistake, he is still wrestling with whether or not to return to play for Gilbert's team.

"If it wasn't for that letter, this would've been done awhile ago," one source said.

While there have been rumblings about Gilbert and James clearing up their differences in the past, no such discussion or meeting has ever been confirmed. What is known is that Gilbert has never issued a public apology to James.

Sources close to James said Thursday that the four-time MVP wanted to speak with his family before making his decision. Many around the NBA have wondered what there was left to talk about, but James' concerns about the Gilbert letter is a plausible explanation.

While league executives wait for James to make his announcement, many refuse to believe he'll return to Cleveland to play for Gilbert. Some even believe it would be hypocritical after how powerfully James spoke out against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling after racist comments by Sterling were made public in May.

James was the first player to speak out against Sterling, saying he had no place in the NBA.

"He condemned Sterling but he's going back to the [expletive] who nearly called him an uppity [expletive]," one league executive said. "Hypocrite."

So LeBron actually was playing Gilbert the entire time. Ouch.

It's Broussard, so the world's biggest grain of salt is needed..... but damn, if true, Harlem's sources were right

Even then, Dwight never had this type of drama LeBron brought on himself. And you're so deep on LeBron's you can't see he's holding FA's like Ariza from signing with your team.

[~O~]

No, he just did this instead:

I'm so glad he's gone. Just wish Van Gundy stayed.
