of course i would want him back.All this to cover up the Cavs current situation?
You'd be lying to yourself if you said you didn't want James back for 1-2 more seasons.
but a few things make me feel better in my moping
1. he won a championship this time in Cleveland- and won it in grand fashion, breaking the Cleveland Curse and pulling off the Greatest Comeback in NBA History.
2. he wont win dick with the Lakers this year- might not get out of the first round and in all likelihood wont make it out of the 2nd round
3. hes 34 in December and has more miles on him than any player that has ever played the game at his age. Having said that- he is a freak that cant be judged on the same scale as others- and thats why i think he will still be the best player in the world for the next 1-2 years even though the following season will be his age 35 season- which is absurd to be the best player in the world at that age- but as he is a freak i still think he has that chance to be the best player for 2 more years.
4. He spent 11 years in Cleveland total. He will go into the Hall of Fame as a Cav- indisputably.
5. The Warriors
6. When he signed with the Heat he signed with 2 all stars- Wade and Bosh in their primes. When he signed with Cleveland he teamed up with Irving and Love- 2 all stars just entering their primes. In LA he signed with Rajon Rondo and KCP.
7. Next year's free agent class- if they can't get Kawhi- who do they get? I think Kyrie and Butler are teaming up. Klay MIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT stay. Cousins is coming off a torn achilees. If Kawhi goes to Philly- just who goes to LA next summer? Definitely no guarantee they get any of the big guys.
If the Lakers face the Jazz or Thunder in a playoff series I honestly think its a coin flip at best.
