Exactly. They need a DeAndre Jordan -Tim Drummond type guy. I heard this morning from Chris Broussard that Durant wants to come to the Dubs though.
Neil Young's bassist? I think he's dead.

“That’s what the Big 3 came together for – that moment right there,” said James, who added he has watched Game 7 twice.

The Block. The Dagger. The Stop.

its pretty awesome that the Big 3--- that SO many people questioned- whether they could work together- whether they could win etc....that during the last 2 minutes of Game 7 of the NBA Finals that each guy came up with HUGE plays.

As you said--- LeBron and The Block on Iggy. Ridiculous. The sports science on that is almost beyond belief. Then the Shot/Dagger by Kyrie- 55 seconds left- league MVP covering him- tie game- on the road Game 7- MONEY- then of course Kevin Love dancing in front of Curry- making Curry give up the ball- Curry gets it back, and Love somehow stays in front of him on the 3 pt line and makes the defensive play of his career.

Without those 3 plays- who knows how it ends. The Big 3 came up HUUUUGE right when they were most needed. The mental toughness the Cavs displayed was their biggest asset in my mind. The Warriors just did not show the mental toughness the Cavs did during this series.

LeBron: Love Cleveland, don't plan to leave


If the over under of LeBron's future titles was 1.5....i think i would have to pick the over.....I think he should get AT LEAST 1 more and likely 2 more before all is said and done.






Asked by interviewer Steve Smith if he can picture himself being anywhere else, James did not seem to hesitate before answering.
"At this point, I can't," James said. "At this point, I can't.


LeBron always leaves the door open.
He said even before he won that he would at some point play for less if it meant he could play with some of his buddies.
Unless the Cavs are going for a 3peat, I say enjoy what is probably your last season of James...

And then, if that happens, Kyrie is next as soon as he can....

3 titles for LeBRon now. What a huge win for him. Everything was at stake- his best player in the world title- his decision to Come Home.

If LeBron and the Cavs lost the pressure would have increased 20 fold. Now- this team can coast through the regular season with absolutely no pressure what so ever--- use the regular season to prepare themselves for the Finals once again- and make another run at it.

If I had a gun to my head i would guess that LeBron James retires with 5 titles. We shall see.

With Kyrie Irving not even in his prime- i certianly dont see too many guys in the NBA that James would want to hitch his wagon too.

Nope.
They won fair and square.
Congrats to those who suffered so long.

However, that has nothing to do with the current conversation.

#paradesover

if you are LeBron- and were looking around the league- honestly- how many guys would be better to hitch your wagon to than 24 year old Kyrie Irving?

Durant is one. Anthony Davis probably two-- Curry 3 probably- these are just totally unrealistic though.

not only that- but we already know Kyrie is not afraid of the moment and can come up huge in the postseason. When you have already hit the Game Winning 3 in game 7 on the road against the reigning MVP playing for a city with a 52 year drought- no pressure will EVER come to that level again in your career.

He had ice water in his veins and this kid is only gonna get better and continue to ascend the hierarchy of the NBA's best players.

I answered it.
You just didn't like the answer which IMO is if he doesn't gets to 2 with the Cavs next year, there is no reason for him to remain there since he has said he has other NBA aspirationsand he's not getting any younger.

did u see the parade yesterday?

1.3 million reasons to stay. This is not Miami with fair weather fickle fans. Like LeBron said- Miami was like college to him. Cleveland is home. He is not going anywhere. If the only way you can feel better about LeBron making you look like a total fool is to try and bring up speculation where he plays years from now- that is pretty sad and pathetic.

he cant find what he got yesterday anywhere else in the world and i think he knows it.

Was Kyrie on his list of true friends in the NBA that he said he wanted to play with, even at a discounted price?
You keep forgetting, James makes Kyrie, not the other way around.

apparently you did not watch the NBA Finals....at least not games 5-7, LOL.

LeBron has never gotten more help to the mountain top in his entire career- and the kid is only 24. The SKY is the limit. Kyrie is going to be a menace next year.

you will be watching the 1-3 pick and roll of LeBron and Kyrie destroy the Eastern Conference for YEARS to come. you are gonna have to learn to deal with it.

I gotta put Kyrie top 15 after this playoff performance. I dont think he is quite top 10 yet until he continues to get better defensively- but top 15 is very very reasonable i think.

No one knows where Lebron's head is at or where he'll be a year from now or two years from now. His statements regarding the "Brotherhood" should be looked at. If he could play with his crew should the opportunity arise - it's worth being concerned. CP3's a free agent next offseason and Wade's likely signing a 1-year deal (partly due to the salary cap rise in '17).

Also, I told you previously that the 2013 parade had traffic backed up on I-95 an entire county. Fair to say that Miami had a pretty big turn out at our parade as well.

Whatever you think drama queen.

You don't want me to speculate yet you ask how many more titles he wins there?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME^^^^ And you're an attorney???

You are arguing your opinion vs fact though.
Has James EVER, including yesterday, said he would retire a Cav?
Has James factually said he would play at a discount to play with his friends?

He lived up to his promise to do his best to bring a title to the area.
He got it.
James lives year to year.
If you win again this year, nothing to worry about.
If not, watch out.

are those "brotherhood" guys gonna be any good 2-3 years from now?

Lets just play with this hypothetical though i dont think their is much realistic shot at it---

MINIMUM at absolute 100% minimum their is simply no way LeBron is not in Cleveland AT LEAST 2 more years.

what shape will Melo, Wade, CP3 be after 2 more years?

if the Clippers REALLY wanted to push the issue- they could trade Griffin for Anthony- throw a bunch of money at Wade- and tell LeBron- hey- we alrady have 3..come here---- but LeBron is not going anyhwere for at least 2 years.

Wade, Anthony and CP all have some kind if injury history- CP and Wade fairly significant injury histories- especially with their knees...I dont even think that team could compete for a title 3 years from now unless LeBron is still freaking the King of the league...by that time Kyrie will be in the apex of his prime and those guys will be well well past theirs...i dont see lebron hurting his title chances like that WHILE leaving agian.
