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

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

#paradesover


So exactly when will LeBron opt out & leave Cleveland again? Didn't you say he would leave after last season & once this season ended? Come on...look into your crystal ball & tell us all how wrong you really are.

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.

I think the pressure is still on GS next year, which is crazy but true, especially if they get a big free agent. They are already the favorite so I don't think Lebron has to get one next year but obviously he is trying to win it every year doesn't mean he will leave the Cavs if they don't win one next year.

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.


Now you are the one speculating what shape other players might be in.

FACT is, James said he had other dreams and aspirations to accomplish in his NBA career.

#1 was winning in Cleveland which is now already accomplished.

He and Nike will weigh all options every summer moving forward.

If you win again this year, nothing to worry about.
If not, watch out.

Well the Cavs didn't win it all last year & LeBron didn't opt out. But don't let that fact get in the way of your ramblings. You're convinced he's gonna leave again yet you've been wrong 2 years in a row. Keep up the good work!

No and No.
He couldn't leave after just 1 season there, and I said no way he leaves the summer after he wins.

Your nonstop & daily obsession w/ all things LeBron is hilarious, no creepy. He's gonna do this...he's gonna do that. All ya got is speculation & hope that he leaves again. Which means we all gotta listen to your bullshit until the end of next year about him leaving. Give it a rest.

Obviously it isn't 100% or whatever % he will leave, but next summer seems like a likely time if they lose being that it will be the year the super max is signed IMO.

after every season he says the same tired bullshit...he will do the same next season too- and the one after that....and probably the one after that...and be wrong, time and time again.

team cancer. Cant win a title with him. Nick Young and Dion Waiters are better than JR.

Exactly. Just let him blather on & on though, it's good entertainment.

I've always said the likelihood of him leaving goes UP once they win a title. I don't think he would've ever left if they never won.

That said.... I don't see it happening anytime soon. As long as the Cavs continue to be at the top of the East... I think its more likely that people join LeBron in CLE than him joining people elsewhere.

This is a very, very relevant point. Wade, who knows if he's even got more than a season left? I thought there was a real chance he'd hang them up this summer, but it doesn't appear that'll be the case. He is, however, well past his prime.

CP3 is going to be a Clipper until he's at least 34, and by then he'll probably be done given his injury history. Maybe Lebron decides he wants to be a Clipper? It would be a funny story, but I doubt it. Paul's knee is shot and now his hand is messed up.

Why would Lebron want to waste his time playing with these broken down vets? This it the NBA, not Last Vegas. He's not going to win a title. He can very, very clearly win titles with the core of KI, Love and TT. It's really just spiteful irritation coming from Turnup.

That part of LeBron's speech was so dope...

"JR Smith. He's a cancer. He can't win. He takes bad shots. Not a team player. I know you've all heard those weak-ass stories. Not only is he a helluva 3 point shooter. He's a helluva defender. A true 2-way player. And guess what? JR Smith is a champion!"

Jr really did work hard on his defense and did emerge as a good two way player.

I wonder how much Rich Paul hits Gilbert up for to extend Smith, lol.......get out that check book Dan! Good thing you have the biggest one in the league.

and how about Lue? supposedly he never signed a new contract to be head coach--- what a gamble if he did bet on himself...hes gonna get PAID too.
