Doesn't make sense to me why he would call out Lebron.
He's the only one of the Big 3 who they can't replace if he left. Like I said, Riley would be smiling ear to ear if Wade opted out.

How do you propose they do that if all 3 of them opt back in to their deals? Their options are severely limited if they opt in because of the CBA and the repeater tax.

If all he cares about is money, then he should get his, but expect Lebron to bounce to a spot where winning is more important than getting yours.
He can do BOTH by joining the Cavs. Get paid AND win. Lebron Joining the Cavs would make them instant Eastern Conference contenders. He would get paid and the Cavs would still have upwards of 36 million in cap space to get a couple big free agents. Not trying to be a Cavs fan, but it makes more sense for him to rejoin the Cavs then stay in Miami...in my opinion.

Is there a team in the East that would not contend for the East with Lebron? That conference is so bad.

That's my point. Lebron re-joining the Cavs makes a lot of sense. Just look at what ive posted about the Cavs position and tell me that doesnt get Lebron's attention. He would be a fool to at least not look seriously at the Cavs.

I was talking about Wade You Cavs fans are delusional if you think Lebron is coming back after that petty-arse letter Gilbert sent out.
There are a multitude of teams that have young talent and can pay Lebron. He isn't going back to Cleveland to make that dipshit owner richer after the stunt he pulled.

Riles ain't no damn joke fellers.

And im telling you, you're delusional if you think Lebron isnt going to at least look at what Cleveland has to offer. He may very well stay in Miami, but he is going to at least look. How many of those teams have the #1 pick? How many of those teams have 36 million in cap space? How many of those teams are in his hometown? To sit here and tell me im delusional because i think the Cavs have legit case to present to Lebron...is delusional!!

Sounds like he is getting information that LeBron is seriously leaning towards leaning and he is challeging him to stay. Looks desperate for some reason.

He may look at them, but do you realize the amount of leverage Lebron James has?
He could go to a majority of the teams in the league, suggest the GM does x, y, and z, and he'll sign, and x, y, and z is happening.
If Gilbert took the high road when he left, I'd say you're right. There is no way Lebron is taking the ego hit to go back and be a subordinate of the guy who acted like Gilbert did.
You can wax poetic about the basketball situation of the Cavs, but unfortunately for the Cavs, other teams with owners who did not shite on Lebron also have attractive basketball situations.

The whole Cleveland angle is probably one of the more delusional ideas in sports recently...no way someone like LeBron goes back to Gilbert after being shite on like that. Gilbert's letter read like something an angry 19 year old girl would write after a breakup.

Just one more thing, the Cavs also have the leverage of hiring a coach that Lebron wants...that could be a key factor. Of course guys like Calipari are publicly saying they arent interested, but if Lebron spoke to Calapari and said im going to Cleveland, Calipari would be on the first plane smoking. Just one more thing that the Cavs have the no other potential landing spot does.
