Cleveland is putting a ton of pressure on Lebron. Right or wrong, he's going to look like a bad guy now if he doesn't sign with them.


Would LBJ staying in Miami crush them more than "The Decision." I think it would be close.

Uh no. LeBron could be contending in the East with most teams in that conference. Miami is still easily one of them.


If he returns to Miami with Bosh and Wade, they will be absolutely maxed out, cap-wise, for the next 4 years. They will continue getting older and older while bringing in more old ring chasers. There is nowhere to go but down in Miami imo.

While at this point it would suck, having Kyrie and Wiggins make it a little more tolerable.

Jarrett Jack showed that he could dribble the ball into the ground for 20 seconds.


At times he was absolutely awful about that in New Orleans. I can remember multiple occasions where he was still dribbling without any indication of doing anything else when the shot clock expired. It was absolutely maddening to watch as a fan.

Called it.

If we are going to lose Mike Miller that is much more acceptable than him heading to Houston or OKC.

You're right, we've seen him make a team with Mo Williams as his second best player contend. It isn't about contending. Does LeBron have a better chance of winning multiple championships moving forward with Kyrie and Wiggins, or Wade and Bosh?

If LeBron goes to Cleveland, can they afford Ray Allen and Mike Miller? Or is it one or the other?

I don't think it close. I think a lot of Cavs fans like the young talent on the roster and actually believe in Griffin. Plus, they have the room for another huge contract next summer. I think they are 3-4 years away from being a serious threat in the East without LeBron.

They'd only try to sign one or the other.

I think they'd have around 4mil in cap space.

If they are somehow both willing to accept vet minimum Cavs can sign both.

Ray would probably go for a vet minimum. Don't know if Miller would give that discount

Ray Allen would supposedly be a minimum deal, so nothing would stop it. Not sure how much Miller would take, but they'll have a little bit of cap space, a trade exception, and the cap space exception to work with before counting on minimum contracts.

Miller isn't. He feels like he has too much left in the tank after playing 90 games this past season.
