    Is LBJ going to be able to run up and down the court at his age and the number of miles on legs? In order to take advantage of the transaction potential with Lonzo he's going to need to be able to run a lot.

    I think his game will age decently as long as there's other wings to take on some of the load. Honestly, LeBron would look fantastic in a ball-movement offense. He's a great passer, good rebounder, and can break down defenses. The thing that would concern me about LeBron is his shooting. He's an average and streaky shooter from outside. You put him next to George and LeBron doesn't have to be an ace defender OR take the bulk of creating duties? He'll last for a few more years that way.

    The Lebron brings misery and cronyism with him. In the harsh lands of the west there is a lot of suffering awaiting you.

    LBJ is one of the most well conditioned athletes ever. He turns 33 in December. I see him still having another 2-3 prime yrs left and then the decline. But even then I expect him to still get 20/6/6

    I hope ESPN loses so many viewers that it will be impossible for him to do that. I hope he willl be forced to deal with a different media landscape.

    I think LeBron is doing this on purpose to tell Dan Gilbert "get me more talent or I'm outta here" antics. This guy is a drama queen, he has some of the best players at 2 positions in Kyrie and Love (who btw is always used as a scapegoat) who is always the blame when s*** goes wrong. It's LeGM who chose who he wanted on the team with the Cavs. I rather roll the dice with PG and DeMarcus than queen latefa James, if he joins the Lakers he's going to force Magic and Rob to trade our young talent for players he wants. Wiggins would have been perfect and they could have had cap space to sign another Superstar since Wiggins had that rookie contract back then. PG and DeMarcus please.

    I think Lebron genuinely dislikes Gilbert, and the only reason he even entertains staying with that BS is because its his home city and fans.

    And they're good. Don't forget that. If Kyrie and Love/Wiggins weren't there, LeBron wasn't going back.

    Were there rumors during the 13-14 season Lebron was going back to Cleveland or did it happen quickly in FA without insiders in the know for some time ?
