2014-2015 NBA off-season Lebron goes home thread.
I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

I hope someone leaks tapes of Dan Gilbert being a racist and gives Lebron a justifiable reason to leave in 2 years now.

Bennett will be good. I hope we can hold onto him. I'd love to keep Waiters too but with Wiggins he's more expendable, and probably won't stay here as a 6th man when his contract is up because he could start somewhere else.

The Cavs just need to keep Wiggins because he's probably going to be one of our best defenders already. His offense needs a little work but the talent is for sure there, and who better to mentor him than LeBron?

If you want him to stay in Cleveland probably anyone but LeChoke.

There's just too much stupid in one thread. Someone make a Cavs-only one.

An experimental physicist named Luis Alvarez was once asked about SDI. He said its advocates were a bunch of really smart guys with no common sense.
That's how I feel about Daryl Morey.

I'm encouraged to by the way Bennett played. But: a) it's exhibition games and he's playing against a lot of college players while he's 1 year in; b) a lot of his points came from wide open dunks where nobody guarded the dunk; c) he shot well under 50%. Let's be careful about what we say here. He does look a lot more fit, energetic, and most importantly confident. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Joe harris turns out to be a nobody even though I like the pick. Let's not get too hung up on players who have a shitload to prove. |

The big problem is at 4 and 5 where the bigs (Thompson, Varejao, Haywood) are not great outside shooters. My issue was and always has been... that same question you ask about 3-point shooting can also be asked about defense. If the Cavs trade Wiggins for Love, they're probably featuring a starting lineup where you have a good enough defender at Center, an elite defender in Lebron, and 3 guys who are terrible at defense. |

After LeBron left Cleveland, the remaining Cavs players' true shooting percentages dropped by 6.5% the next year. The players who were on the Heat the previous year saw a cumulative TS % increase of 3.1%.
The players will shoot better next year merely due to the fact that they are getting better shots, but there certainly aren't any deadeye bombers like Kyle Korver.
