LeBron has already said he doesn't need to have a sit down with Riley, he just needs him to upgrade the roster.

Kevin Love has also said he would only sign an extension(if traded to Cleveland) if LeBron was there.

That's true... but all the losses that were so epic they got one word descriptions all happened against Cleveland. The drive, the fumble, the shot... only one play in the history of sports will get those terms, and they all happened against Cleveland. That's amazing.

And that doesn't even include that they were one out from winning a World Series and blew it. I don't know how anyone in Cleveland still watches sports.

Im not sure if I believe the Kevin Love stuff. If Love hates Minneapolis (which is a beautiful city BTW), whats he gonna think of Cleveland?

BUT, if it is true, I dont see why Cleveland would keep Wiggins. I love Wiggins, but Id trade his ass in a heartbeat if it meant getting LBJ and Love. Can a trade with Waiters and Wiggins to Minnesota even happen to make salaries work? Kyrie is still in his rookie contract but would likely need a big contract in a couple years, so dont know if they would even have enough money. Maybe some NBA salary cap guys could help us out

It's not like he's leaving Minneapolis because he doesn't like the city.

Cavs will have 13m in cap space after they get rid of Deng, hawes, miles. Almost certainly these will be soon and trades which gives the cavs probably more picks and players who can be easily slashed. The cavs will dump Jarrett jack and may even give up a pick to do so. That gives the cavs about 20 mil.

From there, they have a few guys like Varejao, waiters, and Thompson who would undoubtedly be unloaded if they needed room for one player and they're each good for about 6 m in space. Cavs also traded for Brendan haywood so next year, even if the cavs are above the cap, they can cut Hayward and free up 10 mil. Cavs have tremendous cap flexibility to make a move for LeBron and still add to an already pretty talented roster.

Wojnarowski is reporting that LeBron's agent is pushing to get him to go to Cleveland. He's trying to get the Cavs to clear max space. Doesn't say if LeBron actually wants to go there though. Apparently LeBron hasn't been part of the Heat's FA recruiting process at all, which worries some with the Heat.

Jarrett jack looks like he will be moved and the nets will unload Thornton to another team. So it's probably a matter of minutes or hours before we hear official word that the cavs have max cap space.

If LeBron isn't serious about Cleveland, he would be wise to let them know now, before people get emotionally into it again, or else LeBron risks the kind of fallout he had the first time.

I think that ship has already sailed.

I hope LeBron leaves Miami. Shit would be great for trolling.

This is why I don't buy people saying there is no chance he goes back to Cleveland. I think LeBron and his agent are smart enough to know the emotional hurt on Cleveland if he is just trying around. I believe Cleveland are legit contenders because if LeBron had minimal interest, he would not string Cleveland fans along like this.

I don't think he is stringing Cavs fans along I think the media is. Don't blame Lebron or his agent they haven't said shit

Kyrie and the Cavs already agreed to an extension, 5 years 90 million. To be signed July 10th.
