Mad props and respect to my favorite non-celtic player in the league.  Right decision by the greatest basketball player of our era.  Now I can root for my boy again (not against the Celtics of course).

With this decision, to show how much he cares about the fans, LeBron is personally buying everybody a free small slurpee today at 7-11.

So go down to 7-11 and get yours courtesy of LeBron.

(Seriously though, free small slurpees today at 7-11).

After reading his essay on SI, I've gained a tremendous amount of respect for LeBron.

You should have respect for his PR person.
I was thinking that, but I still like the whole deal and am happy with it.

One of the first times I was reasonably pleased with Bron and felt he did the "right" thing.

HOT SPORTS TAKE: Should LeBron be wearing a Miami championship ring in the picture with his announcement?  Is he shoving it in the faces of Cleveland fans and insulting the city?  I'm asking questions!

"POSE WITH YOUR RINGS ALL YOU WANT LEBRON, YOU'LL NEVER WIN ANOTHER RING IN MIAMI!"

*learns that he's going back to Cleveland*

"He's such a gentleman. So measured. So temparate. Good for James, good for Cleveland, and good for the NBA."

FUN FACT!

Cleveland owns Miami's first round pick next year... from the Lebron trade!


Nevermind.  Didnt realize it was protected.  Miami is going to suck, so it probably will be a top 10 pick.

The most interesting thing I see in Lebron's "Coming Home" letter is that there is NO mention of Andrew Wiggins...

Foreshadowing?

They will either make him a running mate or trade him for Love.

Source close to situation says Kevin Love indeed "intrigued" by idea of being dealt to Cavs and would commit long there if traded there

Of course he's intrigued...get's to play in the weak East, with the best player in basketball, and his stats will look great.

I haven't read the letter, but apparently it mentions Dion Waiters.  It's possible Cleveland's roster problems from the first Lebron era stemmed in part from allowing Lebron to have input on roster moves.  He's reportedly the guy who wanted to bring in Mo Williams, Larry Hughes, and Antawn Jamison while allegedly vetoing a deal for Amare Stoudemire because he didn't want to part with JJ Hickson.  (Other reports suggest that Phoenix wanted Cleveland to waive a physical for Amare.)

Hoopshype has multiple rumors saying that Wiggins' camp expects him to be in Cleveland this year, although that isn't a lock by any means.  Still, better than nothing for now
