wait, there's a bet going on lol

I would take this with a grain of salt though as Chris Sheridan isn't known as the most respected or credible reporter out there.

I'd stick with the following reporters:

Wojo
David Aldridge
Marc Stein
Chad Ford
Bill Simmons

Sheridan just makes hyperbolic statements to get traffic to his site.  I hope this happens, but "90%" is a nonsense number.

So, if he goes back to Cleveland, what will you say about him then.  Just another knock on a source, a source who's probably more connected than almost any one here.

I first wanted lebron to sign back with the cavs, but with them having a really good chance of trading for love then i don't want him going back

If we are completely out of the running for love then i don't care

We've had this argument before.  Just because a prediction comes true doesn't mean the guy is connected.

I mean, I think Lebron will return to Cleveland, too.  If I make up a number like "98.6%", does that make me credible if Lebron signs there?

I reiterate, 90% is a meaningless number.

If that happens, I really hope they decide to target Melo in a sign-and-trade instead of trading Wiggins for Love.  If I'm Phil and it looks like Melo is leaving for nothing (to Houston, chicago, etc), I take Bennett, Waitors and Thompson for Melo in a heartbeat.

Not to mention dudes website looks like my 11 year old cousin made it. Doesn't that other guy contribute to the site too mark heigler or hessler or something that just makes stuff up?

I've heard a couple times that Cleveland wants to keep Wiggins if they bring Lebron in. It would make sense to have Wiggins play guard and all he has to worry about is D. He'll be an upgrade over Wade with in a year if Wade continues to fall apart. Lebron could play PF and Melo at SF.

Thats a lot of Scoring with Irving,Melo,Lebron. And Wiggins could be no slouch either.

I could see Lebron wanting Wiggins to groom into minni Lebron. Plus when Lebron is starting to digress, Wiggins will be in his prime. Actually a smart move....Which might mean they will go for Love.

Hmmm.  And I've been convinced he's returning to Miami every step of the way.  Just hurry up and re-sign there already so I can go back to my regularly scheduled Heat hating.

The more info is revealed, the more I'm starting to doubt that Lebron will go back to Miami. They're filled with so much uncertainty and the unimpressive signings aren't helping their cause. I'm not sure he goes to the Cavs either, they're not very deep right now.

Haha TP.  I know nothing about programming and web design myself, but I must admit that the site looks like a glammed up version of a Google+ account.

I have to say he makes a lot of sense in his article and his q&a on twitter. Not sure if it's 90 percent but he makes a strong case for him leaning towards Cleveland.

Supposedly the wife and family are forcing his hand.
