Lebron would consider leaving Cleveland

[LarBrd33]

LeBron is not leaving Cleveland after one year.  The damage to his public image would be worse than anything short of being caught with the proverbial dead girl or live boy.  Love, on the other hand, could jump ship faster than any rat.  He just turned 26 in September and does not strike me as the sort of beta-male who will happy playing the Chris-Bosh-in-Miami role.

Probably something like...

0.1% chance LeBron leaves
2% chance Love leaves.

Sounds like media speculation.

I think its leaks from his "camp" to keep Cleveland mindful of his leverage.

Exactly!

Lebron cannot dare leave Cleveland again.  The backlash he would face would make it impossible for him to ever return to the state of Ohio.

Sure, he'll threaten it to Cavs management, to keep them on the ball, but it's a empty threat.

Yep.  Only way he can leave is after they have won at least one title (or he just retires).

I estimate that the probability that Love leaves Cleveland for the Lakers is approximately equal to the probability that Love would have left the Celtics for the Lakers as a free agent had he been traded to Boston.

Well, guess who would have the cap space if he did walk.

DON'T YOU DARE

Seriously now, I don't see LBJ walking out anytime soon.
He is running the show, he is everyone's hero in Cleveland, this is now his team and he being the Primadonna  he is, is very unlikely to give up all of this.
The person I am seriously worried about is Blatt. He hasn't produced any results so far and LeBron doesn't seem to think much of him.

As usual, spot on

If he does do you really think he would come here?   Where fans have been so nice to him and reminded him of his mother and Delonte during the games?   I don't see it happening.

They'd accept their Bronnie back time and time again

Sure, because Durant is coming too with the 2016 FA.

[dreamgreen]

Oh god, i hope he does leave again his legacy would be smoked, he would burn for it, and people in Cleveland would burn his house down this time!! bahahahaha omg I'd be so happy!!!!!

Yes, see message below.

[GreenWarrior]

this dude is trash. "if my hand is forced". how about making your team better instead of just  conspiring with other all star's to win(so you don't look like a Barkley or Malone)?

i'd have a hard time cheering him if he did come here. i'd be even more critical of him.

I agree on Lebron but I'd put the chances of Love leaving at 20-30% right now.  He has no investment in Cleveland and he is a west coast guy.  After coming up empty last off season, the Lakers need to make a splash and there is a good chance Love will be it.

Didn't Jordan say the same thing after retiring for the second time, lol?
