stephen a smith claims Lebron may leave Cleveland after this season

[celticsclay]

It is a super slow news day so figured I might as well throw it out for discussion. Seems really far fetched to me.

Seems far-fetched to me as well. It would have catastrophic effects on his reputation, legacy, and probably business interests. Going back to Cleveland was an easy sell--going home. I don't know how he'd be able to maintain his level of popularity and whatnot. Also, is there really a better scenario than Cleveland out there? If they need to make radical changes, they can move Love.

my fear is that they move love for cousins


Although they may implode if that happens

I can't see him leaving... But stranger things have happened


If he goes west he'll never make it to the finals.. Unless..

He joins the spurs or warriors


In the east i don't see a better place for him. Maybe back to miami?


He's probably staying put.

Screamin A needs some attention

[Denis998]

just posturing to get even more control of the team

where is the popcorn with extra butter?

Miami is definitely not better IMO. Bosh is a serious long term question mark, Wade is over the hill, Dragic is good (but aging), Whiteside is gone, and they have no draft picks. Winslow is their only tradable asset.

[GreenFaith1819]

NEENEN.

Never ever ever never ever never.

It's more likely that KLove or Kyrie will leave or get traded.

lol at Stephen A. Smith's bs. I don't know who cares what that guy says.

[chambers]

I'm with you. Very far fetched for him to leave not once but twice. He's won championships already-all that matters now is that he gets one for Cleveland.

This is just more hype/traffic/click bait for these espn idiots.

[MJohnnyboy]

It would be hilarious but I doubt it would happen.

That being said, I definitely see changes in Cleveland if they don't win it all, and I'm pretty sure the latter is going to happen.

[Tr1boy]

Lebron and family would be banned from Cleveland for life!

Lebron Jerseys put in fire like the last time

wouldn't be surprised if Lebron would do this

He prob team up with Durant.  Can you guys imagine?

[Who]

LeBron should go to NYC like he should have in 2010.

[Who]

I expect LeBron to leave Cleveland again but I think this summer is too soon.

I think it'll be further down the road. When he becomes disillusioned with life there. With his sidekicks Kyrie & K-Love.

For now, I think he is too committed and too close to bringing a Championship to Cleveland.

[trickybilly]

NEENEN.

Never ever ever never ever never.

Who would they be better off moving do you think? And who do you think LeBron would prefer be moved for anyone with better defensive attributes?
