Woj on Lebron: Cavs are unsure if he will stay

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

LBJ love is clouding Roy and LBJ's mind! Just because you want something to happen doesn't mean it will! If you think adding Delly only changes scenarios in the way you want it to then, hello God, why aren't you helping the Celtics? What if having Delly made a change for the worse and they just get blown out in those 2 games? You can't compare last season to this because GSW are different, just maybe Curry destroys him because he practiced to beat the tricks Delly used to somewhat contain him last time (you know the time they were down 3-1 before DG lost his mind).

Perhaps it's just me, but the only way that I think Lebron could leave Cleveland again, and ever step foot back in the city for the rest of his life, is if he proves that Gilbert is "forcing" him to leave, by not surrounding him with the players necessary to win championships for the city.

I agree with the concept that says IF Gilbert promised to do whatever it takes and bring in whatever players were necessary to give them the best opportunity to win a championship...and then doesn't do that...then Lebron is vindicated if he leaves. 

LBJ has obviously given his all since his return, resulting in one championship.  If next year comes and goes without roster improvement, I can see him giving signs that he was considering new scenery in free agency.  It's all in Gilbert's hands...and frankly, I'm not going to cry over a wealthy man having to pay a tax to put the best team together for another run at a championship.

I mean how could it be framed that he did just about everything, but not quite enough? The average fan is not going to have a ton of sympathy for a guy crying poor on a team with the highest payroll in the history of the NBA. That all being said i don't think anyone outside of Cleveland cares if lebron leaves. This is the era of super friends and super teams and Lebron riding a banana boat intot he sunset with chris paul and carmelo anthony and dwayne wade is practically expected at this point.

Do we have the assets to trade for LeBron? 😋

BKN picks tops anything other teams have but Lebron is on the wrong side of 30's and I'd be wary of what to throw for him.

Hes a free agent I think , we don't need to trade for him. We need to trade for players he wants to play with

I don't trust Woj regarding anything related to Lebron. He's been stirring the pot for years.

You should though, we all should. Woj usually nails it, even with LeBron. Like when Woj told us in 2012 that James was going to return to Cleveland in 2014.

That report came a month after other people reported it, at least. The entire NBA was talking about Lebron potentially joining Cleveland again.
