I love it, I live in Ohio and I will be able to give a ton of crap to the Cavs fans!   Who-hoo!  Be glad to see LeBron leave the state!

Cavs fans freaking out over this

That reminds me of the talk two summers ago, when somebody spread a rumor that Durant had been seen at Logan.

I think Lebron is as good as gone. Realistically what moves can the cavs make to improve their team? The only assets they have were the draft pick and Kevin love...

and if you trade love it kind of defeats the purpose.

Lebron likely goes to LA and brings his superfriends like Paul george with him. these guys talk to eachother. im sure everything is all ready to go.

I'm not sure the Cavs fans are "freaking out".  Maybe some but not most.  From what I read from them, they're almost resolved to believe he's gone and have accepted it.  And, for the most part, they're thankful for that 1 championship year.

Just sign with LA. The sooner the Lavar Ball/Lebron drama begins the more entertained I am going to get. Can already hear Lavar wax on for hours about how the King decided to come play with the Big Baller Brand and all the Balls. This is going to be so so much fun.

It will be 100x better if Cousins goes there too hahahaha. OMG no championship but plenty of drama!!

Lebrn is just waiting to see what Spurs do with Kawhi

Per chance Spurs send Kawhi to EC

Lebron will stll hesitate I think till George decides what to do.

Im not sure Lebron will necessarily go to LA without Leonard or George being there.

I've been reading the media wishing Lebron to LA the last few weeks, but I don't see it unless they get another major star there. James isn't going to wait for that franchise to win again. He is 34 and wants to win NOW. Money and Hollywood aren't factors. He makes far more money outside of basketball with all his endorsements, etc. As for the Sixers, Simmons conflicts with James, and that remains a problem. More likely, they trade for Leonard or somehow sign George.

I still think the Cavs have the best shot at retaining him--if they can improve their team. There is a home town bias , and the Cavs should be exploiting it--by working out sign and trades with teams like the Clippers for Jordan, for example, or Leonard. They need a kicker to give the guy some assurance they can contend again.

Who would want that trash on that roster?  Aside from Love and LeBron I don't see a tons of guys that will draw interest.

I find it remarkable that the Cavs are already over the cap even without James on the team. That's horrible.

Think the relationship between him and Gilbert is so toxic James has to go. Plus they have little or no chance to improve that roster. They said today love isn’t going to be moved and he is your only asset.

This move is about life after basketball for James. Los Angeles is the place he wants to be for that

Interesting if Denver can get in the mix. Haven't quite worked out what the trade would have to look like in order for Cleveland to stay out of the tax but presumably it would centre on MPJ going to Cleveland along with some picks and a combination of Plumlee, Faried, Chandler and Arthur. Cleveland may be able to shed a contract (TT?) as well if Denver can stomach it.

James twisted their arm to sign on all those guys to deals that are WAY over priced.
