:lol: :smh:

I was reading Ennis post game remarks and he said he see's himself like a Jimmy Butler on defense. If he can match a Jimmy Butler or Kawi Leonard on defense, the sky's the limit for this young man.
 
How LeBron James' agent has given Cavaliers hope of King's homecoming


At the urging of LeBron James' agent, the Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing a maximum contract salary slot to bring back the free-agent superstar, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Rich Paul, the president of Klutch Sports, has been funneling belief into the organization that the Cavaliers are in strong position to lure James from the Miami Heat, sources told Yahoo Sports.

For years, Paul has confided to people that bringing back James to Cleveland has been something of a mission for him, and he's encouraging Cavaliers officials to offer no restraint in the recruitment of James, sources said.

The Phoenix Suns remain determined to make a case to James, offering an excellent core of young players, a chance to bring a second max star with him, but everyone's at the mercy of Paul's agenda now. He's running James' free agency, and getting through to James won't happen without his childhood pal-turned-agent.

Paul will be joining James for a sit-down meeting with Miami president Pat Riley early this week, when there could come more clarity on James' future with the Heat. Riley has been recruiting free agents to join Miami, but has been limited in salary cap space to make competitive offers and limited in the ability to promise players they'll get to play with James.

"LeBron is the ultimate recruiter, but he hasn't been any part of this process," a league source tied to the Heat's recruiting efforts told Yahoo Sports. "The first question they all ask is the same: 'Do I get to hear from LeBron? What's he going to do?' "
The fact James hasn't been contributing to the Heat's pursuit of a supporting cast has troubled some and left them wondering: Just how committed is James to re-joining Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade with the Heat?

For the Cavaliers, the shedding of contracts to create salary-cap space isn't a tremendous risk. For James, a four-time MVP and two-time NBA champion, the stakes are far higher. If Paul gets up the hopes of the franchise and Northeast Ohio without delivering James' return, Paul risks playing a part in turning James into a villain all over again.

Nevertheless, the Cavaliers have little choice but to dutifully make the moves necessary to make James an offer. The biggest obstacle remains unloading the contract of Jarrett Jack. The Cavaliers have found a landing spot for Jack and his $6.2 million annual salary in the Brooklyn Nets, but only if the Cavs can find a third team to take on Brooklyn's Marcus Thornton, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Cleveland is offering Thornton and future draft considerations as incentive to absorb his $8.7 million expiring contract, sources said. The Cavaliers need to unload more contracts and have made 2013 first-round pick Sergey Karasev, among others, available in deals, sources said.

The Cavaliers have a young core of Kyrie Irving and No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, whom general manager David Griffin has gone out of his way to call a shooting guard – clearing the way for James to take over small forward. For Paul, the return of James would give the agent immense leverage in rookie contract extension talks for forward Tristan Thompson. The Cavaliers could have no choice but to pay Thompson – a serviceable young forward – far above market price as a giveback for Paul's part in James' potential return to the Cavaliers.

Cleveland will work to sign James, but, failing that, they'll try to divide the cap space among second-tier free agents – including candidates Channing Frye and Trevor Ariza – whom they believe can help get them to the playoffs, sources said.

Another Cavaliers option remains signing Utah restricted free agent Gordon Hayward to an offer sheet, although the organization expects it would offer him less than a max contract, sources said. Nevertheless, the Jazz plan to match a Cavs offer and keep him, sources said.

For now, the Cavaliers await the next directive out of Rich Paul, and perhaps will soon find out where an agent's agenda meets a superstar's intent.

That mo%$^#%%^*&^% better not show his face in Dade
 
This doesn't come as a surprise to me. Lebron is surrounded by Cleveland natives that are probably Cavs fans. Of course they'd push for him to go back home.
 
Woj makes an argument because that's what he's paid to do lol; and does it rather well quite frankly. The Heat organization along with the marquee players (Big 3) have done a masterful job at maintaining their resolve and silence throughout this entire process. What we fans and loyalists can be comforted by nonetheless, is that Pat Riley and the front office will put this team in the best position to compete regardless of who is ordained the privilege of wearing that jersey.
 
Pretty much, that's why we need to get this over with to see what's the next move.

And people are still panicking, lol.

This guy Wojnoriski has a huge bias when it comes to Cleveland. He's been "leaking" this LeBron back to Cleveland hard the last few years. Every time there is some negativity with the Heat, good ol' Woj always delivers with the back to Cleveland nonsense.


I take everything he says with a grain of cocaine. This free agency literally has me :rofl:

Woj is probably the most credible journalist who reports on the NBA. This isn't Broussard


And obviously there was some truth to Lebron considering going back to Cleveland, if anything you're proving that he was ahead of the curve in reporting it

Credible yes, but when it comes to Cleveland and LeBron he's biased.

It's no mystery that the guy has built his whole career on LeBron and benefits greatly if LeBron goes back to Cleveland. He obviously has an agenda just like the rest of the pundits on ESPN.

As for him being ahead on the curve... that's only substantiated if he actually goes. All of these rumors are pure conjecture at this point. Believe nothing until someone signs.
 
Woj built his career on Bron? I think you're thinking of Windhorst, Mr. Biggie Bigs.
 
Im honestly tired of all this talk. The main people the entire league is concerned with havent said a single word to anyone. ANYONE. but yet all the sportscasters and analysts know EVERYTHING. from "sources." These are the same analysts who get every other prediction wrong during the year. I wish everybody would just shut up and wait like the big 3 are making them do anyways. People talking just to talk. Saying stuff like Dan Gilbert on the way to miami and he tweets hes laying in his backyard. Like, the lies are out of hand. Journalists are saying anything to get attention. This stuff has to stop
 
Heat just signed Josh McRoberts. 4-year $23 million. YESSSS!!!

Another guy LeBron was pushing for, lol :rofl:
