Report: Lebron going back to Cleveland

Now, he'll go down with a torn ACL or something like that.

 

He doesn't deserve that

 

Nor do the good people of Cleveland.

Which means it will happen.

 

Or a plane crash on the way back from Brazil.

 

"BREAKING NEWS!" on ESPN ticker: Melo and the Knicks are, get this, negotiating a contract!

 

It has to be...he mentioned Toronto and used a 2nd 'u' in rumor.

 

More on the Jenkins story and how he put it together.

Jenkins, who wrote the 2012 Sportsman of the Year cover story about James for Sports Illustrated, said he did not fashion James’s article/statement so much as stitch it together from quotes given during an interview Thursday night at James’s hotel room in Las Vegas.

“I was able to get those quotes and present the news to readers,” Jenkins said. “It’s a feat of editing, to put it together in a simple structure that made sense.”

 

2 years, $42 million (same terms as the last two years of his Miami deal).

Can opt out after 1.

Supposedly wanted the shorter deal because the salary cap goes up again in 2016.

 

Would LeBron have gone back to Cleveland if they did not have all this young talent?

Of course, that will never be answered.

 

Well, they have all this young talent because LeBron left and they've been terrible and thus been a lottery team for the last three years.

 

I just like that you can trace all of this circus back to Baron Davis and the Clippers' incompetence.
