Report: Lebron going back to Cleveland

that makes Riley dumb, Isaiah Thomas dumb. Wade opted out, he's not guaranteed to resign. Miami doesn't owe him anything. Why would Riley rebuild around a 50-55 game player with declining skills and with little playoff hope with him and his salary

 

What makes you think that? Just because there's live streaming video of a police officer sitting in his car outside LeBron's suburban Akron home ...
And another reporter is sitting in a chair outside the gift shop at Quicken Loans Arena to be the first person in line to buy a new LBJ jersey ...
Nah, nothing off the charts going on here.

 

Must be a slow news day.

 

this is the perfect ESPN story regardless of the other news. 24/7 speculation, no facts. Perfect ESPN storm

 

So the 11 p.m. EDT thing happened (or didn't).

There should really be a website dedicated to calling people out for peddling stories that are wrong. I don't care if it might be factually true that "a source" said something. If what is relayed is proved bogus and you've put your name to it, you own it.

 

This is a joke. LeBron has said nothing to anybody, and the media outlets/Twitter are creating this urgency. Just tell me when he fucking decides. And hopefully it's not in a 2-hour ESPN special.

 

This ... you would think Bret Favre was trying to decide his next move (not involving a cell phone).

 

It kinda reminds me, in a way, of the BS when Jordan was going to come back with the Wizards. Constant speculation, and MJ feeding his ego by not announcing anything for the longest time. Then the 9/11 attacks happened, and it dawned on him that nobody was going to give a shit anymore if he came back, so he announced it very quietly.

 

If you live in Cleveland or Miami, or even LA, James is big news. Everywhere else, no. Why it's almost as if ESPN were reminding the NBA that its ability to generate tsunamis of publicity about the league should count for a little something when the new rights contract comes up.

 

I'm even more convinced that those who are saying this is a done deal are just making guesses based on the information they have and then if he stays in Miami, it will become, "Oh, Wade talked him out of going to Cleveland."

They said on SportsCenter last night that the reason LeBron and Carmelo haven't announced is because they like having their names out there all over the place, that it's good for "their brand"

As flaky as these guys are, until they announce, nothing is a done deal.

 

Heard Chris Sheridan on the radio yesterday saying its 100% that James goes to Cleveland. He wont reveal his source, because its important to the National Security of the Nation, both militarily and economically, that the source remain confidential.

If James doesn't go to Cleveland the source on which Sheridan relied wasn't honest with him. Either he lied to Sheridan or he didn't know James' decision but assured him he did, either way Sheridan looks like a fool.

Is the agreement with a source for anonymity contingent upon the source being fully honest and candid?
