LeBron James Says THIS About A RETURN TO CLEVELAND
LeBron James been spotted everywhere in the community in the streets. Brian in the streets. He been here all fourth of July and he been making his presence known. First and foremost, let’s start with this. He’s been cited. LeBron James working out at Cavs practice facility. Now, first and foremost, I don’t know how you get that off. I can’t just pull up at the the old facility and get my money off. He says he’s there all the time. He says he’s he’s he has a house in the area. He always does this. I get it. I think this is one of I don’t know who this is. Maybe this is a kid that goes to one of hismies that uh he’s uh you know, he was playing with, practicing, lifting weights, training with. Funny story. Uh this is Alli Clifton used to be uh pregame postgame host, right? LeBron says proper attire. He comments on Alli Clifton wearing a Brian Cavs jersey, right? He says, “Okay, that’s a little something, too. Proper attire. Why ain’t the Lakers proper attire? Why ain’t that proper attire?” Also, rumors of LeBron James Golfy in Northeast Ohio circulated the morning. And now he posts himself wearing a welcome home. LeBron 2025 watch is on. As you see, LeBron is not new to this. He’s true to this. He’s done this before. Remember he made the com comments about LeBron James and being the Cavs had four, five, four allstars. I include myself as a all-star. Remember before LeBron James was sitting there courtside watching the Cavs and brought Savannah back and standing ovation and all that good stuff. And of course, LeBron James says, “Hey, Rich Paul is talking about this. Rich Paul is saying, you know, LeBron is he wants an opportunity to win. Luca is there and you know, LeBron wants to make sure that the Lakers are doing everything that they need to be doing. to getting this thing done. Is this smoke or is it fire? We got to talk about it. And I did talk about this. Let’s take let’s take a look at back at this uh in terms of what’s going on with LeBron James and what’s popping off. Uh because people is is is randomly talking about this. This is courtesy of uh 923 defend. I was on Jonathan Peterlin. We talked about it. Uh the rumors if the Cavs are in the mix, do they got enough leverage to get him? Do they got enough ammo to get him? New York Knicks are rumored to be in the mix. Things of that sort. Things are heating up. Where do I stand on it? How do I think about it? Well, got to wait to see. Let’s get to it. Uh this is me and Jonathan Peter talking about the same uh situation is courtesy of uh 923 the fan. the first time he’s actually feeling what it feels like to not be in the inside crew, not to be the guy, not to be, all right, we got to figure out everything is running through LeBron and figuring out what we want to do. And on top of that, the buses who own the team, they’ve sold the team, there’s a new general, there’s a new feeling in town. It’s
Yeah, which I maintain he doesn’t have to have as much loyalty now because like he did everything for Jeie and now Jeanie’s out the door. So, you don’t really owe the Lakers that much,
right? So now
Lakers also don’t owe you anything anymore either.
That I think both sides are like, “Okay, it was cool. I was lasting. You did bring us our championship. It is what it is.” But we got Luca now and we’re going to build around him. So we’re going to ask him this stuff. So I think he is in a little bit of a position where he’s like, “Man, this is kind of weird a little bit.” If you’re telling me that you you would trade LeBron straight up for Carl Anthony Towns, you wouldn’t do that?
I like Cat, but obviously obviously you’d trade LeBron for Cat if that’s the the going rate. I don’t even think it would be that though. I think it’d start with like male Bridges and then you work your way downward.
Yeah. He said OG anonym and and maybe some other things, but I mean that’s I mean there’s infrastructure.
But think about it though. Think about it. Like we talk about the Knicks pieces and what they would send over and then we bring up the Cavs pieces and what we would send over. If it’s if it’s Darius Garland, Jared Allen, and then either one of DeAndre Hunter or Max Streus, are we letting that stand in our way?
Cuz I’m not.
No. No. I he he threw out a a package of Jared Allen and DeAndre Hunter and some other guys at the bottom of the roster would have to move before they can even make the move because they’re in the second apron. But if it’s DeAndre Hunter and Jared Allen, I’m like, “All right, then I’ll talk to y’all later. Y’all good? Listen, I will listen.” I pack their bags up and and you you talk about it and he says there, and I thought that was one of the best sound bites. He says, “You put those four guys together and you got Evan Mobley, you got LeBron James, Darius Garland, and and and uh Donovan Mitchell.” He said, “That’s the best four players in the game. That’s the best four.”
I mean, it’s not even close.
It’s not even So, that’s that’s a real core four. We stretched out the core four a little bit. Not like Jared Allen, but that’s a real core four.
And if you still got Lonzo Ball that you got and you got Larry Nance Jr. and you still got Max Stress and some of the other guys. I mean,
but I don’t even need to get all greedy Williams on anyone here. I really don’t. Like I don’t I don’t need Darius to be involved in this in order for it to be a yes or a no. If Darius is part of the package, then Darius is part of the package.
It is what it is. I I’ve looked at it and here’s the thing. I get I get the thing being a people’s telling me I’m the Darius Garland hater in the city. I’m not a Darius Garland hater. I’m just giving you I’m just giving you the math. Darius Garland is a smaller guard. He’s a very very good player. He is. He’s not Kyrie Irving. Not Kyrie, right? He’s a very good player. Does he get picked on on defense? Yes. Uh, is he Yeah. I mean, dead bodies move around him when he’s playing defense.
Yeah. Is he People say,
does he get injured often? Yes. Yes, he does.
Yes. Uh, you know, does his maturity is is that brought into the in question sometimes? Sure. But he’s a very good player. But if if it takes getting LeBron James, LeBron, the thing that the Cavs are missing is the exact thing LeBron James brings. Pressure
and the willingness to to be like, “Hey, this is how we’re going to make this work. and and then tough, you know, and as courtesy of 923 defense, shout outs to Jonathan Peeler. And I thought that was we had a good conversation about it. One of the things that I look at is is is when you’re saying this, you’re like, “Hey, look, I I I get it. I I get it when it when you talk about LeBron James. I understand what it is, but when you’re talking LeBron, does it move the needle for the Cavs? If it’s Jared Allen and DeAndre Hunter, yeah. If it’s Darius Garland and Jared Allen. Yeah. The thing about LeBron is we don’t get it. And and and this this is tough sometimes. And I I don’t understand people get it. There’s a thing in Cleveland where we’ve won with LeBron and I think everybody feels like, okay, well, we want to win without LeBron. Well, listen, man. I I don’t want to break the news to you guys, bro, but I don’t really care nothing about that. Like winning and winning with or with without. Um, that’s like saying, “I want to work for all of my money. I want to work till I’m 65 to win to to earn a million dollars over my entire work career or I just win the lottery.” Bro, I’m going to take winning the lottery. Like, I I don’t really need to to have the fulfilling need of saying I work for my money. Hey, I would have loved to be a trust fund baby. I would love for my dad to leave a million dollars to me in some sort of f fund over here where I could get it when I was 18 rather than working for 60 years. Why would you care when how you get the championship? I just want the trophy. And the thing about LeBron James is he’s still a top 10 player. He’s still averaging 258 and eight. He’s still LeBron James. And when you take a look at what LeBron brings to the table, it’s this mentality and knowing that when you need to have it done in the playoffs, he’s there. LeBron’s never been majorly injured. He don’t have no injuries. You don’t got to worry about him sitting no playoff games out. As a matter of fact, he’s never even had a major injury. As a matter of fact, Darius Garland has had more injuries than LeBron. There’s this thing where people’s try to like they trying to prove a point like you you better because you won without somebody else. I want to do it my way. That’s why I always tell people want to win only on comfortable standards. People want to win what they can who who they can identify with. People want to win when when when when the odds and the and the all of the surrounding things are in their favor. They don’t want to win at all cost. They want to win with the people that I’m comfortable with, the people I identify with, my plan, the way I vision it, the way I see it, the way I want to do things. But some people, the true winners, the true champions are willing to win at any cost. People talk about windows. How good are windows right now? I just saw the Boston Celtics get ripped apart. I saw the Boston Celtics out of here and they was just champions last year. The way the new apron worked, how long are you going to have a window anyway? And what is a window? Because I just saw the Celtics just lose that window in in two seconds. Are you going to be able to keep Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, Jared Allen, and Donovan Mitchell together anyway? No, not necessarily. You got a two to three window anyway. So if I got a two to threeear window, I like my window with Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and LeBron and DeAndre Hunter. I could start. Think about that. I can start. I can start Lonzo Ball, Donovan Mitchell, your boy DeAndre Hunter, LeBron at the four, and Evan Mobley at the five. I still bring Max Strus off the bench, Larry Nance off the I’ll take it. I’ll take it at the end of the day. I’ll take it because let me tell you this and if LeBron if you’re listening, finish your breakfast, dog. I personally think that you’re the best player of all time, but these dudes out here, they always going to keep you under the thumb. They got you below Kobe now. Out in LA, they not going to respect you. I got a LA hat on right now that you listen, you’ll never be in the top five in LA. You’ll never be better than You’ll never be higher than Shaq, Magic, Jerry West, Kobe. But guess what? You got an opportunity to win a couple rings. Look at the East wide open. You come right on over here and walk right to the finals. All you got to do is figure out how to stop SGA and Oklahoma City Thunder. Unless you done winning rings, cuz I feel like you can get two more. and Dan Gilbert, I know you want to win with or without without him. But at the end of the day, take the free money. You got an opportunity to do something here. If y’all smart and come together, y’all can figure it out. Is LeBron coming back to Cleveland? I don’t know. You know, he gets kind of in his feelings. He’s emotional sometimes. I just think he’s kind of a little upset that they building around Luca. But if you get too excited, too angry, you know where to find us. I want to throw this out there really quickly again. Uh let me uh we got one more segment because I promised you I was going to get to it. Promised you I was going to get to it. Um and we’re going to get to that coming up now. But before I do, let me throw this one out here, too. Uh let me throw this one out here, too.

After the goat retire I will not watch the nba no more π’π’π’
Trash james
Team cancer
Cleveland dont need that bum.. if they are stupid enough to even try would be the dumbest idea ever
No way am I any GM giving up my future for a 40 yr old LeBron he averages his points because he stat pads! But go ahead π
Lebron has a school in Cleveland and family, but I think its pretty obvious Lebron wants to go to Cleveland in my opinion. He wants to be in the "conversation" this off season.
This Dude is High and dont understand the CBA or understand Basketball! Let's trade all our depth & young pieces to get a 40 yr old who plays no Defense & is fighting father time. Achilles never happened yet but at 40+.. year 23. Think kobe.. think mj injuries on comeback. Im 40 and feel it n not no pro athlete. Lol. This dude high! Cavs made perfect offseason move if lonzo can stay healthy & adding cheap big fan fav replace Tristan.
#1 Cle can't even trade for LeBron bc he earn more than 53mil & cle can't aggregate. They would have to create 20mil in cap space.. not gonna happen.. literally impossible, I think nets only 1. Unless some stretch n trade non sense which is just dumb. So only way Bron going to Cle is to get a buyout! Then Clear Waivers! Then he could sign…π
#2 LA CANT TRADE BRON TO CLE FOR ASSETS.. BUT IT CAN TRADE BRONNY.. SO A NOD N WINK DEAL W LA BUYS OUT BRON FOR SAY 20MIL LESS. THEN BRONNY TRADED TO CLE FOR MAX STRUSS & A 1ST RD PIXK. SOMETHING AGGREGIOUS… WOULD PROB BE VETO BY COMMISSIONER… BC ITS SKIRTING CBA… BUT THATS HOW U DO IT.
#3 and Last Cle dont need bron… its other way around…
And then DG n bron…aren't buddies. Unless bron buying that 15% stake.
LeBron James & Cleveland πππ truly a perfect match ππππ. I pray this happens ππππ
Look the truth is! No one wants LBJ. His antics and if he really wants to get another ring. He could just go to any team for basically nothing. Thatβs if you really want to win.
Cleveland don't want his old ass 53 mil contract to come in the way of what they already have going on for them.
The same people wanting back better not be the same people not wanting Flacco to start. Both are at the end of their careers and are a strong piece to help winning now, but not for the long run.
Idc where he goes. As long as he is off my Lakers. Just get him tf out of here. Put him on OKC……he wont win.
Hope he goes back to Cleveland keeps his ass out of Mavericks rumors!!
π―π―
Even if his 40 year old ass comes crawling back, the Cavs are probably not gonna take him. He left for LA and the Cavs have moved on.
G you cooking. LBJ doesnβt get the same love in LA as in C-Town. Now heβll be playing 2nd fiddle to Luka. Start the victory lap and come home. LA ainβt winning a ring anytime soon
If LeBron had been on the cavs last year, that would have beaten indy and okc
It's a done deal he's going to be a Cav this year he'll play for the league minimum and he will be a given a piece of ownership. Book it!
As a LIFELONG member of LakerNation…just give us Evan Mobley and Darius Garland AND Y'ALL CAN HAVE HIM!!
Long time Laker fan here. I'm virtually on my knees begging you to take LeBron off our hands ππ½ I want my franchise back.
We don't want LeBron back π€
We can only hope he will bless LA with leaving!!! True Laker fans canβt wait for him to go. We never wanted him here in the first place!!!
Lebron not top ten
Cade Cunningham
Jayson Tatum
SGA
Jokic
Doncic
AntMan
Curry
KD
GIANNIS
BANCHERO
HALIBURTON
THATS 11 ahead of lebron he top 20 tho
Lebron is your goat u just donβt know basketball asking for that dumb trade
LeBron's midlife crisis is annoying. MJ and Kobe had more class and humility than LeBron. I know ain't no team winning a chip with a 41yr old man in the starting five. It's only so much the game gives you.
No itβs not. Youβre great at clickbait tho
I have a hard time believing the Cavs want him back. I would lose a lot of respect for the Cavs ownership and management if this happens. Just retire, go away and let the league try to rebound as far as ratings and public opinion go.
Hell no! Stay TF in L.A
Yup letβs blow up the team to bring in a 40 yr old to play for a year. Smart
