What's crazy is that Reggie never dealt with 1/100th of the pressure that LeBron dealt with from about 07 up until now except when he made 1 finals and he's on national tv saying stuff like that. LeBron was expected to win like 5+ titles from the age of 17. Reggie's teams were never really expected to do much of anything. Also, they love to praise and jockride these guys when they are 21-24 but turn on them so easily after that. It will happen with Wemby too.

Bron finishing his career in the Land would be incredible. Finish it where it all began in front of fans who actually appreciate him.

Say Bron does go back to Cle (would need a guarantee from Mitchell ofc), how else would/could they improve?
Who are some top tier trade targets with Mobley, Garland, and their picks?

Garland seems like a perfect fit with LeBron.

As does Mobley. They need his defense. Problem with Garland is he’s injury prone. I trade Allen for wing help and a half decent backup big.

As a Cleveland fan, I wholeheartedly co-sign on this

I'm feeling it. Leaving the older superstar star for younger supporting cast makes sense like the first time. Lebron back to the Cavs.

There would be a nice level of symmetry in that sort of departure. Reasonable contract, makes a large impact on their chances to look good and compete. Coming home. Going out as he came in. It would be a cool story, a third chapter in Cleveland for Lebron.

Does Cleveland have the cap to sign him outright? It’s probably a Mother’s Day visit to Akron.

I think they'd need the Lakers help and to make them feel like they can either accept Allen/#20 or get nothing. Maybe he could lead the 76ers on.

I doubt the salary works as I can’t see Lebron settling for too much less than the max. It’d have to be Garland and a filler to also keep Rich and Davis happy. Lebron likes having an athletic big and they can move Mobley for a couple of wings so Lebron can play 4 full time.

To be honest, LeBron’s happy-go-lucky persona might be the main reason why all those guys are constantly disrespecting him. They respect LeBron’s approach on the business side of things, but they don’t really respect his on the court game like they do, MJ, Kobe, etc, and it’s truly such a backward thinking on their part. Yeah, I do get irritated with LeBron’s nonchalant and passive aggressive attitude a bit, but I understand that’s who he is, he’s just not a in-your-face type of guy.
He wants to get along and be friendly with everyone and that will definitely ruffle some feathers in a competitive league where a lot of players whether it be retired or current players are already envious of LeBron’s career/legacy/image, etc, so it makes sense for them to take cheap shots at him every now and then. To be quite honest, they hate him more for the simple fact that he doesn’t even acknowledge them while they’re constantly nitpicking and calling him out.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Jj Redick getting the coaching job would be hilarious. I was wondering why Bron randomly started doing a podcast when hes never done one besides his own on The Shop
