  Easy to say it wont happen. But if our current core continues to develop along with multiple first rounds picks for years to come, it would definitely be a legit possibility.

  Yes I said it.

  And I'd watched a game with the Clips a few nights ago where it showed a graphic saying his points/rebounds were down a good bit from his previous two years.

  If he comes back to Cleveland it's because him and his crew can run the organization they can do anything they want in the building at anytime. s*** like that doesn't fly round Pat Riley

  And this is a MAJOR problem. I'd be really surprised if Gilbert let the inmates run the asylum like he did the last time.

  I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same. I wonder how much more money he was making then compared to now.

  I just don't see him coming back any other way

  I really don't see him going back regardless.

  I think he comes back because he regrets leaving. One championship in Cleveland would do more for his legacy than 5 titles with the Heat.
• Pick6

  

  I think the chances are good, because of the young and presumably talented team we will have, its his "home", and like SE said, would do wonders for his "legacy" and ego. With that said, Im definitely not getting my hopes up.

  LeBron isn't coming to Cleveland and frankly he can go fuck himself. If it somehow happened, i would still hate LeBron, and would treat him like a POS until he won a title. No title=gfy.
  
  I am sure Nike is ejaculating at the potential of this story. Hometown "hero" comes back to finish what he left. SMH.
• SportsAndLady

  

  How exactly would Lebron and his crew "run the organization"? I think it's pretty clear that the guy has obviously grown up since he left Cleveland. I doubt he wants to play GM and star player all at the same time. With the core we have, there wouldn't be anything he would need to run...other than the offense I guess. But then again, we have Kyrie to do that.
  
  Look, I hate(d) the guy more than the next Cleveland fan...but to say he hasn't grown up since his time here in Cleveland is letting the hatorade sink into your veins.

  I would still hate him even if he won a title. DGAF, still a POS. Like the asshat who's an asshat his whole life than decides at last second to do something nice. Doesn't make up for your entire life being a shithead. I'd be glad and celebrating a title though.

  I haven't read the entire thread, but is anyone talking about the Spurs? Can't believe they are so old and have the best record in the NBA. Best and most consistent franchise of the century.

  You honestly think that he (and his crew) would come back here and not want the run of the place like they had before? Special treatment like that Gilbert previously bent over backwards to do, only to get kicked in the nuts and for him to leave? He had it made here in Cleveland, sold his soul to go south, and now may want to pick back up where he left off when he returns.
  
  You know he's not going to be "just one of the guys." He and his entourage will expect treatment above & beyond the call, like they had before.
  
  Like one of the articles said, THAT would be one of his main reasons for him returning. It's been documented that Pat Riley doesn't put up with that shit in South Beach and Gilbert basically grabbed his ankles for him, while here in Cleveland, and said "thank you, sir...may I have another?"

  Does anyone ever talk about the Spurs?
  
  Most boring team in the entire world...I don't care how "good" they are, I refuse to watch a Spurs game.

  I know what you are saying, I just don't see him now as I did when he was 21 years old.
  
  I know it's a long shot and probably a bit unrealistic, but I could see him coming here, shutting up, letting the organization (who, btw, has proven at least in my opinion that they can build up a franchise from the bottom up...at least it's looking that way so far) run the show, and trying to bring a title to the city he grew up by and knows how desperate they are for a championship.
  
  When you think about it...Chris Grant has made INCREDIBLE moves so far. He's only been the GM for 2 and a half years and was put in charge of one of the toughest rebuilding jobs.
  
  The recent trade w/ the Grizzlies was trade rape. He traded Mo Williams and Jamario Moon for what turned out to be the #1 pick in the draft and probably the next superstar in the NBA. He got, what looks to be, the two best players in the 2010 draft in Irving and TT. He signed Alonzo Gee. They have a first round pick coming from the Lakers. Another one from the Grizzlies.
  
  The difference between Danny Ferry (LOL) and Chris Grant is night and day, and I hope Lebron "and his crew" see that.

  Stranger things have happened but I'd be VERY skeptical.

  Didn't say I wouldn't want him back, he's still a POS and I'd prefer to win one without him. "IF" he comes back, and we win fine but he's a still a POS and I wont forgive him.

  how is a team that averages over 100 ppg and is the #1 team in the NBA boring?

  Yeah its a fail arguement. They dont have a high flying wing player so they must be boring!
