And I think LeBron's desire for a reunion is deeply, deeply overblown. LeBron wants to win championships and be recognized, at least for a time, as the GOAT. Cleveland spent the better part of a decade demonstrating that they simply don't know how to build a goddamn championship team around a superstar talent, and frankly the last three years have shown they're not really that good at drafting either - not terrible, but not great. LeBron might go back when he has five or six rings, maybe, but now? I am dubious.

Re: Lebron to Cleveland - Lebron is signing his next contract to cover the final years of his prime. He will NOT go to a sh*t roster like Cleveland. He'll want multiple more championships and he'll be looking for a ready-to-win roster. The Cleveland talk is mostly hype, although Lebron undoubtedly can see the benefit, from a PR standpoint, of going back to Cleveland and repairing some of the damage to his rep. caused by The Decision.
Cleveland could offer as good a package for Gay as any team - an expiring, a prospect, and a pick. Ujiri would have to take that."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

The Gay to Cleveland thing is simply machinated by Raps fans. We want to see a trade to a team with players we like or want to like. Truth is, Rudy is here to stay. Yes, all contracts can be moved. But right now, with teams eyeing this draft class, the last thing they'd want is to touch that albatross of a contract.

It's hard to know what Cleveland wants to do this year. Tanking for one final pick in a heralded draft class makes so much sense.
Trading for Gay looks like it makes no sense as he's having a bad start to his year and has an opt out clause. But some small market teams don't always make smart basketball decisions.. some want to fill seats and get playoff revenue. They also want to keep their franchise player happy.
That's why the ideal teams for Gay would be the same ones most come up with... Milwaukee, Charlotte, Detroit and Cleveland. Small market teams that want to win now and sell tickets. Rudy Gay brought a lot of excitement to Toronto last season.. I think he could do the same for a lot of teams when they aren't making basketball decisions.

Only thing I would add is there were a lot of rumours about Cleveland wanting Gay in the last 2-3 years. Can we call this educated speculation? lol

"You're completely right but it doesn't change anything, i said a realistic chance, and that they do. "I personally think he stays in miami, but Cleveland is definitely #2.
Banking on Rudy Gay turning away his 19 million option is much more of a long shot, possible but not realistic unless he hates cleveland in which case why would you get him in the first place if you hope he doesn't fit in ?"
I agree with you, Lebron is a big shit talker though so I don't even think he would even consider playing for Cleveland just giving them false hope. He thinks out of his ass sometimes. (Big fan of his game, not his character) Anyway, I think taking a chance on bennett and getting another pick in return would be ideal. But I don't know what to expect especially after todays game, I think its just this losing culture we have. Its like theres a curse with this team man. Heart breaking
