Oh buddy. I still think either PHX or CLE would be his best options if he wants to win and be set for the future.

CLE though has the advantage just because the East is terrible.

[mcHAPPY]

I'm not sure I typed it here, I might have but whatever.....

I've been saying all along that the only place he can leave Miami for is Cleveland.

If he goes anywhere else to join anyone else he is going to be a bit of an asterisk in discussion of greatest in NBA history. The asterisk being he can't win on his own.

It would be interesting if Kyrie was traded to Phoenix for Bledsoe in sign and trade.

Irving already agreed in principle to a max contract with CLE. So if he signs a new contract, he can't be traded for months - so no Bledsoe SnT.

I think it is against the rules until like December 8th.

Nothing is official yet.... but yeah. I shouldn't think out loud.

December 15th but close enough

Doesn't matter. Even if they wanted to the Cavs would have to include more with Kyrie in a S&T for Bledsoe because he has much higher cap hit and they'd need to reserve space for LeBron.

Also why on earth would the Cavs trade Kyrie for Bledsoe? And why would Phoenix want another PG that can't guard the 2 next to Dragic?

Clearly I should have put more thought in to it eventhough I led with, "It would be interesting...."

Biggest reason behind my thinking is friendship Bledsoe and LeBron have and same agent.

Obviously not as easy or as likely a proposition as I originally thought.

[mjt20mik]

Cavs fans would honestly hate him now more than ever if he didn't come back. Rich Paul could be creating another villain persona for Lebron.

[raptors999]

Outside of Cleveland and his agent who gets a percentage of his deal. Is anybody talking LeBron going back to Cleveland?

[ball4life]

It seems more and more likely Lebron is going back. What do you guys think of the Cavs chances of dominating the next few years?

Likely?
