Especially if another employer is offering pretty-much the same amount.

Yup, and the opportunities to excel are available in both settings.

LBJ trolling CLE and MIA.

Ujiri's already got his signature, just keeping it on that Bruno Caboclo down-low

[rocwell]

so yeah.. still no decision from LeBron.. If this continues, we'll see new letter.. this time not from Gilbert, but from Morey.

I am shocked & disappointed in today's news. However I will never forget what Lebron brought us for 4 years. Thanks for memories @KingJames

I'm glad for Lebron and Cleveland.

[mcHAPPY]

[rocwell]

Man, LeBron is home boy. I like this tbh.

All these chants, akron hate you, who's your daddy and more...

By the way, since Lebron is going home, time to post this plot twist:

[white men can't jump]

So LeBron is going back to the Cavs...I wonder if Bosh regrets not taking the Houston deal sooner? I already know Wade regrets opting out.

Also, LBJ had to go back to Cleveland...did you see his crazy they were going? They would have burnt his house down.

I also wonder how many "Heat" fans he takes with him...

I also hope he gets a public apology for that letter.

[OptimalOptimist]

The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, “OK, I don’t want to deal with these people ever again.” But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I’ve met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We’ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I’ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?

Go get 'em Lebron

[white men can't jump]

Well it'll be fun to see a non-ball town like Miami suck again. Everyone loves to hate their fans...well now those fans will stop showing up to games
