Cleveland Fans reacts to LeBron's Return

Cleveland Cavaliers fans are excited and extremely happy for the return of their Prodigal son LeBron James. While the Miami Heat fans are understandably not happy about it.

LeBron had 2 NBA titles with the Miami Heat. The 29-year-old forward announced Friday July 11, 2014 that he will come home to rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers. His hometown team he left just 4 years ago.

James said:

"I'm ready to accept the challenge. I'm coming home."

James Tweeted to his fans "I'm coming home."

I called it on my last post that LeBron will be back!

LeBron James Did not Commit with Heat In Pat Riley Meeting

Here we are again with the "The Decision 2" where will LeBron take his talent next? LeBron James and Miami Heat president Pat Riley met last Wednesday July 9, 2014 in Las Vegas and he did not commit with the Heat.

While Miami courts LeBron, Cleveland Cavaliers are clearing cap space for LeBron, so they can offer a maximum contract. They had an agreement with the Brooklyn Nets for a 3-way team trade were Cavs will ship Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev to the Nets, and the Boston Celtics will get Marcus Thornton from the Brooklyn Nets and Tyler Zeller from the Cavs,and Cav's top-10 protected 2016 first-round pick. With this deal the Cavs will free up their cap space by $20.7 million.




I will call it! LeBron James will take his talent back to Cleveland to correct his past mistakes and help the Cavs win a championship! I will respect LeBron if do this, do it like a man and built your own team and not take the coward path of teaming up with other stars in a Heat jersey.

Here are the other rumors:

"Luol Deng is right there in the popularity contest: I'm told Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Lakers, Clippers and Chicago have registered interest." Sam Amick @sam_amick

"The ever-popular Kyle Lowry received interest tonight from Miami, the Lakers, Rockets, Dallas, and - of course - incumbent Raptors, I'm told" Sam Amick @sam_amick

"Clippers, I'm told, believe they have real chance of stealing Paul Pierce away from Nets now that Jason Kidd no longer coaching in Brooklyn" Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine

"Sacramento, Charlotte, Minnesota, Orlando and the champs from San Antonio all calling, I'm told, about Brooklyn free agent Shaun Livingston" Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine

Shaun will be a great addition on any team since he held his own in Brooklyn, specially when Deron Willams got injured.

About Lebron James, he no longer wants just to win it all now he wants tons of cash, LeBron James wants max salary. 

Houston Rockets Wants LeBron James

Will LeBron James entertain the idea of building another big three in Houston, teaming up with Dwight Howard and James Harden?

According to League sources the Houston back-office is putting up something to make a hard push to get LeBron James in free agency on July 1, that is if LeBron opts out. However, if they failed to land James their second choice is Carmelo Anthony or Chris Bosh.

Someone close to James said that LeBron is thinking about his future and is willing to leave Miami if there's a better team that can accommodate him.

According to Howard Beck of Bleacher Report, the Rockets can trade Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik. Both of them have about $15 million in actual salary next season. Trade Donatas Motiejunas and Isaiah Canaan without returning salary. Waive some players that have non-guaranteed deals. Re-sign Chandler Parsons as a restricted free agent after LeBron signs.
