I mean unless they win another title. Yea I don't see him signing long term if they don't win again or look like they can win again.

I like this part of that article.

"Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical said on a podcast last week James could again leave Cleveland next year, this time potentially landing in Los Angeles with the Lakers or Clippers. Meanwhile, Cowley added Irving has been contacting fellow Team USA players to inform them "he might be willing to push for a trade" due to the ongoing drama."

edit: if you look at the roster of last Team USA, you can assume he didn't contact the Warriors, Knicks, or Pacer from the team. That means he is allegedly considering forcing a way to the Raptors, Pelicans, Bulls, Clippers, or Mavs.

If Lebron leaves Cleveland again, I assume it wouldn't reach The Decision levels of rage but would it be worse than KD leaving OKC?

He gave them a title and Dan Gilbert sucks poo poo, I'm sure most people (or at least more people) would understand

Probably not because of the title he won there and assuming Gilbert messes up even more.

Not at all. He won a championship for them and Gilbert fired the GM

It just sets him up to purchase the team from Gilbert when he retires, becoming even bigger of a hero

My concern is that I loving hate the Lakers but I love Lebron so I hope he stays outta my conference and off my least favorite team of all time.

here's some 3v3 basketball if anyone hasn't checked it out yet

no pro players will be playing 3v3 in the olympics so this is what it'll most likely look like

serbian team may not be as good since their best player will be like ~34 but maybe he'll age well

i don't think people would begrudge him leaving a completely dysfunctional franchise and he already did what he set out to do in spectacular fashion (win cleveland a championship). besides, as long as this iteration of golden state exists i think it seriously relieves pressure on lebron's decisions. the warriors are the monster and the most important thing right now, so whatever lebron does is secondary to that
