Strictly from a basketball standpoint...

First off Riley being there makes them a serious team to begin with.

He leaves the Heat with two proven players in Wade and Bosh...a legend in Riley...role players he finally got used to playing with...to go back to friggin Cleveland?

Kevin Love? Kyrie Irving? SOme scrub from St Mary's???

Call me reactionary but it still doesnt make any sense basketball wise. The Spurs are an awesome team...make some tweaks and come back better...dont run to an inferior franchise.

because he wanted to play at home

its one game, hell philly won their first game last year

guess what cavs will still win 55-65 games and be in the finals

Staying with Pat Riley makes more sense than anything else....he went back to a franchise that doesnt know what it's doing. He's the GM and Owner now...it's not a good role for him.

he obviously wants to win a ring in Cleveland

i think thats a pretty clear answer to your question :ld:

He should have never left then

:yeshrug:

He made his decision 5 years ago. Ppl got over it. He was with Riley who knows what the fukk he's doing...he should have stayed in Miami for life....better franchise, better management...better current team.

He had nothing left to accomplish in MIA

He felt like finishing business in CLE and winning a title there

But that def ain't happening this year

I thought he'd stay in MIA another two years Atleast.

What do you mean nothing left to accomplish? Since when are pro sports hit and run? Riley/Lebron was his legacy....idk why someone as good as him would leave that.

Maverick Carter messed up.Wanted LeBron to shed the villain image.Wasn't worth it since Miami was'nt washed yet. Should've waited til the Cavs were proven.

He wasnt a villain anymore though...the media kisses his ass more than any other athlete on the planet besides Peyton.

Because he knew the Heat were declining. Wade was finished and he had only Bosh, who would want another max contract, who else could they attract via FA (if available). The trade route would be weak because they had no assets. Cavs had a set team with minimal moves to make (Love trade).
