SAS mentioned about 80 percent of this on his radio show today. I literally told @Remy Le Breh and @Illeye buckmatic about what happened in Vegas last night in our group. Some of it I've said on this site or shared with people I trust or just flat out posted on the site.

I said Wade gave him his blessing a couple of days ago in the Free Agency thread and SAS confirmed it on his show this morning.


As far as the hold up? Paperwork and last minute discussions
.

Are you saying him going back to Cleveland is locked and sealed? I'll follow up depending on the answer.

I'm guessing here but him needing to "talk to his family" is trying to convince Mike Miller to join the Cavs.

When I read Broussard's tweet it was the first thing that ran thru my mind.

He knows what he wants to do. I'll leave it at that.

So hes stalling while his commercial gets done over at Nike :smugbiden:

That's some cold-hearted shyt (but business) if he knows hes heading to Cleveland, leaving Riley waiting. Not like Riley has much of a choice, but Cleveland knows the FA's will line up as soon as he signs...Miami would be in a difficult spot putting together a competitive lineup last minute. That's pretty much him doing to Miami what he did to Cleveland 4 years ago.

- LeBron and Pat have a very complicated relationship. Two very large egos. They've had their share of disagreements over the years some serious .....some not.
- LeBron is used to having things his way. He expects everyone in his circle to get the same treatment as himself. He has a really big heart and he means well.
- His inner circle and mother all get the "Smack, who is this nikka?" treatment in Miami.
- Riley does not and has not extended the same level of perks that LeBron is used to that he had in Cleveland. ( LeBron literally had control back home. He would tell the Cavs when the team plane would leave...... if he wanted to stay in a city while playing on the road the whole team would have to stay, etc.)


- Dan Gilbert literally bent over backwards to appease him. He built the training facilities to LeBron's liking. He helped protect the image of LeBron while he was going through his maturation stages as a man. Gilbert never talks about any of it but that's where the tension is rooted from after he left the way he did. He felt betrayed about how it all went down.

Back to the Heat.

- LeBron was not happy with some of the strategies that Spo used throughout the season.

- There were times throughout the season, where he would see Wade practice, prep for a game, and then see him in a suit when it was time to go. Wade or the Heat would not inform him that he was not going to play. This rubbed LeBron the wrong way. He felt like he had to carry them more than he had anticipated.

- Pat Riley wanted to have a 1 on 1 meeting with LeBron after the finals ended. LeBron refused. Told him he could talk to Rich if he needed to talk to him. This pissed Riley off. This happened a little while before the end of the year presser that Riley gave to the media.



- LeBron and Rich cut the meeting short with Riley in Vegas. It went sour.

- Like I've said on this site a few times. Maverick had been openly telling people that the decision was to get him back home after the Finals ended. No one else had been really talking about if from his camp to outsiders.

- He's told Wade to his face that this is a business decision and not personal. Wade gave him his blessing regardless of how it plays out.

- He's met with Dan Gilbert in person more than once since he's been a member of the Heat.

- He wants his kids to go to SVSM.

SAS believes the decision will be made by Saturday.



All of this sounds believable except it still doesn't really explain why Bosh or Melo are supposedly holding their breaths for a Lebron decision that seems by your post is at least 85% in The Cavs favor. Seems cut and dry in this particular scenario that Bosh would get his money in Houston and Melo would get ALL his money in New York and call it a day....

SAS was dead on with the Melo thing. I just don't see it as feasible in 2014. I'd bet they are still thinking about it. But as an outsider, I don't see it happening from a location, financial, or legacy perspective.

Bosh knows he is being back doored. Which is why my level of respect for him is rising by the day.

Just like I said fukk Dan Gilbert the same goes for Pat Riley. Riley came out of the deal with 2 more Championships rings added to his Cac fingers and 4 STRAIGHT eastern Conference titles. EVERYBODY in this scenario has won in the last 4 years, The main reason why I wouldn't wanna see Lebron back with the Cavs is because Gilbert let his true mind-state regarding Lebron unleash in that letter. That type of shyt is 100% unforgivable in MY opinion and I'd hope that Lebron wouldn't reward such Cacitry by returning, however, at the end of the day, Pat Riley is still a rich white man who got EXACTLY what he bargained for when he helped unite the Big three. Lebron don't owe him a damn thing

Do you think Bosh goes to Houston before Lebron says anything?

Why exactly has the tide turned against Bosh so dramatically? You'd think if Lebron didn't really want to play with either of the two it would be washed up Wade. Bosh still has plenty left in the tank

There's a lot that I'm not going to talk about with Gilbert. But the public doesn't quite understand the relationship between him and LeBron.

My guess? No.

The original big 3 was supposed to be Wade, Melo, and Bron. Bosh was a substitute.

Melo opted for a longer deal with Denver which fukked him out of being a free agent in 2010. He missed the ship.

LeBron reminds Melo of this fukk up often.

Bron and Melo know that this is probably the last time they could do this in their primes.
