Why the hell did Lebron leave Miami?

[Jplaya2023]

So he ran through the first door out of town to a worse situation because he's not tough and doesn't know how to overcome? By the very meaning of those words and phrases they can't all go together.

his "wanting" to come home overcame his common sense so he made a worse basketball decision IMO. His focus is on other interest and not 100% into basketball. That's obvious

Bro, we don't need Lebron in a Heat uni, we want Wade to finish his career getting the credit he deserved and that would npt happen with Lebron. We got 3 rings, more than most franchises, and we can get there again with the right shyt happening on the court. Let him stay where he is at and let Wade finally show what he can do leading a good team.

You mean let Chris Bosh show what he can do leading a team right?

So in other words nothing, not even making sense, will stop you from spinning this to shyt on him?

Point blank saying a guy ran out of the first door out of town to a worse situation due to lack of competitiveness doesn't make sense no matter how you try to slice it. If MIA wins a 3rd straight title that wanting doesn't overcome shyt and he admitted as much. If you wanna shyt on him at least get your story straight first.

Going back to Cleveland wasn't a basketball decision, it was a business decision. But trading 2 number one picks overall picks for Kevin Love is just

TWolves won

The Cavs have more room for growth and assets to improve, with LeBron, Bosh and Wade the Heat were capped out with very little room to improve their roster. Compare the rosters of the Cavs this year, to the Heat in their first year.


What really needs to be addressed is the fact Wade didn't take a backseat to Bosh until LeBron left, had he been willing to give up the ball to Bosh and sacrifice touches maybe Bron doesn't leave since Bosh is still an elite player.

What do you mean by assets? Are you talking about players that can be traded?
If I'm not mistaken, the Heat only have Bosh and maybe one other player signed to long-term deals.
The next two Heat seasons SHOULD be very interesting.

Probably listened to his wife like a bytch nikka because she wanted to go back to shytty Ohio.

No way I could play for Gilbert after that letter.

I remember that "Countdown to Akron" tweet she put out weeks before the Decision 2.0.
I think it was deleted.

this thread does not get made if they win last night

leaving Pat Riley was a bad move basketball wise.

The Heat will have more flexibility going forward and be more interesting because Lebron is gone. MIA with Bron has two players signed to long term max deals and Wade to consider as well. They traded all their draft picks and are dependent on all 30+ guys. The Cavs have a 10 mil expiring and a 5 or 6 mil trade exception and you next 3 guys after Lebron are 26 and under and they have their picks and a pick from Memphis. In short Bron selected a team that had room to grow over a team that had peaked and had limited means of infusing the new blood that was clearly needed.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

He wanted to be liked more than he wanted to win. With all three of them opting out after the finals they could've all signed deals to give space while signing free agents to fit the team and get young legs. Guy spent so long being liked by everyone that it shook the hell out of him actually being booed. He chose to prioritize cities that he doesn't play in cheering him over winning more titles, because nobody focused on winning would trust the cavaliers to win more than the heat. It's like Heisenberg throwing away his $100+ million empire to crawl back to his nagging wife who fukked her boss just to spite him

Politics...IMO.

he openly admitted had they won last year he would've stayed. They lose so he jets, what does that tell you?

 

[cook]

too much pressure in MIA. if he lost another finals there his legacy wouldnt have been able to recover

Lebron just needs to leave other voices out of his decision making and make choices based on best basketball sense. He wants to be loved and revered so much it takes away common sense. I read a windhorst piece about lebron wanting to be a "hero" and shyt. I was smh at it. Could you imagine jordan in 92 saying he wants to go back to his hometown of charlotte (he was born in BK but grew up in charlotte) so he could play hero?

He wanted to go home
Wade is a gimp
Bosh is soft
Cavs have a real PG
Kevin Love is a good all around player

Really you look at the two teams and the window for him winning in Miami was very small. The team around him wasn't that good anymore. He had to do everything and it caught up to them in the Finals. Him and Love joining the Cavs makes takes so much pressure off Lebron becuz he's not expected to play 5 positions and be the best defender, ball handler, distributor, scorer, rebounder, etc. He can just go play basketball. It made perfect sense

I don't think the Heat are fading as drastically as folks think...the Mavs and Spurs are both veteran squads and still awesome..these veteran guys I trust more than Kyrie/Love
