Lebron James is my favorite basketball player and until he signs with a different team I will be his fan but at this point I really don’t care if Lebron comes back to Cleveland. Yes, I would like him to be there but all this free agency speculation is tiring and I have reached my wits end. I understand that he wants to be recruited and shown the “love” but at the end of the day to me this whole experience shows me a lot about him as a man and so far Lebron the Man is towards the bottom of my list of people to respect. The biggest reason for this is because of the one problem that nobody seems to talk about the reason we have such a lack of roster flexibility and cap space is because he has been demanding that we make moves each season that loses us picks and cap space and leaves us with temporary answers to our problems.
Danny Ferry knew that to keep Lebron happy he had to make moves the thing that people fail to realize is that because of this the Cavs are now stuck with aging veterans who work well with Lebron but would be next to nothing without him. Since Lebron James has come to Cleveland they have only had one lottery pick and yes they wasted it on Luke Jackson, but that shouldn’t be such a huge issue all teams miss sometimes. Sportscasters always say that these other teams had GM’s who made better decisions than Ferry for example Oklahoma City and Chicago but the reality is that all these other teams had stars with less of an ego who were willing to lose a little to grow with the team. Kevin Durant it a perfect example of that, while he is no Lebron James in terms of impacting the whole game with some more hard work and a couple more years under his belt he will only be a few steps behind, yet he stays out of running the team letting his GM do what he’s paid to do and yes he has endured a couple hard years but it is now paying off with solid young core to play with for years.
Lebron James is a great basketball player who will go on to be one of the greatest athletes of all-time but if he leaves Cleveland it just shows a huge lack of loyalty to fans who have endured so much heartbreak. If you truly knew you didn’t want to be back why let this go on for so long just tell the fans that its been great and let us move on there is no need for the fans who have supported him since 10th grade to be held in suspense like this. If Lebron James leaves Cleveland, yes it hurt but only for a minute because I’m from Cleveland, OH everyone has seen the montage of our history of losses we’ve endured worst, yesterday a friend asked me how would you feel if Lebron left? My response was simple, it’ll be okay I’m from Cleveland we lost a whole team before. (Cleveland Browns)
