LeBron Might Return to Cleveland, Sharks Might Sprout Legs and Wage Holy War upon the Iberian Peninsula

“LeBron on playing with Cavs again: ‘You can’t predict future…If I decide to come back hopefully the fans will accept me.'” [Brian Windhorst]
“Not that I’m around him every day, but today was the most contrite I’ve heard LeBron since he left. Amazed what he said about Dan Gilbert” [Jason Lloyd]
“LeBron on Dan Gilbert: ‘He said what he said out of anger. He probably would want to take that back but I made a mistake too.'” [Brian Windhorst]
“LBJ on if he could ever play for Dan Gilbert’s team again: ‘Dan is not the coach. I’ll play for any coach. Let’s see what happens.'” [Jason Lloyd]
Have at it, commenters!
I guess the grass is always greener….
If LeBron wants to be a prodigal son one day that’s fine. When he’s covered in dirt and wants to eat broken nachos off the arena floor then we can put a jersey on him and make him our starting SF. But we all know that will never happen. It should though, Lord (Jesus) knows that LeBron’s still gonna need that ring. “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.” Luke 15:22
Boy, that Kyrie guy can play…
Maybe by the time he comes back to CLE he’ll be somewhat mature…..although doubtful…..remember what happened to the last high profile youngster LeBron was associated with? Yup, Terrelle Pryor…how’d his career turn out?

“More like disgusting. He would ruin Kyrie”
Doubtful. No one would take career advice from LeBron. But in terms of basketball X’s and O’s, it’s a great fit.
I don’t think LeBron can answer these questions any better. They won’t necessarily make him any friends in Cleveland but won’t necessarily turn any more people against him. I actually like the fact that he would even consider coming back and that he admits to making any mistakes. I think it’s both a sign of his personal growth, his realization that Cleveland was a good place for him (a lot of people leave for what they perceive as better to only learn they probaly shouldn’t have), and I also think this may be a sign that the reports the he… Read more »
And I forgot to add Barberton sucks.
Greatest comment ever hoopsdogg. I’m laughing as I type this. Platinum p###y! Great analogy. Remember Lebron always was talking up every city the Cavs had a road game in his last couple years here. He was courting everyone. This is just more of his lip service.
Appealing? More like disgusting. He would ruin Kyrie, It’s bad enough they’re even off the court friends, Kyrie doesn’t need Lebron as an influence.
I’m sure he’s just trying to defuse the anger he’ll face tomorrow. Although, the thought of him playing next to Kyrie is appealing.
LeBron’s like a girlfriend who’s always comparing the guy she’s with to other guys, whether it’s someone she might date in the future, or someone she dated in the past. Brian Windhurst is like her catty, gay friend who always posts ridiculous stuff she says on your Facebook page. The girl might have platinum p***y but would you call her in the clutch: if your car broke down in Barberton, or you needed to be bailed out in Kent? I think not.
As long as his beard stays in Miami
My thoughts on this working would be that LeBron, unarguably a top-3 player in the league – probably no. 1 – and who will probably be near that zenith at the end of his contract in Miami, would have to totally be 100% the big man here. He would have to apologize to Gilbert and the fans. This might be reciprocated by Gilbert (getting back a top 5 player can put you in a conciliatory mood), but the fans could really only cheer. It would be a huge act of humility for James, which I don’t see him making. It… Read more »
How many years are left on LeBron’s contract? Oh, 3? Okay, in 3 years I’ll be interested in whether or not LeBron wants to come back to Cleveland. This story is already old and has no relevance or significance to either the Heat or the Cavs.
I would want him to hold a one hour press conference on ESPN to apologize to Cavs fans. Sounds fair, right?
Did I miss something? Why is this conversation even happening? Is LBJ really displeased with the way things work in Miami? To the point of ALREADY discussing his future options? Who is asking him these questions he is responding to? I must have missed something…but I don’t seem to know the background here. Can anyone fill me in, even a little bit?
