LeBron James Uncertain: Will The King's Reign Return To Kyrie Irving's Cavaliers?

I can't believe this rumor persists and that anyone not living in Ohio believes it.
He left to win championships and until the Cavs show they have a shot, he ain't coming back, at least make the playoffs.
I see him eventually returning the same way Jerry Rice went back to the 49ers: to retire.

Dan started talking crazy after game 5 against Boston
Wasn't the article I was looking for, but the vibe is there
Dan Gilbert says LeBron James 'quit' during the playoffs
on July 09, 2010 at 6:18 AM, updated July 09, 2010 at 8:57 AM
CLEVELAND - Angered and betrayed by LeBron James' decision to leave for Miami, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert accused the NBA's MVP of quitting during the playoffs.
Gilbert, who posted a letter to Cavs fans on the team's website shortly after James announced his plans to sign with the Heat, told The Associated Press late Thursday night that it's "accountability time" for James.
"He has gotten a free pass," Gilbert said in a phone interview with The AP. "People have covered up for (James) for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."
Gilbert feels James quit on the Cavs during their second-round series against the Boston Celtics, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to eliminate Cleveland.
"He quit," Gilbert said. "Not just in Game 5, but in Games 2, 4 and 6. Watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar."
The Cavaliers were beaten by 32 points in Game 5. During the game, James appeared distracted and uninterested, often glaring at Cleveland's coaches as the Cavs tried to foul to get back into the game in the second half. James also made some puzzling postgame comments, saying he had "spoiled" people with his play over seven seasons.
Gilbert also said he believes James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of their series in 2009 against Orlando.
"Go back and look at the tape," he said. "How many shots did he take?"
Gilbert, who has owned the Cavs for five years, said he was most disappointed by James' behavior in the months leading up to the superstar's announcement that he is going to Miami to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Gilbert said James never returned a single phone message or text since the end of the season and that the Cavs were not informed of James' decision until he went on the air.
Gilbert said Rich Paul, one of James' business partners, called the Cavs moments before the announcement.
"LeBron James needs to go to another team with two superstars already so he can win a championship," Gilbert said. "We will win a championship before (the Heat) do."
Gilbert said he now wishes he had done some things differently with James, who spent seven seasons with the Cavs.
"It's not about him leaving," Gilbert said. "It's the disrespect. It's time for people to hold these athletes accountable for their actions. Is this the way you raise your children? I've been holding this all in for a long time."
In Miami, Wade said he was stunned by Gilbert's comments.
"I think I'm happy that I have the owner that I have here in Miami," Wade told The Associated Press late Thursday night. "I'm happy Micky Arison is my owner. I couldn't believe it. I'm speechless. It's very unfortunate and I think it makes LeBron that much better about his decision.
"We knew 'Bron would take some backlash," Wade added in his interview with AP. "I told him he's a strong man for it."

Another ‘decision’ looms for Miami Heat’s LeBron James
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh say they want to finish their careers in Miami, but LeBron James has been noncommittal.*
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/06/25/3468587/another-decision-looms-for-miami.html
The questions already have begun, more than a year before there will be any definitive answers.
LeBron James — who, like teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, can opt out of contracts and become free agents in the summer of 2014 — was noncommittal when asked about that topic by CNN.
“I don’t know, because I haven’t really even thought about it,” James said in an interview that aired Monday. “So when that moment comes up, I will approach it, like a professional, and we’ll see what happens.”
During 2010 free agency, James was criticized for announcing his plans “to take my talents to South Beach” during a 60-minute ESPN special, The Decision, that raised money for a Boys and Girls Club.
“You learn from your mistakes,” James said. “That’s something I’ve lived with, and if the opportunity comes if I’m in that position [again], I’ll be able to handle it much differently.”
Bosh said recently he wants to spend the rest of his career here. And Wade said Monday he will probably be in Miami “for the rest of my life, in this amazing city.”
James will not speak to reporters until Tuesday. Wade spoke Monday and said the three players have not discussed their long-term plans, “just like we never even envisioned we would play together until free agency came about, and it became a reality.
“Now, we’re in the middle of this great, historic team and run and we’re enjoying it and you don’t want it to come to an end. But you can’t think about the future. When that time comes after next season, when we have to sit down and talk about the futures and what direction they’re going in, hopefully they’re all going in the same direction. We’ll do what we did in 2010 — sit down as men and talk about it.”
An associate of James said he would make Miami the strong favorite to retain him in 2014, with Cleveland potentially also drawing some consideration. But the associate also cautioned that a year before free agency in 2010, nobody would have made the Heat the front-runner.
By opting out next summer, James can earn more than the $20.59 million he’s due in 2014-15 or the $22.1 million he would earn in 2015-16 if he exercises that year’s player option. Bosh’s contract is identical financially to James’ deal.
Wade’s contract, if he eschews opting out, would call for $20.048 million in 2014-15 and $21.56 million in 2015-16.
Opting out also would give any of them the ability to add additional seasons to their contracts.
But before any of those decisions, the Heat will try to become just the fourth franchise (and sixth team overall) to win three titles in a row, joining the 1952-54 Minneapolis Lakers, the 1991-93 and 1996-98 Chicago Bulls, the 2000-2002 Los Angeles Lakers and the 1959-1966 Boston Celtics, who won eight in a row.
“Magic Johnson has five rings, and he never won three in a row,” Wade said. “That shows how tough it is. We’re going to be back next year hungry again to try to place ourselves in history.
“Winning back-to-backs is special; winning back to back to back would be something out of this world. That will be our goal: How do we come back and muster up enough to keep us focused and … hungry throughout this season to get back in a position to win another championship?”
FRIENDLY FIGHT
During the Heat’s post-parade celebration inside AmericanAirlines Arena, Wade cracked: “Me and LeBron were about to fight in Game 6.”
Wade, who is close friends with James, was asked about that later in the day.
“When you are in moment and every possession counts and someone messes up or someone feels like someone messes up — not block out or turn the ball over — you give each other death stares. You complain. We had a moment of each other of back and forth. Our teammates were looking at us like, ‘We don’t see this often.’ But we wanted to win so bad. After that, we move on.”
RESTING HIS KNEES
Wade said he has been advised to give his knees a month of rest. After that, his focus will be on rebuilding strength in his legs.
Wade said the discomfort in his right knee — which had three bone bruises — “was terrible” during the first three rounds, especially in the Indiana series.
It improved in the Finals, after “our trainers started treating it a little different.”
His left knee, which was injured in a Game 6 collision with Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, required “painful” draining last Wednesday and hours of treatment Thursday, the day of Game 7. He reiterated he doesn’t expect to need surgery.
THIS AND THAT
• Wade said he felt his 2006 championship was for Alonzo Mourning and Gary Payton “and those guys who played so long and never won,” and the 2012 title was “LeBron’s [because] he never won one. Get that monkey off his back.”
But Wade said this championship “is for me. There’s not a lot of players in that category of winning three. I wanted to be there for the legacy I’m building.”
Said Udonis Haslem: “With those knees, he can have it.”
• Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said this championship “felt more challenging.”
• Spoelstra showed his team another replica NBA championship trophy before and during the playoffs; the Heat made check marks on it after each win.
“It’s more of a contract, promises we made to each other each,” he said. “We would bring it out from time to time to remind ourselves of the promises.”
Spoelstra said it was marked blood red for the Bulls and Pacers because “the series were so dang physical,” and silver for the Spurs series “out of ultimate respect for our competitor.”
• Shane Battier will conduct player interviews during ESPN’s NBA Draft coverage on Thursday.

More fodder and lack of comprehension from the resident sizer troll
Bosh wants a max contract which he probably won't get and he put his home up for sale
Yet he says he wants to stay in Miami yeah if he gets another max contract Lmaoooo
Bosh and Wade don't have leverage
bron does and when u have leverage you don't commit to anything until that paper right...
Op need to go back to school and learn contractual negotiations 101
Players with 0 leverage always commit early

Theres a reason why LeBron never sold his crib in Ohio fellas...
cause he's from Ohio and will prolly retire there...
and where is the exact quote of what Gilbert said?
all that, "basically he said" stuff could be opinion based on interpretation. what is the EXACT quote?

naw homie..it was posted on this board... Gilbert was WAY out of line regardless of how Lebron played the situation. Lebron going back to Cleveland would be one of the biggest stories in sports period...especially if he won one there and I'm sure he thinks about it....but man...Gilbert probably made it an ever longer shot with that rant.
I think Pat Riley will make the right moves to keep him around. It would be easier if Wade opts out and takes less money, but considering he's already injured, I just don't see why he would do that. In the grand scheme of things, the little money that lebron is leaving on the table (little to him) gets made up in other wade. Brand managers are already saying him winning back to back titles is worth almost an additional 10 million a year in endorsements. I think as long as Miami keeps winning he'll keep taking the lower contract because he'll make the money up in other ways anyway.
While not most conducive to winning chips...
...I think the ne plus ultra should get every red cent they can. They generate so much revenue for CAC owners and local businesses - which are mostly owned by someone other than blacks - and to think they are leaving money on the table?
I know winning adds to a players bottom line, but that is so chancy, to me.
I think a lot of players sacrificed for the sake of winning, looked back, and regretted it.
But, whatever.

Basically! These Dudes get all sensitive if you have a different viewpoint than them which is cool! Time will tell. It is what it s.
But... The other two 'stars' have hedges they want to stay. Haven't guaranteed anything but have given positive reinforcement to their desires! LeBron...
And your doing a great job of deflecting nervous tension... With the small subset of the entire post you quoted, not one single line states his desire to stay in Miami! Handle your business son, hope it makes you feel better...
The fact that just because I disagree with you guys concerning an article that I didn't write causes you to refer to me as a hater or a troll really shows how weak minded and nervous yall are and it doesn't take away the very real possibility he could leave miami no matter how many feel good theories you post!

You do realize D Town Rep "admits" to pulling for teams other than the Mavs in the 90s. He only gets mad when people pull for LeBron. Dude is just a Jordan jocker mad we give it up for the current champ. But of course he gone lie and say he had that Popeye Jones jersey in the 90s.

Damn you gonna hit him with the Popeye Jones reference!?
Damn you gonna hit him with the Popeye Jones reference!?
Yesterday his exact words "I pulled for Barkley over the Bulls, I pulled for Kemp over the Bulls. Those were my favorite players"
Neither played for the Mavs. His ass should've been riding for Popeye and Shawn Bradley. Not nut hopping from Barkley & Kemp. A "real fan" wouldnt do that. See cats like D-Town only play this "purist" game they learned watching CACs is when it comes to Inkosi. Its OK for him to dickride Jordan, Kobe, whoever and still swear he's a "Mavs faithful". I dont think it was the Mavs though that he swore was gone be in the Finals last offseason.
Chances are D-Town had nothing to do with the Mavs in the 90s. They were PERENNIAL LOSERS. And the Cowboys was winning at that time too. Dude was a Bulls/Cowboys fan like the ninja he hating on in this thread. He probably still think he got more in common with Jordan though.

On the humble, good bad or fucked up I ride with the Sixers! Been a season ticket holder since the year before AI showed up! They suck right now but I still rep them. That being said, I appreciate great players too, and LeBron is one of my top 5 players in the league (along with Durant, Kobe, Jrue, and Kyrie). I've gone on record here that I was pulling for LeBron to win another Chip! Not a Heat hater at all, just hate D Wades bitchass!
I don't switch teams though. No matter how fucked up my Sixers are right now I will always rep them and be at the Center for every game, along with the other 20 motherfuckers in attendance!

All I ask is for dudes to be consistent.
Dude will cake up wit Knicks fans in they threads, not one word about "hey you aint supposed to be pulling for Melo, you supposed to be a Nugget fan! You bandwagoning! You clowns!"
When it come to LeBron, he stay crying we aint supposed to be pulling for him or how hurt he is by it. Sound just like a European. We not suppose to support "runaway slaves".
