I get it the decision hurt but how many times can the NBA try to make up for it by giving them a top tier pick? They are fucking Cleveland they'll find a way somehow to fuck it up like always. It's in their DNA they can't help it.

The NBA just clinched an interesting offseason now with Lebron. I think it was a longshot he leaves Miami but with the #1 pick going to Cleveland again there is a good chance Lebron might go there now.
Cavs third #1 pick and fifth top 4 pick since Lebron left. -
Are you high?

Give it a rest. The NBA has nothing to gain by giving Cleveland the top pick.

Agreed. If it was Boston or LA I'd be all in on the conspiracy front. But Cleveland? Again?RoadDawg55 said:Give it a rest. The NBA has nothing to gain by giving Cleveland the top pick.
Adam Silver is no David Stern. And that's a good thing. -
Good for LeBron if he goes back (I doubt he's playing for Gilbert). They still won't be a contender. You are pressing. They got lucky. It benefits the NBA more if the Lakers or Celtics got the #1.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Lebron going back to Cleveland and winning a title would be a ginormous story that most of you guys lack the foresight to understand.
With Miami aging it appears their title window is closing while in Cleveland he'll have Kyrie and Embiid. Also Lebron can opt in his contract play another year in Miami while Cleveland loads up another lottery pick. -
It would be a huge story. They would need to re-tool the whole roster. Irving is one of the worst defensive players in the league, Bennett is a bum, and their bigs suck excluding varejau who can't stay healthy.He_Needs_More_Time said:Lebron going back to Cleveland and winning a title would be a ginormous story that most of you guys lack the foresight to understand.

Not to mention, LeBron is probably on the downside of his career. He will still be very good for 5-6 more years, but his best days will be behind him soon. Embiid or Wiggin will need 2 years before they are ready to win in the playoffs. Who was the last rookie or 2nd year guy to play a major role on a contender. Other than Kawhi Leonard, I can't think of one.
LeBron is better off in Miami or Chicago than Cleveland. Wade and Bosh have 2 years left. They can make minor changes to the roster and remain a contender than make a splash and get another star to pair with LeBron once those guy's deals are up.

Lebron on the downside is a stretch. I mean he's still easily the best player in the game and will remain that for probably another two seasons if not three.
Durant can't do the things that Lebron can do.
Also Tim Duncan another former #1 pick was in his second year when they won the title. Kobe Bryant was in year four but didn't really play as a rookie. -
Living in Cleveland or living in Miami, hmm. Dude already got his titles.
