Cleveland Cavaliers

It would easy to suggest that Cleveland Cavaliers wish that LeBron James never leaves the city again. Nobody wants to see him flee unless it’s to their team. That being said, LeBron James is not going anywhere. He will perhaps remain a Cav for the rest of his career. Hopefully, he does not lose his mind before he retires.

LeBron James has taken on the full load in Cleveland. As we all know he is the best player, but how has gone about leading the team should be given more press than it is. LeBron is calling player-only meetings during loses, he is getting on his teammates for their focus, he is doing everything you would want your leader to do – lead. Now he, along with Cavs fans want to finally hoist a championship in the rafters. In order for that to happen Kyrie Irving has to return and show no effects from his surgically repaired kneecap. A healthy Irving enhances the Cavaliers title chances.

When Irving comes back the Cavaliers have to hope that good health will follow them as they pursue the NBA title. Not only did Cleveland not have Kyrie Irving for last season’s finals, they were without Kevin Love as well. Missing two-star players would hurt any team, even one led by LeBron James.

NBA championship or not, those who fear that LeBron is going to leave Cleveland must be advised that this is his hand-picked team. He will cash in big for what could be his final contract in the Association.
