Here's a fun rumor that probably has already outlived its worth. LeBron James back to Cleveland! (Note: this is from Sam Amico, the same guy that floated the rumor of Paul Pierce to the Lakers. Sam is a nice guy, but sometimes his rumors just make me shake my head.)
Cleveland return in LeBron's future?
Now, there is talk that James is less-than-thrilled with certain aspects of the Heat organization. Sources in Miami say that while James still thoroughly enjoys playing alongside fellow stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, he doesn’t particularly care for the heavy-handed and disciplined style of team president Pat Riley. James can opt out of his contract at the end of the 2013-14 season, and speculation is he will strongly consider it if Riley remains in his current role. And the team James would be eyeballing most in free agency, say those close to the situation, would be the Cavs.
Apparently Brian Windhorst thinks there could be some small chance that this could happen someday. In related news, ...I got nothing. I can't come up with a less believable analogy. You are on your own.

remember the Lebron - Anakin comparisons?
I always thought that would be cool if Lebron returned to Cleveland, defeated Miami in the ECF, and led Cleveland to a championship

'Disagree that it would be cool for Lebron to ever win a championship.
Sure, it may be inevitable. But it will not be ‘cool’. Imho, of course.

Last thing I would want to see. He doesn’t deserve it.

why not?

Lafraud is my least favorite player, can’t stand anything he say’s. It was kind of a punk move leaving Cleveland like he did, it was his right as a player, but a punk move.

while we are at it lets send KG back to
Minny so he can beat the celtics in the finals

They better win it this year
Because if they fail again, there will be so much talk next year, I can’t even imagine.

I dont think the people of Cleveland want him back though after the decision.

so you’ve never had an ex dump you and you spend an unhealthy amount of time wishing and hoping the ex will want you back.
it’d be the same thing. Unhealthy. Stupid. Doomed to failure again. But the same thing.

Will they also bring back their old unis and logo to replace the current ugly one?
Rany - January 25, 2012
don't know
I kinda like the wine colored unis – especially now that I don’t hate the players anymore

The Decision Part II
“In this Fall, I’m taking my talents to the City of Akron, and joining the Cleveland Cavaliers.”

Well apparently I don't know how to use hyphens.
But yea, you get the fail point!

Summer 2014
Lebron (now completely bald): " I decideds to opts out of my contracts with the miami heat, and I decideds to take my talents back to C-Town and be a member of the Cavs… it just wasnt the same down in south beach, I mean D-Wade missed like 328 games while I was down there, and Chris always just disappeared right before playoffs started every year … my goal is to not only win games, but to win these great fans back (crickets chirp in an empty cafegymatorium in Akron), and I mean fans, not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7…"

Haha
You know it really eats him up inside being the villian of South Beach. As crazy as this sounds I could see it happening. LeBron wants so badly for people to love him, what better to shed the villain image then go back home?
