Issues in Cleveland are going fairly darn properly, with a 26-15 file which has them in fourth place within the East, they might get dwelling court docket benefit if the playoffs began as we speak.
Led by Mr 71 factors, Donovan Mitchell, together with gamers just like the staff’s rebounds chief Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland, in the event that they maintain taking part in properly they’ll find yourself within the playoffs for the primary time since 1998 with out LeBron James.
However right here’s the factor: there’s rumors floating round that LeBron would possibly make a homecoming to Cleveland. Based on one exec within the Jap Convention, Cleveland is likely one of the “almost definitely” locations LeBron would find yourself if he will get traded.
All of it will depend on one participant apparently: Kevin Love. Love is the kingpin in making a homecoming occur.
Love and LeBron performed collectively in Cleveland from 2014-18 and helped the staff to 4 straight journeys to the NBA Finals and a championship in 2016.
So many reminiscences and a lot love (if you’ll) had been shared between the 2 in that point so it is sensible LeBron would need him there.
34-year-old Love is in his ninth 12 months with the Cavaliers so if they’ll supply him a contract extension after this season, particularly if it lures James there, it could properly be price it.
“That’s the almost definitely factor, if he needs all of it to finish on be aware,” the manager informed Sean Deveney. “Return to Cleveland one final time. It’s a good staff, you’ll be able to win, and it’s the place it began. Nobody’s going to hate him for going to Cleveland once more. The trick is getting the numbers to match up, should you may do one thing with Kevin Love’s contract, that might be the important thing.”
Think about LeBron sliding into that open wing spot on the Cavs’ roster and being surrounded by up-and-coming stars.
He’d need to do rather a lot lower than he’s doing for the Lakers now, that’s for certain.
It might be a win-win for everybody.
However we’ll simply have to attend and see what occurs.
