Did you notice who’s not in the picture?
mike longabardi, you’d have the pan the camera down a couple feet to get a glimpse of the elf.

Meh Vegas bets flip-flop, I bet they didn't see lebron leaving miami and coming home in the first place. That said if we land P.G all that will changeThe past few years Vegas had the Cavs as always the clear favorite as to where Lebron would resign each year. Now today Vegas has the Lakers and 76ers the favorites as to where Lebron will sign. Cleveland is the 7th team at +7000. So that means if you were to wager or bet $100 that Lebron would resign with Cleveland and he did, you would win $7,000 on a $100.00. Somebody knows something, and it certainly doesn't look good at all for the Cavs. Sorry to say
Maybe I'm just a greedy man. And don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for that title.
But honestly? It's kinda disappointing we just got one ring out of it. When Miami got two with LB in just 4 years.
I know, I know, the fucking Warriors blowing up to be this good and the Durant thing kinda fucked us.
But let's be honest, we did a lot of grave digging ourselves.
You have LeBron James, in the prime of his career, playing some of the best basketball anyone has ever played.
That right there means you can always be in the race of winning it all, if you just don't self destruct. Unfortunately, we did, but at least we got a title out of it.
Something we can always cherish. Just sad the gravy train is over though.
Dan Wetzel had an article for Yahoo Sports.
Mentioned some hard hitting stuff, some harsh but lot of truth as well. Was a brutal read!
"CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Cavaliers rode LeBron James to the 2016 NBA championship, and when you represent a city that hadn’t won squat since 1964, well, yeah, that counts for a lot.
So, they’ll always have that, at least. They’ll always have LeBron’s block and Kyrie Irving’s three and a parade that saw all of Northeast Ohio turn out.
And that’s about all they’ll have.
Around here they label their sporting failures with brief descriptions, so they can be summoned and cursed quickly. The Drive. The Fumble. The Shot.
Maybe the greatest disaster in Cleveland sports history, though, is this one:- The Incompetence.
The Cavs drafted LeBron James in 2003, and all these years later it seems all they’ll have to show for it is one NBA title.
One."

11 Years of the greatest basketball player ever. And, just one NBA title. Its sad!
I agree he was good at managing egos and I wanted him back too. It was reported he wanted more power and the way he talks on podcasts he sees himself as a Pop or Pat Riley type. He compares himself as the stability of those two. We don't know what exactly he asked for in terms of power but if you look at Pop and Riley they have full control of the organization and you rarely hear anything from the owner.
I know some people want Gilbert to step back and just let a guy like Griff run all the decision making which I get from a basketball perspective. The thing is the reason Gilbert is willing to go into the luxury tax and foot such a expensive roster is he feel he is part of the decision making process. Take that away and maybe Gilbert isn't such a generous owner.
I may be in the minority, but Lebron, George, and the rest of the young lakers (Ingram, Kouzma, and Ball) would be a pretty nice team. It’s also crazy to think we almost had George on the team this year, and if that happened there is no way both Lebron and George would’ve left cleveland to sign in LAi still don't see why the lakers are so high. i'd say he has a better shot of winning a title with a retooled cavs team than going to LA with PG, unless they bring someone else with them

Honestly, I'm the complete opposite.But honestly? It's kinda disappointing we just got one ring out of it. When Miami got two with LB in just 4 years.
Jordan gave his franchise 6, Duncan 5, Kobe 5, Magic 5, Bird 3.
These are considered some of the greatest of all-time.
LB just one. And it's because we seemingly did everything in our power to inhibit it.
The constant bombings in the draft. The misuse of assets we gain, the franchise never showing any patience ever, and always cashing in NOW, and it at times just completely backfired.
This is why we're only in this position of winning at all, because of honest luck, than anything truly good the franchise has done itself.
This franchise is not cursed, they're the opposite. They're really fucking lucky, but still can't get out of their own way in fucking the lots of luck they've been granted.
We only have ourselves to blame. The organization to be honest. No woe me shit.
They put us in this position we're in now more than anything else that happen.
Sure the Durant shit sucks, but that was bad luck for A LOT of teams, not just us.
Mr Ty Lue.Did you notice who’s not in the picture?
Monday morning quarterback....
Cavs aren’t sitting on four titles because kyrie and got hurt...
And Durant joined a 73 win team. Some of you guys are gluttons for punishment....

Kyrie and love don’t get hurt in 2015-we take the title.
The warriors don’t get the cap space to turn Harrison Barnes in to Kevin Durant... we take the title even with kyrie demanding a trade and not being on the 18 team.
It just is what it is. The curse is over. A million nba fans would chop their right arm to watch their team win one title.. enjoy it.
