I don't think LeBron will leave the Cavs. Although the new ownership group did make a bad move with the Izzo thing and Lebron not being able to talk. The only team I could see him going to is the Nets. Sure I would love him in a Knicks jersey but that will never happen. The Nets have alto of business reasons long term for him not shit ring potential. Chicago, although it has a perfect team set up for him just has too much of a legacy to match or beat. He would need to win 7 rings there to make it worthwhile and that just ain't happening in the modern NBA. Meanwhile if he brings one championship to the Nets and they move to Brooklyn he would be one of the biggest NBA saviors of all time.
But at the end of the day I think he stays in Cleveland.
What will be more interesting is to see where all the other free agents land. It's gonna be an entirely new NBA next year that is for sure.
Side Note: As a Knicks fan I think their best chances are to land Amare and Joe Johnson and have DeAntoni run his old style Phoenix Suns deal to just outscore the fuck out of the East. All they would need is one good point guard int here and with the rest of the team the Knicks have already they would be a lock for the eastern conference championship series at least.
