Looks like this is legit. And if all they need to give away is Jack they are instantly the favorite to win the East. I think he should go home. It would make for a great story and I believe Lebron has 4-6 more great years left so they could be really good for a while.
He is taking a huge risk by going back. Depending on Wiggins to produce at a high level so early in his career, depending on Irving staying healthy and functioning off the ball at least for part of the time, depending on Thompson and Bennett to improve (a lot), depending on Waiters to find an effective role, depending on Spencer Hawes, depending on Varejao to stay healthy, depending on a rookie coach that has never spent a minute in the NBA....

all at a time when he should be reducing his minutes as he gets more wear and tear on body...

There better be plans to add another really good player because
that team isnt getting through San Antonio or OKC or Houston if they add Bosh.

They are taking a ton of $$$ to win it all in Vegas. I agree that those 3 teams from the West would be tough, but they would likely steamroll the East. And with Lebron and Irving and some athleticism inside I think anything could happen in a 7 game series.

You always overrate Cleveland.

Chuck if you were Lebron where would you go right now?
I would go to Cleveland and not look back. At least all the youth makes them a wild card. Miami is what it is, and unless Wade somehow got healthy they would lose in the Finals again. Thats if they even get by Indiana again.

Chuck just because he bashes Melo and realizes Lebron for what he is does not make him clueless. But its clear why you say so, you have to be Melo's biggest defender.....

He realizes LeBron for what he is? What exactly is that?
Please if you want to be clueless just continue on the path of the popular myths.

Cowherd is like the guy at the old OTB's without TV's that describes how the jockey of the horse he bet on screwed up despite not actual seeing the race. Generally all the others who bet in the same horse would shake their heads in agreement. That would be you

So I've been in Vegas this week checking out summer games and I wanted share a couple of thoughts.

Dante Exum-I just don't see it. He looks so overmatched. Can't shoot at all.

Julius Randle-Hasn't impressed me. I like his ability to put the ball on the ground but he's not finishing and he's been kinda weak on the boards.

Jabari Parker-About as advertised. Has a great offensive feel and has held his own on the boards. Like that he can grab a board and push it up himself and put pressure on the defense.

Noah Vonleh-I see nothing at all.

Andrew Wiggins-Very athletic but very raw. Not in the camp that says he'll be a superstar. Shot is bad and I don't see a lot of instinct. Defense is good though and will keep him on the floor and hopefullly, the offense comes.

Nerlens Noel-A serious player. He's as thin as a pencil but his defensive instincts are like a young Hakeem Olajuwon. His offense is a little raw but it's gonna come. He's my summer choice for rookie of the year.

Zach Levine-Has totally shocked and impressed me. Shoots better than I expected. Takes good shots. Makes good passes. Plays off the ball. Extremely explosive. Plays with a poise and mturity that you don't expect based on his experience.

Doug McDermott-Not Adam Morrison. Dude can play. Very nice shot and handled himself ok on the glass and on defense. The kind of player that could help any team.

If the draft were held now, Parker would go first, Levine second, Wiggins third. Well, Embiid first if healthy.
