I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

The only place I could see him leaving Miami for is his home. Can't blame him.

My post was just a poke at Rustshack but Id completely disagree with you if Embiids health werent a factor. With how talented all 3 of them are they'll all be on NBA rosters if healthy

Per Browns Forum

Just heard on 92.3 @DustinFox37 claiming that Rich Paul is telling "everyone" that Lebron is coming back to #Cleveland. #NBA #Cavs

[lcarus]

And by that i mean id believe Embiid was the most capable of becoming a dominant force than the other two if not the health questions. He should be fine though

Doesn't mean LeBron can't wind up in Cleveland, of course, but source insists today's billboard story is purely a Twitter tale

Dude you have to see some of the Cavs message boards. Its like watching thousands of Rusts, Zillas, and penbrooks on one site. Complete witch hunt with utterbullshit.

You know what else was a twitter fairy tale? Dwight staying with Orlando...right before he said he wanted out of there and wanted to be a Laker. A lot of it was brought on by local Orlando writers and Magic teammates on twitter. So you never know. My money has been on Cleveland since the start. Lebrons too much of an egomaniac to not wanna play hero to the home state he ditched for a couple buy-a-rings.

Meltdown imminent from either side.

Nope. Just another example of you guys for whatever reason over exaggerating what I say. I said both have shots at being 2nd round picks. Which they did have a shot, it just didn't happen. Only Iowa State player I've said would be drafted whs Royce. Granted I said he was talented enough to be in the lottery, and I still believe he was... He just fell to 17 for obvious reasons.

He may very well come back to Cleveland. Wouldn't really surprise me. But Wade, Bosh and Haslem opting out really sent the message that they would get the gang back together. If not, those three probably got a bit snowballed by LeBron. It will work out for Bosh (i.e. takes max with Cleveland), but not sue what it would mean to Wade. I think Haslem gets that money whether he's on the roster or a member of their front office.

Not sure Heat fans would lose it like Cavs fans will. Heat have had tremendous success over the last 10-15 years. Cleveland on the other hand.....

There would be a lot of bandwagon Heat fans across the country not sure what to do with their Heat gear though.

Itd be mean but id laugh harder at Cavs fans than I did after Orlando beat their bitch asses down in the ECF and everyone BUT them knew Lebron was as good as gone. But dont get too upset if it doesnt happen Cavs fans. You have a good young team in a weak conference even if he spurns you. Again.

Yup. Cleveland will melt down if he doesn't go back. Heat fans will just become Cavs fans if he goes back.

Relax, Francis. I have never said LeBron is coming to Cleveland. I ripped on you because you outright 100% confidently said he was not at all interested in Cleveland. And I believe the way this has dragged out, if it isn't Cleveland, then he should have at least shooshed some of the rumors long ago.

I never said he's going to Cleveland and have said all thread along it's a mystery.
