There is a “growing belief” from teams competing to sign LeBron James that him returning to the Cavs is the “scenario to beat,” per @TheSteinLine.

Rich Paul on the Positives and Negative of LeBron going back to Cleveland
Positives: Big X factor, Brandon Weems. Brandon Weems is basically LeBron’s brother... That is a big feather in the cap
Negative: The negative is, no knock to Harden, but no Garland. He loves Garland like he loves Maxey
A part of the Lee jenkins piece He wrote when he returned in 2014. One part always stood
out and made me think he would return and still stands out
"I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there."
sure he left after saying this but that part can still be true ... Dont over think this, hes hiring a documentary crew
The King is coming home
Cavs have about 184 million Commited to the team as of today. 2nd apron is 222 Million. If you do a package of Allen and Strus for PJ washington and Gafford it saves you about 7.5 millon
That would trim you down to About 177 million in team salaries. Now you Figure out Lebron and Hardens money. If Lebron could Do 15 million and Harden does 25 million
You are at 217 million With one roster spots to fill and about 4-5 million to play with.
Harden Donovan Lebron PJ Mobley
Dennis Merrill Tyson Gafford (4-5 Mill signing)
Craig Proctor Meleek Tomlin Bryant
Thats a solid roster and under the 2nd apron. If you move dennis into a cap space team you could have 19-20 mill to play with to sign 2 guys ( think MLE targets like Rui and a vet min or just two solid guys around 8-10 mill)
I would love to see koby do something like this if possible. If love to keep allen and strus but a swap saving a little bit of money can make it SO much easier to achieve the goals we want this summer
thoughts?
if LeBron was ever going to leave the Lakers it was always to return home. If he ever made that 100% known they would only offer him the minimum
acting like Golden State is an option is putting a little bit of pressure on the cavs to create a little bit more flexibility in terms of money like dumping strus+dennis to be able to sign LeBron for around 15-20 million.
The king is coming home.
Mark my words
In his Harden story, @joevardon says Harden’s yearly salary could be in 32-38M range (Previously reported by Vardon to be in the 28-30M range)
Vardon editing his story and going from 28-30M a season to 32-38M a cause for concern? What does everyone think?
According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst:
LeBron James number one priority next season is “happiness and not money”, per @WindhorstESPN
who do we want cavs fam??? Give me trevon brazile or bust
Hopefully we dont trade out tonight
The name and the team that came back to me a lot: Evan Mobley and the Cleveland Cavaliers,” - @SIChrisMannix on what he’s heard from teams on who the Celtics might be interested in for Jaylen Brown
Seeing alot of people saying they wouldnt want JB in a swap for mobley if hes moved to milwaukee.
Why?
Hes a two way player, locked up for years, and would be our BEST player and is a WING
Thats literally everything we have been wanting and needing.
Giving up mobley is tough but brown is better and locked up for years. Plays a more premium position.
Keep the cheaper productive big in allen and allocate evans money to the wing. All you need is a bobby portis type trade after and this roster would be set as well with the 29th selection in the draft
its a no brainer if it was possible
According to Shams:
There is a mystery team that the Milwaukee Bucks feel comfortable dealing Giannis to, per @ShamsCharania.
Could this mystery team be the cavs?
i've said this a few times over the years but I really just want the Cavs to pick a timeline
if you're gonna commit to winning a championship with Mitchell then do whatever it takes to maximize winning with Mitchell like trading Mobley for Giannis or Jaylen Brown
Or just move Mitchell for an absolute haul and let's start building around Mobley for a different iteration of the future
playing both sides very rarely works where you're trying to win but not fully maximizing it while trying to preserve some of the future you just have to pick a lane and go full
Giannis
Jaylen Brown
Kawhi
Trey Murphy
Herb Jones
Saddiq Bey
Pj washington
Naji marshall
Bobby portis
Anybody Im missing that you guys would like to target?
if we are truly entering the Victor Wembanyama era
One of the best pieces in the NBA to have is evan mobley
that is all
Window improvement questions.
recently moved into a new home and the windows from the inside looked beautiful and fairly new
The outdoor frames look a little shaky when you get close and look like they could either need replaced or caulking. I don't really know anything about windows or what I'm looking at so just trying to get some general opinions on if theres anythint that needs done.
I attached some pictures from what it looks like on the inside , but also the outside

Milwaukee wants evan

Should be pretty clear to koby who we should be building around
