LeBron James Returns To The Cleveland Cavaliers. Says, “I’m Coming Home.”

NBA Superstar LeBron James has shook up the NBA world once again. In an very detailed and well thought out essay posted on Sports Illustrated (As Told To Lee Jenkins), “The King” has announced that he is coming home and returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers after leaving them 4 years ago to chase titles with D’wyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Miami Heat. This move has affected and shifted the entire landscape of the NBA as free agency has been held up waiting for LeBron’s Decision 2.0 and Carmelo Anthony, who still as of now, has not announced what team he will sign with. Cleveland fans are rejoicing all over as this is the the story of legend. The basketball world is buzzing and there could be even more to buzz about in Cleveland as there is speculation that the Cavs are trying to make a deal with The Minnesota Timberwolves to bring Kevin Love to Cleveland making a “Big Three” of their own featuring LeBron, Love, & Irving. So many headlines and stories will come of this… “The Prodigal Son Returns”, “The Return Of The King”, how will this affect the rest of free agency? How will this affect the landscape of the NBA itself? These questions and more will be asked about LeBron’s homecoming, but the most important story and question will be, will championships come with him?

Did Carmelo Secretly Tell Bulls Fans He’s Coming To Chicago???!!!

 

Did Carmelo Secretly Tell Bulls Fans He’s Coming To Chicago???!!! Did New York Knicks Superstar Carmelo Anthony hint to Bulls fans that he just may be wearing their team’s uniform next season? Well, not directly, but Melo did have a very intriguing tweet recently that has some NBA fans thinking the 7 time All-Star has already made a decision about what team he’s going to play for when he hits free agency this upcoming summer. While promoting a pair of his Jordan Melo M10 shoes, Anthony said “Really into this colorway for the @Jumpman23 M10 #ThisisMelo #RiseToTheMoment.” Reading that, you’d say, oh that’s nothing. But the colorway is Red, White, and Black. Bulls Baby!!!! LOL. This led to a few responses to the tweet with some people feeling like Carmelo was basically saying he’s digging the Red, White and Black because he plans on wearing those colors next year as a member of the Chicago Bulls, some even threw out the Heat but I don’t think that’s happening. If Carmelo is wearing those colors on the basketball court next season it will indeed be as a Chicago Bull. A lot can happen between now and then and Melo has a potential $129 Miilion to gain by staying in New York. That’s a lot to walk away from for any person. I personally don’t see the Knicks being good in the next year or two though, maybe even longer if they can’t sign a major free agent in the summer of 2015. So if Carmelo truly wants to win maybe he would consider doing what LeBron, and Chris Bosh did a few years ago. Go to another franchise  that could provide an opportunity to win an NBA Championship immediately, have a player option put in the deal so you can opt early (most likely after 3 years) and get the big payday then. So, no one knows where Carmelo is going to end up after this or what else is going to happen this summer, but one thing is for sure… with an NBA Playoffs that should be very exciting and fresh with a lot of new faces and teams in the hunt, multiple major stars possibly being on the free agent market, and potentially one of the deepest NBA Drafts in the last decade, the summer of 2014 is going to be EXTREMELY interesting. Sidenote: I noticed The Chicago Bulls follow Carmelo ANthony on Twitter. I know they probably follow other players as well but it’s just something I noticed.
