LeBron James says that we shouldn't rule out the possibility of him returning to his old team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the Miami Heat, James has a solid shot at multiple NBA titles, but he'd love to return to Cleveland sometime to play there again.
"I think it would be great, it would be fun to play in front of these fans again," James said. "I had a lot of fun times here. You can't predict the future. Hopefully you continue to stay healthy. I'm here as a Miami player and I'm happy where I am now but I don't rule that out in any sense. If I decide to come back, hopefully the fans will accept me."
Dwyane Wade sees the possibility as well, but he doesn't want to be a part of it.
"Anything is possible," Wade said. "Hopefully I'm retired."
James is under contract with the Heat for two more years and can have two more if he agrees to an option. James hasn't spoken to Dan Gilbert, the Cavaliers' owner, since June 2010 when he made his notorious ESPN TV special, "The Decision." However, I don't know if Gilbert would want him back, especially with that letter he wrote the day James made his announcement to take his talents to South Beach.
"I don't hold grudges, I hold them a little bit but I don't hold them that long," James said. "He said what he said out of anger. He probably would want to take that back, but I made a mistake, too. There's some things I'd want to take back as well. You learn from your mistakes and move on."
Would Cleveland take him back? They probably would. I wouldn't be surprised and they would take him back in a second. He would fit well if the team still has Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson there.
However, I don't see this happening unless the Big Three in Miami split up, and that probably won't happen unless they get old and beat up like the Boston Celtics are right now. I could see James returning to Cleveland once he's in his mid-30's and towards the end of his career probably. Would be nice to fix things up.
What do you think about this, Cleveland fans?
