Donovan never seemed that enthusiastic about the idea

I mean they’re still a decent team though

The savior kuminga is coming now lebron didnt choose Cleveland

Nah I think it’s the Warriors. They weren’t going to be good regardless but now that they didn’t get LeBron, what do they even do?

Yeah, whetever man, I didn’t want him anyway 😔

Harden and LeBron would’ve been a disaster so maybe it’s actually good for them not to be the #1 contender.

At the end of the day it’s just basketball

Lebron had literally no impact on all of that happening.

He should have gone to the Cavs two years ago, but in 2026 the Cavs roster doesnt look championship caliber with LeBron.

As a Cavs fan, yes, but not for the reasons you mentioned.

The Mitchell signing was a no brainer, you can’t let him walk into the last year of his deal if he’s willing to re-sign. He’d either sign for way more next year, or leave for nothing. Both of those options are worse than signing him now.

Harden’s situation will be fine, he’ll be on the Cavs for two years then open up salary space to make a signing if they’re still competitive, or kick off the rebuild/retool if not.

Mobley is Mobley, nothing’s changed there.

What sucks is we haven’t done shit this offseason because we’ve been waiting on this

It is Celtics easily  man . They got a legit championship  roster  and they ruined it for vibes and something. Imagine  trading jb and lebron for a podcaster . Cleveland  was never a contender with harden at top

His legacy has a chance to really take a hit by not choosing the Cavs, too. Going back home to finish your career always made the most sense. The Cavs also have a really talented roster with a Lebron-sized hole right there at SF. They could have really made noise and possibly won it all. But even if they didn’t, the decision would have made sense in the end.

But going to a 4th different team in an obvious ring chasing situation could really come back to bite him in the end. If the Sixers had paid him like the NTMLE, that would have been one thing, but going to Philly for the minimum is a really weak move. The only way this narrative doesn’t end badly is if they win it all. Like, they have to win

Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen should’ve grabbed those rebounds over way smaller players the last few years

Yes, we know, please let us grieve peacefully in this time of sadness

WE KNOW, DUDE.

One team wins it every year, and the Cavs certainly aren’t in anyone’s tier of favorites to do that. With that said there also aren’t that many teams better off than having “overpaid” Donovan Mitchell, Mobley, and the supporting cast the Cavs do have for next year.

The Cavs have 0 wing defenders now. I don’t mind them getting rid of Dean Wade because he is a 0 on offense but what even are their options now?

Biggest winner is Tom Dundon.

“LeBron only makes $4M a year, so I should be able to pay my bench players minimum wage.”

Koby picked Harden over LeBron. I’m disgusted.

Funniest possible ending to Lebron’s career would be a second round exit in Cleveland while he’s in the 6ers

Just look at the reaction threads of each fanbase. Cleveland is the only one that’s genuinely pissed. Makes sense obviously.

Only thing worse would’ve been Bron going to GS

Damn I thought the Hammer of Akron was going home

Idk, the Heat probably aren’t better than the Cavs and they just gave up everything for 31 year old star. The Cavs at least have their own picks in 3 years and some young guys they like.

I do kinda feel the team didn’t want him back.

Harden isnt overpaid, hes higher paid but yall act like he should be making 1mil just dont watch basketball

He already came back once and won them one of the most legendary titles of all time, he doesn’t need to do it again.

Could set them up for some cinema if they face off in the playoffs.

Crazy work 76ers took their GM and then the GM proceeds to go on a generational run

I mean, Dray could leave us in a real bad position.

But we held onto Mobley. He could turn into a star one day. He could become Brown or Giannis….

The Cavs built this team way before LeBron said he’s leaving the Lakers.

This team was in the Conference Finals last year and were the 4 seed. They’re basically gonna be the same team but might be the 5 seed now instead

Cavs weren’t winning anything anyway but yeah they lose all the money he would have made them

I don’t think he could have really fixed the issues there. Too old, two best players are ball dominant, Harden not as bad as he ages but can you imagine Donovan spotting up all game? lol.

Are Philly fans excited? What are y’all’s thoughts on the Process? Is it over? Do you still feel like yall can count on Embiid? Ggs on the series btw. See you next time around hopefully.

nah bro it’s the Warriors. For 2 off seasons straight we were trying to land a big fish, ended doing nothing while waiting or made some desperation move, and now we get to be slightly less than mid for Steph Curry’s remaining years. 

A LeBron/mitchell/harden backcourt is rough when you expect that LeBron would have to expend a lot of energy on the defensive end every game he played

I think its the Warriors. Draymond’s opt out and Jimmy’s injured still, they needed LeBron if they wanted a realistic shot at contending.

He spured them and now they’re left with nothing but an old roster with injury problems. Ya LeBron is old and has injuries too but nothing thats chronic or overly serious and he can still play at a high level. There’s no one left in FA or in a trade for them right now that will help them.

Yeah we are on a 10 year journey towards the bottom of the league. No picks, a roster that will age with no one to trade for good value. Not good enough to compete.

LeBron just wanted to play at MSG but the Knicks didn’t want him. He did the next best thing but he’ll soon find out Philly is NOT NY!

Mitchell would have looked good in a knick uniform.

Best way for LeBron’s career to end is a second-round exit to the Mitchell led Cavs

Decent chance LeBron’s gonna meet them in the playoffs. Cavs are not contenders sure but they’re still gonna be a mid-low seed playoff team.

I’m still shocked he’s not going to Cleveland, floored he actually decided to go to Philly.

Plus they have to live in Ohio

Cavs screwed themselves by paying DMitch as a #1 option

I don’t think the Cavs were banking on anything when they signed Donovan, they just can’t let him walk with a bunch more years of picks/swaps still traded away to get him.

This max deal was decided on the night they made the trade.

The Cavs won the draft lottery 4 times in 12 years, allowing them to draft LeBron and then later trade for him. They won a championship because of it. They’ve been so lucky to have LeBron, and nothing he does now makes them a loser. They might have a tough season but lots of teams are gonna have a tough season

Are we sure it isn’t the Warriors?

anybody who says Mobley hasn’t improved on the offensive end is somebody who knows nothing about basketball

Dan Gilbert comic Sans letter incoming

Pretty sure the biggest losers are the Celtics. The 76ers are about to play a super team four times instead of a good Cavs team. They blew both their feet off before a race.

honestly, I think its Miami, they needed him as a playmaker…

Hey thanks I wasn’t already fucking miserable I appreciate the the highlight

FUCK

As opposed to what?

The 76ers have hype and that’s it.

LeBron is such a diva and a narcissist, he’ll never be the GOAT anywhere else he ever played for. Cavs fans are mad, Heat fans too, and the Lakers fans. Enjoy having no home!!

The James Harden trade is not getting enough criticism as it should be receiving.

What an idiotic, terrible decision it was for the Cavs to trade for a 36 year old James Harden.

It’s actually the T-Wolves

We are gonna suck. It’s gonna be a rough year.

Narcissistic ring chaser to the end

The biggest loser has to be the sixers now they have a guy that can’t play defense
