    2016 he can get out. If he wants to. OKC is talented though. I was reading by the time KD, Ibaka, Westbrook get to that point, they would be the same age as Lebron/Wade/Bosh when they teamed up.

    Oh and after this season, if Wade opts out, he will not receive anything near what he will get next year. I'm not sure why Wade would opt out unless he REALLY puts the team first. If they agree to that, I don't think they have room for Lebron, Melo, Wade, and Bosh unless each one takes severe pay cuts and then they fill out the rest of the roster with minimum players

    Its a much better team than what he left with years ago. You think the coach really matters to? come on. Lebron didnt have that 2nd man last time, he will now whether it be Irving or someone like Jabari Parker or whoever Cleveland decides to draft.

    Someone like Anthony Bennet?

    Older players always say they want to play with veterans. Does Lebron want to wait to go through the rookie thing?

    And yes coach matters.

    No the coach does not. Its about the players on the court, unless Popovich or Jackson is walking through the doors the coach won't be a big deal. Irvings ready, and don't you think Lebron would like to compete for titles at the back of his career, like Duncan? He's not going to be competiting for anything if he's with Wade and Bosh in 4 or 5 years.

    I respect the shit out of Lebron and he is obviously the best player in the game but he gives plenty of reason for people to dislike him that has nothing to do with envy.

    Just a few things:
    -The flopping. Yeah all players do it but Lebron is one of the worst. When you're the best player and weigh 260 but flop like you're Tayshaun Prince then it is going to annoy people.
    -I feel like he is constantly talking about how people "hate" him and constantly talking about how he doesn't care...yet he is always talking about it. Just always comes off as pretty thin-skinned to me
    -Always doing press conferences with his buddy D-Wade. Makes him look like a douche, IMO
    -Mocking Dirk being sick during the Finals
    -Not having the balls to do the dunk contest but always releasing dunk videos around the time of the dunk contest. Just makes him look afraid and again, thin-skinned.
    -Having the video of him getting dunked on pulled by Nike
    -The Lebron app. So douchey

    I'm sure I could think of more but it bugs me when people think it is just the decision. To me he just always comes off as a pampered douche who can't take any criticism.

    And the other issue is that anyone in the basketball proffesion knows how good he is, but now trolls and haters have voices on the internet. Hell Jalen just brought up the "memes on instagram". None of this shit existed 10 years ago and all these trolls were nobodies. Now there nonsense hate gets seen by 1,000's of people. People with ZERO credibility have a voice now. Unreal.

    Yeah so Lebron would play for a coach he doesn't respect or like? Come on, coaching is important.

    Good list. I forgot about the dunk contest thing. That's just cruel.

    They would get a coach that he would like. The assistant in Miami is a prime caniadate, a person who Lebron likes.

    No lead is safe in the nba. Expect this to be a game again before the half
