Will Lebron James leave Cleveland Again?


There is uncertainty in the Cavaliers organization on whether Lebron James will leave the organization again. After the 2017-2018 NBA season he will become a free agent. When we look at the league and the condition of the Cavaliers there are plenty of reasons on why he will stay in Cleveland and why he will leave Cleveland. The reasons for him staying is that with him wanting to win another championship the Cavaliers has brought a championship like roster since his return in 2014. With the recent trade of Kyrie Irving the team has brought Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and a 2018 first round draft pick from the Brooklyn Nets. Isaiah Thomas can produce a similar offense as Kyrie Irving and Jae Crowder is a good defender, which will help the team on the defensive end. This means the Cavaliers have improved on paper after this trade. The reason for him to leave is that the weather in Cleveland can get cold in the winter time, there was also talk about his family wanting to move to Los Angeles. There was also talk about the banana boat reunion, which consists of him alongside his three friends Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. They are talking about these four players rejoining on a team. Lebron also delivered on his promise to the city of Cleveland about bringing a championship to the city. The people of Cleveland was upset at Lebron when he left the Cavaliers organization back in 2010 claiming he threw them on national television and broke a promise about bringing a championship to Cleveland. Now Lebron James does not owe them anything, he promised a championship and they got a championship.


There is also uncertainty after the 2017-2018 season, Lebron James becomes a free agent, so does a few other star players. Isaiah Thomas becomes a free agent as well as Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Paul George and Dwyane Wade. This will create uncertainty on where players will go and the possible a formation of another super team from scratch. Due to the uncertainty after the 2017-2018 NBA season the question of Lebron James leaving Cleveland again remains uncertain and only time can tell us if he leaves Cleveland again or not.
