“Pat Riley thought he was getting LeBron. I just think he was very optimistic. As time went on, I thought Miami was going to be the place. I got to the place where I thought it was something more than 50%. I was surprised it was Philly.” - Brian Windhorst

“When LeBron went back to Cleveland, he talked about Miami like college…I learned how to be a champion—So if this is the final chapter, to make it a new team that he's never been part of doesn't feel right in terms of the narrative arc. Miami has a little bit of it.” @howardbeck.bsky.social

Brian Windhorst likes LeBron going back to Miami now, because of the ‘story’: “The more I thought about it I just think Miami is a more viable option than I was given it credit for. The story makes sense in Cleveland, that’s the cleanest story. But the story in Miami is there too if he wants it. The CLE/PHI roster is more built out from straight basketball. I hear people talking about ‘story, story, story’ I think there’s a story to tell in Miami too. That’s all I’m saying.”

“I would seriously consider Denver if I was LeBron, but if it's not going to be Nikola Jokić, why not Giannis Antetokounmpo?…I want to acknowledge the more I've thought about it, the more I'm thinking about Miami. I'll just leave it at that.” - Brian Windhorst via Get Up

“You know that I'm from Cleveland, you know my ties there. The more I've looked at this and the more I've had conversations, the more Miami makes sense to me [for LeBron]. And now when I hear him thinking about a couple of years, it makes even more sense to me.” - Brian Windhorst

Brian Windhorst on DeMar DeRozan and the Miami Heat: “DeRozan is tied to LeBron James in a unusual way. I believe some of the teams waiting on an answer from LeBron James, teams like Miami, also could be DeRozan teams if LeBron doesn’t land there.”

Here's the thing about LeBron James. He's said Cleveland means more. He wants to be cared about more than he was in LA. He's loved in Cleveland more than anywhere else. Why would LeBron James choose anywhere but Cleveland?

Paul Pierce on Lebrons ring culture take 🔥🔥🔥🔥 "I remember Lebron left Cleveland to chase rings in Miami, Wasn't that about trying to get a ring. Its kind of hypocritical for Lebron to say this being that he went to Miami and back to Cleveland then to LA in search of Rings"

Stephen A Smith says the biggest issue with LeBron going to Miami, is Pat Riley would get all the credit if they win a championship: “If LeBron James goes to Miami and helps them win in Miami, Pat Riley gets the credit. It’s Pat that went out and got Giannis and then LeBron… the champion is the executive that’s pulled it off again in his 80s.., LeBron is just the latest player he acquired to help elevate their franchise and the Pat Riley mystique. If you know anything about LeBron, he prides himself on being more than that.” (Via Stephen A Smith(

Brian Windhorst says Miami makes even MORE sense for LeBron if he wants to play 2 more seasons: Windy: You know I’m from Cleveland you know my ties there. The more I’ve looked at this and the more I’ve had conversations, the more Miami makes sense to me. Now when I hear him thinking about a couple of years, it makes even more sense. I think that’s where he goes and fits. He can go there and have the ball. He also can go there and be protected on defense… I don’t see him playing with Donovan and Harden and being a clean fit. The fit in Miami makes more sense to me. I’ve come to that as I’ve watched this unfold the last 3 weeks and had a bunch of conversations Dave: I do think the point about the ball in his hands, that is the undisputed basketball fit in terms of the way we’ve seen him enjoy playing basketball (Via Hoop Collective)

Brian Windhorst says the teams going after LeBron, believe Miami is the BEST basketball fit 👀 “If you look at Cleveland, the team the Cavs have is reminiscent of the Lakers team he’s leaving…. The Sixers have a number of ball handlers. The ball handling role is wide open in Miami. The history is there in Miami. The star power is there in Miami… As I’ve had conversations over the last few weeks, Miami continues to make more and more sense to me… The more you talk about this with NBA teams, even the teams that are recruiting LeBron, the team they see is the basketball fit, it’s Miami.”

Iman Shumpert on where LeBron James should go: “If this is about a ring, go to Philly. If this is about selling tickets Miami. If this about ended your career the way it should go, go to Cleveland. Just don’t go to Cleveland trying to be happy about a win because you not going to win there. You’re not going to be happy. This is about legacy, the return tour, this is not about winning don’t you dare go over there think it’s rolling with the winners. I don’t know what’s up with them during the playoffs, don’t do it. I’ve been on a team with LeBron when he was frustrated and he felt like he got too much going on. He going to start shipping sh*t out of there, man.” (Via Shump Street Podcast)

JUST IN: Ramona Shelburne says Rich Paul and LeBron James originally thought he would come back to the Miami Heat: “I spoke to Rich Paul about that about an hour ago, he said for a lot of the time he thought it was going to end up being Miami. That seemed to be a nice fit and story but he said ‘when you been to a place before, when you won at a place before, if you go back it may not be the same. You kind of want to leave those memories where they were, as they are. They had a great time together when they won two titles down in Miami” (Via NBA on ESPN)

That’s just a little motivation… I’ve heard Warriors, I’ve heard Philly, Miami.” — LeBron James on the comments that he’d be in the play in if he went to Miami 👀
