Kevin Love will inevitably become a Cleveland Cavalier at some point this offseason. My source tells me its 100% Kevin Love to the Cavs. Why it is taking so long is likely because the Cavaliers are hesitant on giving up #1 draft pick Andrew Wiggins. However, there is now a growing fear that the Cavs must include the top pick of the 2014 NBA draft, per source. Cavs and Timberwolves continue to work out the details of the trade. Now currently could be looking at a possibility of a 3rd team to make this deal work. That 3rd team could be the 76ers, the Timberwolves are eyeing Thaddeus Young and the 76ers are looking for a 1st round pick. LeBron James has been very involved with helping the Cavs on regrouping and adding pieces to make championship runs this year. We have been told that he is pushing the very hard for the Cavs close the door in a few days. In addition, Kevin Love wants this deal done ASAP! He said he needs time to adjust to life in Cleveland; he wants to be in a good mind set according to source. We've been told that the deal could be announced this week, however if it is signed and completed will depend on the players involved. If Wiggins is in the deal, then the deal will be done 30 days after Wiggins signed his contract. Kevin Love has made it clear he wants to win and wants to play with LeBron James. With that said Kevin Love will likely sign a contract extension with the Cavs after he opts out. Love fits exactly the offensive style that Head Coach David Blatt likes to run. Kevin Love can be the stretch big with great range, a top tier Pick & Pop player. In addition to the main pieces, fully expect the Cavs to move multiple 1st round picks and the expiring contracts of guard John Lucas III and forward Malcolm Thomas and Erik Murphy (likely 2 out of 3 will be moved, maybe all 3). The main key of all of this is without a doubt the Cleveland Cavaliers will land 3x NBA All-Star Kevin Love. Kevin Love will 100% become a part of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cavs will certainly have a big 3 in Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, & Kevin Love. Update 7/30 : There are rumors swirling around about Kevin Love visiting Cleveland, well I can 100% confirm that Kevin Love was in Cleveland at the Cleveland Clinic Monday and some of Tuesday. The Cavs and Timberwolves are inching closer to finalizing a deal that will send the 3-time All-Star Power Forward to Cleveland. In addition, the deal will include a 3rd team the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cavs are interested in landing Arnett Moultrie from the 76ers in the 3-team deal. The 6’10” PF/C from Mississippi State who is entering his 3rd year as a professional. In addition, the Cavs continue to try to work the deal without Andrew Wiggins, continue to try to push Dion Waiters and Anthony Bennett and multiple 1st round draft picks. The Cavaliers will not trade both Dion and Andrew it will either be one or the other, however the Cavs truly want to keep Wiggins. Update 7/31 : We are hearing that if the Kevin Love deal is announced by next week, then expect Wiggins to be involved in the deal and it will be announced after the 23rd which would be 30 days after they signed #1 draft pick Andrew Wiggins. Cavs are still hoping that they can work the deal out without losing top pick Andrew Wiggins, however they are all in for Kevin Love and are prepared to include him if need be. 100% Kevin Love will be a Cleveland Cavalier before the season starts. In addition, work around the office is LeBron currently prefers to play with Dion Waiters. LeBron likes Wiggins but feels Waiters helps the team win right now. Main factor is LeBron wants Kevin Love and has told the front office to make the deal happen no matter what. |

UPDATE: The Plan was always to Return to Cleveland, despite a slow progressing free agency, you have to remember this is entertainment. With that said the Return is real & Greatness is Coming for the Cavs. The signs have always been there for LeBron to return, Akron will always be home and their is unfinished business for him in Cleveland. Rich Paul told the Cavs to make cap space, to keep Anderson Varejao, and have enough for a Ray Allen, James Jones and/or Mike Miller. The Cavs have done all of that with their recent trade! Look for LeBron to announce his decision before he leaves for Brazil! GREATNESS IS COMING CLEVELAND GET READY!
On July 8, 2010 LeBron James performed “The Decision,” and decided to take his talents to South Beach. In 2014 we could relive the entire event, when LeBron has the ability to opt out of his contract. 2014 will be the most talked about free agency period probably ever in the history of the NBA, and all the focus will be on superstars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. LeBron will opt out of his contract with the Heat, and will be making another “Decision”. During the time that has passed since “The Decision”, LeBron has tried to patch things up and try to repair damage done to Cavs fans; as well as putting back hope in the hearts of Cavs fans. In 2011 LeBron James had a lengthy sit-down with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, LeBron said he understands all the anger that was directed at him last season, when he went from Cleveland to Miami. Then again in 2012 he put hope back in the Cavalier fans, by mentioning in an interview with Brian Windhorst, that we wouldn’t rule out a return to the Cavs. http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/7582491/lebron-james-miami-heat-rule-return-cleveland-cavaliers During the All-Star Weekend, The Miami Herald interviewed LeBron James, and James was quoted as saying, “It’s always fun playing with [Carmelo Anthony], and it was awesome to play with Kyrie,” James said. “I watch Kyrie a lot.” Not only did Kyrie Irving make his first All-Star appearance in 2013 as a 21-year-old, but he received some high praise from LeBron at the All-Star festivities. Kyrie is a growing Superstar in this league and has the potential to be the best player LeBron could ever team up with. LeBron does not want to be hated, he wants to be celebrated and he wants to be loved. And as of right now, his relationship with Cleveland is icy at best. Going back to the Cavaliers would repair that relationship and make amends for any transgressions in the past. If LeBron came back to Cleveland and delivered the title-starved town a championship, he would become a living legend. He would be loved and adored, just as a man of his talents should be. LeBron would be a Hero, to a city dying for a Championship. The last championship Cleveland celebrated in baseball, basketball or football was 1964, nearly 50 years ago. According to several sources, when LeBron made his “Decision,” it was strictly business, and that he has treated Miami strictly like business. Miami was all about getting LeBron rings, and pairing him up with stars. However, the sources in Miami have mentioned some very interesting things about the Superstar. They’ve mentioned that even while LeBron was in Miami, he was constantly mentioning how he’d like to see what it would be like to “Return” home. LeBron has always loved his home town of Akron, Ohio. He grew up a star in Ohio, and he knows that this will always be his home. With all that said, he still left Cleveland on public television to join forces with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh down in South Beach. Something Cavs fans may never forget, until maybe 2014? Could LeBron James be on his way back home to rejoin the Cavs in 2014? We have recently found out, that LeBron is planning on returning to Cleveland in the summer of 2014. There is already a marketing campaign being called “The Return.” Nike will be involved with the mass marketing campaign of the return. There are shoes by Nike’s design team already call “the return,” according to my source, the production will take place soon and he has already seen a prototype. In addition, we have received information from a former player, stating Gilbert told LeBron to go get his rings and bring experience back to a young team. There is anticipation that there will be a documentary called “The Return,” done be ESPN. There are shoes by Nikes design team already called "the return". Production will take place soon. A source confirms he has seen prototype Cavs are set up for a great chance to get back into the playoffs this year; with superstar PG Kyrie Irving leading the team, and other young talent Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters, and Tyler Zeller. The Cavs have had a tremendous 2013 offseason adding #1 pick Anthony Bennett out of UNLV, 2nd round pick Carrick Felix, and free agents Point Guard Jarrett Jack, Small Forward Earl Clark, and Center Andrew Bynum. Bynum was one of the premier Centers in the game just two years ago, and had an injury plagued season last year with the 76ers with other issues. However, Bynum seems motivated and excited to be here in Cleveland and ready to compete and be back on top. Bynum was said to be mulling over multiple options, but decided to Cleveland. We received a rumor that, Bynum had a special conversation, with a certain someone to come to Cleveland. You guessed it the special someone is LeBron James. A source, mentioned that LeBron talked to Bynum telling him to come to Cleveland and get ready to his return in 2014. The Cavs had a disappointing season in 2013-2014 campaign, there offseason signings didn't pan out, cutting Bynum during the season and getting rid of Earl Clark. Cavs draft picks didn't have a good year, however #1 pick Anthony Bennett has been having a great offseason doing 2 a days. Bennett has lost 15 pounds and is looking very smooth. Could 2014 already be planned out? According to our sources, yes, but time will tell to see what LeBron James does LeBron will be opting out in the summer of 2014, and become a free agent once again. It won’t take long for his decision to come. LeBron will only choose between Miami or Cleveland. There will be a lot of excitement back in Cleveland this year with the Cavs who have an exciting playoff caliber team this upcoming season. Expect anticipation to grow as the next season continues and the year comes to an end and one of the top free agent classes begins in 2014. Update: Cavs are in a great position to persuade LeBron back to Cleveland, a team with an amazing future and young talent. LeBron is very intrigued about the opportunity to play with Kyrie Irving! The Cavs also have the #1 pick in the NBA Draft this year and they are leaning towards taking Kansas Star Center Joel Embiid. Combining Embiid and James would make it very hard for teams to score inside on the Cavaliers. As for the reports that James doesn't want to play with a ball dominant PG is complete "BS!" LeBron wants to win period, that's all he wants to do is win championships, and has always wanted to win one in Cleveland for the great fans of Cleveland! LeBron wants to limit his minutes in the regular season, like the Spurs do so he can be fresh and ready to go for the Playoffs. How better to do with a young and talented team and a superstar PG Kyrie Irving leading them. I fully expect still for LeBron to opt out and Return to Cleveland! Update 2.0: LeBron James went on vacation to give the Miami Heat time to rebuild their roster, and to give Pat Riley time to try to work some magic. However the Miami Heat have been failing in trying to add any other key players in. Several sources have told me that LeBron has been distancing himself from the Miami Heat Front Office and organization. According to sources, LeBron has begun to assess teams outside the Miami Heat that have expressed an interest in signing him in free agency. LeBron has noticed what the Cavs have done so far with drafting Andrew Wiggins #1 overall & signing All-Star PG Kyrie Irving to a max extension 5 years $90 million. Cavs now have a bright future and could be a move or two away from being an instant Championship contender. My Cavs source says, "get ready for a BOMBSHELL soon!" Could that be LeBron Returning home to Cleveland? Only time will tell, things are going to heat up soon for LeBron and I fully expect LeBron to Return to Cleveland! Update 3.0: BOMB SHELL is out!!! LeBron James will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers! My source and I have put this story out there for a year now and finally the day has arrived! The Cleveland Cavaliers Summer League team which will be coached by the Cavs new head coach David Blatt will currently consist of the following players Cavs Announce 2014 Samsung NBA Summer League Roster http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/releases/summer-league-roster-140708:
