The Boston Celtics sent LeBron James and the Cavaliers back to Cleveland to admire all of their regular-season accomplishments. It’s the Celtics who are still in the chase for an NBA title. Despite his sixth career playoff triple-double, James is headed for another early offseason after winning a second MVP award and leading the Cavs to an NBA-best 61 wins and a home-court advantage they never got to use. James scored 27 points with 10 assists, and his 19 rebounds matched a career-high and were the most he’s ever had in a playoff game. But he also had nine turnovers. The LeBron watch began at 10:53 p.m., when Rajon Rondo dribbled out the last 14 seconds and the Celtics began celebrating. James is eligible to opt out of his contract this summer, a move that would make the two-time MVP and zero-time NBA champion a free agent and set off a scramble for his services from New York to Los Angeles and, of course, back in Cleveland.

The only good news for us is the Lebron VII P.S. will be on sale soon. Probably around $80.
lebron wont be goin to the knicks they are a worse team than the cavs. He either stays or goes to a team like the bulls where he has a chance of winning a ring. Money is not an issue espn says that if he stays in cleveland he gets 120mil for 5 years or 96 mil for goin to another year for 6 years. Its all about the ring now, either cleveland rebuilds the team and gets a new coach or lebron goes to the bulls or some similar team.
personally i want him to win in cleveland so he doesnt get labeled as had to go to another team to win.
win or lose i'm still a witness, and whatever team the King will land on i'll support it....
its just a total disgrace for him to loose this year. i mean, you would have thought the deepest team in the nba, his evergrowing abilities and his hunger because of last years loss could get it done, but again they loose. this time even against the celtics, which they lost against also two years ago.... im just really disappointed in the effort. imma always support king james and stay a witness, but that is just a shame. i really hope he stays with the cavs to show how determined he is to bring akron on the map. that would cement his legacy far more than some championship with someone else...
F**K LeBron! He looked like he gave up.
Lebron won't go any further with these "Cavs" even they have won the boston series.

good point :grin:
Lebron stays, new coach, upgrade roster, and new season. Watch it happen people.
bulls, heat, cavs - best options he has. if cle doesnt make some serious moves he cant stay. i wouldnt. love mo will, but you need a presence downlow. look at LA, PHX, Boston and Orlando - loaded with superstars and then you got bron and some guys...maybe jamison and will are solid, but they aren't ray allen, pau, vince carter or amare.
