Will LeBron James Join Kyrie Irving's Cleveland Cavaliers?
It seems like yesterday that LeBron James turned his back on the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they drafted Kyrie Irving, but now the pair could play together. Kyrie is still in Cleveland, and LeBron's contract can be finished this summer, meaning the close friends could unite and play for their first drafted team together. What a scary proposition for the NBA defenses.
It seemed like LeBron would never put on a Cavaliers jersey again, but he has unfinished business there and he could lead his old team to their much needed and wanted glory. He couldn't succeed years back, but he was younger and had less help. This time the Cavaliers have the required help and the best player on the planet, so why wouldn't it work?
If the Cavaliers started to win again they would likely forgive James for his departure. The pair played together in the recent All-Star game in which Kyrie was MVP and this prompted James to say "Kyrie's special", which seems like the kind of player LeBron would want to pair himself with, right? Someone who is young, dynamic and "special" could only help the ageing James. Does James rate him as a point guard? He said "He's one of the best point guards." showing his respect for his friend is higher than ever before.
Could this dream pairing ever happen? There's no reason to suggest not. Nobody's ruled it out. It's going to be a crazy summer, but don't be surprised to see the good friends, and Eastern conference All-Stars wear Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys together next season.
