 All return home………and I don’t mean Miami.  Wouldn’t it be something if all 3 return to where they wre born !!!!!!  Bron to the Cavs, Wade to the Bulls and Bosh to Houston.

Talk about a wide open field next year !!!!!!! And exciting

You’d have multiple teams – Spurs, Rockets, Cavs, Bulls, OKC etc would all have to be considered serious contenders

We’ll see

Bosh is from Dallas, 3.5 hour drive from Houston…

Yeah it would be something if they all ended up in their home states though, and it’s starting to look like a very real possibility

 Yes I know – I meant Home State.  I wonder if that is important to these guys at this point in their careers ?  It is a unique situation where each could be near where they grew up, be on a contender and get max/big dollars

LeBron is from Akron, and Houston will have 2 players who don’t show up in the playoffs if they add Bosh.

Hopefully the league gets more competitive and interesting after all these guys make their decisions.

Yeah, D Wade in Chicago would be interesting.  If the Bulls can’t get Carmelo then they need to go after D Wade really hard.

Carmelo on the Lakers would be interesting.  That would be an old team but a lineup of Nash, Kobe, Carmelo, Randle, and possibly Pau Gasol at center should be competitive.

And how about Minny if they can get Andrew Wiggins and another guy for Kevin Love?  Rubio, Lavine, Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, and Pek/Dieng would be a fun team to watch. 

Miami would be in HUGE trouble, but they had a heck of a run.  If I were them I would take a run at Rockets guys who they might need to trade (Asik and Jeremy Lin), and also get in that Kevin Love deal.  Maybe get Luol Deng in a sign and trade from Cleveland and a couple of second round picks from Minny. 

Then Miami should look at athletic rim protectors like Ed Davis and Patric Young.  Keep James Jones as a deep threat and maybe add another young sniper like Anthony Morrow.

Then the Heat go with a young, quick team built around Jeremy Lin, Shabazz Napier, Norris Cole, James Jones, Anthony Morrow, Josh McRoberts, Ed Davis, Patric Young, and Omer Asik.  James Ennis is joining the team too.  Danny Granger can be their scorer off the bench.  It might not be a real good team, but it should at least be entertaining.

Asik has already been traded to the Pelicans for a first-rounder.

Wow, thanks Cameron.  I already forgot about that trade. 

This is some crazy offseason.  It’s almost like the season never ended.

I love the idea of LeBron going back home with the potential to win championships. 

Has that ever happened before?

Has a guy left a team in his home state, that he took to the Finals (and lost), gone to a better team to win some rings, THEN come back to his original team to start winning rings and giving his fans their first title in 50 or 60 years?

If LeBron is thinking of passing Jordan, then he needs to look at this possibility: 6 rings, 8 Straight Finals (would tie Bill Russell’s record), and a Four-peat.  Dynasties with TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS.
