I’m fairly certain that we probably have enough material from tonight to write a post every day for the rest of the summer. There’s a ton to talk about. But due to some other obligations, first post on the exit of LeBron James and its implications for the future of the Cavs won’t be up until a little later. Til then, check the Mesa twitter feed to hold you over. Mike put in work today (with a few scattered contributions from yours truly).
One thought to leave you with, though: if I had one minor wish for this situation, it would be for no Cavs fan to ever boo James. Not because I don’t think he deserves it on some level (not so much for the decision, but for the way he handled it), but because historically, heckling has made him a better player. If he couldn’t be the guy to win it in Cleveland, I certainly don’t want to help encourage him to become the guy to win it in Miami. Shouting insults and burning jerseys could add fuel to the fire. And for the rest of his career, I want that fire to stay at the same low temperature it’s been at since he quit in the semis against Boston.
Much more from us soon.
