Executive + famous mouth: If the Cavaliers don t win the championship next season, they will pursue James with all their might. He should return to their roots

On August 13, the Cavaliers won 64 wins in the East last season, but were eliminated in the second round of the East. The Cavaliers are aiming for the championship after Halliburton and Tatum's season reimbursement caused the Pacers and Celtics to withdraw from the championship. According to an Eastern Conference executive, once the Cavaliers fail to win the championship in the new season, they will pursue James' return next summer to lead the team to compete for the championship. The famous "American Yang Yi" Stephen A-Smith also believes that James should return to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers will become the biggest favorite team in the championship.

The only championship in the history of the Cavaliers was in 2016. They won the championship under James. At that time, when they were behind in the finals, they won three games in a row with a total score of 1-3 and reversed the Universe and won the championship with a total score of 4-3, creating the only championship in NBA history that the Finals fell behind 1-3 and won the championship, and it also broke the 52-year history of Cleveland without a championship.

It was only in the post-James era that the Cavaliers never missed the championship and even failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals again. Last season, the Cavaliers won 64 wins first in the Eastern Conference, but were easily eliminated by the Pacers 1-4 in the second round. This is undoubtedly an extremely unsatisfactory result.

It is precisely because of this that an NBA executive is accepting Cavaliers Nation talked about the prospects of the Cavaliers' new season, saying: "Next season is crucial to the Cavaliers. Halliburton has been reimbursed for the season, Tatum is likely not to participate. The competitive landscape of the East is very open, which is an excellent opportunity for the Cavaliers to win the championship. The Cavaliers should win the Eastern Conference championship next season, and they have no excuses to lose again. Once the Cavaliers enter the finals, everything is possible. In fact, I think the Cavaliers will perform well against the defending champion Thunder."

"I can tell you now: If the Cavaliers cannot win the championship next season, I expect him to be We will pursue James' return with all our might. Everyone knows that Cavaliers boss Dan Gilbert hopes to win the championship without James, but if they still cannot win the championship next season, adding James to this team will be a huge advantage compared to adding a cheating code. I know he will be 42 years old next year (the end of next year), but he is James, and he will always be a top player. "

James has implemented the player option for the remaining year, and he is likely to finish his 23rd season of his career with the Lakers, but the Lakers have shifted their focus to Doncic, so James is likely to leave the Lakers after playing next season. If James chooses to return to the Cavaliers by then, especially joining as a free agent, it will undoubtedly help the Cavaliers greatly improve their strength and thus strive for the championship.

Stephen A-Smith also believes that James should return to the Cavaliers, which is his best chance to win the championship again: "Talking about James... Why don't you go back to Cleveland directly and end your career there? This is unquestionable - he has a higher probability of winning the championship in the Cavaliers than in the Lakers... Go back to Cleveland, bring the championship trophy back to this land, and say goodbye as a five-champion... If James returns to Cleveland, the team will be the biggest favorite of the championship."
