Yeah, he is entitled to make decisions based on his personal best interest.

This isn't a Carlos Boozer type of departure, where he deceived the Gund's and then took advantage of the situation.

In this case his flaw was not being considerate enough to inform the organization of his decision to leave, so they could do some planning. As a person I haven't seen many severe flaws in LeBron, but he does have a tendency to be overly dramatic.

Nobody blamed Lebron for leaving Cleveland in the first place. That happens in sports, and especially in Cleveland sports. The problem was the manner in which he did it. He seems like a different guy now than four years ago. He's also the best player in the game and can do a lot fo help our young team move forward and possibly make a championship run in 2-3 years.

There's no doubt Lebron is a great player, and probably a nice person, but he has shown some lapses in character/judgement in the past. Based on his letter it seems like he's matured, but we'll see if that's true over the course of this next year. As of right now the jury is out as far as I'm concerned, but I am happy he's back as he will undoubtedly bring a lot of positive attention to the city, and make basketball season, which is a typically dreary season, a lot more exciting.

I think it's funny when people ask this question. I'm over the moon, as is the rest of NEO. Any bitterness, anger, or resentment that ever existed was always underlied by a passionate and admittedly somewhat sick and twisted love between us and LeBron.

This is true....people were literally partying in the streets yesterday, so the opinion of a few individuals doesn't really matter. He left for a good reason (even if it was executed poorly), and returned for an even better one. It's a great story which hopefully has a happy ending.

In Cleveland love is blind, so there you love the one you're with.

Everyone makes mistakes. The adult thing to do is accept that, own up to them and move on with your life. That's what everyone in this situation did here. Everyone else should just let it go.

Don't believe the letter he wrote. It's nothing more than PR bs.

If Cavs didn't get Wiggins, LeBron would not be coming back.

Noticed how he signed only a 1 year with an opt out clause. Just in time for Durant's 2016 free agency if things don't work out.

Everyone says he's so mature, then why did he stab D-wade in the back and leave the Heat such that the Heat get no value for him in return? What a great guy!

Anyone who burned his jersey and then rushed out to buy another one is just pathetic. These people fall in line like sheep and get on their knees. I bet they show up to games wearing Lebron jerseys instead of Wiggins or Kyrie. What a joke.

NOT ACCEPTED UNTIL PROVEN is the new Cavs slogan
