It's not really a matter of welcoming him back. The fact is that he's the best basketball player on the planet and you'd have to be a fool to not want him on your team.
I'd honestly rather win a title without him - but that shit ain't gonna happen so I'd be more than happy to make a deal with that devil to bring a championship to Cleveland. For the City, not for him.

Yeah, and he just got his ass handed to him in the worst finals-series blowout ever, despite having two other all-star level players. He still has his days, but he has lost quite a bit of consistency. He's longer the player around whom you can build a title-contending team for a 5-6 year period.
See my above reply. If he couldn't win it with Wade and Bosh, he's not going to win one in Cleveland...just like he failed to win a title his first time there.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
I disagree here. Wade isn't 2006 Wade anymore. He's a shell of his former self. And Bosh is a 6'11" guy who--when he's playing well--plays like a good 2-guard. The rest of the roster is old, not very good, or both.

No moves ever guarantee a title. I think adding Lebron to the roster the Cavs have would give them as good of a shot as any other team to win a title. In a perfect world Embiid would be healthy and they Cavs would be set everywhere other than SF. Lebron coming back to Cleveland now would put a lot of faith in Blatt to put the best mix of players on the floor. The fact that the Cavs don't really have any proven commodities is the main reason I don't see Cleveland being an option. IMO if he was going to move Cleveland might be his best option to string together more titles since we have a large number of good young players that could take the pressure off of him, but I'm a Cavs fan so I'm looking at it that all they players they've picked over the past 4 years will reach their potential and Blatt is the right coach to maximize it. Hell thinking of it that way has me pumped to take Wiggins find a C and go for it with the current roster.

Honestly, for the sake of Cavs fans sanity, it would have been so much better if he didn't opt out. You can't blame them/us for concocting different scenarios/reasons for him to come back, but from a realistic point of view, it just doesn't make much sense for him to. He'd be jumping into a roster full of unproven talent. The only proven talent, Kyrie, has shown a total indifference to defense and three years in, seems prone to getting banged up. Why would he want to spend his prime title winning years in flyover country mentoring youngsters and hoping they can maximize their potential with a first time NBA head coach? The only hope is that Cleveland could attract another A-list FA, and even with the possibility of LeBron, Cleveland will always be flyover country. They couldn't get big-name players to sign there the first time he was a Cav. I think the "super-team" model took a big hit this season. The Spurs proved you don't need 2 or 3 of the top-10 players in the league to win. You just need a handful of very good players and a strong rotation off the bench. Hoping guys like Kevin Love or Marshmelo would commit long-term to playing in Cleveland seems like a very remote possibility.
