Going Home. Lebron, A Cavalier Once Again

       Lebron is going back to where it all started. Cleveland is where King James has decided to go after opting out of the remaining years of his contract with the Miami Heat. With that, let the shift in Eastern powerhouse begin.
       Cleveland, building off their previous years at the draft table, notably recent No.1 pick Andrew Wiggins, is a much different team since "The Decision" was aired in 2010. Kyrie Irving(drafted No.1 in 2011) and Tristan Thompson(drafted No. 4 in 2011) led the rebuild in Cleveland, followed by Dion Waiters (drafted No.4 in 2012). And of course, who could forget the Canadians Anthony Bennett (No.1 in 2013) and Andrew Wiggins (No.1 in 2014).
       With the addition of King James on the roster, Cleveland can now be considered a favourite to contend for the NBA Championships. Though young and lacking playoff experience, James has much more of a supporting staff than his prior years with Cleveland.
       Will Lebron fit with this young team, leading on and off the court is the only question. James, who carries his team on most occasions, can leave his teammates in his shadows. What the Cavs need to do now is find a system that allows James to produce the most numbers, as well as elevate the play of the younger, more inexperienced Cavaliers (with Wiggins coming up, can Lebron take him under his wing?)
       With Lebron finally off the market, we expect other big names to take their place on certain teams. Bosh is rumoured to join the Rockets now that James has left Miami. Carmelo Anthony, where he winds up, most aren't expecting a return to Denver, but anything can happen.
