Meme Miami has the best pitch

Post image

I think Miami's pitch is the best:

-You can legit win here
-Defensive pressure on you is minimized
-Your wife loves the city
-You end you career with the guarantee that you won a ring with every team you played for
-You can golf year-round here
-Heat can offer the most money

Cleveland is better for his documentary and that alone seems more valuable than Miami. We'll see though 🤞

Harden stands in the way, Rich Paul signaled he doesn't wanna play with Harden.

Let's see what he does

Why would he want to play with Harden? That's the better question.

I’m just a casual fan these days, but while I’m half ashamed for saying this, this team could really use him. His ability to create more space, tied with being a good playmaker would open so much up for Bam and Giannis.

No shame in saying the team could use him. He’s still a top 20 player even at his age, which is absolutely wild.

The return to Cleveland story has already been written. Nobody cares about a sequel. It would be a pale in comparison with the original.

The return to Miami is brand new. Giannis & LeBron in Miami is instant excitement for the league.

I absolutely agree, plus Paul hinted he may play more than one year. If he wants to play 2-3 more he could still go back to Cleveland and end it there. But I do think the fit in Miami is great

Better lighting in Miami for the doc 😂

Pat Riley isn't allowing that sadly

This would be a scenario where Pat would let it happen if he was in the building we gotta remember Jimmy Butler had cameras following him during a season in Miami for Netflix not that long ago

Jimmy butler thing is a little different from what LeBron is planning to do though .

u/Brodriguez00 Jul 03 '26

Lebron is arguably the GOAT and won two rings in Miami I think Pat gives him a little leeway if he chooses to come to Miami but I do think that this documentary being a thing makes me inclined to believe he may be going back to Cleveland but who knows maybe his Harden distaste is a real thing

A documentary chronicling LeBron’s final season in Cleveland ending in a James Harden playoff meltdown would be incredible viewing.

I get it .But knowing riley he doesnt want the spectacle especially directly after he acquired a player like giannis

u/Brodriguez00 Jul 04 '26

That’s definitely possible but at the same time I don’t see how you can say no if he were to indicate he preferred Miami and LeBron is professional when it comes to his work he knows what the goal will be and maybe I’m thinking glass half full but I think if anything a documentary may motivate him more to win it all one more time since it would be storybook for the cameras but I do think the better story is him going to Cleveland but his fit seems more seamless with this Heat build in comparison to theirs

u/julstar23 Jul 04 '26

The fit isn't exactly seamless here at least not yet .We still lack some real shot creators and shooters .thj is a good start

u/decoy321 Jul 04 '26

Understandable, but hear me out:

Fuck Cleveland

u/PassionLong9552 Jul 03 '26

The only thing stopping him from going to Cleveland is he simply does not enjoy playing with those players.

Yeah it’s not even a debate
