Thread: Cavs owner terrified that LeBron leaves if Cavs don't make finals

He'd be a good match in Orlando with Dwight Howard :)

LeBron James dropped a bit of a bomb on the entire NBA when he spoke his final sentence Friday night before leaving Madison Square Garden, a statement that should leave everyone in Cleveland, New York and elsewhere -- especially in Miami -- wondering exactly what the King meant by those parting words.
