After the results of "Decision 2" came out, Wojnarowski specially sent a tweet to re-recommend an old article he wrote in February 2012 to netizens to confirm his foresight:
This week, LeBron James returned to Cleveland with a clear mission to try to soften the stiff relationship with Cavaliers fans and owners caused by the previous "decision." On the one hand, he expressed his desire to
With the desire to return to the Cavaliers in 2014, he also hopes that his hometown will be eager for his return with the same eagerness.
Although LeBron James did not have the opportunity to opt out of his contract until the end of the 2013-14 season, he understood that the Cavaliers must prepare in advance, postpone the reconstruction plan, retain salary space, and wait for his arrival again. He must let the Cavaliers
Boss Gilbert's attitude has undergone a 180-degree turn, and the fans must also let go of their resentment.
When reporters asked about the possibility of returning to the Cavaliers one day, James responded this way: "I think it would be great. It would be very interesting to play in front of these fans again. In the seven years I played here, I
I have countless good memories. Now I am a Miami Heat player and I am happy with my situation, but I will never rule out the possibility. And once I decide to return, I hope the fans will accept me.
"
Regarding James' remarks, a source inside the league explained the mystery: "He has begun to make preliminary preparations. He is waiting to see how Dan Gilbert will react to this."
From the moment he announced his decision to join the Heat in front of the TV, James began to doubt whether his choice was correct. It was not until Gilbert issued his famous "open letter" that he truly realized that the Cavaliers belonged to the past.
The reaction in Cleveland still haunts him to this day, and he never wanted to be hated by the people there.
James likes the feeling of being needed and hopes to always be sought after. He played a beautiful game and had good statistics, but he did not become the protagonist of the story, but he likes the feeling of being the focus!
James' team didn't get feedback from Gilbert, and they couldn't get it. According to NBA rules, Gilbert was not allowed to speak publicly on the matter. Two years ago, Gilbert spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire a
A private law firm came to investigate whether Riley had recruited James in advance. Of course, he would not make a similar mistake this time. However, he would certainly not remain indifferent to James' overtures.
No matter how much he desires to win a championship, LeBron James still needs to be sought after and feel needed. This has never changed!
Wojciech has always been cool with James, and he has always been very accurate in judging people, so it is not surprising that his predictions are so accurate.
But Deng Fang, the fans and experts were all very surprised. They didn't expect Deng Fang to be so accurate!
Deng Fang had been saying before that James would leave the Heat, but everyone thought it was a tactic, used to disrupt the morale of the military during the confrontation in the finals. But they didn't expect that what Deng Fang said came true!
James is really gone, really left his good brother!
No more brother basketball, the Emperor has returned to his hometown basketball again!
He was the one who abandoned his hometown before, and he is the one who returns to his hometown now!
Before, I said that leaving was just and reasonable, and now I said that returning to my hometown is so affectionate and righteous!
No matter how Pat Riley uses provoking methods, or how Deng Fang laughs at the spoilers, people just go their own way and don't care!
He deserves to be a businessman and an emperor!

There are many big fish in this year's free market, but the biggest one is obviously James.
Because of James' huge influence, many free agent decisions are related to him - this is not to say that they want to see where James goes, but that several teams are waiting for James to make a decision, and Bosh and Wade have to
Waiting for James to decide before making a choice, then teams that are interested in these two will have to wait. Of course, these teams have also made alternative plans, so these two backup tires will also have to wait...
In addition, the Cavaliers will definitely make big moves after James joins, and the same goes for the Heat. So as soon as James' decision came out, the free market immediately became lively.
First up is Bosh.
Previously, because James' whereabouts were undecided, Bosh was also rumored to be leaving. There were many teams interested in him, and the biggest rumor was the Rockets.
But after James' whereabouts was decided, Bosh quickly made a decision.
James, Wade and Bosh have spent four years together. They all chose to opt out of their contracts and become free agents this summer. According to reports, their original idea was to bring flexibility to the Heat's salary space to facilitate transactions to improve the team.
Strength. And the future of the Heat is uncertain after James leaves.
Wade may choose to stay, and currently the Heat only have four players with guaranteed contracts, so everything is full of uncertainty.
However, when James announced that he was joining the Cavaliers, Bosh immediately signed a five-year contract worth 118 million with the Heat.
After the contract extension was completed, Bosh, who was in Ghana, also said on Instagram: "I am very happy to stay. I look forward to opening a new chapter of Miami basketball."
"Chris Bosh is one of the most versatile big men in the league today," Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement. "His unique talents make him one of the best players in the game today. I have always
Everyone feels his loyalty to this team and this city. I think he will have an opportunity to be the leader of this team next season. Keeping this 9-time All-Star is very critical for us and we are very lucky to have
he."
The only remaining member of the Heat's Big Three is Wade.
Soon, there were media reports that Dwyane Wade had reached a contract extension with the Heat. The new contract was for two years and US$34 million, and Wade had a player option in the second year.
Wade shared a photo on his Instagram account and wrote affectionately: "Home is where the heart is...my home, my city, my place."
In order to provide Wade with a contract with such a starting salary, the Heat gave up the Bird rights in Udonis Haslem's contract. However, this does not mean that the Heat will leave. The Heat can also offer a contract of 2.7 million
The US dollar-based middle-class contract is renewed, but according to regulations, the length of this renewed contract cannot exceed 2 years.
According to previous reports, if LeBron James chooses to stay with the Heat, Wade is likely to accept a contract with a starting salary of $11 to $12 million.
There is no doubt that James' departure will allow the Heat to pay more salary to Wade. If he chooses not to opt out of his contract, Wade's annual salary next season will be US$20.16 million.
In the past season, Wade averaged 19 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Although the data still looks good, considering that he only played 54 games. The Heat are without James.
There will undoubtedly be a certain decline in strength. Wade and Chris Bosh will become the two arrows leading the team. In the new season, the burden on the Flash will undoubtedly be heavier.
…
Soon, on July 13, Beijing time, Wo Shen revealed that "Melo" renewed his contract with the New York Knicks. They reached a five-year maximum salary contract worth more than 120 million US dollars.
Before deciding to re-sign with the Knicks, Anthony considered the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.
In the end, Anthony chose money, more money!
Of course, there is also the big market of New York!
