But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn't know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I'm excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can't wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates."
Oh boy..
This has me worried. Doesn't sound like someone expecting Love. With Love they would be favorites next year, wouldn't they?

Without a doubt. On one hand, he says he'll be a mentor. On the other hand, he doesn't mention Wiggins or Bennett. Is that his way of saying, "Go get me Love, but keep Waiters and Thompson."
Only time will tell. LeBron also said his goal is to win as many titles as possible. He'd benefit greatly from having Love next to him.
It's all speculation on Love at this point. Who knows?
But either way, a bunch of moves are about to get announced in the NBA and there's probably going to be some more significant movement as a result of this.
By the way, everybody in Cleveland should be writing a letter of thanks to Gregg Popovich right about now.

And Phil loves fucking with Flip. Like the good ole days all over again.

I still think a 3-way deal works with Melo a Cav, Love a Knick, and Wiggins a Wolf.
