00:00Now, the buzzer had barely sounded on the Cavs season,
00:02and Donovan Mitchell is already fielding questions
00:04about a certain former Cavs player returning next year.
00:09That is not for me.
00:11I don't, I'm not trying to get a headline.
00:14That's not for me.
00:15I'm not going to answer that.
00:17That's not for me.
00:17That's a Kobe Altman question.
00:19That's a Mike Gansey question.
00:21Because I know no matter what I say,
00:23no matter how I say it and how I try to navigate it,
00:27it's going to be a thing.
00:29So, I'm sorry, Joe.
00:30I'm not going to give you anything.
00:32You have to ask Kobe and them.
00:34All I know is what we got in the locker room,
00:36and I go to a ride with those guys every single day of the week.
00:39That's all I got.
00:41Donovan Mitchell handled that like a pro,
00:43and he is just that as opposed to James Harden.
00:47So, I like the way we asked this question.
00:51Would LeBron take his talents back to Cleveland?
00:54Because if it was framed like it was to Donovan Mitchell,
01:00should the Cavs pursue LeBron James?
01:02Yes.
01:03Of course.
01:05Obviously.
01:06Player option for Harden.
01:08You hope he doesn't opt in because he is an albatross and a negative,
01:12and you can't win with James Harden.
01:15That has been documented throughout his checkered history in the postseason,
01:18thinking he's the solution.
01:20That's a disgrace.
01:22Of course, you get rid of Harden.
01:24You bring in LeBron James.
01:26We could talk about anything else you want to do.
01:28But here's the better way to phrase it.
01:30Our question.
01:32Would LeBron take his talents back to Cleveland again?
01:36I'm struggling to believe that he would.
01:38I love nostalgia.
01:40I love a good, feel-good story.
01:43I love closing a book, Cleveland, this is for you, kid from Akron,
01:49bring Bronny back, the whole thing.
01:51I just don't see it.
01:53Why would LeBron, how would LeBron rationalize that he would have a better
01:58chance to win in Cleveland than he would with the L.A. Lakers?
02:03And I'm of the opinion the Lakers were one of four teams I could have seen
02:06winning a championship.
02:07Remember, we said that in March on Shine Time,
02:09that you could see OKC, San Antonio, the Lakers are the next winning a title.
02:13Those are the only four teams you could see winning a chip in the NBA.
02:18I can appreciate full circle bringing him home, but why would James want this?
02:22Why would he want to give Dan Gilbert the satisfaction?
02:25Isn't he closer?
02:26Unless the Lakers shut the door on LeBron, I don't see how this plays.
02:33If I'm James, I would stay in Los Angeles for another year.
02:38He has a great rapport with J.J. Reddick.
02:41Obviously, Bronny's there.
02:43You know, his family's now in L.A.
02:45He's been a Laker for a long time.
02:48Business ventures are out in Los Angeles.
02:50It makes too much sense.
02:52I would never in a million years, if I'm James, say,
02:56I need to go back to Cleveland.
02:58It would make no sense.
02:59But look, Cav's got to do something here.
03:02Because I thought that was a complete and utter embarrassment,
03:06in addition to giving the Knicks all the credit on the world,
03:09but a complete and utter embarrassment to bottom
03:13when you look at what happened with the Cavs during this series.
03:18So, let's go back to Cleveland.us
03:19in the Rutgers, in
03:19the U.S. Š³Š¾ŃŠ¾Š²
03:19is
03:20to move toē husband's neck and
03:20help lead to another man rid for a long time. I
03:20think he's were on the diamond on the moon, and
03:20it's going to fall if he was outside. I'll
03:20be up to the gold on the moon. Here we
03:21see him all the stars ŠŠ» ŃŠ¾-Long and on
03:21Later. We'll
03:21all the stars after this season. We'll see you
