2014 off-season is fastly approaching and it looks like we may have a leg up on the Heat in the chase for LBJ
In a recent interview after the Heat surged back over the Pelicans 108 to 95, Lebron James had kind words for the future of the Pelicans. Jim Eichenhofer tweeted (and quickly deleted) the following:
Edit: Here's the screenshot:
Could it be that he sees the promise with this team... and one of our 2 glaring holes... the SF position!
Let's not forget...
Per an interview earlier in the year, LeBron hinted at not
wanting to play in cold weather:
On top of that, both
Lebron James and Erik Spoelstra had glowing reviews for our budding star earlier in the year.
This isn't even the first time that
Lebron and New Orleans have been mentioned in a professional basketball union.
During 2008 All-Star Weekend, Lebron even won a trophy in New Orleans: All-Star Game MVP. He has champion ties to New Orleans already.
What is all this pointing to? We all know. Lebron wants to be here. You know it. I know it. Anthony Davis knows it. Lebron James knows it. He was at the Hornets-Heat game in New Orleans last season. He saw how many fans want him here. Hell, even Erik Spoelstra knows it (hence the pressure of winning another championship last year... he needs a reason to compel Lebron to stay... a reason he won't have).
Don't sloe down the momentum, because things are about to pick up. The future is bright here, New Orleans. The King will come.
