What, Cleveland is rooting for Lebron to end up in LA with no help? Cause you are on some hardcore drugs if you think Lebron is staying in Cleveland even without PG going to LA.

I think Lebron is more likely to stay in Cleveland with no help as opposed to going somewhere else with no help. He knows if he'd go west that he'd get smoked in the playoffs. He's not going that way unless he knows he's got a winner.
And I am on hardcore drugs.

I agree. I just believe the odds of going to Cleveland are still 0%.

Report: LeBron has made free agency decision, will announce it Tuesday
Sounds like Lebron to Philly may actually be happening.

Yeah LBJ is kinda short of options. It looks like his ability to bring top talent with him...hasn't aged as well as his game.
On to KD, this 1+1 sets him up for a max contract with the Warriors next year. The man is sacrificing early, but it's really chump change with all things considered. Best of both worlds.

Which logically means.....
(I also admit I could be completely wrong, but I will be completely shocked)

I'm not sure his "paycuts" aren't a handshake deal with the ownership group for investments later.
KD takes a $5 million paycut. Of that $5 million, KD would've taken home just ~$2.5 million.
This saves the team $20 million after luxury taxes. Owners agree to invest $10 million into one of KD's future business ventures.
Win-win. Ownership saves $10 million, KD gets 4x return on his investment, and the team is more competitive.

Except for the parts where the team would be fucked if anyone found out and they'd actually have no legal obligation to actually follow through with it.
