After seeing him leave and return in one case, some Cleveland Cavaliers fans still have slight hope that LeBron James will come back to the Cavs once over again before catastrophe his legendary NBA career. Their team has only had success throughout the past two decades when he has been on it, and then having him back in The Country would be franchise-altering and requite the fan base a much-needed spark.

Notwithstanding, with the Los Angeles Lakers currently having a stacked squad that'south looking to win a championship, it seems pretty unlikely that The Male monarch will render to Northeast Ohio anytime soon. Only Cavs fans at present have some unrealistic hope thanks to his recent comments and tweet.

LeBron James praised 2 electric current Cavs stars

LeBron James rarely comments on the current country of the Cavs. They have been rebuilding e'er since he left for the second fourth dimension in 2018, but Cleveland now has a strong roster filled with immature stars like Collin Sexton and rookie Evan Mobley.

This flavour, the Cavs got off to a squeamish 3-2 showtime with three straight impressive wins over the Atlanta Hawks, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Clippers. And during their Oct. 27 win over the Clippers, Sexton, the fourth-year baby-sit, scored 26 points, which included an internet-shattering douse over Nicholas Batum.

Earlier that night, the Lakers suffered an embarrassing loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a game where James didn't play, but The King still took time to post about Sexton on Twitter after his squad'southward L.

"My goodness Immature Bull!" James tweeted, referencing Sexton's nickname. "With the left too."

The Lakers then played the Cavs a couple of nights later, and Cleveland outplayed LA for most of the game until James and visitor took over in the fourth quarter and won 113-101. After the game, James and so had some comments well-nigh Mobley, the Cavaliers' rookie big human being, following the youngster's 23-betoken, six-rebound operation.

"He'south going to be a damn practiced basketball player in this league," James said, per Cleveland.com. "It's so crazy because he was only playing confronting my son a couple years agone. It'due south weird. It's getting more weird by the day. He was playing against my son in the playoffs ii years agone and obviously nosotros saw what he did in the tournament — just electrifying. They got a practiced ane. Cleveland has a good one. They've done a great job over the years in the draft, I'll say."

As mentioned earlier, LeBron James rarely speaks on the current country of the Cavs, so his comments were certainly interesting, especially since he will be a gratuitous agent in the summer of 2023.

And Cavaliers fans have since expressed their hope for The Return Function Two.

Following James' tweet about Sexton and a tweet from the Cavs' official team account near the 18th anniversary of LeBron's NBA debut, Ben Axelrod, a Cleveland-based reporter, posted, "The amount of social media flirting between LeBron and the Cavs has not been lost on me."

Axelrod then tweeted a poll where he asked fans if they wanted "LeBron to return to the Cavs," and 81.4% voted yes, while eighteen.6% voted no.

Post-obit James' remarks about Mobley, another fan on Reddit posted "I hope and then" in reference to a user saying they think the Cavs need to continue tanking so they can so trade for a couple of superstars when James returns to the franchise again in a couple of years. A second fan also said, "I'm in," when someone commented, "I kinda want LeBron to become back. The re-return."

All in all, James' comments have given Cavs fans a glimmer of hope for him mayhap having a third stint with the team.

Merely the likelihood of that happening doesn't seem peachy.

Another LeBron James-Cavs reunion is unrealistic

At this betoken, any hope the Cavs have in bringing LeBron James dorsum to Cleveland seems pretty unrealistic. James just won a championship with the Lakers a couple of seasons ago, and he'south on a star-studded roster this year that has a risk to win another championship.

The four-fourth dimension NBA MVP also said, "I truly promise that I can finish my career with the Lakers," on a podcast this by summer, per Yahoo Sports.

But then again, not many NBA fans thought James would return to Cleveland in 2014 after going to four sequent NBA Finals with the Miami Heat. He likewise said he didn't "have the free energy" to get out the Cavs again when he returned to the team (per USA Today) but then went to the Lakers iv years afterwards.

And then, with that said, anything is possible. Equally of right now, though, it appears the Infinite Jam 2 star is pretty comfy in Hollywood.
