The actual first time in Chi… I landed… went to Millenium park… got the news LBJ was leaving Miami and had to scoot right back home. So I was in Chi for less than 24 hrs. Doesn’t count.

James’ decision was a shocking revelation for many, as the star was at his best at the Miami Heat. The forward won back-to-back MVPs and championships in previous years. The star received a lot of hate for his actions from fans and even his teammates in Miami. James’ decisions to join the Heat and leave the Heat have both caused controversy over the years.

But it seems like the star’s relationship with the city of Cleveland is still alive after many years. James recently attended Cavaliers postseason game against the Boston Celtics and even received a standing ovation from the crowd. The forward’s visit has sparked rumors of James’ potential return to the team.

As Bronny James is among the 2024 draftees, the rumors about him playing with James have been in the news for a long time. Many teams have been rumored to be the potential landing spots for Bronny. Now, Celtics legend Paul Pierce has expressed the idea of the Cavaliers drafting Bronny for James’ return to the team.

As James was also drafted by the Cavaliers, Pierce thinks it is a good idea for the star to finish where he started. During Fox’s Undisputed, Pierce suggested James join Cleveland if the team drafts Bronny. 

Let's just say Cleveland drafts Bronny, that might entice Bron to go back to Cleveland. Why not finish out your last days where it started.
Paul Pierce said

James has a player option in the upcoming season before he becomes a free agent. As it was reported that James’ choice will not be affected by Bronny’s future, it would be interesting to see the star’s decision over the summer.
