Consider this the complete antithesis of when LeBron James parted ways with the Cleveland Cavaliers to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami four years ago. To say that Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert didn’t take James’ departure too well would be an understatement.
Now that Gilbert and James have mended fences and the two-time NBA champion has returned to Ohio, all eyes are on Miami’s reaction to James’ departure after four seasons.
And there is some good news on this front.

Good for Riley and the Heat. It’s now time for everyone to move on from the James’ saga and continue the offseason. On that note, Miami surely has a lot to do in order to field a contending team in 2014-2015. Retaining Chris Bosh was definitely a step in the right direction.
