The bandwagon of the Cleveland Cavaliers just got alot heavier after Lebron decided to take his talents back to Ohio. Similar to what happened with the Miami Heat when he decided to go there, fans have a tendency to just switch sides and claim a team at the drop of a hat. In 2010, suddenly the Heat had the most fans in the NBA after barely anyone outside of Florida caring about the team before. Someone decided to get creative and make this video of a heat fan instantly becoming a Cavs fan after the announcement. This is funny but this is exactly what is happening all over the country since Friday. Hit the jump.

NBA: Luol Deng Takes His Talents To South Beach, Signs Two Year Deal With Miami Heat
Just a short time ago, free agent forward Luol Deng agreed to a two year/$20 million dollar contract to join the Heat. Deng will basically replace Lebron at the same position, although obviously not on the same level. This is still a good signing for the Heat because Deng is no lame on the court and besides the big name free agents teams were after him just as much. The deal includes a option for Deng on the second year if he wanted to again be a free agent. The Heat are doing all they can to still put a solid team on the floor and compete.
NBA: Dwyane Wade Publicly Addresses Lebron Leaving Miami For Cleveland
The big 3 era in Miami is officially over but it was a hell of a run for the team. After Wade, Bron & Bosh came together they went to 4 straight NBA Finals, winning two championships in the process and building a tight bond between the guys themselves. Many wondered how that bond would be affected with Lebron deciding to return to where it all began in Cleveland and how Wade & Bosh specifically would feel about it. Yesterday Wade spoke publicly about it for the first time and it is clear he wants the best for Lebron. Hit the jump.

While LeBron James decided to head back home to Cleveland, Chris Bosh decided to accept the Miami Heat’s max contract offer of five-years and $118 million. Many people think the Heat are in trouble now that LeBron is gone but Bosh took to his Twitter and Instagram account to let fans know he’s happy he stayed and that HeatNation will continue to go on.
NBA: Report, Chris Bosh Staying In Miami For 5 Years/$118 Million!
Lebron is leaving, but to the surprise of many, Chris Bosh is staying. The Heat are finalizing a new contract with Bosh that will pay him $118 million dollars over the next five years. Pretty much if he remains to the end of the deal he will retire as a member of the Heat. The Rockets thought they had Bosh in their grasp after Lebron announced he was leaving Miami and offered Bosh the max they could which was four years/$88 million dollars. Bosh decided to take more money and stay in Miami with Dwyane Wade for now. There are rumors Wade may be looking elsewhere at the moment now also. As long as Bosh and Wade remain Miami will at least be a playoff team in the east, but not a legit contender. Houston currently looks like a big loser, especially if they do not match Chandler Parson’s deal with the Mavs. That would mean they lost a very important player and could not close the deal on Bosh or Carmelo.
NBA: Report, With Lebron Leaving Miami, Bulls Making Run At Dwyane Wade
The purge is on in Miami and everyone is coming after the heat’s best players. We all know by now that Lebron deided to return to where it all started in Cleveland and rejoin the Cavs. Chris Bosh is on the verge of accepting an offer to join the Houston Rockets, especially since they have now traded Jeremy Lin and have the cap space. Dwyane Wade seems to be the man left out in all of this. It was been widely assumed that he was staying in Miami no matter what happened because that is his team. But things are different today now and the Chicago Bulls are reporting seeing what interest he may have in joining them. Hit the jump.
