If James leads his team into post-season play then, the GOP could find its preferred June 28 start date for the convention impossible because of the site conflict. Convention planners typically take weeks to customize the space with lights, seats and the traditional balloon drop from the rafters impossible tasks if the Cavaliers go into post-season play.
That leaves Republicans looking at their backup date of July 18, still earlier than parties typically nominate their presidential hopeful in recent years, but later than RNC chief Reince Priebus preferred.
"All options remain on the table as we're still very early on in the negotiation process," RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said. "We're excited about Cleveland, and LeBron's return is further evidence that it's a city on the rise."

(31,965 posts)Yeah, James made the Heat when they are winning but when they lose it is the Heat that failed him. Excuses are cheap, everyone has them.

(41,692 posts)But there are a lot of idiots out there that let their hate for the guy cloud their sports judgment. You know what I mean?
