Team stacking in the NBA

The unknown selfish reason is probably the fact that Cleveland hasn't done shit to build anything around LeBron in Cleveland, and LeBron wants to at least challenge for another title before he hangs em up.

That's not true at all, they practically overhauled the team twice last year for him.  He's been to the finals for what, six consecutive years?  As recent news is surfacing he is putting forth entertainment projects in LA.

I have no doubt that LeBron is looking at entertainment projects in LA. Hell, he's been playing in that sandbox for at least five years now.

That said, if you take a look at the supporting cast of last year's Cavs though, you can't really tell me that he had even an average team around him. Take LeBron off of last year's Cavs squad, and Cleveland would've been contending with my beloved Phoenix Suns for the #1 overall pick.

Add in the fact that he reeeeeally hates Dan Gilbert, and I think that LA was definitely the smartest play for LeBron.

To be clear, the first overhaul was not "for him." It was for Kyrie, who was less interested in winning than he was in being independent.
