Did Lebron leave Cleveland to let them rebuild?

When Lebron left Cleveland, he left them with nobody, which is why they have picked so many top draft picks. Kyrie Irving Round:1 Pick:1, Tristan Thompson R:1 P:4, Dion Waiters R:1 P:4, And Anthony Bennett R:1 P:1. If he had stayed in Cleveland, they would have never rebuilt the way they did unless he just sidelined for a fews season. So instead he went to Miami where he knew he could when a couple championships, while the cavs rebuilt their roster, so he could make a return the way he did. Am I right about this because I haven't heard anyone talk about this?

    You're under-rating the team he left, and you're a little awestruck by the POTENTIAL, rather than talent.

    Cleveland won't be a contender anytime soon, youth doesn't win the NBA, so it'll be years especially since all those players except 3 are Small Forwards, so it's not a balanced roster.

    He left because he had no chance there. Would u rather play for a mediocre team with Mo Williams as ur only consistent scoring option other than yourself and not to mention the fact that u made it to the finals with that team and were abused by the Spurs in 4 games. OR play for a team with Bosh and Wade, a better Coach, more money, and a better chance to win.

    That a valid argument

    He leaves

    Cleveland get new young stars

    He gets a couple rings

    Then he goes back and it's a win win for him

    He left cause he was tired of losing so he joined bosh and wade in miami to win championships. After knowing what winning felt like, he wanted to come back.

    We all knew he would return. Insiders and LeBron's family kept saying "don't be surprised if he returns home." I do think it's possible. Maybe the NBA was in on it and rigged the lottery for the Cavs, who knows?

    As stated in his open letter, LeBron said he left to "join forces with DWade and CB". It was a chance too good to pass up, to team up and win a championship for the "ringless king" and finally get the monkey off his back.
