They're outraged in Miami about LeBron James saying he would play for the Cavaliers again, right? Mildly peeved? They heard about it, didn't they?
Is LeBron James plotting a return to the Cavs or is he just playing with the hearts and minds of Northeast Ohio fans again?Upon hearing LeBron James' comments about possibly returning to play for the Cavaliers, one of the first things I said was, "Man, they must be outraged in Miami right about now."
Nearly 24 hours later, I'm still searching for that outrage. While some Heat fans (yes, they do exist) took to Twitter to express their displeasure with James, a cursory review of Miami's newspaper sites show that city is more interested in Linsanity's looming visit to South Beach than LeBron basically admitting he's already thinking about his next 'Decision.'
Make no mistake about it, Miami, LeBron just gave you the 'It's not me, it's you' speech. You're reaction? "Meh."

Ira Winderman, Florida Sun-Sentinel
"[LeBron] is trying to please everybody. It's who he is. And generally when you do that you please no one. To be honest, I thought his comments were relatively benign until I heard about the reaction in South Florida and then sorted through these emails."
Ethan J. Skolnick, Palm Beach Post
"He tried to appease his former fans, without alienating his current ones. That will always be a delicate balance for him, at least until he wins a championship, and cements his legacy in Miami, securing a permanent spot in South Florida's fickle hearts. Still, Heat fans should attempt to understand the complicated nature of his breakup with his old team."
Meanwhile, some national sites gave LeBron some heat for what he said.
"[LeBron's comments] border on both innocent sincerity and a complete lack of self awareness. This was the basketball equivalent of rejecting Dwight Howard at the rim on one end, and seconds later blowing an uncontested dunk on the other. Part patronizing, part putrid. Completely baffling."
Kelly Dwyer, Ball Don't Lie (Yahoo! Sports Blog)
"This is just a goofball bit of "look at me!" from a guy trying to be tactful and nice in the face of media that report to a place he called home for 98 percent of his life. James might not be completely happy in Miami, now that things haven't come as easily as he'd hoped, but there's nothing to see here in mid-February of 2012."
