It's more of a Monday than usual in Cleveland as homegrown superstar LeBron James announced on The Babysitter porn movieSunday night that he's leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers, striking a deal of $153.3 million over four years.
There was a lot less anger from Cavs fans for this departure versus the last time LeBron left town. Back in 2010, he ripped fans' hearts out by announcing his decision to go to Miami in a now-infamous live, nationally televised special. (The decision also led to the greatest use of Comic Sans ever written.)

Whatever you think of the move, one thing is for sure: if you live on the East Coast, you'd better invest in coffee, as the most exciting games will air on West Coast time for the 2018-19 season.
