Tom Haberstroh joined Baskin and Phelps and explained why he believes LeBron James coming back to Cleveland is the best move for both him and the Cavaliers. He discussed why the Cavs' Core 4 fell short in their series against Indiana and why he believes the Cavaliers are missing something from their lineup to get them to the Finals, as well as what Darius Garland's toe recovery is going to look like when the season starts back up this fall.
