Here's some food for thought on why LBJ went back to Cleveland. It's super long, but worth the read, especially if you like reading about the all-time great players. I think Simmons is really onto something with this idea. Side note: I didn't LBJ had been in the Association so long, played so many games, and logged so many minutes. It's insane how much wear-and-tear he has to have on him now.
