Cavs reportedly ‘firmly in mix’ for LeBron James despite contract decison

LeBron James

LeBron James informed the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday that he will not opt into the one year remaining on his deal, but that does not mean the team has no chance to bring him back next season.

After news of LeBron’s decision surfaced, Brian Windhorst of ESPN noted that the Cavs remain “firmly in the mix” to re-sign the four-time NBA MVP. The team most negatively impacted is the Rockets, whose most realistic path to adding LeBron would have been by way of a trade.

The Cavs can still offer James significantly more money than any other team, but it is unlikely that the size and length of the contract will be the biggest consideration for LeBron.

Despite the subtle hints he may or may not be dropping on social media, it seems like LeBron’s decision will come down to the Cavs and Los Angeles Lakers.
