LeBron James to sign with Cavs?
According to facebook page Basketball Forevet, Lebron James's return to Cleveland is a done deal. If this is true, huge news!

Would live if people specified these threads as "rumours" but regardless, if it were to happen I think it would be good for the NBA.

Hmm a potential Cavs team of
Irving/Dellavedova
Waiters/??
Wiggins/Karasev
LeBron/Bennett
Varejao/Thompson/Zeller
Looks pretty good to me
I doubt they could fit him in, but i wonder if they could convince Deng to stay in that line up if they are able to fit him in $$wise

Ignoring the dubious source, it's a valid thread as there is a lot of noise from various mainstream basketball reporters about this.
The other story is Houston courting Bosh. The more it looks like LeBron might bail, the more it sounds like the other two are getting worried and looking to jump ship. I reckon Wade has a verbal from the Heat that he won't end up significantly worse off if LeBron leaves.
As soon as Lowry and Gortat signed and the stories about Bosh and Wade wanting more than would work arose, I figured the Cavs had to be an option. There's no story/history with Phoenix or Dallas or various other teams. Lakers have the brand and some potential but Cleveland makes for a real redemption story assuming Gilbert's frustration letter can be put aside. Saw a comment suggesting the letter probably balanced out the televised decision.
Someone on r/NBA noted that Tuesday in the US marks the anniversary of The Decision. And saw an article suggesting that this decision will be abrupt and low-key.
Also that Gilbert letter has been of their site the whole time and was just taken down the other day apparently.
Lebron back to the Cavs would dispel some of the haters. Me included.
Would love to see this, as would so many basketball fans around the globe.

I'd go to New York, best city by miles & biggest market.

Can't see why he goes to the Cav's.
He is 29 year old...so the decline starts in the next 2 years.
Kyrie & Waiters have there issues..
Wiggins is very raw and will take time.
Vajaro is always injured so they have no inside rebounding, defense scoring.
Just think it is a poor chice if he really wants to win rings.

Tiger Watcher,
So where else?
Every team has its problems.

Sheridan is putting it all on the line saying the announcement will come on LeBron's web site and that the Vegas meeting with Riley was just to give him the news before it's official.
