The NBA Free Agency has gotten to that fever pitch moment when everything gets read into and analyzed and dissected as everyone tries to figure out where players are going. Notably Miami Heat superstar LeBron James.
A report from Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports, says that James’ former team the Cleveland Cavaliers might be gaining the inside track in the LeBron sweepstakes.
"At the urging of LeBron James’ agent, the Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing a maximum contract salary slot to bring back the free-agent superstar, league sources told Yahoo Sports.Rich Paul, the president of Klutch Sports, has been funneling belief into the organization that the Cavaliers are in strong position to lure James from the Miami Heat, sources told Yahoo Sports."
Big news for Cavaliers fans, but no sweat for the Heat. They’re not sweating one bit about the rumors linking LeBron to Cleveland and in fact are confident that they’re still in the running.
Within Heat, still confidence they'll keep LeBron James. They know difference between his agent's agenda, and James' strong mind of his own.

It would be pretty cruel to toy with Cleveland like that again.
No one knows better than LeBron how this is playing in Cleveland. If he isn't seriously considering the Cavs, he has to make that known.

It would be beyond cruel to toy with that city's emotions again.
