LeBron James meeting with Pat Riley today
By Mike Dyce
The whole NBA landscape is waiting for LeBron James to figure out what he is going to do, stay with the Miami Heat or rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers. James is schedule to meet with Heat team president Pat Riley at some point this week, but now there is a report that the meeting will take place this afternoon, sooner rather than later.
There was some suggestion or notion that the discussion between James and Riley would be to inform the Heat of James’ decision. A personal, face to face “I’m going back to Cleveland” courtesy.
Despite the general optimism in Cleveland, that might not be a forgone conclusion. THere is a subsequent report that James is leaning towards the Heat, and after meeting with Dwyane Wade last night, it could be to inform him of his intentions to stay or what needs to happen in order for him to stay.
Cavs have had back and forth with LeBron's camp, more than what's been reported, I'm told. But source says he thinks LBJ leaning toward Heat
