Could that happen?

We will have to wait and see, but nothing is going to stop fans from hoping and praying that the Cavaliers find a way to bring Ohio’s brightest star back home.

All you need to do is take a look at social media to see just how much people are hoping to see LeBron put on the Cavaliers uniform yet again.
