LeBron doesn’t seem to be close to a decision, but there has been rampant speculation that a return to Cleveland isn’t as crazy as most of us all thought it was when first suggested last month. But while the rumors are being shrugged off by some, they roots of the reports are coming from a very high ranking place.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports, the whole conversation about LeBron going back to Cleveland begins with his agent, who has been telling Cleveland to buckle up and get ready to get the superstar back.
"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."
Of course, it’s way too early to tell what is going to happen, but Cleveland is quickly emerging as a strong landing place for LeBron which is good news for fans who have been wanting him back ever since he left back in 2010.
