NBA Rumors: LeBron James will make decision on his own
By Mike Dyce
The Miami Heat remain confident that they’ll be able to sign and retain superstar LeBron James. The biggest name in basketball is caught in a free agency tug-of-war between primarily the Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, but any team that has the cap space is interested in signing him and has reached out.
While the Cavaliers seem to be emerging as front runners, the Heat are confident and know that James won’t be easily swayed or pressured into returning to Cleveland. James is reportedly being pushed towards the Cavaliers by not only his wife, but his entire inner circle.
Within Heat, still confidence they'll keep LeBron James. They know difference between his agent's agenda, and James' strong mind of his own.

While you never have to question Adrian Wojnarowski, or the Heat’s thought process, NBA personalities seem to agree that James will make this decision and this decision on his own.
Every player has influential people around him, but this much is clear about LeBron James' current lot in life: he makes his own choices.

Anyone who knows LeBron well knows his decision will be made by him alone, not by Rich Paul, Maverick Carter or Pat Riley...

LeBron is 30 years old, with a wife and kids, two rings and the status as the best player on the planet. Not some easily-swayed youngster.
