According to Sam Amico from Fox Sports Ohio, the Cavs have been actively meeting with LeBron’s camp over the course of the last few days but that still hasn’t stopped the star player from leaning towards wanting to return to Miami rather than go back home to Ohio and to the Cavaliers.
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

This really is like 2010 all over again as the Cavaliers and Heat are the two teams that LeBron is most likely to end up with as no others have presented themselves as favorites the way Miami and Cleveland have.
It’s going to be a photo finish too, as the Cavs roster is starting to look more and more attractive the more we look at it and there’s obvious reasons for LeBron to want to return to Miami. His decision will require more thought than the first one did but it seems to be deja vu all over again for the Cavs.
