Whether or not these conversations are just James saying his thank yous and goodbyes, well that remains to be seen in the coming days, but should the rumors about the return to Cleveland turn out to be true, then that’s probably the case.

It’ll be interesting to see, should James end up making the decision to head back home, how his relationship with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert will be, especially after all that happened four years ago when James made the decision to head to South Beach on national television.

Nonetheless, we’re getting closer to the official decision, and things definitely seem to be looking in Cleveland’s favor.
