The NBA world is pausing for the day to try and figure out where LeBron James will play this upcoming season. Unlike last year, where ESPN bought and paid for one of the network’s most iconic and soul crushing moments, things seem to be happening organically and at LeBron’s pace.

More from Cleveland Cavaliers

According to Sam Amico from Fox Sports Ohio, the Cleveland Cavaliers chances of landing LeBron James may be confirmed by not a media report or a tweet that has gone viral, but rather the utter and complete silence from one of the most outspoken owners in sports.

Gilbert can’t be paid to shut his mouth, but he’s also a businessman and in a business of showmanship. This means he’s not going to spoil the surprise for his fans who have been waiting for LeBron to return this summer.

This all in no way actually confirms anything, but if we can talk endlessly on Twitter about LeBron James’ house, then this seems to be completely plausible as well.
