Lebron James can opt-out of his contract at the end of the season and become a free agent. While many think he will stay with the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers believe they can pull off a reversal of “The Decision” and have Lebron come back home.
via Akron Beacon Journal:
Cavs privately believe it’s not too late. They still have the assets to pull off a mammoth trade this summer at the draft, the type Grant tried so hard to make. Kevin Love will be entering the final year of his contract, as will LaMarcus Aldridge. Grant tried for two years to unsuccessfully pry both stars out of their current cities, but each had too many years left on their contracts for their current teams to consider it. That’s no longer true.
If either the Minnesota Timberwolves or Portland Trail Blazers come to the conclusion they can’t re-sign their stars, this summer is the time to move them and the Cavs will be at the front of the line, stocked with young players and future draft picks.
It’ll be very difficult for the Cavaliers to pull all this off but if they do, they believe it’ll be enough to convince Lebron to re-sign with the team.
