When you get LeBron James you also get a ton of other great players that want to play with him. Since James returned to the Cavaliers, they’ve signed Mike Miller and James Jones, have a pending trade to acquire star forward Kevin Love and now they’ve added Shawn Marion.
According to ESPN reporter Marc Stein:
ESPN sources say Shawn Marion has committed this weekend to sign with the Cavaliers. Cavs can only offer minimum deal to Marion but sources say chance to play with LeBron and play for a title trumped all other offers.
The Pacers, Clippers and Heat were also reportedly interested in Marion but apparently LeBron tops all. The 36-year old, 15-year NBA veteran adds depth, versatility and defense.
