LeBron James is fed up with the coaching, management & overall losing streak of the Cleveland Cavaliers. While he may take some blame as well, King James, who has the option to opt of his contract at the season end, claims, “he won’t hesitate to make the appropriate business decision if it means bolting!” Sheesh, get more juice & deets on this story below…
via Dime Magazine:
The scrutiny has increased again, and coach David Blatt is on the hot seat. But in a recent report from the Chris Haynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group, it sounds like the unthinkable — LeBron James leaving the Cavs AGAIN — isn’t totally out of the question.
Here’s Haynes:
James has not and will not, throughout the course of the season, go to management seeking Blatt’s removal, a league source said. That level of authority is not in his job description.
“Listen man, I don’t pay no bills around here. I play,” James said following Monday’s practice.
If you’re waiting for a ringing endorsement from James on behalf of Blatt, it’s not happening. It’s much too soon.
“He’s our coach, I mean, what other coach do we have?” James said.
There is immense pressure to keep The King happy.
Here’s the part that will have most Cavs fans freaking out:
James, who turns 30 today, has no intention of compromising his prime years playing for a sputtering organization. He can opt out of his contract at the end of the season and become a free agent.
Given the massive scrutiny he would endure if he departed Cleveland a second time, if his hand is forced, I’m told he won’t hesitate to make the appropriate business decision if it means bolting.
Is LeBron James really going to take another risk with his legacy, by leaving yet again? Either way, hopefully Cleveland can pull it together as a team!
