What's Lebron doing? 

Post#1 » by Zenith » Sat Jul 16, 2016 1:16 pm

LeBron James has yet to inform the Cleveland Cavaliers of when he'll sign his new deal with the team.

James is in no rush to agree upon terms as he continues to be a free agent for the third straight season.

Even though J.R. Smith and the Cavaliers have yet to agree upon a new deal, James' delay is not at all related.

Any real info out there? He's obviously staying in Cle, but figured he would have signed his new deal by now. Maybe he's contemplating taking a year off? His minutes/games played is pretty much unprecedented.

He knows he's getting a max and he knows the Cavs will pay it. It'll get done when it gets done.

Probably trying to decide if he wants another 1+1 or wants to lock in long term now. A 1+1 costs him about $3 million dollars this year, but the max salary structures could be very different next off season.

Is JR signed to LeBron's agency? If so, that would explain a lot.

We only have Iguodala and KD at SF position. We could use a LeBron for vet minimum :lol:

He's showing them that everything gets done on his time. He runs that franchise and he will sign when he pleases.

I doubt they care considering he's publicly stated he's staying in Cleveland and his agent has been telling other teams that inquired not to waste their time. There is a zero percent chance that LeBron isn't a Cavalier next season and everyone, including LeBron and the Cavs, knows it.

Maybe he wants a new challenge - taking the 76ers to a championship, that would be a challenge 8-)

Showing his immaturity. He is going to hold Cleveland hostage the rest of his career.
