The Mavericks remain hopeful that they'll be able to meet with LeBron James, even though they could only acquire him via sign-and-trade with the Cavaliers.

By Chad Ford, edited for Cavaliers content.

The Cavs are among the teams that have all been working to figure out how to acquire Bosh from the Raptors in a deal in which Toronto would sign-and-trade Bosh to Cleveland. But in the meantime, Bosh's intentions remain unclear, as he's been "hard to read," according to one team executive.

Which way is Bosh leaning? The evidence at this point is mostly mixed and circumstantial. Bosh went to dinner on Thursday night in Chicago with Wade and afterward tweeted, "Just had dinner w @dwadeofficial. Great way to end day 1 of #freeagency although it feels like someone is missing." Many believe that the tweet referred to LeBron, but that's only an educated guess.

If Bosh is insisting that he get a full max contract via a sign-and-trade; Toronto president Bryan Colangelo is taking a tough stance in trade discussions, demanding either a star player or cap space (via a trade exception) and draft picks. Colangelo is very reluctant to take back players like Bulls forward Luol Deng or Heat forward Michael Beasley as part of any deal, complicating sign-and-trade options.

I reported LeBron is coming to Miami and I look wrong right now b/c Bosh flipped.

He brought Damon Jones with him to workout. Should be fun to watch. Bunch of college stars in building working out & trying not to watch LJ

WOW! LeBron just threw-down a massive dunk...hit his head on rim, knocking off NY hat (LOL!!!) Brian is tapping away on his LT...sure he is tweeting something (or maybe story on camp notes?).

BTW... talk is that If LeBron signs with Cavs, that Bosh will come to Cavs... If LeBron goes to Chicago, then Bosh will goto Heat or Houston.

The NBA's most wanted man made a surprise appearance Monday at his Nike Skills Academy to work out as the sports world awaits his decision on where he'll play next season. James was not expected to attend the camp until Tuesday.

Wearing a New York Yankees cap and white T-shirt, James strolled into Rhodes Arena just before 3 p.m. He was accompanied by former Cavaliers teammate Damon Jones and others. James asked for the main locker room to be opened so he could dress.

For what it's worth, LeBron looks to be in fantastic shape. Looks to be leaner than end of season, no hint of elbow issue.

Hey Outtie, I said want to. In all but one case I have resisted the urge. I guess I should have said its like someone coming to your house (our board) and staring at your girlfriend. I' married now anyway so I've become a LOT more patient.

CP3 is gonna be a Cav zomg!!!!!!!

But really, Eyenga was with him too. Why would he work with Eyenga if he was leaving? Much like him working with JJ last off-season...

Like everything else, Amar'e situation being held up by LeBron. "No one is jumping from that boat yet," said a source close to the Knicks.
