LeBron the businessman holds all the power and that is why it was smart of him to enter into a short-term contract with Cavs.
The Cavs can’t afford for him to leave again, so they basically have to do any and everything he wants. Chris Haynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that LeBron will indeed opt out of his contract. That was expected, the part that is interesting is that LeBron won’t commit to a new contract until he sees how the Cavs roster is looking.
I don’t think LeBron bolts after one year, it would be bad PR and no other team will give him the type of power he has in Cleveland, but then again we didn’t think LeBron would ever come back to Cleveland either.
