CLEVELAND, Ohio — I heard from so many fans who were convinced that: LeBron James would come back to the Cavs. LeBron was the missing piece for the Cavs winning the title. LeBron had to come back because he is from Northeast Ohio.

The Eastern Conference is shaping up to be much more formidable this season. According to FanDuel, the Cavs have the sixth-best odds to win the conference at +1200. They trail the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, and Detroit Pistons.

LeBron James could have had a third stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, yet the Akron native passed on a reunion with the fans who adore him most.

LeBron James will join the Philadelphia 76ers after agreeing to a two-year deal, sparking a wave of reactions from Northeast Ohio and the basketball community.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — LeBron James drove Cavs fans to the edge of their seats and positioned himself for the perfect play. The Decision 2.0, featuring a full-circle twist back to Cleveland, was sitting right there.

Northeast Ohio might be home, but Cleveland was only chosen one time through James' four free-agency decisions. If 2010-11 was "The Decision," then this round was "The Indecision" of James – who dragged out free agency and ultimately managed to pick someone else.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have one glaring question facing them that must be answered before moving on with the rest of the offseason.

Money was never an option for LeBron. Roster makeup was always the deciding factor. Zero movement for CLE this summer. Former CLE GM Mike Gansey was on the job in Philly for 2 months and got Jaylen Brown AND LeBron😳. #Cavs will still be good. But is this a Bad look for CLE?

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson shared a quote that showed he was excited and optimistic about the team signing LeBron James.

Cleveland Cavaliers fans could be growing impatient as LeBron Watch exceeds two weeks. But they aren't alone, and they must remember that LeBron James is always worth the wait.
