    Why does the agent care about "righting a wrong" or even the younger talent?

    Windhorst:

    Flying to Vegas today - 3 day camp
    This weekend - going to Brazil for World Cup Final(scheduled 2 days)
    China on the 20th(probably leaving on the 19th)

    Real interest in returning to Cleveland?

    Believe he'll play in Cleveland again - not sure it's this year.

    Stephen A.: I can't rule anything out. Don't give me LeBron to Phoenix. I don't believe it. Texas, Houston & Dallas, you just never know but those are long shots. In the end, it comes down to Miami or Cleveland or LA.

    Windhorst:

    LA? Single percent.

    Best guess on a decision?

    Before Brazil on Saturday but just a guess.

    Does it help Lebron's brand? Conceivably so. But he's already Lebron freaking James.

    Well this year there are multiple max guys all potentially moving.

    Last year it was Dwight and we'd been through a circus with him for a few years and he used the term Nightmare.

    I was listening to SAS speak (that quote comes from his hijacking of Mike and Mike), he never said anything about LA, as in literally nothing, he went on a long rant about how NY would be an option if they had space though.

    It is. One I certainly didn't think of (good post, justtexyank!). I bet his agent has, however.

    Dude has already won multiple championships MVP's and played in the last four finals. Doubt he's legacy would be ruined if Cleveland didn't win it all

    He's gotten killed every time his team has even struggled in a playoff series. When they've actually lost, Lebron's legacy is the driving topic. If Lebron goes to Miami, wins two titles with 2 other stars and then goes home to Cleveland and never wins anything of significance again, all you will ever hear is how Lebron wasn't able to win a title without building a superteam. Couldn't carry his own team had to jock ride someone else, etc. He's no Michael! He's no Michael!

    If his ultimate legacy is 2 titles and 3 losses in the finals, he will not have the legacy that he or his agent is hoping for.
