Cleveland getting a new look?: Fresh off LeBron James announcing that he's switching back to his old number '23,' adidas has put his new Cleveland Cavaliers jersey into production. Below is a look at the jersey on the factory line courtesy of ESPN's Darren Rovell. What's interesting about the photo is that it reveals a possible new look for the Cavs, combining the their current wine jersey with gold panels and trim reminiscent of LeBron's first run with the franchise. Is this a gimmick jersey to celebrate LeBron's return or are the Cavaliers getting a new look? Share your thoughts on the jersey below and we'll update you with an answer here at Sole Collector. http://solecollector.com/news/lebron-s-jersey-hits-production-is-cleveland-getting-a-new-look/

Is there a weirder relationship in all of sports than Brian Windhorst and Lebron James? What a bizarre duo those two are. Like how did this exchange go down? Lebron texted him and was like Hey Brian, I lost a ton of weight staying away from carbs all summer, meanwhile Windhorst is trying to unlock his iPhone with pizza grease and garlic butter all over his fingertips living the exact opposite lifestyle. Love to be a fly on the wall when those two hang out. Also is it just me or is LeBron starting to look like Dwyane Wade's knee?
LeBron: Considered returning home after I got back from vacation. I let my agent handle everything. Once I got to Vegas for my camp, i narrowed down the teams. I made the decision over the last 48 hours in Vegas (The 1+1 contract) I don't plan on going anywhere. I don't have the energy to do it again. (On Kevin Love) Don't care about the 26 and 12. Care about the basketball IQ. Excited and hope it works out (officially with the league). Not that many guys on the roster who have done great things so I have to teach, lead and inspire those guys. My number one goal is to win a championship here and that would be the greatest achievement in my life (on the court). Looking forward to the challenge. (Time frame change?) It's still a process. Even with the vets and acquiring Kevin Love two weeks from now, it's still a process. I know that. It'll be a challenge for us. Again, the guys playing big minutes for us haven't been through it.

Maybe he's hoping to just up his 1-yr salary in the new cap. Just seems ridiculous to think he'd leave Cleveland *this* year, but the dude surprises -- I'll give him that. Or he keeps surprising me anyway.
He already said he was going back to Cle next season. He's just making sure Gilbert pays him as much as possible.
Or could be getting out of the way so they can add other pieces first, then comes in after. He is not a selfish guy even though most people keep trying to make him seem that way.
Lol, he's getting a raise dude. The salary cap is going up the next 2 years, don't fool yourself here. I'm not claiming he's selfish, but it's very obvious what is happening.
