Option 4) Miami beat people ran with the theory that the meeting was today which was speculated on by other writers and look stupid.
Lebron is a lot of things but one thing he isn't is dumb. He knows that the moves Riley did yesterday don't improve the roster that much and knows to truly improve the team either Bosh/Wade take pay cuts or one is replaced. Lebron has said himself he would rather not make the playoffs than lose in the finals. You pair this with Melo still undecided and it points to a possibility they can play together in Miami. You don't need twitter or an inside scoop to think logically and there's no reason Melo would still be undecided other than possibly playing with Lebron. Multiple people have reported that Lebron left Cleveland to play with Wade and Wade only (most notably SAS). They even accepted the same 3 year extension with plans to play together in 2010 and it happened. Bosh was just a bonus but he was never a major reason Lebron was there. The meeting with Riley will be to tell him he's leaving for Cleveland or that he wants Melo in Miami. That move is the only move that appeases Lebron. Mcroberts and Granger only show Lebron that he will have the exact team he had last year and he knows that it's not good enough to beat the west winner. You either win the finals or not make the playoffs
He's beyond gone. Nike is preparing to make a campaign based on The Return. I promise this is bad for Miami. There is nothing spectacular to meet about with Nike if he were going back. Bosh is ours. iPad Airs on the house!
I wonder if Riley needs an extra day to search for another addition (via Mario Chalmers S&T or whatever?) to satisfy LeBron? Maybe this means he's close to getting that target, maybe this means he is desperately flailing. Who knows? But this thing looks kind of complicated.

Yea, people constantly say but he was holding the Magic in limbo for years! He was holding the Lakers in limbo! Kevin Love is doing the same thing and he currently isn't the impact player that Dwight is. He gets no flack. LaMarcus Aldridge was similar before the team got it together. He got no flack. LeBron's decision in 2010 was the single most obnoxious free agency decision. He felt sad because he never got to hold a PC for his college of choice so he holds a taping in his home town of Akron, miles away from the city he was about to collectively destroy for the next four years. Here he is again holding up the sports world when in reality he knows what he is doing and doesn't need the extra time. He's a prima donna who has gone down another notch in my book unless he decides to come to Houston. The choice is between Cleveland and Miami and it's a choice that has already been decided.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. He may very well have scheduled a meeting to give them a jump start on his intentions. Honestly, I don't know if returning to Cleveland will really help his shoe sells that much. My guess? A 1 or 2 year deal with Miami and then he bails for NYC or LAL.
