Philadelphia believes it can give James the best opportunity of hanging up his jersey as an NBA champion. The Cavaliers present an interesting offer as a deal would be a welcome reunion.

There is increasing belief that James will make a decision soon, but it’s evident his unique free-agency process won’t be rushed for anyone. James’ decision will have league-altering implications, thus the entire basketball world is patiently waiting for an answer.
