So do a lot of Athletes, what's made the twitter comment raise eyebrows is that when you look at his past quotes he only mentioned Cleveland " as his home" so Cleveland fans must be pretty worried right now that he's more connected with LA.

I would say this, if I'm Cleveland and I got word that my franchise player is leaving, I would try to get something now instead of losing him for nothing.

LeBron to Lakers is extremely gaining more steam by the week.

He only considers Cleveland home, that is the significance of his twitter comment, he has no connections with LA, he's a straight out east coast guy so saying LA is home will only cause controversy.

Got it thanks. The use of the word "home" is key.

The best basketball player on the planet has no connection to LA?

He's one of the best entertainers in the world and he has no connection to the entertainment capital in the world?

These are pretty clear indicators.

That's the business connection he has with LA not the fact that he mentioned LA home, when Crawford invited him to play hoops in Seattle, that is a big thing if you clearly look at it in retrospect, now this can mean nothing at all but LeBron using the word LA as a base for him will only give us a better and even a great chance to bring him on board next summer.

Which FA is gonna want to go play in Cleveland? There is no LeBron coming out of the draft in any foreseeable future... they are gonna be overpaying for quality players similar to the Nets.

We're both arguing that he's going to come. However, I think his business connections draw him to LA as home. I think he enjoyed his Miami lifestyle and wants to have the balance of both his business and his leisure.

So we both agree, that LeBron to Lakers is becoming more likely

Yes, many NBA players have homes in LA.

Lebron loves sprinkling morsels to his social media followers.

Now all that's missing is for Magic to tweet out, "God is good." 😂🙄🙄

Any other player enroll their kids in a different state?

The moment LeBron enrolled his kids in Brentwood just LAST FALL should be the biggest hint he may consider retiring in LA.

I would absolutely HATE that!
There's no reason to get Magic and Pelinka to double think this.

If he wants to come in FA, then by all means, welcome. But don't trade ANYONE for a 34 year old who's game is ridiculously dependent on his athleticism. Yes, he's not slowing down and has shown no signs. But he's one injury away from being irrelevant.

I heard he enrolled them in LA schools last off season. I'm not sure if that continued or not.

LeBron has a 12 year old, 9 year old, and a 3 year old.

As a parent myself, my kid's schools and their locations/distances are a big deal.

Where are they enrolled this upcoming year? I don't think he wants to yank them around LA then Clev, then somewhere else.

It's crickets over in the Lebron section of the Cavs forum... 😂
Either they get no internet reception in the manufacturing plants or the thought of Lebron to LA is too hard for them to swallow. 😂

I would say our only competition for LeBrons services next summer are the Sixers, thank god that CP3 left or else I think he would have choosen the Clippers over the Lakers and there is always West closing the deal in a meeting.
