King Joffrey is much more decisive than King James.

This needs to go down soon so the rest of FA can continue.

From what everyone is saying, it's a foregone conclusion that he's going back to Cleveland. If that is true, then why wait? He probably knew that even before he met with Riley yesterday.

I am now thinking that was his plan from day 1. According to Paul Coro he never considered the Suns. The meeting with Riley was probably a courtesy to his old teammates and the organization. It's starting to feel like he always knew where he wanted to go if that's where his decision falls.

If that is where it does fall....I wonder how much of this is to try and restore his legacy? He was pummeled for leaving Cleveland and if he brought a title there? People in Cleveland would be over the moon.

One reason for Lebron to think twice about returning to Cleveland.

If today proved anything, going back to Cleveland might not be the best decision for LeBron's family bit.ly/1rZSGDX

I think he's going to shock everybody and pick the Houston Comets.

Alaskan time?

The time zone was not given. Everything is rumor for the most part. If I were to guess, it would be Eastern time. Now they are saying on the radio 8 PM Arizona time.

On 620 Sports they are saying Lebron has not committed to Cleveland and the reporter went completely went out on a limb last night reporting it.

I feel sorry for the poor ESPN intern tasked with constantly refreshing LeBron's website.

Wouldn't it be funny if LeBron had chosen to go back but all the hysteria by the media and fans convinces him that it would be unhealthy for his family to live there.

I was thinking it would be funny if he went back to Miami and said he thought about Cleveland, but their owner and fans were such jerks to him when he left that he lost all desire to ever play for that team again.

Meanwhile, the 11 PM Eastern time announcement never came and it is now an hour and twenty minutes later.

This all seems to be leading to a return to Cleveland. If not and he is putting the screws to the Cavs once again, he is also making a fool of himself.
