CLEVELAND (AP) – Once summer rolls around, LeBron James stars on a different stage.
All eyes in the NBA and across the sports world will focus on James during free agency.
There are already teams lining up for an audience with The King, should he opt out of his contract. On Thursday, the Cavaliers turned their roster upside down in hopes of convincing James he doesn’t have to go anywhere.
And just like that, another chapter was added to a chaotic season in Cleveland.
With an unexpected flurry of moves before the NBA trade deadline, the Cavs unloaded six players to change their identity and culture while moving back into title contention. They also showed James, who can be a free agent in July, they’re willing to do whatever’s necessary to help him win another championship.
