While many star players are doing recruiting this summer on behalf of their teams, LeBron James has not joined the ranks. That is because James himself is a free agent after opting out of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James is widely expected to sign a new contract to stay with the Cavs, but he is apparently using his leverage to ensure the team signs one of his buddies first.
As has been believed all along, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports that James is waiting for the Cavs to reach agreement on a contract extension with Tristan Thompson before re-signing with the team.
