The ESPNing of sports is back upon us. LeBron James unveiled his new shoe in Akron yesterday and addressed a variety of questions. One was if LBJ was going to sign the contract extension the Cavaliers have offered him recently. LeBron said no and that he wanted to keep his options open.
So news outlets are going bananas pondering if the city of Cleveland will be burning down and what teams he may bolt the Cavs for.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: He ain't goin' anywhere.
LeBron is smart to not sign the extension. Why would he sign it right now? This same extension will be on the table after the season. Signing it now would rid him of his one power play he has over the Cavs in that a threat to leave will keep the team trying to please him. Signing now would mean that the Cavs wouldn't have to push their resources to make the team better.
So stop the printers from making those LeBron Knicks jerseys. This news really isn't news at all.
