Well, it came out today, hes making his decision AFTER the Nike Camp has concluded. Could this be a sign that hes made a decision to leave and doesn't want to make his announcement just because he wants to finish up his commitments in Ohio before doing so?

Do you have any idea what kind of commotion would occur with him announcing it while he's concentrating with the young kids ?

Media storm that comes to his camp and distracts everything that he's trying to accomplish with the youth ?

Cmon that would be the worst possible scenario if he really cares about the kids and the camp.

IMHO if he made any announcement during the camp , he would look like a self seeking drama queen that only cared about himself and not the kids he's supposed to be mentoring.

It was reported by MANY different outlets that LeBron and his camp were informing teams that hed like to make a decision by the 5th, before the start of the camp. Now thats changed. Maybe thats changed because his plans changed. I don't know

Also I think you are going overboard talking about how he wouldn't have possibly ever made any announcement during the camp, because it would distract his work with the kids. Thats absolutely ridiculous. Hes playing basketball with some HS/College aged kids for a couple days, yea he doesn't want to distract from that. Please tell me you are being sarcastic. Especially if he were staying in Cleveland, that would be a great place for him to announce it.

Why would that be ridiculous ? You ever heard of class and professionalism ?

I think its ridiculous to state that LeBron declaring his intentions during the Nike Camp would in any way lack class or professionalism. Thats what i find ridiculous about what you are saying. Especially if that announcement entailed him staying in Cleveland. LeBron can't win here. You somehow bizarrely would find it unclassy and attention-whoring if he announced his decision during the 3 day camp. Others will find him to be an attention whore for letting it drag on and waiting until after the camp was over to make his call.

I dont believe he would announce hes leaving Cleveland, while that camp in Akron is being held though.

I don't.

Nor do I. But there is the potential for extreme awkward-ness if he announced during the camp that he would be leaving, as opposed to coming back in a year. He will always keep ties to Akron, but i cant imagine him making an announcement that he would leave DURING this camp. Any announcement at all would be hes staying

I doubt he goes full distance on a contract. He should do a 3 year opt out.

This contract is not about money. He gonna make plenty.

I think that it is very realistic that LeBron gives up the 30 mill. With the guarantee that he can make it up all he has to do is become the spokeman for the Optimum and sign a contract for 30 million. Done deal.

I also think he's going to convince his boy bosh to come to cleveland and tehy'll try a sing and trade with toronto.

I just can't imagine Bosh would go to Ohio. That's very nearly crazy talk.
