LeBron James still wants to end his career in Cleveland. From Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com:
“It hasn’t changed,” James said, when asked. He also nodded when asked, directly, if he intended to finish his career in Cleveland.
“And that’s why I sit up here today, still in this uniform, still ready to lead this franchise to a championship, put us in a position where we can be successful.”
James responded to questions in a very political way:
“Anytime I’m able to be free agent or my contract ends, I’ll approach that when the summer comes,” he said. “At the end of the day I have a contract and I will fill out that obligation, which I’ve always done.
“And if you guys know me, I don’t know if you know me as much, but I’ve always handled it in the most businesslike way. And I will do that with my team, and we’ll handle that in the summertime, as we always have.”
James may want to end his career in Cleveland, but he still hasn’t addressed the issue of whether or not he’ll stick around next season. Rumors about LeBron James skipping town for L.A. or New York have been flying around left and right. The fact that James hasn’t denied those rumors, even a little bit, speaks volumes.
