Bill Simmons claimed that James going home to reunite with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time has already been determined.
“The thing that happened to poor Golden State is, I think they thought they were getting LeBron and potentially [Anthony Davis] and now, it’s pretty clear they were being used by leverage, as leverage, as LeBron goes back to Cleveland,” the NBA pundit first said on the latest episode of his The Bill Simmons Podcast.
When pressed by Joe House about the leverage he was referring to, Simmons gave a straightforward answer: “The Cleveland thing is done.”
Will LeBron James come home and rejoin the Cavs?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are seen as one of the leading contenders to sign LeBron James in free agency, alongside the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers. As such, in the end, a reunion with his hometown franchise is widely regarded as the best possible outcome for the 41-year-old superstar.
Even those teams competing against the Cavs see LeBron reuniting with Cleveland as the possibility to beat.
So far, there have already been hints that James may be open to a reunion with the Cavaliers. Rumors gained momentum after a photo of him alongside several of his high school teammates and Cavaliers assistant general manager Brandon Weems surfaced during his reported stay in Akron.
In the end, everyone can only wait and see whether Bill Simmons’ revelation will materialize into reality, as many fans can’t wait to see James playing his record-breaking 24th NBA season while wearing a Cavs uniform.
