Sheridan’s Top 25 Free Agents: July 9 Edition – LeBron going to Cleveland

by

The Decision has been made. LeBron James is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a league source tells SheridanHoops.com. James met with Miami Heat president Pat Riley today in Las Vegas to deliver the news. A contingent of other Heat officials were informed they were not welcome at the meeting, according to a source who spoke on condition of anonymity. An official announcement will be made on www.lebronjames.com, as I first reported yesterday. For Cleveland, this is one of the most important days in the

PODCAST: More on possibility of LeBron James to Cleveland

by

The Cleveland Cavaliers have cleared the cap space to make a max offer to LeBron James by trading Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller and Sergei Karasev (along with a first-round draft pick) in a three-way deal with Boston and Brooklyn. So one major impediment is out of the way. But as we head into the final 12 hours of the NBA’s signing moratorium, there remains a lot of skepticism that James will return to his original NBA team. I covered that topic at length

PODCAST: LeBron James to the Cavs?

by

Lots of responses to my sourced story on there being a 90 percent chance that LeBron James signs with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boggles my mind that people are shocked, given that LeBron is an unrestricted free agent. But people are shocked. That’s what makes July the best month in the NBA. Get a grip (sorry to steal your line, Pat Riley) by repeating to yourself this phrase: “LeBron James is an unrestricted free agent.” Here is more on LeBron-to-Cavs possibility, in interview with Spence Checketts

May: LeBron to Cleveland Ain’t Gonna Happen

by

Can we please put an end to the LeBron-to-Cleveland story? That’s all it is, a story, an unlikely narrative that might be appealing on the surface – the Prodigal Son Returns – but falls apart under the narrowest scrutiny. I say it ain’t gonna happen. Why would the best player in the game, in the prime of his career, sign with a team that can’t win? Why would the best player in the game, in the prime of his career, sign with a

PODCAST: How is Cleveland reacting to possibility of LeBron return?

by

Some very smart journalists and sports talk radio hosts have been downright dismissive of the possibility of LeBron James returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers. What part of “unrestricted free agent” did they not get? The LeBron story is front and center today because of the possibility that he might return to the Cavs. A plugged in source told me he believes that chances of Decision II being known as Redemption Night are about 75 percent. Naturally, this has folks in Miami in

PODCAST: LeBron James returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers?

by

LeBron James met in person with the Cleveland Cavaliers over the weekend. On Sunday night, the infamous Dan Gilbert rant from 2010 disappeared from the Cavs Web site. This morning, I reported that James’ inner circle — from his wife to his business manager to his best friends — are unanimous in their belief that James should return to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent. Pat Riley and the Miami Heat will get another chance to sell James on their vision and

Earl Monroe says Carmelo Anthony “has unfinished business” with Knicks

by

The pursuit of free agent Carmelo Anthony has reached a fever pitch on both coasts, with the Knicks and Lakers both having reportedly offered max contracts to the superstar scorer in hopes of luring Anthony to their respective franchises. But the money should not be the top motivating factor in Anthony’s decision, according to New York Knicks legend Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. “Everyone’s throwing a lot of money at him,” Monroe told SheridanHoops in a one-on-one interview Monday morning. “It should be about
