Pretty consistent with what's been reported on this site the last couple days, but thought I'd share.

Hopefully this means he picks soon and we can get the ball rolling on other free agent signings and trades.

LeBron James has narrowed his choices down to the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski during an appearance on Fox Sports Live.
 
James will meet with Pat Riley on Wednesday.
 
James is looking for a max contract from the Heat while the team also improves the roster. The Heat have reached agreements with Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger in free agency

if you are LeBron, would you go back to Miami or Cleveland

Miami

Chalmers/Wade/Lebron/Bosh/McRoberts?
Napier/Cole/RayAllen/DannyGranger/Beasley/Birdman

OR

Cle

Irving/Waiters (Or Wiggins)/Lebron/Thompson/Varejao

Miami still looks more interesting to me, at least Miami has the better front court with Bosh with him

I think it really depends on whether or not Cleveland's front office can sell LeBron on being competent this time around. At least as far as basketball stuff goes.

As far as business stuff goes, I'm sure he'll make money regardless of where he winds up.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I think Cleveland was always trying to be competitive, just not overly aggressive and trying to grab smaller impact players vs bigger impact players to build around James

I mean, pre-Miami (starting in 06 btw)

Cleveland made, 1 NBA finals appearance, and 1 Conference Finals, and 2 2nd round exits (eliminated by us, but it was a game 7 and a game 6 hard fought match).

They weren't a shabby team

The Cavs are practically trying to create an All Star team lol.

They weren't a shabby team because they had James -- who had, uh, reheated Shaq, Delonte, and  Big Z as his best teammates?

We like to talk about how a team's ceiling has been reached around here, and I think that Finals sweep was the Cav's ceiling.

Meanwhile, Melo is holding out hope that the Knicks can land Lebron

He will be in Cleveland with Kevin Love by the end of the week. Celts will be contenders by 2019.
