Btw... the tweet doesn't say he's announcing his decision at 6pm.  It says he's announcing it on lebronjames.com... and then amico suggests you start refreshing that page as of 6:00pm (the meeting with RIley is at 3:00pm pacific/6:00pm eastern)... misleading title.  I bet he announces it tomorrow.
Since nobody is paying attention...

But he is announcing it on his website. Why does he need to announce it at all? I dont want to jump to conclusions, but just let the news come out man!

Is he literally not telling anyone until he announces it on his website?

They only have about 25 mil on the books.

They have like 40 mil in cap space.

Sign Bron to a max contract... something like 20 mil a year, right?

Still have roughly 15-20 mil in cap space....

In-fact... if it's me:

Have Bron and Melo split the cap space...

Trade Wiggins + Bennett (5.5 mil), Thompson (5.5 mil), Waiters (4 mil) for Love

Kyrie, Varejao, Love, Melo, Bron

Just contemplating the fact that next year's Cavs will probably consist of Lebron, an injury-prone ball-dominant scoring guard, an all-star stretch 4, and a bunch of nobodies who can't rebound or play interior defense.

He does have a type, eh?

In all seriousness, though, if this is what his wife and family wants... and it kind of seems like that's the case... I think this is kind of nice. As sports superstars go, he's a pretty decent role model. I wish he'd stop shilling those stupid whoofy headphones, but you can't have everything

This thread is based on a nonsense tweet.

All the tweet says... LeBron is EXPECTED to announce his decision on his website.

Then it mentions that his meeting with Riley is at 6:00pm so we should go to the website at 6:00pm and start refreshing.

Stupid premise.   That meeting might last 5 hours.   He might wait a week to announce his decision... and we don't know if he'll actually announce it on his website... it's just "expected".

I've read where the Cavs don't want to give up Wiggins.

If they don't, then Cleveland's offer is no better than Boston's.

Not just no better, but far worse than any offer that Boston can put together.

Wait hold on, Cavs getting Lebron, Love and Melo?!

So the whole league is going to Cleveland?

i just dont want cleveland to win a championship, thats pretty much my whole thing.

Geez why not?  Poor Cleveland.

idk, i like wen bad teams stay bad (as long as they're not the celtics). i hated wen the clips got nice, but i like that they havent won a championship thus far.

What a tyrant.

huh? I love it when all the teams are competitive. It's a waste of money to owners, and a waste of time for local fans of basketball fans...I like seeing improvements and see different teams duke it out every year...if every year's 16 playoff teams are the same then it would be boring!

Cleveland is moronic if they don't wanna give up Wiggins when the underlying result could be Lebron/Love.

It doesn't matter what Cleveland wants if LeBron goes there he will make the decisions

I dont care about the time!

I am commenting on the fact that he is expected to make some kind of formal announcement on his website, whenever that may be.

Granted, Amico may have a bad source here, but the idea that he could have a mini "decision" 2.0 is pretty silly.
