My favorite teams
I doubt Lebron bolts Cleveland again. He's truly a jerk if he does. But, I believe Lebron only signed for 2 years so that he can reup with the expected higher salary cap numbers and get even more money. There's a post by BNB (I think) in another thread (possibly the free agency thread) that has a scenario where the salary cap basically doubles and Lebron is making 35+M from the start on a max extension. Not sure why he needs the player option after one year though...that is a little shady.LBJ is only signed for 2 years. What if Love signs a long-term deal and then LBJ bolts? Love is left holding the bag.
All that said, your point is valid. Love would be pretty screwed at that point. He could always demand a trade though I guess.
