NBA - Sports Rumors

LeBron James; Caron Butler

The New York media was out in force Tuesday and they all wanted to know the same thing: What is LeBron James going to do in 2010? Is he going to the New York Knicks? To the New Jersey Nets? Will he say with the Cleveland Cavaliers?

"I'm not thinking about making a change at this point, I'm just trying to focus on the team I have here and the relationship I have with the Cavs," he told the Plain Dealer.

Though he reiterated he is happy in Cleveland, he did provide some insight into what might go into his decision in 2010.

"When I decide to make the decision, it's going to basically put me in a position where I feel like I can win multiple championships," James said. "If it's staying here, I'll be here. If it's moving elsewhere, I'll have to look at my options."

Asked what part loyalty plays into such a decision, James said: "You do what's best for you and your family and what's best for your career. Loyalty definitely has a big part to do with it, but the time you spend with that respective team, you give a lot of loyalty. Every night I go out, I play hard. That's loyalty.

"It's hard. It's a business. The franchise is going to do what's best for the franchise. For some odd reason, when the players do what's best for the players, it always comes back on us and almost looks bad. But when a franchise decides to give up on a player, then it's OK. So we've got to do what's best for us."

James said this Cavs team is the best he has been on.

    he's going to the highest bidder not multiple championship because the price tag he's gonna ask for is not gonna surround him with all stars but a a group of young players. i think knicks will take him or the mavs because they're the only ones really out there to pay luxury tax without worrying about it. and i think detroit is gonna go after kobe this summer just wait and see

    K-O-B-E to Detroit?? This is the 1st time I've heard anybody say anything like that! I don't think so... the only reason I see him leaving LA is to come east to have an easier path to the finals... but I don't see him being on any team better than where he's at, unless he somehow hooks up with D-Wade

    The Cavs Suck, Lebron Sucks, The Nets and Knicks suck. He can go where ever he want's If he isn't with a real Big man who can dominate the game then he has no chance of winning anything.

    The "King" shot 36% from the floor, 20% on 3's, and under 70% on FT in his only NBA final. He also averaged 6 turnovers a game. It does not matter which team he plays for. With The "King" on the team, they will not win a championship. Lebron is another T-Mac, or Stevie "FRanchise" the media loves him, he loves himself, he can talk it, but can't walk it.
