    As he reaches midseason of his rookie year, LeBron James answered questions from Beacon Journal pro basketball writer Brian Windhorst in his most wide-ranging and candid interview since turning pro.

    From his Nike endorsement contract to the Ohio High School Athletic Association controversies to his feelings the night the Cavaliers won the draft lottery, James expressed opinions on the past, present and future.

    Do you see yourself as a Cavalier for the long-term, too?

    "I can't predict the future. I can't say I will play for the Cavaliers my whole career, because you never know. This is what I do know: if I have anything to do with it, I am going to be here."</div>

    Great that LeBron wants to be here and develope here! Boozer and LeBron is our main guys in the future, so if they stay, no one can tell how the team will be, but one thing do we know if they stays:
    Watch out NBA!

    If the Cavs mess up and lose LeBron James, sell and move the team.

    I can't believe we're already talkin about this, but I'll have to admit, I've already thought about us losing him after his 4 years are up. A lot depends on how we do in the next few years. If Paxson commits to bringing a winner to Cleveland, and as long as we STOP SCREWING OVER FORMER EMPLOYEES!, we might keep him here for a long time.

    I agree with you both, Juice and KJ!
    If we lose LeBron, then we got to sell the team and move!

    we? you own the team or somethin.
    Here is what i think about this. I have not gone to college yet but when i do i dont want to go anywhere in northern va. lebron most likely doesnt want to stay in cleveland because he lived so close to that city for his entire life he wants to see the country go somewhere else meet new people see new things. if this is the case i know how he feels. for those of you that went to college didnt you want to get away from where you spent your entire life?

    Well, there is still road games that he could see the rest of the country. I don't think he really cares where he plays just as long as he can play basketball

    Alot can change after his 3 year contract with the Cavs. Points of views change and he will be at the state of mind of winning the gold. Hopefully, the Cavs will be at that stage by the time his contract is up.

    Yeah I know what you mean, He doesn't want to live by his mom his whole life, but maybe he does. Just saying that some people are different. I don't think that it should decide where he does and doesn't play, some people play well at there home town, others don't.

    James wants to win, end of story.

    The Cavs know this, and they know if they don't make an effort to win, we will lose him. Look at the trades they have made this year, old Cavs teams would be lucky to make one move every two years that would be very minor.

    Nah, in Norway we use to get a close relationship to our teams as we were a part of it, so I sometimes says we instead of Cavaliers, sorry!
