LeBron James this summer can opt out of the final year of his two-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but we all know he is not leaving. That doesn’t necessarily mean this will be an uneventful offseason in Cleveland. In all likelihood, LeBron will opt out of his current contract and sign another two-year deal with a player option for the second year. That will allow him to opt out and sign a potentially massive extension when the salary cap increases after the 2016-2017 season. As Brian Windhorst of ESPN notes, James likes the idea of keeping the Cavs from getting complacent. Would it be horrible for LeBron’s legacy if he abandoned Cleveland again? Yes. Is he going to leave? Probably not. Is he leaving his options open? You bet. That’s one of the reasons the Cavs are basically deferring to LeBron on all roster decisions. - See more at: http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/lebron-james-play-gm-for-cavs/264736
