Yeah, this whole deal with Cleveland comes down to leverage. Cleveland is trying to gain leverage by refusing to sign and trade. However, Lebron ultimately holds the keys to the car here. If Lebron can convince Cleveland that he has no intention of resigning, Cleveland's leverage drops to zero, and you better believe that would be willing to sign and trade if the price is right. The key here is he needs an attractive team that he can leave for, and I think he has that in Chicago. If Cleveland tries to play hardball here, I ultimately see Lebron just packing his bags and heading over to the Windy City.

So Cleveland can instead be known as the franchise that let Lebron walk away for nothing.
