After falling short in the Finals, NBA star LeBron James might be having second thoughts as to whether he should remain in his hometown of Cleveland. According to reports, James will opt out of his Cleveland Cavaliers contract on July 1st to become a free agent. He is slated to earn $21.6 million next season and by opting out, he will get a raise. Although many people believe that James will return to Cleveland, some fans are worried. He recently had a meeting with Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love, who also opted out of his contract as well. Other free agents on the Cavs include J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, and Tristan Thompson. Read more.
