Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
While we have all casually assumed that LeBron James will be leaving the Cavaliers in the summer of 2010, and running to New York City to hang with Jay-Z and become even more of a world basketball icon (oh, and eventually actually playing some basketball, too, either for the Knicks or Nets; details). But what if all this time, he was just playing us? And that really, LeBron is planning on staying in Cleveland. To play with Dwyane Wade.
"Before we agreed to terms, LeBron and I had a couple conversations," Wade said. "I can't recall exactly what we said, but the gist of it was we wanted to give ourselves the flexibility and the option to play together."
"A lot of times in this league, players usually wind up going where they can get the most money. We're both blessed within that area. We've made a lot of money. So we wanted to base our decision on two things, the organization and the ability to win a title. And that's what we'll do. When the season is over, we plan to sit down and talk about it."
LeBron and Wade -- who are still just 24 and 27 years old, respectively -- together? All Your NBA Titles Are Belong To Us
