This article is strictly speculative in nature; but allow me to pose this to you. What if LeBron's ultimate plan is to one day own the Cleveland Cavaliers? Then this could be a magnificent move on his part.
Say you are LeBron James. You have stated your ultimate goal one day is to own an NBA franchise. You want to buy the Cavaliers, but currently they're valued at $476 million by Forbes Magazine. Thanks to your presence, the organizations value has sky rocketed to the fifth highest in the league.
On top of the inflated figure, the current owner rubs you as being disingenuous. You always have this suspicion that he's a phony hypocrite. You know he seems like the type of guy that would just lie to you to your face.
You see that NBA ratings haven't rebounded since the Jordan era. You've won two MVP's, but you see the glaring hole on your mantle and legacy is an NBA title. Not just one but several. Something to make you relevant all year around.
You look at your options and see one that would be polarizing. People would at first back lash against you and criticize you. They would say that you needed to join a great team to get it done.
