LeBron’s Return To Miami Not Certain

This week, several reports have indicated that LeBron James was leaning heavily towards re-signing with the Heat and clubs around the league seem to have shifted their focus away from the game’s top talent.  In fact, while Carmelo Anthony continues his nationwide tour, teams have been having trouble getting in touch with James’ camp.  However, a report from Chris Broussard of ESPN.com paints a different picture of where the Heat stand with James.

After a lunch meeting last Wednesday, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were committed to returning to the Heat, but James was unsure of what he would do, sources said.  James also did not ask or suggest that Wade and Bosh opt out of their deals or take lesser salaries to allow the Heat to add other top players.  Bosh and Wade are intent on returning, but neither of them knows what James will do.

Bosh and Wade were so uncertain about James’s future after the meeting that one of them spoke about what the Heat might look like without him, according to one source.  Where LeBron winds up, as far as Bosh and Wade are concerned, is still up in the air.  The only certainty is that James wants a max deal.
