The only way for James to go to the Cavaliers is through a sign-and-trade! James rarely posted something related to the Cavaliers.

Renowned journalist Shams conducted an interview with Tencent's Meng Chao today regarding LeBron's summer moves. He noted that LeBron's top priority at this point is definitely extending his career for at least one more year. The Lakers have made it clear both on and off the record that they really hope James comes back.

As for James, he is currently trying to assess his mental and physical condition. Given his age, staying in Los Angeles would provide a more comfortable lifestyle.

However, nobody knows the answer right now, but during the period between the draft and early July, we will have a clearer picture of James' intentions. For now, the Lakers' desire to keep him is very strong.

According to ESPN reporter Tim Bontemps, several scouts and executives around the league believe that Reaves could sign a 5-year, $200 million contract with the Lakers.

One Eastern Conference scout said: "I'd be surprised if Reaves' first-year salary starts with a 3 instead of a 4. But the Lakers need to keep him, and he wants to stay there, so I think the deal will get done."

Meanwhile, the Nets are one of the potential suitors for Reaves worth watching this summer. They have about $47.7 million in cap space, enough to offer Reaves a satisfying contract. Reaves is expected to decline his $14.9 million player option and become a free agent in pursuit of a big payday.

Now back to LeBron James.

James made an intriguing move today. He shared a highlight clip on social media of Game 3 of the 2016 Finals, when the Cavaliers were down 0-2 and won, captioning it: "This team was freaking amazing!"

ESPN LA radio Lakers reporter Jorge Sedano believes James could actually return to Cleveland. "Again, I'm not reporting this as news. I asked around yesterday, and everyone I talked to gave a similar answer: 'Yeah, it's possible.'"

"The only real way it happens is through a sign-and-trade. That is, LeBron goes to the Lakers to negotiate a sign-and-trade, giving the Lakers some assets in return, like Jarrett Allen. That solves the salary cap issues and makes everyone happy. I think that might be in the best interest of both sides."

"I don't know if it will happen. A sign-and-trade isn't easy; it's complicated. You can't just snap your fingers and make it work—it requires cooperation from all parties. But I do believe a sign-and-trade is possible. I don't think LeBron will sign a $3 million veteran minimum with the Cavs. That's never going to happen."

Cavaliers reporter Chris Fedor also said: "If Cleveland wants to get LeBron, it will almost certainly have to be through a sign-and-trade. That means we'd have to use contracts like Jarrett Allen, Dean Wade, or Max Strus. And before the Cavs can even make a move, they'd probably need to reach a verbal extension agreement with Harden."

NBA insider Scoop B indicated that it's entirely possible for the Cavaliers to land James. If that happens, Harden is expected to opt out and sign a new, team-friendly contract to help Cleveland get under the salary cap. Then, once free agency begins, the Cavs would send Dean Wade in a sign-and-trade, followed by a second trade moving Max Strus to free up cap space.

The Cavaliers would certainly prefer James to sign using the mini mid-level exception to save money. But if a sign-and-trade with the Lakers brings James to Cleveland, they would gladly accept that as well.

In short: The Cavaliers are making a push. Let's wait and see.
