LeBron James has every intention of re-signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But for now, he’s opting out of his $21.5 million player option for the 2015-16 season. According to a report from Brian Windhorst of ESPN, James will wait and see how things go for the Cavs in free agency before re-upping.
It’s highly unlikely that LeBron goes anywhere, but this is news nonetheless.
