I for one think there is No way in hell Lebron leaves the Cavs. I think all this talk is just going to drive up Clevelands offer. He grew up here his whole life and is playing for his hometown team. The Cavs will get him some better talent and they did reach the Finals just two seasons ago. He isn't going anywhere imo.

He doesn't need to flirt with NY or the Nets to get a better offer from Cleveland. They're going to give him the MAX regardless.
As for playing for his hometown....you're assuming that he actually likes his hometown, which is Akron--not Cleveland. Perhaps it's a situation where he's a big fish in a small pond. If he goes to NY or the Nets, he could be king of New York...which, with his ego, he'd probably enjoy more.
