What’s really going on with LeBron?

Seriously, what’s really going on with LeBron James?

The Cleveland Cavaliers look as vulnerable as ever, and it seems like everything is leaking from LeBron’s camp. That’s usually never happening. Which brings me to a bigger point, is what we’re seeing over the last few months just LeBron laying the ground work for his departure from Cleveland?

Think about it. If you could script his exit, wouldn’t this be it? Or, at the very least, something eerily close to what has happened to the Cavs?

LeBron is a free agent in July. The Cavs are falling apart at the seams, and they’re reportedly unwilling to trade their best trade chip. We know what happens next.

Cleveland may be screwed either way; it might not even matter what they do at the trade deadline. Shame.
