LeBron James is used to being treated like royalty by his teams and being the focal point of every transaction made. While there hasn't been any firm decisions or requests made by either party, neither the team nor James have denied the rumors or tried to quell their flames. When James accepted his $52.6 million player option for the season, many people expected him to remain with the team as it limited their spending power and the ability for other teams to match the salary.
