Well, I don't know if anyone will find this as particularly interesting as I did, but figured it was as big news as some trucks being loaded up with cars in Miami.

A very large online sportsbook currently offers a where will Lebron sign prop. My friend told me that as of right now the odds listed are

Cleveland -320
Any other team +240

For those that don't live in an area where gambling is legal and/or don't understand odds this means that if someone bet 10 dollars on Lebron signing with Cleveland (and he does) they would make about 3 dollars.

If someone bet 10 dollars on Lebron signing with any other team and he does, they would receive 24.

If there is one person I would ever trust among rumors it is the lines set by Vegas, as they are pretty much smarter than anyone out there.

Anyone else find this surprising?

Interesting. It is certainly looking more and more likely that Bron goes to Cleveland. I'm guessing the hold up is to get Miami to agree to a S&T with Bosh.
Celtics fan for life.

S&T of Bosh to Cleveland or do you mean Houston?

Considering there have been hundreds of posts on the blog today about where he will go, it is hardly common knowledge among the posters that he is officially going to Cleveland. Sorry you personally didn't find it interesting.
